85 Xr7 Ebay....definitively '80s. September 22, 2012, 02:14:48 AM http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mercury-Cougar-XR7-1985-MERCURY-COUGAR-XR7-/290776736697?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item43b3a4e3b9#v4-42Such a simple squiggly stripe down the side...but with 20k miles, that had to have been done "back in the day". I feel like the car would be a standout at a car show 10 or 20 years from now."Turbocoupe" no surprise as to what's under the hood of that...Cougar XR7...what would someone expect as they walked up to the open hood? Not that single valve cover! Quote Selected

Quote from: Dansbirds;398837Nice clean car but 2 questions someone might know. Did these come with a black grille? and whats the large cat head emblem in the trunk for?No, the earlier XR-7's had chrome/argent grilles and headlamp bezels (same as GS & LS) so those have been painted. The beltline trim and lower appear to have been painted as well because the chrome strip in the beltline mouldings is now black and the three stripes along the bottom should be gray and not black.Other than the "clutter" I'm not seeing what you are in the trunk though??
