20th anniversary 1987 Mercury Cougar V8 5.0

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:
