    Default My 85 XR-7 turbo

    I bought this car last year from the original owner car is loaded with the following options, pwr,windows, pwr mirrors, pwr seat, tilt, cruise, light group, AC, pwr antenna, premium sound, car has 108,000 miles but from the looks of it you cant tell, this is by far one of the cleanest cougars on the planet, I had the bottom painted because the guy lived on a gravel road and it was peppered with stone chips other than that the car is all original and everything works as it should. I have all the original paperwork with the car window sticker, etc etc.

    Congratulations! That's a beutiful car. I'd give it a half point deduction for being a automatic but they're so hard to find these days.....

    I don't think I've ever seen a turbo XR-7 before? That really is a clean car...too bad they didn't offer a stick shift. Otherwise it's amazing. Was leather seating available? Any other options not on this car, or is it fully loaded?
    Cheers!

    Mike,
    There was no XR-7 model in 83 when they re-launched the Cougar. 84-86 you could order the XR-7 and it always came with the same Turbo 4 set up as the Thunderbird TC. 5 Speed was standard on the XR-7 and the Auto cars are very rare actually. Not necessarily more desireable, but rare. Leather could be ordered, and they came pretty loaded, but all the Fox body Birds and Cougars could be Menu ordered with choice options, so lots of odd combos abound.

    There is no minimum post count to sell vehicles, only parts. Check out the guidelines for all the specifics on selling a car here on FEP.

    I hate to sell it, but I could use the money to further my other projects, if I keep it Im going to mod it a little and use it as a daily driver.
