1987 3.8 Cougar Saying my farewells to the community.

My girlfriends dad just got a 1999 Plymouth Breeze dropped off at his shop and the person doesn't want it, so I'm getting it for free. It just needs work on the steering rack or something, but other than that it's in brand new condition.

So, my mom said I can't keep my cougar if I get this car, so I said fine, since the Breeze is almost new, and free I don't care.

So, my cougar is up for sale.

Here's the problems with it.

-Tranny leaks(drips on exhaust so it smokes a little when it's really warm outside) I only have to add fluid once a month(1/4 bottle)
Leaks coolant(very little leak)
-Oil leak(very little)
-power steering leak(very little)
-Y-pipe to manifold clamp thingys are rotted so there's an exhaust leak after the pass. manifold.
-Main Cat is gutted, it was clogged.
-Car pulls to the left slightly when braking hard.
-Struts/shocks are old and the ride is rough.
-Pass side door lock cylinder isn't fuctional
-Weather stripping on outside of window is old and broken.
-Passenger door is in bad shape
-Carpet is a little worn out(door carpet is being dyed)
-headliner needs replacing.
-I have new visors but they don't fit because of the 'buldge' of the headliner.
-Body has a little rust, I sanded most of it and bondoed and primed it...Small ding in hood.
-There's concrete on the bottom of the front pass wheel well(don't ask how it got there cause I don't know)
-Bumper needs work.
-Needs a paint job badly
-AC clutch is gone(i think it's the clutch)

The good things
-Dash board is in good condition, painted black, needs touch up on the very top part, can't see it from inside of car(i'll touch it up)
-Door sides are black, good condition, 'carpet' piece on driver door is falling off, metal tabs are broken.
-All lights in dash are good, console has been restored so its almost brand new.
-I will finish the silver speaker covers and vents before I part it, or just give you the paint to do it yourself.

-Engine runs strong for 205886 miles. Has not broken down(only once, ran out of gas and wouldn't start back up cause I killed the battery), stalled out only once in regular driving(once when i ran out of gas)
-Tranny shifts smooth.
-Oil and tranny fluid are no more than 3K miles old.
-Tires are good

I don't care what you do with this car, if you want it, make an offer. It must be picked up from my house.
I'm in the south jersey area.
