Saw this on the feed. Says he has a parts car too, not sure if all included. I just bought 2 cars this week, so hard pass for me.

Alright, who wants to hold this for me? Preferably for like a year so I can save up $1500. Yeah it's an interest-free loan. Why are you laughing no come back

It’s a good thing that’s far away from me.

Always thought these were cooler than the Mustangs

I did *not* need to see this. Can someone buy it so I don't spend most of my Thanksgiving weekend driving down to Florida and back? I've even got a co-worker heading down there that could look at it for me before I drove down.

So I called the guy, and it's THREE CARS. The one in the pictures ran when parked, has a bad roof and floor pans. There's a second car with a good roof and floor pans included, and then ALSO a third car that's complete other than an engine. He wants $1500 for everything. He said he'd get pictures of the other cars for me today. 

Being in Michigan and only having a single-car trailer, it wouldn't really be practical for me to get all 3, but they're selling them together. Only the one in the picture has a title. I was thinking about *maybe* taking the titled one and the roof/floor pan car, if there was someone else interested in the other one.

Is there a spare engine/trans in the deal?

As fas as I know there isn't, but there are a ton of spare parts, he mentioned at least 4 doors and a bunch of other stuff (plus what's in the pictures). Sounds like his dad bought them all and then found a Mustang, and ended up going in that direction instead, so they're just been sitting.

My first car was a '77 Cougar, so they've always had a special place in my heart. I'd love to pro-touring the E36 M3 out of a first gen like this one.

If they weren't so far away I'd just pick up all 3, but it would be 3 weekends of 36 hours of driving each to pick them all up. I even have room for them all, there's even room to keep 2/3 of them inside. I could get 1 or 2 shipped, but that would require eating into my emergency savings (or is this an emergency?). I'd assume that would be at least $600-$1000 per car.

(I got some quotes and there's at least one coming in around $600, maybe I can actually pull this off. but if someone was interested in the no-engine car or some/all of the parts that come with them, I'd still be very ok having those go to someone else.

I know this is a 69 and is a little different, but I will still put his here for some motivation:

The ad is showing as sold now, so either someone appeared out of nowhere, or he thinks I'm for sure buying them. I guess I'll find out if I get those pictures later today or not.

I had a 68 Cougar like that.  Same color, same vinyl roof.  I liked that car.  It rusted away....

Listed 35 weeks ago?  Was the price recently dropped?
