87 or 88 Sport or XR-7 Wanted!!!

Looking for a 1987 or 88 Thunderbird Sport OR Cougar XR-7. I am in Tucson, AZ, so the closer the better. Obviously must be running, and have all Smog Equipment on it....oh...Title would help.

I have an 87 Thunderbird Turbo (Yes, it runs good everyday)I would be willing to give up in a trade deal for one of these cars. Here are the pics:

IF, and that's the key, IF someone would trade an 87-88 Sport or XR-7 for it. And I seriously doubt anyone will do that.

Deep down I've always known those were the cars I've wanted. The V8 Power with the Handling and interior of a Turbo....I've just never been patient enough to find one of them.

The offer stands.

Well, I can't deny the fact I do want a HO.

The thing is, I would have been content with the Power of the S.O. V8 in my Brown T-bird, if it weren't for the fact that I was in constant paranoia of it dying out on me. When I bought it, I was hoping that brown car was a Sport, but it wasn't, so I settled for the fact that it still had a V8. Now after going back to the Turbo, my perspective is now complete, and I know what I want.

Yes, I've owned two Turbo's and one V8. I firmly believe that with a Sport Model or XR-7, I would finally have the car I've been wanting. I love the Turbo Interior, and would get that, and I was pleased (When it wasn't dying) with the SO v8 engine. Both cars have it. Plus Dual Exhaust, which I've never had. 

Anyway, surely someone out there has a Sport or XR-7 they would be willing to trade for. Aerobird, you have any lying around?

I hate to say it...but why not just put a 5.0 in that car.  Sell off the 2.3T drivetrain to help offset the costs?

Whatever.  I'll just start calling you "Burger Boy" for as much "flipping" as you do.

maybe alot of time and money, but in the end youd have the EXACT car you want, and you wouldn't have to worry about buying another bunch of problems with a different car

I have a Sport that may or may not have rust problems. White on blue cloth, nearly every option. I'll took a REALLY good look at it if you're serious. I'd be willing to work out some sort of trade deal. It even has an 8.8 and TC sway bars. The interior is MINT. Crack free dash, perfect headliner, everything works. PM me or something...

Hah, I remember when you were getting ready to go get this car, you told us to never let you change your mind and get rid of it.  So... don't... I guess.

So I'm guessing you're taking us all for fools when you say it runs good everyday?  Its not like less than a month ago you posted all about issues with the brakes.
