I've got an '87 Cougar for sale in Salina KS....I am asking $700 or best offer for it. It runs great, body is straight, would make a great restoration. I have driven it daily for 6 months never any problems. Interior is not in the greatest of shape. I thought I would throw it up on here and give someone who actually appreciates these cars a chance to buy it before I list it locally and sell it to someone who will drive it til it dies!! I am gonna list it here for a week then list it locally. Anybody interested let me know!
It's a 5.0, am I correct?
Ya every 20th was a 5.0
if anyone is interested, i recenly found an interior cloth that matches the 20th interior. Its not the exact stuff but it is very hard to tell them apart.
Why are the less than $1000 cars always 2 states away? :mullet:
Fly out and drive it home!!
Looks to be pretty good shape apart from the missing trim peice and speaker cover. Someone needs to buy this and fix it up.
It's close enough to me that it's feasible, and I'm going to try to.
dig up all threads by jcassity and IIRC, the interior match is in body/appearance. 700 isnt a bad price but thats my opinion. Many cars in that shape pull the same amount.
It would be nice to have an under the hood shot and to see what the seats look like with the covers off.
while u come and get this 87 you should make the half hour drivew and get mine! lol
Here are some pics under the hood and seats...
And of the only rust on the car....above both wheelwells a little and on the passenger side right in front of the door...
Well we had a heck of a storm last night and i got some hail damage and a broken windshield so now I guess the old cougar will have to go to the junkyard.....
don't send it to the jy...i still want it...can you get some pics of the damage for me?
even if it's bad enough to be sped, there's still a lot of usable parts on it...
What is the deal with the gold grille? Did some dealers have some of the grilles gold plated with that electro-plate stuff or is this a New York car show car?
Unless the car got completly effed up by a tree falling on it that aint no reason to s it. Some hail damage and a busted windsheild does not equate s. I realize to some people these cars aint worth squat but come on at least part it out, I mean theres parts on there that are an absolute PITA to find simply because its a 20th anny. Sorry for the rant, Ive had a couple beers today and I'm gettin tired of seeing cars sped just because.
FordTruckFreek I hope you get this car and save it.
hell if i had a way id be taking that in a heart beat. also if any one needs i do have a windshield that should fit off of my 84.
I would love to part it out but I don't have the time to take the parts off, package them for shipping and all that goes along with that. I am willing to sell the entire car for $250. I am confident the car is in good enough shape to drive anywhere, albeit with a cracked windshield. So if anyone as anywhere near here they are welcome to come and drive it or trailer it home and part it out or restore it or do whatever with it. It has a solid 5.0 in it...never gave me any problems. That being said, I am going to be advertising it in the local shopper here next week and see if I can sell it before I junk it!! I really like these cars and know that they are rare..I wish I had the time and skills to restore it because I think they are awesome looking cars...but I don't! So anybody that is interested let me know! Thanks.
To be honest I dont blame you for not wanting to part it out, I mean I usually try to sell cars whole because I dont feel like messing with all packaging and shipping either. Hopefully someone buys it off of you and is able make good use of it.
I just looked it up, you are nine hours away from me. If you weren't so far away I would buy that car in a heartbeat. I'm actually looking for a decent cougar or thunderbird with nice interior parts. I also think that $250 is WAY too cheap!
Well the old 20th Anniversary couldn't be saved....its going to the junkyard on Monday....
The Cougar lives on....I sold it to a kid who is buying his first car and he seems to want to take care of it.....so it will not be crushed.....not right now anyway!!! Thanks to all of you who expressed interest in buying the car and saving it....
