Complete 1985 Cougar Parts Car - Nebraska

SOLD 5-16-09

The time has come to part with my first car, my 1985 Cougar GS.  I'd like to see someone who appreciates these get some use out of it rather than just sending it to the recyclers, or letting it continue to sit and rot away.

When parked, the car still ran and drove.  I stopped driving it due to the suspension being so bad that it wasn't safe at highway speeds.  The starter was giving some issues at the time as well.  That was 5-6 years, and the car hasn't been started or drove since then.  The trans has about 30K on a rebuild.  The interior was decent, but the mice have found their way in.

This one has the 3.8L V6.  I'm located just west of Lincoln, NE.  I'll let it go pretty cheap to anyone on the boards that can get some good use out of it.

If you part it, I might be interested in the a/c compressor (if it's good) and would fit my '87.  Looks like the system was converted to 134a?

I don't blame you, I wanted to make it into a nice car for the wife. If she doesn't want it I would give it to my dad for all the work he has done for me.

Pretty cheap.  Dan wants to come out and take a look, so I will give him first opportunity.

I didn't realize there were any other T-Bird/Cougar guys in Lincoln.  You should probably check out our Nebraska group of Fox and MN12 cars.
