84 Cougar for sale - SOLD

I am selling my 84 Cougar with a 3.8 V6.  The mileage showing on the odometer is just above 40,000.  I don't know anything about the history of this car other than it was stored for many years.  That and the overall condition of the car leads me to believe the miles are correct, but I can't be sure.  I bought it about about 4 months ago and have only put about 300 miles on it.  It is very clean with no rust.

The car runs fairly well most of the time, but occasionally will sputter and run rich.  I never did figure out what causes this as it is occasional and I don't drive it much.  It does also have a few parking lot dings.  The previous owner touched up the dings where the paint chipped, but I don't like the way it looks.  It isn't noticeable unless you are close to the car.  The biggest ding is just behind the Cougar emblem on the passenger side.  The headliner is a bit saggy.  The trim surrounding the radio and A/C controls is cracked on the mounting points where someone overtightened the screws.  The seat belt sleeves are cracked.  There is 2 small slits in the console top.  I put a digital clock in place of the buttstuffog, but the buttstuffog works fine and is in the trunk. 

The car has new:
Fuel pump and filter
Spark plugs
TPS
Heater core
R134a conversion
EGR valve  (used but works)

Even with the imperfections, this is a very nice car.  Please look at the pictures and feel free to ask questions or request more pics of specific areas.  I have various reasons for selling, but mainly the styling of the 83-84 cars just never did grow on me.  Also, I would be tempted to so a V8 swap to it and I don't want to ruin its originality.

The price is $2000 or best offer.

Nope.  83-84 cars had the waterfall grill, 85-86 cars had the butcher block grill.

I wasn't aware there was a difference in the panels.  What is different about them?  Do you know where the part# is on them?

the '83-'84's have an ornament that stands up, the '85-'86's lay flat on the header panel... maybe it is just the emblem that was changed?

You are mistaken.  The stand up hood ornament is an 83 only thing.
