How much for 20th ann Cougar - needs motor

I have a 20th anniversary Cougar that needs a motor and a paint job that I cannot afford to fix.  It does have a transmission, however.  If selling it as is, how much should I ask for it?

Wow, that's a tough one. In this case, a picture (or many pictures) are worth a thousand words. The car could worth be a few hundred or a few thousand, depending on the condition of the interior, exterior, etc.

Buy an 86-88 for cheap and just throw in the engine and save up for a new paint job, or better yet, find a mustang 5.0 if your not too worried about how original the car is.

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.

Depends on how many miles?  Is it rusted out or not?  Dents, cracks in the dash, seat condition?  Could be $500 or could be $1500

I would guess start at $700 and take the first offer that is around $500.

There is a 20th anny about 15 miles from me that needs a paint job but otherwise is in pretty good shape, the owner of that one is asking $900

Where is this? Depending on where in the country you are has a lot to do with the price of cars.
