Oldraven your dad is correct the sprint came with a 4bl carb/intake setup its rare I have everything but some linkage to change my car over to 4bl If I want to go down the road.
So Im not that upset about it I have alot of other stuff to monkey around with. Need less to say the wife wasnt abit up set when I didnt come home with another car LOL.
I will keep you guys updated on my 408 build here are a few pic's off the port work.
Welp so much for that cat, Back on the hunt the nerve of some people. I went to get the car cash in hand the guy says I have other people that are looking at and Im asking $4,000 for it now!! I mite of paid 4k for but I aint playin no games ten years ago I would knocked his lights out but I have a little more control now days. So I will keep looking something will come along untill then back to my 408 stroker build for my 67 cat. As I was driving home I was thinking this jerk never heard of ebay if he wants people bidding on a car. I dont think I would deal with him if called me and said I will take the 3k for it.
Been looking around got some really nice cats and birds on here. Like I said in the start of the thread I have had 5 cougar three 87's one 88 and a 79 xr7 + the 67 I own now. So its six total over the years first time I see the 87 xr7 I fell in love with it and told my girl at the time that is now the wife that will be a hotrod/collector car some day she said ya think All I could SAY ITS shagY Im pumped on getting another one cant wait till tomorrow :)
Tempest Its my favorite one it was a one owner ladys car has 69,000 org miles last time it had plates registerd to it was 1980 its truly unmolested barn find. Still has some org clamps and -bat cable. They are pretty rare most got cloned like my red one was when I got it. Only thing I did was change the wheels
There Like lays potato chips one isnt enough, I really dont have any room for the cars and extra parts I have now but I cant bring my self to lets this pass by. I look all the time and there getting few and far between that are in good shape and this one is a cream puff. Pic's to come asap.
Thank you, Been looking around nice site you all have here.Plan is going to get it tomorrow If every thing goes well I will post some pic's when I get it home. I really have NO room for another car but I gotta have it never know when I would find another this clean. Here are some pic's of my other toys
I say Its your car if you like it go for it!! Every one has different taste's styles and this is what makes the car hobby so much fun.If everyone did the samething it would be boring. Thats just my 2 cents worth
Hey guys, Just wanted to say hello and ask if you think 1988 xr7 in near perfect condition with 90k is worth $3,000 black/red buckets floor shift. I'd say it has everything but a sun roof one owner car. I have owned five 87 88 cougars over the years with that said I going to buy it! Just wanted to hear some feed back on the price from other cat lovers.
