1988 8.8 Cougar XR-7 Rear - NJ - $50

The remnants of Sick88Tbird's parts car are ready to go to the crusher. I hate to throw away a good 8.8 rear, so if anybody wants to come get it, let me know. It has 3.08's in it, and I "may" have a set of 3.55's to throw in. I know how much trouble I had finding my Cougar XR-7 8.8 rear, so this could be a good deal for someone. The catch is, you have to take the rest of the car with it! For me to s the car, I need the rear in it to get it on and off the flatbed or trailer. Once I have it loaded, the whole thing is going right to the crusher, I'm not taking the rear out at that point. :toilet:

If anyone else wants to get a good rear for a great price, let me or Sick88Tbird know. Remember, you'll have to come get the car yourself. I'm hoping to be loading the car onto the truck this Sunday, so you have to move fast! By the way, the $50 goes to Sick88Tbird, not me. Car is in Sicklerville, NJ RIGHT off the AC Expressway, and not far from the old Berlin Circle.

Rear. Carpet. Headliner, interior trim panels (not door panels), glass, dash (minus trim panels & gauge cluster)... that's about it. Three trips over the bridge to rip parts out is enough for me. I was thinking of taking all the panels and glass, but I'm out of storage space. My itsy bitsy garage is packed full! It's an adventure just to climb over everything and get to my toolbox! I can't even remember what my workbench looks like. I just want to get the rest of the car out of Don's driveway and off to the wrecker.

Of course, you have PLENTY of room in your garage for the rest of the car, right Bob?  :D

UPDATE

Just got confirmation from the junkman. He's picking up the car at 11am Sunday morning. If anybody wants it, you have to get there by Saturday!
