Parting out 87 v-6 car.

I am giving away my 87 v-6 cougar. It is in really good shape, minus the fact that the engine is apart and missing some peices, and the header panel has some chunks. If I can't get rid of it as a whole, I am just going to part it out. Any utahn is  more then happy to have it for free.

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.

Yeah I know what you mean. I wish I didnt live so far from all of you guys. Its in really good shape minus the header panel body wise, and the interior is what sold me on the car. i wish I could give it to someone that would use it or at least put it back together, but I need to get rid of it asap. My dad and the family is moving in with my new step mom and she has a small driveway and wont let us park cars in the yard.

I guess I am parting out the car. The interior is basically mint, good tail lights, headlights are fogged, but otherwise in good shape. All good turn signals. good rear bumper, good trim. Let me know if you need anything.

Common guys, whole free, or parting out at a resonable price. Any part that you want and I will throw out a price. Here are some pics for you all to look at. I can get better ones of any part you want.



It really isnt a bad looking car. The engine is just taken apart, as far as I know, you put it back together and it will fire right up. All that is missing is some bolts. I have a new timing chain cover as well.

are the trim pieces forward of the front wheel wells and rear of the rear wheel wells the same as the bird versions? if so i would be interested in the pass rear(mines cracked) and both fronts so i can delete my cornering lamps.

How much for the rear bumper cover? and is the front one still okay?? Shot a num. also passenger rear trim would be good also, did it have the poppers on the gas and trunk, need those also. and the passenger side dew wipe. That should be about it for now. Thanks

Okay guys, I am really really sorry, I have been away for a couple of days, and I sold the car to my freinds brother. Sorry. I may be selling later because my freinds brother will be moving far away in a couple of months. I will let you know. Sorry.
