1987 Mercury Cougar XR-7 For Sale (Forum Member Car)

I really would like this car to end up with someone from here, so here goes the info:

Car is located in Long Island NY

72K miles when i purchased, at about 80K now. (original mile car)
Paint is 100% original and intact, clear coat as well. Needs a very good clay bar detail to get down past some of the surface oxidation, and should shine up very nicely. I may have this done prior to selling, and will affect the price if do.
Shifts tightly and perfectly.
Heat is awesome, AC worked fine last summer, i suspect it needs a recharge though. Compressor should be fine.
Stereo is all stock and sounds perfect with the cassette adapter for my iPod.
Power everything works perfectly.
Leather is perfect, near flawless, lumbars work perfectly.
Gauges are spot on, speedo was in perfect sync with the speed on my GPS.
Very quiet with regard to squeaks and rattles.
Doors opened and close perfectly
All weather strip is perfect, window sweeps, felts etc. no dry rot
Belt line moldings were flawless and the chrome strips were perfect, no oxidation anywhere.
Rims are super clean, no rash.
Alignment is good, with good Cooper tires all around
Brand new battery with 6 year warranty
Cruise Control is perfect
Trunk is mint, has rubber mat also! :-)
Console plate is perfect and intact, no lifting and no screws through it to make it flat.
Perfect Headliner, carpet, floor mats, and vanity mirrors. Dash looks like showroom new, door pulls are tight and perfect, and rear package tray is perfect. Interior has almost no discernible fading.

The bad (very Minor)
Rearview Mirror needs to be re-silvered
Black Trim around the front and rear windshields could use some touching up, just never had the time to do it.
One tiny nickel sized rust spot, (no rot) on the passenger rear quarter just above the moldings.
One touched up scratch on passenger door, with the wrong color silver touch up paint pen.
i added the the stock EQ to fill the useless hole in the dash. I have a EQ compatible radio to go with the car and is probably a 15 minute swap if you feel motivated to do so.

I am looking to get $2500 Firm if i sell the car this month. If i don't i will clean up and fix the minor issues and the price will go up and will wait as long as needed to get my asking.
Any questions: Davidconn1@mac.com or call/text anytime 516-978-5988
