i work at a local gas station pumping gas(when the other pumpers not there) and doing some things on cars the other half day. well today i heard the bell/chime thing that goes off when a car pulls up. i look out to see a flatbed tow truck with a cougar on the back. and my heart sank:flame: , it took a pretty good front and hit, good enough the was no front facia at all, and a good posibility of a bent frame. i asked the truck driver what year is it, and he said 80. which im 100% sure that the car was a 87-88. i assume the last 8 in 88 looked like a 0. (maybe bad handwritting):hick: . it was a ls with a 302 and column shift. my car was parked right near it, and i just looked back and forth between the cars to really comprehend the destruction. but it wouldnt be so back if i see alot of these, so now i've seen one fox cougar(besides mine) on the road, and another really messed up one a flat bed:mad: . i was thinking about trying to buy it for parts, but i really dont need any parts for my car. i might buy it to just resell it for parts, but idk. the rear of the car didnt look bad, maybe i will buy it to sell for parts. anyone in MD need any 87-88 coug stuff if i do decide to get it? i'm not even sure if its for sale, but i would assume the would junk it.
I'd buy it. You can part it out and easyly make it back plus some on EBAY.
I would buy parts, deffently. Cost an are and a leg out at the local junkers here.

If you buy & part it, you'll have better luck selling parts on here than on ebay. I sold the cluster from an '84 TC and it only went for $15.
now i just gotta call around to see how much it is if they are junking it. i got the name of the place its being towed to, i'll try to find the number for it and find out whats the deal with it.
well, idk whats going on with that thing, cus i cant get it, i live with my parents and i got the daily driver cougar, and some piece-o- firebird 2.8l that i never shoulda got:flame:, and it knocks(bad wrist pin i think), so because i have to cars already, i cant get another one taking up space. so, that sucks. for anybody who lives near mt.airy MD. and wants to look into it, the cougar i saw was on a truck that belonged to stups garage, the number is 301-663-6918, so, u can look and see whats going on with it, i didnt bother seeings, the situation im in. :mad:
Sell the firebird. It's worth it for the money. Give the car to a freind, sell/part out the car then get the firebird back if you realy want it.
ive been meaning to fix it, but between work, and all that i havent had the time, and the only motivation to fix it would be to get it out of here, i really dont want it. idk how much i would get for a car that knocks pretty bad, and its a 2.8 liter! that way to small for a car that the fast model had a 5.7. if my math is right, thats less then half. can anybody guess what a 1987 firebird 2.8 liter that knocks, with t-tops, torn up drivers seat, and damage to the left front fender would go for?its a real piece o poopy. and i cant burden a friend with this, i wouldnt want my enemies to have it,well maybe an enemy,but if anyone wants it u can message me, it might be a good project car.
Well, I'll throw a blind guess of give or take $700.
hell, 700, i thinki thatd be a great deal, lets start the bidding at 700, :D i just need time to really fix it, idk how much the pin and nessesary gaskets would cost, but i would do it if i just had time, im too busy
well, whouldnt ya know, all this talk about my firebird finally got me of me arse, and i worked on it some today. not alot, because we're doing work to the house, which is a lil' more important then the firebid, but i managed enough time to drain and remove the radiator, fan, all the plastic intake stuff, and started to remove altinator, so untill next non-work day (sunday), this is how she'll sit.
