IS THIS A REAL XR7? Past owner thought it was and it looks right to me.Just the second Cougar I have ever owned so I'm diffidentlynot an expert. It has the XR7 emblem on the grill, dash emblem, the big 351 Cleveland engine. The wing on the rear looks right, the holes in the trunk are from the factory, not after market drilled. Look at my over 60 pictures and do the research if it matter to you, its a great deal even if its not and a steal if it is.
HOW IS THE PAINT? I consider the paint nice. Car has had one repaint and its the creamy white/ivory color. I see no dent, no dings and no rust bubbles.
HOW IS THE ENGINE? Its a strong running 351 Cleveland. I see no blue and hear no knocks. It will leave drops of oil when parked, its like most old car and will weep drops when sitting.
HOW IS THE TRANSMISSION? Its the heavy duty Fordomatic, 3 speed automatic. Its shifts good.
HOW IS THE CHROME? Good bumpers, stainless trim nice a couple of very minor dings if you look for them.
HOW IS THE GLASS? Good glass, no milky spots or cracks, I don't think I even saw a wiper mark. They are power and work!
HOW DOES THE CAR DRIVE? To me it drive good for the year, it is power steering.
HOW ARE THE BRAKES? To me they are good, the fronts are disc and rears drum and they are power.
HOW IS THE CONVERTIBLE TOP? Look like new, it is power and works good.
HOW ARE THE TIRES AND WHEELS? Magnum wheels look great with good Goodyear tires.
HOW IS THE INTERIOR? No cracks in the dash pad, seat cover good, door panels good, carpet looks new in front and the rear is a little fuzzy.
DOES THE AIR CONDISIONER WORK? It is all in place and the compressor is not locked up, the blower fan works, but it is not working. It will need charged at the least, most AC shops will tell you to convert it over to modern freon gas.
WHERE IS THE CAR LOCATED? Athens, Tennessee 37303.
