hey folks I ran across an old friend at work the other night and he asked me if I wanted another cougar. which would be fine if I had a cougar to begin with. ok he dont know the difference between cougar and tbird. anyway I said maybe Id have to look at it. to cut it short I went and looked at the car and its not bad. it needs some work to get it going again though. he said they think the fuel injectors are out in it. I was thinking maybe I could get it to see if the motor was in better shape then the one in my car because I have like 4 3.8's sitting around. I went to look and the interior is kind of falling apart youd have to replace the door panels for sure. give it a hell of a scrub job inside looks like its been sitting somewhere close to a gravel road cause theres dust all over in it. theres one crack in the dash that I noticed. I didnt notice any rust on it so if there was any it wasnt bad. its like a blue and grey two tone color. I noticed a few bare wires under the hood which usually arent to bad to replace.i just decided that there were less options on the car then what I have so theres really no since in pulling another car home just to tinker with. thats why my last 2 have went to the salvage yard and the one I just quit driving will be joining them when I get all the parts I need off it.anyway if anyone wants this car let me know in the next couple days the guy said he really has to get it out of there. its got the 3.8 under the hood its automatic Im assuming its the AOD it has the dash from 87-88 in it but its got the body style of the 83-84 so Im guessing its an 85-86. its doesnt run from what I was told but turns over. the body is in great shape so I hate to see it go to waste. so basically whoever wants it has to tow it. but it has a clear title and the guy has the key to it. just let me know and I'll see if I can get a hold of the guy
