1987 XR7 Cougar - New Tires, New Battery. Runs great. State emission and safety inspection good to go. Emission good until 2011. Equipped with CD Player/Stereo system. Powerful V8/5.0 Engine. Power seats, power windows, power mirrors, and electronic dash all in working order. Beautiful smoke-gray velour interior like new! Gear shifter is on the center console, not on the steering column. Very clean! Single owner and well cared for! The seller purchased this car from the show room in Alabama in 1987. It still gets good gas mileage for a V8. The electronic dash has always indicated between 22 and 32 MPG on the highway and 21 in city.
Recent major work includes rear drive axle bearings and seals (both sides), power steering rack was replaced, inner/outer tie rods, brakes and rotors, head gaskets, water pump, oxygen sensors, rear exhaust, 2 new front tires. Even the door hinges were replaced (no sagging doors like most Cougars and Thunderbirds). It was never in any major accident. The plastic header panel was replaced once and never painted, but it blends in well with the blue exterior paint. All other panels are original. It was never hit and has absolutely no Bondo anywhere. It has a couple of small rust spots, but nothing serious.
It could use a little LTC to be perfect. The hood is a little faded and there are a couple of minor rust spots. We hate to see it go, but it is not being used anymore and we would rather have somebody enjoy it. This car still has a lot of life left in it. If cared for, this car will only increase in value. We still have the original vehicle description with the VIN and sticker price from the original show room. Standard vehicle price $15,660 plus preferred equipment package and other options, total $17,830 at the time of purchase. Sold as is, from its current location. Buyer is responsible for pickup, or shipping/delivery fees. Please e-mail any questions about this car.
If cared for, this Cougar will only increase in value, not decrease, especially because its interior is in excellent condition. The estimated value for this type of car can be found at NADA Guides, Vehicle Pricing & Information. Lowest retail value is listed at $1600, with high value at more than $4000.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
