Title: 88 cougar XR7 62xxx miles needs trans
Post by: HOTROD on July 22, 2005, 08:06:50 PM
The trans. just started slipping on the way home from work tonight pretty badly.  I am so disgusted with this right now I want it gone.  It is red with a red cloth interior. 5.0.  It has surface rust under the rear moldings, and some damage on the pass door and quarter below the moulding in front of the rear wheel. Thats the bad.  The good is it has 4 brand new tires, new brakes and a fresh alignment, and brand new KYB struts and shocks. The seats and interior plastic are very clean. The carpet has some dirty spots.  Everything but the cruise works. A/C blows cold.  all in all it a very clean and presentable car.  I'm asking $2200. for it.  I'm in IL.    You can email me at  hallun1@hotmail.com  Thanks.  Dan.        P.S.  I have a disc brake 8.8 rear end out of a 5 speed  t- coupe that also can be bought for it.

Did he say 2200 with a blown trans and lots of rust?????????????????
or did he say 220.00 which would sound much more reasonable due to the fact that brakes,shocks and tires are way cheap if you know the right people.
Just curious?

HOTROD,
I might be interested in the 8.8 TC rear you've got.  Where do you live in IL and what are you asking?  Thanks for the info.

 I did not say lots of rust. Yours may be a rust bucket, but this has minimal SURFACE rust.  No holes, nothing major.  As for tires, struts, and shocks being cheap, I couldn't find everyting for $220.00 brand new. Kudos to you if you can. I want $2200.00 for it. It's a nice car.  As far as the disc rear axle,  Im selling it to a friend if the car goes without it.  Thanks for the interest.

Well good luck with that,but you won't get it so your car may sit for years and years,O-WELL.
As for my 87 TC with only 86000 km's(yes that's KM's not MILE's)being a rust bucket,i don't know about you but this sure looks rust free to me.
