Hey everyone, I was turned onto these forums by a friend, saying it was THE place to look for T-birds and Cougars. I don't own either of them at the moment, but will be looking to buy one soon :)

The turbines are factory. The 88 XR7 got body colored turbines standard, and argent wheels as an option.
It's Gumby's fault.

Yeah I still half can't believe that every time I see a pic of an XR7. Just seems a mite flashy/sporty for something available stock. Sure was a good idea though.

Wait till you see a red 88 XR7 with the red turbines. You'll think otherwise then.
It's Gumby's fault.
