im going to pic it up today and the body is in good shape no rust at all not now nor was there ever . the only flaw is on the drivers front fender where the guys son hit a mail box . i just read about the car and found out it has heated seats , i havnt checked yet but i was wondering if this is true , i have never seen that on a cougar .

ps my previous cougars were a jet black 88 xr7 with red leather and a baby blue 87 ls v6 .

The 87 EVTM has a diagram for heated seats.
The switches should be on the center console.

thanks
