Hello, hello September 23, 2013, 11:20:02 AM Greetings. New to the place. Here's some pictures of my ride that I just picked up. 1985 with 16,500 miles. In real great shape. All the leather is in great shape, no wear or cracks. Interior excellent, no tears or fade. Still has factory radio and trip computer and both still work great. Everything on the car works like new. Lucky to have found it. Quote Selected
Hello, hello Reply #2 – September 23, 2013, 11:38:46 AM Welcome! I think that car belonged to a member here from the KC area. Quote Selected

Hello, hello Reply #9 – September 23, 2013, 05:37:55 PM Congratulations on your purchase and welcome!The trip computer was added by one of the previous owners as they weren't originally available on the '85 XR-7's. Not trying to bust your chops or anything, more of an FYI. It's nice to see that it found an enthusiast and sounds like it has a good home. :D Quote Selected
Hello, hello Reply #10 – September 23, 2013, 08:48:24 PM Thanks for the welcomes. It is very possible that it was as I did get in KCMO. Thanks for the FYI. Seems crazy that someone would go to the trouble to put the trip computer in, but it's cool. I had an '84 XR7 with a 5 speed a little over 20 years ago. I liked that car a lot, but someone had to rear end me and totaled it out. But I did get a '68 Cougar XR7 to replace it. It's nice to have another one. It's like goin back in time 23 years!

Hello, hello Reply #11 – September 23, 2013, 09:02:02 PM I reconditioned that tripminder and sold it to the previous owner. I built a plug and play harness for it so no wiring had to be cut and a regular clock can be swapped back in if desired. Quote Selected
Hello, hello Reply #12 – September 24, 2013, 08:40:27 AM Groovie. Nice job on the mod and making the harness. Do you know if the factory equalizer work with all the FM cassette radios or just certain ones? Quote Selected
Hello, hello Reply #13 – September 24, 2013, 09:07:59 AM Do you mean aftermarket radios?That is my brothers old car. It was very very nice. Like Vinnie said, I wanted that interior for my car, but no dice.He bought that tripminder from a member here with the custom harness to make it plug and play. I told him to take it out before he sold it, but oh well.Enjoy the car, it is very nice. We did a full ignition tune up with all Motorcraft parts, I think a new fuel pump also. If you ever have any questions about the car, just get ahold of me here and I will do my best to help. He doesnt get on here much anymore.Please enjoy and take care of the car. Quote Selected
Hello, hello Reply #14 – September 24, 2013, 10:18:20 AM Cool, that's good to know! You all did a nice job on the car. No, not an after market radio, I want to keep the stock radio since it works well, but a factory Ford EQ that they put in the Cougars and T-Birds of that year. Quote Selected
