1987 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Description

This is a 1987 Mercury Cougar “20th Anniversary Edition”. Under 155,000 miles, that is about 5000 miles a year. This car has NEVER been smoked in and the interior is in immaculate shape. This is 1 of 5000 units produced by Ford in 1987.Everything is original including the 5.0 liter engine. It is estimated that there are fewer than 200 units still registered to be driven.

I bought this car almost 2 years ago from the original owner that has taken unbelievable care of the car since it was brand new. I wanted the car because it was the same model car that I drove in high school, 1991-1995. It was cool then and it is still a very great looking car.

A few things that set this Cougar apart from the other Models:

20th Anniversary Cougar

To celebrate its 20th anniversary, a limited-edition Cougar was produced. The car went on sale in February 1987. The Cougar LS was the starting point for this special model. These special Cougars featured these standard items to set them apart from the regular production Cougars:

  • Power Seats, windows
  • Automatic lights ON/OFF, DIM
  • Automatic windshield wipers
  • Wood Grain Interior
  • Cabernet Red exterior w/Midnight Smoke moldings
  • All exterior badging (front bumper, grille trim, trunk lid nomenclature and moulding trim) was finished in 24 karatgold. C-pillar emblems were finished in a gold cloisonn?.
  • Nonfunctional luggage rack
  • Mustang GT wheels painted gold with a Cougar center cap
  • Special "20th Anniversary Edition" dash emblem
  • Light Sand Beige interior with unique part-leather, part-suede (Ultrasuede) seats with heating and three-user memory profile. The seats also featured a special Cabernet Red piping.
  • Special embroidered 20th Anniversary floor mats
  • Traveler's convenience kit
  • A hardcover book - "Mercury Cougar 1967–1987", which detailed the history of the Cougar

A few things have been done to the car to keep it running and looking so good.

  • The car received a new paint job about 10 years ago from the local Ford dealership. It is GREAT paint job and no cost was spared and it shows.

  • New battery ($100)

  • Complete tune up ($500)

  • Recovered armrest ($180)

You have to see the car to appreciate it! It has plenty of power and the ride is like any other sports car. You will want this car if you see it in person. Call or text Jerry with any questions 615-542-1942
