85 cougar 302, dual exhaust + more

It's time for me to sell the old cougar.  It has serious rust along the bottoms of the doors, and on the rear quarters.  Some surface rust elsewhere as well.  Things that need fixed besides rust:

Fuel gauge does not work.
Brakes need bled.
Alternator light stays on.  It has a brand new battery, cables, and voltage regulator.  I took the alternator in to get it checked and it was fine. 
Needs major cleaning inside as well.  Power steering loses fluid over time, not sure if it's the pump or a seal.  It leaks oil from the valve covers, but not enough to be terrible, as I never had it get very low on oil.  Engine is greasy though.

Extra parts:  It has a primer grey spoiler on the back, which is similar to a iroc spoiler.  Not one of those rice wings.  I have chrome 302 valve covers, some .040 KB pistons and rings for a 302, a HEI distributor, used but undamaged header panel, axel shafts to convert it over to 5 bolt in the rear. 
I recently put new calipers and pads on the front.  It has a new dual exhaust on it, which eliminated the catalyc converters.  That cost me $250, and I haven't driven the car much since then.

I have a title around here somewhere.  I just moved a couple months ago so I will have to find it.  This car could be road worthy again, but needs work like I said.  I am looking for $500 as it sits, with all the extra parts which I paid nearly that for. 

I live in Lincoln, NE which is where you would need to come get it. 
I will try to get some pictures of it, waiting to get the digital camera back.

Working on pics.  It's not a pretty cat anymore, selling for parts mostly.  Title is accounted for, clear, and will be included.

I'll have it somewhat cleaned out, trash at least.
