Okay, you are golden again. My daughter's "cool" car is a green 4.6L 96 Stang too. She totally loves it, so I am sure you will be very happy with yours. Good luck and congrats on the new purchase!

Jerry, yep, that would be the one. She really loves the 4.6, so the swap was worth it. The 3.8 is for sale if you need one. LOL.

Yes, we did swap in a 4.6L. If I had a dollar for every time someone asked why we didn't just buy a 96 GT.... Basically, the car was my daughter's high school graduation present, was a convertible, had 70K on it, was stored winters its whole life and she totally loved it. So, rather than try to find a similar condition GT and then try to sell her baby, I scored a low mileage 96 GT motor and did the swap. It was all worthwhile because she is very happy and will never sell "MY96KIX".

****, just getting out of work now, hate my job!,, anyways, im a litle weary of the leak from the power steering i was showing my mechanic here at work the picture of under the car and he says those things where known for bad steering racks,he said to fix it it be close to 500 bucks for a new rack , plus putting it in. and he said its going to need a new alternator i reccal u telling me that the charging problem you had fixed so did my girlfriend,,  i also noticed you put up your cougar for sale?(i mean u u get rid of all these cars a regular thing
? whats goin on man, im gettin litle worried is there something bout the car i should know? i mean i don want to pull out of the deal i made with you by any means but im getting a litle worried,
the car has a few nice fetures but with all the work it needs beetween exhaust steering rack alternator, getting the rust spots fixed, finishing off the turbo set up properly, its starting to seem a bit much for 3000$ and i have no way of even knowing if the block had anything actually done to it , for all i know that bottom end still has 275 kliks
i wanna buy the car from you but now that i sum it all up its starting to seem a bit much to hi priced, honestly i think something more like 2600 $ is fair plus saftey cost. let me know asap man ,


and here is my response....:

Quote from: RJ
LMAO...  The rack is $200 brand new and on these they are EASY to change...  done them before...  My dad is a Class A Mechanic and has been one for 30 years, and I have owner these kinds of cars since I was driving...  dont believe me that work was done, contact the previous owner.... as I told you I have reciepts in the back of the front seat of the majority of the work...  I paid $4500 for the car plus the $750 stereo system...  you come down here, I let you BEAT on the car TWICE.. including bouncing it off the rev limiter twice in first gear each time you took it out and now you are trying to jew me down even more?  Get real man.  The only reasaon I even considered dropping to $3000 this week is becuase I found a Stang I wanted...
 I have no interest in selling the Cougar, I was just bored and wanted to see what I would get offered... but I would let it go for the $4000 asking price.
guess you arent serious about the deal...
I never once said the charging system was fixed....  and now that I think about it I know it is just the battery...  I had the guy that built the car send you an email....  and yes I do build these cars myself then sell them and buy and build something else to keep me occupied...  I have had over 30 Cougars and 15 thnderbirds since I was 19...

I let you crank the boost to "check on something....."  and everything checked out, so what is your concern? If I was trying to hide something would I have let you crank up the boost and fuel pressure or let you drive for that matter?  this car is worth MORE then the $3500 Im asking, and if you arent interested in it then I will yank the motor and swap in a 5.0L

Let me guess this check is garbage too isnt it?
