The time has come to sell my Cougar. I have owned it for 4.5 years and have put a lot of time and money into the car. Now that I am living in a different state with limited garage space and in graduate school, I no longer have the space or time that this car deserves. I have put an average of 1,200 miles a year on the car including a 1,300 mile trip to Indiana and back. I have gone through and repaired, replaced, or upgraded nearly every aspect of the car since buying it in 2006. I have a stack of receipts totaling nearly $8,000 not including the rebuilt transmission or upgraded drive shaft.

If you have taken the time to review the work log linked above you will understand the amount of time, effort, and money that has been invested in this unique car. The engine, transmission, driveline, suspension, and interior have all been gone through during the past 5,200 miles. The car drives and performs very well and has been proven reliable on multiple long trips. The car currently has 119,444 miles on it. I have a clean Nebraska title ready to be transferred.
The last area that would potentially need to be addressed is the paint and body. While the car looks quite good, there are some issues and flaws to be corrected. The car is very solid overall and clean on the underside. The right side rear quarter panel was replaced at some point prior to my ownership and has a couple small rust areas on it. They are not major issues and could easily be corrected with proper body work. I would be happy to further describe the car and what I feel it still needs. If there is something you want to see that was not covered or pictured in the work log, please let me know. I have over 800 photos of the car covering nearly every aspect of it.
$5,995 <---> Lincoln, Nebraska
If someone really wanted a 5-Speed car, I would entertain offers on the car without the transmission & drive shaft. Otherwise it is being sold as is. I will not remove parts and sell them individually.
