a LOW mileage (Aprox. 30,XXX) MINT condition RUST FREE 1 owner
'86 5.0L Cougar is worth?
$2,500 to $3,200 high end $1,500 to $1,800 low end depending on who buys it.
Just my guess
1,500-2,500 in my area.
in canada id guess a ceiling of around 3,500
In WNY about 4000 and up
saw one about a month ago for 4500 low miles and no winters
Depends on how bad you want it, and how hard it is to find one in your area. 5 years ago I paid $3k for my rust-free, 47k mile (at the time) 88 5.0 Thunderbird and was glad to have the opportunity since such a find is very rare around here.
I'd probably pay upwards of $4k for a mint, low-mile four-eye, but it'd have to be nearly perfect.
this one IS perfect.... even the same colour interior as my '85 Cougar.... should be able to finish the restoration with parts from it... ;)
86 is a great year IMO. 4 eye looks with SEFI. I would be willing to pay $3000.
$2000.
Depends on the options, too.
$500 down here there a dime dozon
I highly doubt it with the mileage stated.....
X2 65,000kms(39,000miles) for $500?!?! i'll take five of them please....
well, I wasnt going to tell anybody until CJ, or atleast until it was home, but I just closed the deal on it and will be picking it up. As soon as the guy comes down and gives me the rest of the cash for my XR-7....
here are some pics....

Do it and DIE!! Seriously.. That thing is BEAUTIFUL.. there is no way I'm going to allow you to do that! :beatyoass::beatyoass:
LoL
Alex i think he ment restoring the new one he just bought with parts from his 85 lol.
Well who needs a low mile 65000k 86 cougar?????
Knowing ron he'll have it up for sale in kijiji as soon as he gets it in his garage lmao!
So is the 88 xr7 gone, did the guy give ya the 3800 ya wanted????
You're getting good at finding replacement cars in good shape!
Ooh, and an almost-no-option car to boot. It's got the only important one, A/C. Nice find...
If you cut that up I will have to come up to Canada and hurt you:beatyoass: ;)
LMAO!!!! about time you guys caught that!!! lol, NO I WONT be chopping this one OR daily driving it for that matter.... strictly a nice weather car and to take to cruise-ins... and drag strip runs....
LOL, chris this one will NEVER leave my ownership....actually that is where I got it... kijiji.... I think the E-man knows about the sentimental memories a similar car to your first, can do for you.... this thing has the exact same interior as my '85... minus a few options...
yeah I got $3800 for her.... am going to miss it, but this one should make getting over it easier....
hey guys, just got back from putting the down payment on it.... I have never seen one in this good of shape around here... I was litterally speachless.... with a few weeks of cleanning and detailing it should be the same as Rics... I couldn't find any rust anywheres these things are known to rust... one tiny spot starting in the bottom of the door from the looks of it.. what a steal I got... LOL.
The pics I took today are here:

That is sweet..... :bowdown:
What's up with the engine bay? It looks like the inner fenders and fire wall are rusty as hell :hick:
It could be some sort of rust preventer though. Really, really, old rust preventer ;)
its undercoating from 1986... he had it done when he bought it and has stored it in the garage all its life.... Said " dunno why I did that, I never intended to ever winter drive it to begin with"
First thing I will do is put my ten holes on it, then headers, 2.5" off road h-pipe and flowmasters...
Then strip the motor and tranny and clean and detail the engine bay.... Man I have had MANY sleepless nights thining about this car... LOL
now, BUILD A GARAGE lmao.
a tree hits this one its a sign. *knocks on wood*
IF a tree hits this one..... SOMEBODY is getting a SEVERE ass kicking at next years CJ :beatyoass: :beatyoass: :beatyoass:
