Has anyone besides me noticed that the photos are of two different cars?  Note the hood pins on photos 23/24, an the lack there of on all the others, as well as the Ford tag.

I believe it is the same car, but the dates on the pics are 6 years apart.

Uh huh, and the hood pins are on the older (2002) pics.  This would indicate the hood and front clip have been replaced (also noting the poor paint on the front clip in the newer photos)  But, yes, it's got potential.

It's the same car.  You can see on the front valance some scuffs directly under the driver's fog lamp in two pictures, one with and one without the pins.

that would be a good 5.0 swap car if you could get it for $500 or less...

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
