Looks pretty dang nice. Too bad its a pale banana puke color.
I am sooooooo tempted to look at that. It's about 15 miles away from me...
The underside pic from the rear made me almost want to cry. Everything so shiny still.
I wonder what that piece of plastic was in the trunk? Looked sorta like it was gas tank related?
Yeah, not a HUGE fan of the color, or the year. I prefer the longer 87-88's, myself.
Not sure what that plastic piece would be.
And Eric, you're welcome....glad I could dangle forbidden fruit in front of you! LOL
Wow, that is an oddly optioned Cougar. Amazingly clean, and I kind of like that yellow.
15 miles away..... doesn't hurt to look. :D
Looks like the only power options are mirrors and antenna. No cruise, AM radio.
It's about as basic as you can get. Wonder why it was never driven.
Vent windows require the power mirrors.
You are correct. My '85 has that mounted on the front of the fuel tank. Odd that it is in the trunk. Maybe it was removed to service the tank and someone forgot to re-install it.
Interesting car. Makes me wonder the reason why it was not driven. Was it intentional or just a fluke?
I saw this car on Autotrader a few weeks ago ... it has been steadily falling in price. I think it has come down somewhere in the neighborhood of $5-7K since I first saw it.
Reminds me of my 83 (in my sig) RIP. Strange to see grey interior in there. Mine had tan/yellow (whatever you call that color) interior.
This is a pure WAG, but perhaps the person who purchased was killed/otherwise incapacitated, and the family "kept it that way for them"?? I had an uncle up in SD that purchased a brand new self-propelled hay swather one fall back in the late 80's. Parked it in his barn for the winter, plastic still over the seat, in antition of putting it to work the following year. That winter, however, as he was raking snow off his roof, he fell off the ladder, and went into a coma. The rest of the family kept that swather JUST the way he left it, until the day he died, over a decade later. "Just in case" he came out of it.
Not saying that's what happened here, but, you just never know!
I'd really like to know the story behind this.
Why are these cars always low option V6 cars and never V8 or Turbo cars?
They on drugs......I still wouldn't give more than $2500 for ANY car that color! lol
You were the first person I thought of when I just saw this thing. 102 miles?!
It's very low-option but nothing like my '84 that had vinyl seats, passenger mirror delete, A/C and V8!
Looks like this car has no rear defrost, either. And... power antenna on AM radio is too much!
No response from Eric, I think he is dealing behind the scenes. :hick:
