I finally got a Cougar back. Reply #3 – June 30, 2007, 09:35:21 PM That was on Ebay wasn't it? I kept seeing it being reposted but no one bid on it. Pretty Sharp. How does a low mileage 3.8 run anyway? Any problems you can tell of? Quote Selected
I finally got a Cougar back. Reply #4 – June 30, 2007, 10:04:11 PM It was on EBay.The guy had a problem with his ebay account someone hacked into it and kept relisting it. the guy has a few people buy it now and actually pay for it so he had to go through and refund them. anyway it runs pretty good a few small problems the starter needs to be shimmed out you can hear it not disengaging all the way and it has a small exhaust leak from where they installed the new cat back exhaust and the old pipe. Other than thatit rides real nice and smooth my 87 I usedto own didnt handle like this one does. One last problem it has a slight hesitation I am hoping it is just the fuel filter is clogged but we will see. Quote Selected
