Title: 1987 Cougar XR-7, 9K miles
Post by: xjeffs on June 27, 2007, 10:34:52 AM
I found this car in the middle of Indiana.  The dealer sold it to the guy and just got it back from him.  It's sitting on their show room floor.  Black and silver with red cloth interior.  They have not decided on a price or whether they are going to sell it.

and TC Seats....  interesting, I also thought that front bumper style only came with that special black cat edition but what do I know.  The Car looks pure wish I could get my hands on it * CRIES *.

Interesting tho how everything is correct for the AOD parts with full consule, the full digital dash has the gears blocked and the lighter panel where normally in the TC the warning lights would be is pure black :S.  * Wants that full digital Dash * Also those seats * * mostly the whole car *

The engine looks brand new too lol, looks like a diffrent top piece then my 86 tho :S..

Those are XR-7 parts. From what I've been told, all '87 XR-7s should have had only the sport steering wheel. In some of the '88 XR-7s, the leather-wrapped LS wheel was installed. My '88 XR-7 was a late-built car and it had the LS style steering wheel, not the sport steering wheel. It was also missing the glove box lights, but that's not relevant.

Also, look at the material used on the seats. Notice that's is more of a velvet type fabric, rather than the perforated style fabric used in the Turbo Coupes.
That car is all original.

You are correct. All '87-'88 XR-7's came with the Sport Steering Wheel as standard equipement.  But if you checked the leather wrapped wheel option box, you would get the LS style wheel instead.
BTW, the Sport Wheel was not available on the Cougar LS at all.

Very nice looking car.

Wow, reserve not met at $6200.  I'm pretty sure they didn't give that much on trade in.

Wow come ON. im surprised that the bid got to $6k. Guess it says something though...there are certainly some people out there that like these things. I sure would like to know how many out there keep em up like we do and just arent on a forum or something.

If you look at my first post, it's dated in June.  I called when I first saw the ad and the guy I talked to was surprised I saw the ad because it arrived only a few days before, IN JUNE!!!!

That kills me.  "you'll have to provide your own financing" and he wants $12k.  If I had $12k I would not be shopping for an 87 Cougar.
