he's asking $4k for it. 65,000 miles and motor/trans are supposed to be good. i was going to go take a look at it, and see if the motor cranks over.

Do it! The seats, gauges, center stack trim, spoiler, and taillights are all easy sales. Plus the rear-end, exhaust, rear bumper, brakes, etc, etc...
You won't make $4K, but in between selling off whatever mod motor you have now and parting the rest of that car out you'd have a pretty "affordable" Mach 1 drivetrain for swapping.
you dont think i would get $4,000 for motor, trans, and rearend?
I thought you were KEEPING the motor! :hick:
You'd definitely get more then $4000 for everything.
Don't forget the C-pillars/glass are worth big $$$, and the side scoops too. The engine/trans/wiring as a unit will fetch from $2000-$4000 on evilbay depending on mileage and whether or not it runs.
The front suspension/brakes and rear-end/brakes will also bring good $$$.
If you get it I call dibs on the springs :hick:
It's not IRS is it?
I don't see how the engine could be undamaged.
Manual trans = forged crank.
That'll cost you a pretty penny to get from a recycler. Take a look at car-part.com if you don't believe me.
Mach 1 <> IRS
Cobra = IRS
ok, you started it! :evilgrin:
i want the lower air dam. what i can see of it in the pic looks undamaged even though the bumper cover is split.
for $4k, if you can front the money, id say you will make a profit on the deal.
Someone here put one on a cougarbird....it looked to fit perfect from the pics.
It fits perfect on a Crown Vic nose as well ;)
I'd be interested in the motor/trans, but I'm spending my money on college :(
Might be seriously interested in the brakes though...
i would have to call DIBS on the seats and possibly some odds and ends. spoiler maybe. possibly the upper shaker if its not fubar. it looks okay. 3rd brake light. rear quarter glass. take a look at that exhaust under that thing as i could be interested as well as any other mods.... if you have the cash you would be nuts not to buy it. id offer 3500 and go from there. id kill for a deal like that. id scoop that up andswap everything into an 88 sport with a tcoupe nose.
you wouldnt want anything to do with that pos dog...
I would love to see that chin spoiler on our cars...anyone have a pic or a photoshop to see what it would look like.
4K is a good price...might even worth putting it back together and make a profit.....or just part it out.
Hey, I admitted I was wrong on some of the 4.6's :hick:
hang on, ive got one
this (http://"http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=9425&highlight=SVO+hood") is the only one ive seen. looks good, and should function better.
alright, beat me too it. those are the pics i was looking for.
i can still beat you up on it a little though cant i?:shakeass:
That was the one I was thinking of ;)
I may just break down and order one aftermarket.
i went to look at the car today. it has a borla catback, k&n replacement filter, and a MGW shifter.
im picking it up tonight, when my friend's available with his trailer. only things i plan on keeping are the fubarred hood and scoop for the thunderbird. everything, and i mean EVERYTHING else will be parted out. lots of good parts on this car.
it's here! :shakeass:
the hood was trashed, so i cut out the center section, and hope to glass it onto my stock and use the shaker scoop. oughtta look pretty cool.
dude! well ill have to work on coming up with some cash. how much would you be willing to let the seats go for? ive been having a hard time finding some cheap enough to be able to recover them to match my interior. id love to find a clean 88 tbird swap car and swap everything into that. im jelous it.
, wish i was in a position to buy something as well... looking forward to seeing how the hood works out though.
When you get to the suspension/brakes, shoot me an email/PM, seriously. When you come up with a price for the engine/trans/wiring, let me know also. Probably out of my field, but I do know several Crown Vic guys with money to burn, I can help spread the word.
im thinking $5200 for motor/ trans w MGW shifter/ wiring/ computer. $700 for complete brakes w/ spindles. $900 for front and rear seats. these are just asking prices. it'll be another week before i can sawzaw my way to the motor and get it out.
PM me a price on the chin spoiler, please.
its fuct
pics? how badly? missing pieces? i might could repair it.....
How much fer the front & rear springs? Shipped to Canada (Nova Scotia, postal code B0N 2L0)?
i have a guy coming by tomorrow that may buy the springs, struts, and shocks. ill let you know if it falls through. i would imagine shipping is gonna be kinda high, due to the weight.
Awesome score !! I see a LOT of cars at the boneyards around here,but never anything that I'd call THAT significant.Sweet find.I just bought a Mach 1 chin spoiler (NIB Genuine Ford part) from Ebay for $99.00.Anyway,that was for the guys wanting a spoiler.Are you selling the shifter handle seperately/I could use that.
it has a mgw shifter. it also came with a stock one, if that's what you want.
Stock would be perfect.How much?PM me with some info.Thanks a lot !!!!
ill try to locate it again tomorrow. im sadly beat. i spent all day today with a friend gutting this thing. there are a few more parts i need to pull, but at least i was able to get the motor and trans out. i went through 4 sawzaw blades!
This is quite possibly a really stupid question, but is the center section of that rear end aluminum? And if so, when did Ford start doing that?!?
...Also, did the guy buy the springs?
No hurry,You know where to find me.
center is cast iron, with an aluminum cover.
he wants to come by tomorrow for the springs.
When he does, be sure to tell him that he SUCKS :beatyoass:
Uh...Please, make a thread in the Classified section....
No selling in the Lounge.
