just picked this up

figured i'd post some pix of it. i just got it for $250 bux, not bad still pretty dirty. i got lots of cleaning stuff to use but its still kinda cold out. still not bad for $250:D good things are, its got an HO transplant with less than a hundred thousand miles on it, and 11" front brakes. pluss, hopefully ill be getting the rest of the goodies that came with the car.

Nate you are a pansy!  J/K  That 250 dollar car looks better than my 300 dollar car.
So did you have to dust your knees off after getting the car?

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

dude, you suck! j/k:D  That looks so much better than my cougar when i brought it home, and I paid $400 for mine. Yours looks to be an '88 xr7 I'm guessing. Man, you get an 8.8 rear end and a HO swap already done for you. What are the other goodies you where getting with it?

Wow, $250, that's awesome.
Not quite fully loaded but  near it.
Moonroof
dual Power Seats
auto headlight dimmer
speed control

Interesting, no premium sound though.
I'd lose that deflector at the moonroof.
Awesome buy!:D Most of the work is already done.
Wish I could find one like that around here.
How does it run?

I thought they had to have the badge on the door speaker grate notifying premium sound. The EQ was an option with or without PS.
But I'm just nitpicking. The car is still awesome none the less.
