XR7 still for sale

1988 Cougar XR7 still for sale

this car is still for sale

very sorry for your loss.  if i had a garage to keep that beauty in, i would jump on it.

It's getting ready to to be put outside this month as soon as I pick up a 1968 cougar just hate to see it go to waste

Sad to see a 43,000 mile 1988 XR7 go to waste but if this was a Foxbody Mustang it would have sold days after I put it up for sale unfortunately the Fox Cougars and Thunderbirds aren't worth a dime even to the people that pretend to like them

There aren't enough of us around the country. I think one or two people are in IN, but I am not sure.
Realize that someone interested must drive/fly to your location physically, inspect the car, test drive it, pay, and then drive or trailer it home. Now we're into the messy part of the year which can make logistics a total coin toss.
I personally don't think your ask is way out of line. Everyone on here has at least one Fox Thundercat, and many of us would love another, many also would not. Others can't or don't wish to make it happen at this point in time.

Definitely not an easy car to sell. High performance upgrades help, but the masses look at the added weight and say "well I'd rather put all that in a Mustang and run another half-second or better quicker in the 1/4". Bleh.

I sell it for 2500 without the wheels and drivetrain so someone would get a 43,000 original miles car with no engine transmission rear end or wheels but a clean title

I agree totally.  I personally am in the market I think for another, want a car I can show and have people envious of.  I'd love it if it did what my mustang can do.  If I can do the 1/4 mile great, and if it takes a 1/2 second longer but I do it in total luxury then even better.  I don't personally know the exact cost you want but I have looked at a few that always seem to have one thing or another wrong with it.  This is by far one of the nicest I've seen but due to weather concerns right now I wouldn't subject such a car to the highway right now for any reason.  It just isn't right.  That's just me.  Keep the non rusted ones salt free.  You said it yourself in your first post, a good summer toy.
 

Don't do that to a perfectly good car.  Would totally be a crime to do such a thing to such a beautiful car.  Most that probably look at it have no idea exactly what the car was before and what you did to make it what it is today.  Put it in storage for the winter and try it again this spring when people who are serious are in the market.

That just my 2 cents worth.

lol this car and highway speeds don't go together with 4.56 gears

Couldn't be worse than the mustang I had in high school with the 302/C4 and 4.10 gears, lol. I took that on the highway a couple times, heh. Hey, at least I didn't need my brakes when the exit came up! Just let of the gas and let it scream down. Ahh good times when gas was cheap.

fastfzr1 - Thanks for talking with me the other day.  I have a few questions about the car.

Can you share again what you've done with the motor?  I think in one part of the conversation you had talked about some performance upgrades, but the pics you sent looked like a bone stock 302 HO, with the exception of painting the intake blue.  Can you confirm what the car has right now?

Is the motor the one that's original to the car, or has it been replaced with another?
 
It looks like the original air conditioning has been removed and that you've replaced the brackets for the alternator and power steering.  Do you have the original brackets and A/C?  Was this removed because you had problems with the system, or for weight or some other reason?

What exhaust is on the car?  You sent me pics of both sides of the gas tank, and there aren't any pipes there.  Does it dump in front of the rear axle or something?

Thanks again -

Geoff

I was sending you pics of the rear quarter panels but yes the 10 series flowmaster lers dump before the diff. I am not the person who has need for A/C, smog, or P/S. I have a stock S.O. upper and lower as well as a H.O. and Explorer set up. It has 3 T.B's also well here is a screen shot with info

Well guess it wouldn't let me load from my phone guess that's why ad said call

I explained everything on the phone and that's why the ad says call with questions but it was in the 50's here Sunday so I pulled the car out to go cruisin
