Went to look at a '70 Cougar today, from CL saying it was sitting in a garage for 20years, runs, body rough....$900. I figured I could work a rough car to a daily driver, I've done some bad cars with success....really wanted it, a new project and finally a '70! (knowing I'll prolly never see my first one).
Whoa! Rough was an understatement, roof creased from storing things on it, very baseline, no front seats, and a mismatching front clip, accident? None of the chrome looked good. Vinyl roof and trim gone, and worst of all.....both A pillars rusted so bad, I don't think they are fixable...maybe a talented pro, but certainly not me....I don't mind taking on, and taking the time to bring back a rough car, but unfortunately I don't think this car has a chance...very sad. So I'm still looking...

Sometimes it is best just to play taps, and send it to the crusher.

Did you manage to get the VIN for the database?

 

[haw_y_n_merc]

No, sorry, did not get vin...do we document vin's even if not ours, or going to rubbish? I did not know....I will in future if that's how it works, but I need to know where and how....Andy

Owned, for sale, abandoned, junkers, cars found in wrecking yards etc. All classic Cougars, dead or alive.
All 1967-73 VIN's with all door data plate information, plus any and all information from the body buck tags (Dearborn cars only) and options on car.

OK, will be more aware and document any I see...Thanks
