88xr7 Reply #2 – April 28, 2008, 05:16:50 AM All 20th's were '87's and didn't have charcoal interiors and Scott knows what they are considering the fact that he owns one....Did this car have a Landau roof or anything like that? Quote Selected
88xr7 Reply #3 – April 28, 2008, 12:18:57 PM Yeah can't be a 20th if its not the tan leather/suede interior. http://www.coolcats.net/fox/20thanniversary.html Also 20ths were not XR-7s, it was based off the LS. Quote Selected

88xr7 Reply #5 – April 28, 2008, 04:23:53 PM Perfect charcoal interior would say that it was not a 20th. Burgandy paint would say that it was not an XR7. Were the mirrors chrome or burgandy? Were the door handles black or chrome?It actually sounds like a special dealer pimp/trim package on an LS. Quote Selected
88xr7 Reply #6 – April 29, 2008, 12:19:29 AM It had a sun roof, floor shift, buttstuffog cluster, appeared fully loaded with power lumbar , keyless ect ect.I cant remember the color of the mirrors but i will get pics and post them. Its not really in bad shape , body is great but header is busted up bad from front end hit. I felt bad getting the eec out of it but the owner got it for the motor free. I thought it was not so good of an idea for him to give up the eec knowing he is going to use the motor later and keep it EFI but oh well.He has his own personal fox JY.He also has an 85 2.3 bird which is cherry under the hood down to all the factory ties and wire loom ect.
