1996 Ford Contour Maroon in color. Everything works it just has a blown head gasket. 4Cyl. 5 speed manual with newer clutch. Asking $400 firm, cash and carry. I need the space. Vehicle will drive a short distance before it overheats completely.

I'd love to pick it up as I hate driving the SVT in the winter I just don't want it to rust out. wife says no and I already have to many cars....

sounds like the zetec my neighbor just bought. Turns out it needs a whole engine instead of just a HG.

easy enough, doing a motor swap on a zetec is way nicer than a duratec.

Shoot how many miles on this bad boy, that'd be a good donor car for mine for a MTX swap. :laugh:

doesn't say you'd have to contact the seller

it'd be easier to swap the engine
