86 5.0 Cougar, 75K miles, $1200

https://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/cto/5199698023.html

Local suburb to me. 75K miles and a 5.0 but probably has rust issues. Appears to be a red interior as well. If the strut towers/frame rails/chassis is fairly rust free it might be an ok project though.........

Looks like the center of the bumper contacted something and it split, probably from age. Notice the impact mark on the bumper between the grill and the passenger side headlamps.
