In my hometown!

I was on ebay, just looking at cougars. I found a 1984 that looks pretty good, but I cant trust pictures. Anyway, I was dreaming of my cat looking as good as then when I scrolled up. The Location happens to be the city I live in!

I emailed the guy and told him to call me so I could take a look at it. Theres no telling if I'd be able to get it, but I need something. My cougar I think I have decided is un-salvagable. The frame is rusted soo bad, and even though someone on the forums would sell me a whole body (for about $500 including shipping) I dont know if it is possible to even transfer everything over into it, and if it is thats an awefull lot of work. So I do need a car, but I dont know if I would be mean enough to buy this and actually drive it during the winter.

Wow only 1600 miles! I can't believe he didn't take a pic of the odometer with that kinda claim. That has got to be the cleanest V6 Cougar I've evah sawed.

I just realized it sais 8-cylinder at the top, but it sais 3.8 liter in the description. It does say it was a rebuild, and that is the mileage on the rebuild, so the odometer could say otherwise.

Ok, who, where and what year? I need a new body for my cat too. Spread the love man, since you are not going to buy it, maybe I can. :D
Oh, needs to be an 86', or ay least a 4 eyed cat. I already have a solid body on my 87' parts car. I want 4 eyed! :hick:
