Finally!! Pics Added!

I picked this up for 300 bucks about 20 minutes ago. It's an '86, 5.0 fuel injected, about 110,000 on the clock. It has a bad heater core and no power steering at the moment. It has very minimal rust, a little on the front quarter and on the trunklid, but I really really went over the frame and the rear quarters and the door jambs and every other place I could think of so I wouldn't get another rust bucket like my 'ol 20th. Better pics to come tomorrow, as it's raining at the moment, but here's one...

I know it. I never come by deals like this. The interior is  near perfect too. Has a little bubbling in the headliner, but the seats, and carpet look awesome for the age.  The dash dosen't have a single crack in it either!

Use petroleum jelly on the dash. I read that somewhere. ;)

just a week ago i finally re-boxed up all those parts you sent and was cussin you man!!,,like how the hell did he fit all this in there.

Nice find for sure!!

just add a 1/4 turn cut off valve inline with the supply hose to the core for now,,or just hook the heat up to the AC core if your not planning on using much AC.

I figured if I stuffed everything in there good enough it would make up for not using packing peanuts or foam :mullet:

As far as the heater core, I did read the thread about connecting to the ac, and I will probably go that route because I would rather not bypass it, and I don't want to tear my dash up either...

Do it the right way man, no need to screw it up right after you got it.

Well I don't have a lot of experience taken dashes out, nor do I have much patience.... I haven't yet checked to see if the ac is functional, but if it is, then I will most likely try to do it right.

Heater cores are pretty cheap and it may be a whole day of work but in the end it will be worth it.

I am glad you got into another Fox Cougar. Any plans yet? That car looks to be the same salmon color my parts Cougar was.

Congrats!  I must admit I'm somewhat jealous as I have been keeping my eyes peeled for another 86 V8 Cougar myself.

The previous owner actually bought a new heater core, but he had no mechanical skills at all, and he left the part with me.
