That is a really sharp color combo. Goes good with the ten-holes. Examples like that I'd love to see against the backdrop of everything that was on the road back then.
1987 20th Anniversary Cougar, 302 "5.0" GT-40 heads (F3ZE '93 Cobra) and TMoss Ported H.O. intake, H.O. camshaft
2.5" Duals, no cats, Flowmaster 40s, Richmond 3.73s w/ Trac-Lok, maxed out Baumann shift kit, 3000 RPM Dirty Dog non-lock TC
Aside from the Mustang crinkle headers, still looks like it's only 150 HP...
1988 Black XR7 Trick Flow top end, Tremec 3550
1988 Black XR7 Procharger P600B intercooled, Edelbrock Performer non-RPM heads, GT40 intake AOD, 13 PSI @5000 RPM. 93 octane

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.

For the price I don't think it can be beat. Great looking car.

Very nice car but for 7 large I'd expect an unbroken headlight bezel and the timing plug to be there. Just sayin

Saw something similar on my local craigslist. 86 xr7 turbo, very clean auto, 1 owner, $1500, with all manuals from ford. Called about it for a friend who wanted one, talked to the original owner, but the car was sold. 2 weeks later it was pimped out on all my "local", I do a 300 mile search craigslist. Same text, new pics tho and asking $4000. I called and ripped the guy a new asshole. But then again I'm just that kinda guy

-i have got the guy way down on the price of this thing. if he got it for what it was in the ad 4 months ago, he's still making a large profit. i dont want to go over wHAT i've already offered, as according to research, is the HIGH end of value. but he wants me to bump it $200 more. what do you guys think???

$200 means nothing if it's exactly what you want, especially over the lifetime of ownership.

Don't forget to include the price of getting it (your time, gas, etc) plus the price of registering it in your state.  Add all that in addition to the purchase price and that's what the car cost to purchase - not just the amount you pay him.

And if the total is say $7K and you pay roughly a 50% total tax rate, you have to earn $14K to purchase that car.  If you pay a total of about 30%, you have to earn $10K in order to afford $7K.

That's the 2nd time its been on eBay. He bought it from someone on ebay late last year.  I remember seeing it on eBay and his feedback to the seller. Those are the previous eBay sellers pictures. I noticed he dropped the price by a grand.
