Title: I'm new here: 1990 Cougar XR-7
Post by: CJ Bouma on October 13, 2009, 10:24:36 PM
I've owned this car for about 6 years and drive it 2-3,000 miles per summer. Other than that, it stays in storage.

Nice, Welcome
Is the car originally from the snow belt?

Nice ride!  My brother has an 89 XR7 that's white on blue.  We actually drove to South Carolina to get it so we'd get a rust free car.  If you haven't already, check out sccoa.com and tccoa.com.  SCCoA is the Super Coupe Club of America, and they will be the most helpful when dealing with the supercharged MN-12s.  They actually just held their national event the SC shootout last weekend in Muncie, IN.

In addition to the 83 I recently bought, I also have a 94 V8 Thunderbird.  I must admit, these fox cars are pretty cool, but I love my MN-12!:burnout:

very nice man, I love those rims. Have them on my '96 XR-7.  I made it kind of look like an '89 with the blacked out chrome and grill treatment.

Oh nice, you know they only made 841 of your car right? Glad to see youre preserving it so well. Dont ever let it go, unless its to me.

I know, its an MN12, but I appreciate the rarity of those cars. Plus the numbers the 3.8 SC put out is amazing, out-torquing the 5.0's of the time.
