86 Cougar on Ebay

I didn't remember to look at its location, but I just saw an '86 (GS) Cougar on Ebay.  It's gray, 5.0, Mustang 5-spoke wheels, gray vinyl (maybe leather but probably not) seats.  What struck me as odd was that it appears to have dual power seats, yet they are probably vinyl, and it has crank windows and vented windows as well.  If so, that's an odd combination of options.  Anybody ever seen or have a car optioned like that?  I think it said $2500, and has like 87k miles.  Really good looking car.  Check it out.

Vinyl seats were an option with the base model. Power windows were still an option on the GS but standard on LS and XR7 models. It's uncommonly equipped but not rare IMO. I've seen far weirder in my time LOL.

Eric,
Yup, that's it.  It's in Maryland.  It just struck me as odd to have dual "vinyl" power seats (I always tend to relate dual power seats to higher-end models), and crank windows.  Cool stuff!  It is a good-looking car, but too rich for my blood and way too far away for me.

You know looking at that Cougar I realized how goofy these cars look without side moldings, especially when they are missing the pieces next to the bumpers. I can deal with the other moldings being gone but these cars need at least the pieces next to the bumpers.
