I thought the white Cougar was an XR7 too because of the gauges and seats but it didn't have the sport steering wheel and it had the lower trim level door panels too.

It's an '88 XR-7 for sure; note the body-color trim and mirrors. At some point during production of the '88 XR-7, they no longer received the two-spoke sport steering wheel. Rather, they got the leather-wrapped wheel. Those door panels came on the XR-7s.

My '88 XR-7 had the leather-wrapped wheel, which lasted for about 20 minutes after I bought the car. I quickly installed the sport wheel.

Saw these two today , but I was on a severe time constraint so I was only able to give them a quick once over 87 or TC 88 and an 87 20th anniversary cougar .

Now for the disappointing news, I am going out of town next friday and will be gone for the rest of the month, So any parts scavenging will not be until the first week in January :(

about six months ago i came across a 84 cougar that i snagged the front bumper cover and headlight bezzles off of for my car. After i got these parts i saw the perfect uncracked windshield i went for it but sadly the windshield prevailed and i am stuck with my cracked garbage lol.

Well if they're still there when you get back, I might need you to grab the inner markers for me. If they're not all heat cracked and destroyed that is....

Yeah if you go plexi windows you have to change them out every few years because they start to yellow.
