1988 XR7..claimed...brown...with basic black/chrome trim??? January 08, 2015, 10:06:39 AM http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/4829259361.htmlChrome mirrors too. Strange, or maybe not? Custom added fogs...maybe the owner really just wanted a floor gear lever, console and argent turbines? Could something like this be ordered?A look at the hole in the floor might tell the tale of whether or not it was put there at Lorain... Quote Selected

1988 XR7..claimed...brown...with basic black/chrome trim??? Reply #3 – January 08, 2015, 05:25:33 PM I'd say it's not an XR7. Chrome window trim, base cluster, base door panels, base seats, woodgrain dash... Quote Selected
1988 XR7..claimed...brown...with basic black/chrome trim??? Reply #4 – January 08, 2015, 05:45:08 PM I say it's just a loaded up brown LS with the console shift option, those ARE LS seats. That looks like the full digital cluster to me. Also, remember that after 86 ONLY the 87 20th anniversary got the high end door panels. Quote Selected

1988 XR7..claimed...brown...with basic black/chrome trim??? Reply #6 – January 09, 2015, 01:23:22 PM Its a well equipped LS. I spoke with the owner at length last spring before i bought my Silver XR-7. Its a mechanics car. I seem to recall him saying it was front hit at some point but repaired well. A solid runner for sure. I have some interior, engine and trunk shots too on my phone. Quote Selected

It had TC/Sport buckets, full console, dual power seats, full digital cluster, auto climate, high end door panels, "phone dial" rims, and the chrome non-TC grille, I think we came to the conclusion that it was a LX.

Not in 88 though. Quote Selected
