Need Parts? 84 Cougar going to crusher

I'm finally given up on my 84 Cougar (3.8)and planning to take it to the crusher in about 2 weeks.  Body is in great shape.  Just getting rid of vehicle because starting to have wire insulation problems (don't feel likely messing with rewiring whatever), and front pump seal (C5) is leaking.

Before I do, if anyone needs any parts (depending on the amount of effort required on my part to get the part off), I will be glad to give any part away provided the person who wants the parts pays for shipping and boxing.

Some items that may be of interest are:
1) Rear taillights.
2) Original wire hub caps and cover plates
3) New tires (75000 mile Goodyear Touring P205 75R14) but only with a tire / rim swap so I can have the vehicle hauled away.
4) Lot new parts incluing oxygen sensor (have about 20 miles on them).
5) A new unused throttle body rebuild kit by Standard. 
6) Practically new distributor cap (about 10 miles) and fairly new plug wires.
6) Front grill and headlight cover also in good shape but NOT sure on effort required to remove these.  Will have to look at Shop first. 
7) The cruise control linkage connector.  Supposedly I go the last one on both coasts when the engine was rebuilt.

If you live near Tucson, your welcome to come by and get a part, but as I said, in two weeks the Cougar is gone.

If someone wants the whole vehicle the crusher is offering me $500-$600 for the metal, so will sell it as/is for $500.

For some reason the system deleted your PM when I was deleting others.  Below is a description of items of interest.
Don't have time to do pictures and such.  If of interest, send me another PM and we will make arrangements..

As stated the wirewheel hubcaps and plastic inserts are yours "free" if you pay postage (however you want them sent) and the cost of packaging.
I'm not making a dime, just trying to help others.
Re:
1)  the black plastic wire wheel hub cap cover plate with the cougar on it.  I know I have 4 and maybe 5 or 6.  One of the 4 does have three or 4 holes through it (did it years ago) to secure the metal
 to the back of the plastic.  Others are in good shape, but "may" have a chip or two out of them on the inside outer edge (not visible) after almost 30 years usage.
2)  Re the wire wheel covers.  Three are visually like new, the other has a small se on it.  However, I do remember repairing several of the inside attaching wire bracket supports with
KB Weld as they are pot metal and broke where the wire went though the inside bracket support.  The repair has held up well as wheel covers have been on and off several times since repair.
As of the writing, remember it took quite a lot of effort to repair them as the wire must slide (float) underneath the bracket to allow it to engage the inside of the rim.

Hey David, just curious, what console options do you have?  Dual power seats, power mirrors/windows etc?
Thanks,
David

Believe I replied to your PM (not sure) as find the PM system confusing as to which message I'm replying to.
To repeat just in case:

Yes:  Those are the original wire wheels. 
Mine have a specially keyed locking bolt that goes through the center (to stop theft)
and a black cover plate with a cougar logo (head) that snaps into the center area
to hide the locking bolt.

MY83T:
Just driver (not pass)  seat is power
Have power doors, windows, and lighted mirrors
FWIW car is white with a beige interior.
I'm original owner so IMHO, things are in good shape.  No Kids "ever" in vehicle and back seat only had passengers two or three times as I recall.
Did the window motors with new gears couple years back (about $20 per gear from NAPA as I recall).  Never touched power mirrors and work fine.
Center dash and mirror / window controls are black in color.
Your welcome to them, but as stated if a lot of effort involved you'll have to pull  yourself since this is gratis.

The dash is beige and NOT cracked.  There is small dark spot on the dash (as I recall without looking about 1/2 inch wide by 3 inch long) close to the window that appears to be sun discoloration.
As originally posted with my offer, I'm willing to give away parts (not in the junk business or trying to make a buck) provided they are easy to remove.  Dash removal is NOT easy and I'm
sure shipping (other than by freight) would be a bunch.
