T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / 1987 Mercury Cougar 20th Anniversary $1000 [Sold]
Hi

I posted this a few months ago, but my ad dropped off the bottom (deleted?), so I'm relisting.  If it was deleted due to a policy violation rather than age I apologize will correct it or delete the post if it's an issue.

I'm selling my 1987 Cougar 20th Anniversary edition.  The craigslist ad is here and includes more photos: https://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/cto/d/1987-mercury-cougar-20th/6662931132.html

I'm moving soon and won't have a place for it, so make an offer.  I'm located in Dearborn, MI.

EDIT:  Not in the craigslist ad, but also comes with a set of Mustang GT spindles for the front brake upgrade.
EDIT:  Wow, I just discovered how to show more threads and found that my previous ad did not "drop off the bottom".  Apologies for the duplicate.

T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / 1987 Mercury Cougar 20th Anniversary

More photos in the craigslist ad.

I've decided to let go of my Cougar. It's a pretty clean little car, about 101k miles. The 20th anniversary edition has a lot of gee whiz gizmos in the interior and by and large most of them still work. The coolcats website has a pretty good writeup on this model.

Recent work includes:
- New brakes front and back
- Recent alignment
- Cooper tires with only a few thousand miles on them.
- Moonroof seal was replaced
- Coolant flushed
- New struts and strut mounts
- Dual exhaust with H pipe sounds very nice.

Anniversary floor mats and a car cover are included.

We slid into a ditch earlier in the year and I busted the rear axle and a rim. Fortunately that was all that got damaged. The forum member 87ThunderbirdBlackJack sold me the 8.8" 3.55 posi rear end that's now in the back of the car and I found a replacement turbine rim from a Mustang. The only thing downside is a couple of the center caps are damaged.

Here's the ad. Let me know you're from the forum when you call and I'll be nice :)

Located in Dearborn, MI. Phone number is on the CL ad, that's the best way to get in contact.

T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars WANTED / [Found] Looking for a rear end for my 87 Cougar
My Cougar went into the ditch last weekend and it has at a minimum snapped one of my axle shafts. I'm looking for a replacement rear end. If you've got positrack or a Turbo Coupe rear end with disc brakes, even better. My Cougar's the 20th anniversary model with the quad shocks, I imagine it's the same on the XR7.

The car is at my mechanic's shop right now and I'm going to be out of town for about 3 weeks for work, so this would have to be a local sale (Detroit/Dearborn area) where either my mechanic picks it up or you deliver. (I know it's weird, but I didn't pick the timing).

If you've got any leads, PM me or give me a call: (eight 4 seven)-924-3286.

Body/Appearance/Interior / 20Th anny seat fabric close match
Just wanted to chime in that I'm following this thread, as I'm looking to get the driver's seat reupholstered on my 20th. I can't wait to hear how it turns out.

Option D does look good from here, but that's nothing like seeing it in person.
