As many of you guys know, I am active on this board because of a common interest with the T-birds and cougars. Unfortunately, the local counsel has sent me mail saying my car needs to be moved in 10 days today. It's sitting IN my driveway not harming anyone, but someone apparently has nothing else better to do than to complain. Regardless, my car is up for sale and not by choice. It needs bodywork in the rear quarters and needs a new rearend put in, of which I do have a 8.8 Turbocoupe rear for the car. I'm asking $650 for everything including a brand new battery I put in about a week and a half ago. I think that's more than fair for even just a parts car, but the car has a clean illinois title signed over and ready to go. I figured I'd give someone here a chance to save this car. I bought it to save it from the crusher. I really don't want to do that, but I might not have a choice if nobody here grabs it. To reiterate: THIS CAR RUNS AND DRIVES, but it needs the rearend. Here's my listing with everything I'm including and some pictures. If there's anyone local that has a place to help me fix this, I would also be willing to pay for your place and time. I really just don't have a spot for it right now, and I'm out of options. I can't afford a storage spot right now, otherwise I would.

If you're interested, post here and/or PM me (or call me if you're inclined). I've got nothing to hide on this car, obviously it needs work in the right areas. Here's the ad:

Looks like a friend of mine is allowing me to borrow his lift in the next week to put the rear in. We'll see how things go, but that's a start.
