looking for a cougar. need advice. what's this one worth??

You were asking about tranny’s, weren’t you? If you by chance meant transmission, my mistake… :buck:

Its 2013… ask for high rez pics and video to be emailed to you. Ask for shots of the floor pans, rockers, inside the trunk and the trunk drop offs. If it was me, knowing what can happen to cars in Indy, (rust!) I’d also ask to see CLEAR, IN FOCUS pics of the roof and the shock towers.
If you are close enough, I’d just go look at the car…

LMAO, i needed that tranny joke after today :clap: im just wondering how long it took you to find a clean picture after typing tranny into Google images…or did you just happen to have that guy on deck, saved on the computer.

im in fort wayne. ive been driving all over looking for mustangs and i am kinda burned out on dragging a trailer all over just to be let down by some well taken craigslist pictures. ill shoot him an email asking for more pictures before i make a move.

That picture has surfaced here many times. :laughing:

The one in Denver looks like it has a cooked interior. Keep in mind a pair of door panels, dash pad and steering wheel can cost you $1500 and the rest of the interior can add up to $1500 real quick when you are doing things like pulling glass to install a headliner. Go West my friend… For $7500 you can in time find a turn key, rock solid driver for under $8k. Stick around here and you will find guys that will be happy to be your eyes. Patience pays off in this game.

So it will cost $7500 to find one for under $8000? That’s $15,500! :buck:

Must be that west coast math.

Chuckle!

Now if Denver were in the travel range here’s a nice 1970 XR7 http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/3785239113.html
He has many more pics available. The interior is green, but super clean!
