Another Craigslist flunkie...
Hopeful thinking, but the only way anyone could pull that off is with a huge, non-profit collective - and it's not going to happen. It takes too much money just to drag survivor cars out of wherever they are (IF you can find them cheap enough), much less store them on concrete for future restoration efforts. There's very little that's profitable about old cars (in general) other than parting out - that's one of the reasons you hardly ever find an old-car dealer with fair prices (or, for that matter, honest).
All the decent 4-doors will get stripped for parts too. As a more-door preservationist, this practice annoys the living hell out of me :banghead: Heck, it took more effort to find these two in decent shape than to find comparable, 2-door counterparts.
All the Mopar parts schmucks out there keep trying to sell me 2-door-specific parts (as 4-door parts) that won't fit on them either. At this point, I won't buy a part unless the part number is stamped on it, or the seller can provide information as to the donor vehicle.
Ok, back to the 4x4 Cougar...
