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.
Welcome!
I'm sure most would agree that's a good price if it's in as good condition as you say it is.
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
up here in the north. it's a great find for the price i think
Geesh one old car is enough of a PITA but you have 4. Kudos to you:D
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.
i LOVE the Tempest!
Most of those are GTO's now... great car.
Makes me miss my Poncho days...
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
SWEEET!!! .................and it's a post car , even sweeter :D
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 :)
Nice Poncho's! It's cool that you kept the straight six in there. My father owned a '68 Firebird (Sprint in the US) with the 250 HOC. He says it's bar none the biggest fire-breather he's ever owned.
Awesome cars...welcome aboard!
Nice rides man !
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.
Welcome to the site.those are some nice toys you have there.
I dont live to far from you,about 35 miles south of you.
I think I saw the 88 xr7 you're referring to. $3k is on the high side. If it's immaculate, original with no accidents and one previous owner, that's probably not too far off. You could probably still get one like that for $2-2.5k if you're patient. In the end $500 isn't that much to squabble over if you really want it.
Is it this one listed for $3675? He's nuts, he won't get that for it. And it looks like he listed it once before that for $3275. Just tell him you have cash in hand when he's done goofing around.

The heads are sweet trick flow twisted wedge stage1 porting by foxlakeracing.com
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.

Hey Straycats , Its the other guy that posted about the space between 1 and BADBIRD, It doesn't matter to me space or no space . Thanks for the compliments on my TBird . Your windsor sounds like it should be killer .
4.11s are not to much for the street , I am running 4.11s in my TBird with no problems . I am also running 4.30s in my 73 Mercury Montego with a 351Windsor on the street with no problem . Here is a picture of my other two rides . The Montego I have had for 24 years and the 74 AMC Matador I am restoring for my wife . Her father bought it brand new and gave it to us because he knew I would restore it and take care of it .

Nice 1 badbird Both are rare to see the Matador I aint see one of them in years Um and dont remeber them being so cool looking :) Nice color Im green with envy.;)
Thanks Straycats . There is alot of mettalic in the green paint and the gold stripe is painted on under the clear coat .
A friend of mine has the same year Mat. He also took off the front bumper. Makes a big difference in weight and looks.
My bumper is going back on it is being rechromed .
