I am new and wanted to meet fellow Mercury Cougar fans! 🙂

This is my car a 1987 Mercury Cougar XR-7!  It's been a year in the making and I really hope that my son enjoys it for his 16th birthday! I had a very similar car when I was in high school and I wanted to continue on the tradition. This one has a new paint job with zero rust! Only 46k original miles/leather/new stereo/factory rims

I would love any comments/feedback or questions anyone my have 🙂

Great looking cougar! There are a few Long Island guys myself included if you want to meet up one day. Welcome to the forum.

Thankyou David for the nice welcome!

Mike, yes these are before and after pictures. Personally, I liked the grey but my son is a huge Detroit Lions fan and I  bought this for him about 13 to 14 months ago. I had one of these when I was in high school and I found one for him with only 46,000 miles in Omaha so I jumped at the chance. Other than a few dings in a little paint work on the door the car is pretty much in my condition. I have spent The last 10 months transforming it into showroom condition and i'm proud to say that it will be complete in three days. Mechanically It needed  fluids changed/new air-conditioning/battery/tune-up/and rearview mirror! I've done the paint job and bodywork and I still have to install the broth he's only for the hood and the tinted light covers. I will be flying to my brothers house in Missouri on Tuesday to pick it up at the dealership I got all the work done to and then driving it back to Michigan and surprise my son for his birthday.

 The only thing that I'm worried about is I found out about seven months ago that he hates cars and he only wants an SUV or truck! ���� i'd like to say I blame my ex-wife so I will! So with that said I hope everything I've done to it makes it special for him enough to keep it however if he doesn't love it I understand the rarity of this car and I would rather just give Him $2000-$3000 to buy a truck  and either keep it myself or sell it! I'm excited and worried at the same time but here are some pictures of the interior when I first bought it and during the paint job. Hope you enjoy the pictures and if you have any thoughts or comments please let me know .��X

Interior looks really good.  I say if he doesn't REALLY like it, you keep it.  Let him beat up an everyday truck or suv.

I agree with you but I would not feel comfortable keeping it in the city. I will probably just sell it so someone else can enjoy it.

Also maybe someone can help me with this problem - I bought some decals from http://www.coolcats.net months ago and never received them. When I try to contact them the messages never go through! Does anyone have any advice on this site?
