Holy cow! Anybody want another car?

Craig's List is just LOADED with 83-88 T-Bird's and Cougar's. In just my local area I've found:

1988 TC, Med red/red moonroof 5-Speed, 115K miles, $1500
1986 XR7, White/tan auto, 41K miles, mint, $2900
1988 Sport White/red leather (dual seats, buckets, floor shift, standard panels, premo sound, black window trim, 5.0), NICE, $900
1987 TBird, 3.8/auto 2-tone blue, nice shape, $600
1986 TC, White/red 5-Speed, $1200
1983 Cougar, 3.8/auto, gold/tan, LOADED, nice, $600

And that was in the first 10 minutes of searching! I'd really like to get those 1st 3, stupid house!!:hick:

Come down for a visit before I move! I'm going to Kelso (230 miles south) in 2 weeks, so if you want any parts/cars come down and get them now.

Wow, how did you find them. Are they on the web by any chance?

http://www.craigslist.org then click on the one(s) closest to you. You have to search ads, but searching "T-Bird, TBird, Thunderbird, Cougar, Turbo Coupe, and Turbocoupe" usually nets me all of the fox's. You have to search 1 at a time. I look in the Seattle, Bellingham, and Portland ones.

i love craigslist it is better than ebay b/c people are local and no shipping  and the prices drop somuch faster. i miss a 1970 Dodge Coronet Hemi with every thing that hadn't been started in ten years and one of the carb was off but it was only 2500. i think we all know what old mopars are going for now so i thnk its safe to say i miss a million dollar car opertunity. i posted a $200 parts car off of the st louis branchin the for sale section i think it was a 93
