so am i hearing this right, a dent a bit of rust makes a cougar  near worthless despite thousands of dollars worth of other work that has been done to it?

when you rebuilt the engine, did you use ho parts? Is it still injected or is it carbed?
Does it have surface rust or are there holes? Is it inspected? Mileage on body?

That information will make it easier to put a value on the car.

If you really want to see what it's worth at a particular point in time, then put it on evilbay. If you don't want to sell it, then put a big reserve on it and just see where the bidding goes. I can tell you're not liking what the guys are telling you. In their defense, you asked for their opinions, so you're getting them. Toss it on evilbay for a week, see how high it gets, then come back on here and tell everyone they were wrong (or right). Either way, good luck with the car. I'm not in the market, but it looks pretty sharp to me!

What we said was in our particular market in this economy  :D
 
 The car looks and sounds nice but there is not a huge market for 20+ yr old Cougars here in East TN  and anything with any rust at all is avoided like the plague here . In your neck of the woods it may be different  , Of course our cars are niche vehicles you have to find a buyer who appreciates them.



 Bottom line is its worth what someone will give you for it

 FLSTCI71 has a good idea ....try ebay with a high reserve

 I hope you get a big pile of money for it personally :D

Well, i have to say youu guys thats threw out the low numbers, thank you! I got a hair across my ass today and decided to tackle the heater core.  2 hours and she was out.  tomorrow ill get the new one and get some heat back in the car.

i saw that one, when you add it to your cart it goes all screwy.  RockAuto.com com has them but it says without corning light.  I wonder if its the same otherwise?
