Might part my 88..Cougar..

I have made plans to remove the drivetrain and all related parts, rebuild the motor to H.O and beyond specs and transplant it into my 89 Mustang.

I  already have all the front accessories removed from the motor and I am getting it ready to be removed.

I am now looking to possibly part the car.



Does anybody need parts?

List what you may want or need, I'll tell you if those parts are worth buying.

I know that many of you are cursing my name right now but between all my other items on the burners and the condition of the car (it's fair, but would need far more then what I am honestly willing to put into it) this is the direction that I feel I need to go.

I will not be looking to make a fortune here and I will remember the help that some of you have extended to me when I was looking for parts. I'd just like to help out my funds a lil for the rebuild/swap project.

 If anybody somewhat local to me (Asheville, NC) would be interested in the rolling chasis before it gets plucked apart let me know. If not, I'll gut it and to the s yard it will prob go to make a few more extra bucks.

Are you keeping the engine harness? Most usually people use the engine harness form the transplant car. If not I need the harness! The injector harness won't help me as I'm not using an H.O. motor. Please let me know.

If the fuel lines are complete and uncut I'd sure like to know what you'd want for them. Thanks! :D

Leather-wrapped steering wheel by any chance? If so is it in good shape and not cracked and sun-baked?

Exterior- Grey...Paint is shot... Very little rust..
Interior- Grey... Needs a cleaning but I'd rate it a 6-7 outta 10. Lots of decent parts.

I can try to get some pics.

Outer markers are a lil hazed but would clean up. I spent like 5 mins on them with some walmart cleaner and that made a drastic difference.

 The tails both have small cracked areas. Not useable really.

Are you refering to the orange side marker lights at the headlights or the fender trim lights?
