Title: Iso '88 xr7
Post by: mo2872 on August 21, 2015, 05:48:43 PM
Preferably in the general vicinity of Oklahoma.......color is no object.  I do prefer the buttstuffog dash, though.

Anyone got any leads??

Ive been trying to find a nice oxford white trunk lid, car has original paint , some dumb a** used the trunk to stack stuff on and its got lots of waves in it, just easier to replace.

ROFLMAO, now that's funny.  Thanks for the good luck wishes, though.

Bump to top.......Still looking.  A bit more seriously now, as my 14 year old advised he wants a Cougar as his DD in two years........mmmmm, OKAY!  (He actually wants my '68, but not happening).

80k miles(in the 80's, I forget where now), early escapee, managed to avoid the bordello red interior!  My buddy tells me he's impressed with how well it has survived being in NH for 32 years.

Thanks, can't wait to see it in person.  He's offered to tote it to the "Chocolate Fox" show in Hershey, PA coming up.  That would knock about 10 hours off the haul/drive home.  Contemplating doing that rather than shipping it.  Yours is sharp!

Wow that's going to be a 16 years old first car and DD?! I PRAY he takes good care of it. I am jealous.

Also, it looks like it has dual manual seats. That's quite uncommon on the XR-7 trim I believe.
