Yep, I gave in. I just don't have the time nor the money to do it.

It is a 1985 Cougar XR7, I had planned to swap a V8 in and didn't end up getting very far. The car has 86K on the body (as far as I know), I seem to have misplaced the title though:punchballs:. As far as the car goes it has a little surface rust and two rust holes I have somewhat cleaned up that need to be patched. The drivers front fender is a bit rotten and needs replacing. As far as what goes with the car here is a quick list.
E6SE heads
pushrods
flexplate
starter
mostly complete gasket set
exhaust manifolds
302 torn down to a bare block with the full assembly (Just needs honed and bearings)
2 sets of Head light buckets
1 Grille
Extra header panel Cougar emblem
Taillights and one extra lens
Mustang 5.0 driveshaft
1 set of 8 hole Wheels (Thunderbird style) on the car and two extra that are separate
V8 Radiator
Full serpintine system (I think)
Fan

I really don't want to get rid of it but I need to. I cannot afford to rebuild the car the way I wanted and really don't have enough time to even get it running. I want the car to go to someone who cares as much as I do.

The car is located in Tripoli, Iowa and I am really wanting to get $600 if at all possible but make a reasonable offer if you wish.

If it doesn't sell it will more than likely be parted out. Please, someone buy it though.

Thanks for looking!

This is a hard one. Not as many money parts there, and cars dont move fast around here.

Money is the motive. Do what you have to. The interior should bring good money.

I decided that parting out is the drection to go, at least in that case I can help some of you out and I can get my money out of it. If anyone has any sort of insight into what is involved in getting shipping quotes and the sort I can start pulling parts and get the process moving.

Thanks fellas!

Okay so I haven't really thought about prices. It really relies on how much shipping would be and I'm not 100% on how to figure that out yet. I will begin pulling it apart today and will write out a list of who is interested in what. The car (As I said) has 86K on it so most everything is in pretty good shape.

Hcor- IIRC the buckles and their plastic are in good shape along with the outside mirrors, we will figure out a price as soon as I can.

Hypostang- Thanks, I will try talking to Vin about it.

Ether- They are Marchals

85Cougar- I will pull the header panel hopefully today and I will try to hash out a price for you.

I know someone had wanted the dash, I will pull that out as well.

Thanks guys!:D

I'd be interested in the following:

Map pockets
Cigarette lighter
Console lid (if it's not the one that Vinnie is looking for ;-)
Pull handle screw covers

THANKS!
