it looks like it might be a xr7 which only had the v8. but my guess is the same as your guess it could be either a v6 or v8.

X2 - Well it was bought here in tennessee (Nashville) and we dont get much snow here, and they dont salt the roads much. I hope it it dosent have any but if ti didnt it would be perfect, especially if its a v-8. Its sad to say, but if i bought it my 20th rustbucket would become a parts car.

Polycast wheels.....if they were factory installed upon assembly then it's not an XR7....

Could be a Blue Max or some sort of Special Edition.

If it was a xr-7 wouldn't it be a 4 cyl.?
It has red trim like a xr-7. After looking again I don't think xr-7's had trunk racks.
Stranger things happen to these cars.

'86 was the last year of the 2.3T in a Cougar.

All 87-88 XR7's were 5.0 SO equipped from the manufacturer.
Trunk rack could be a dealer item...

That's a Blue Max or Special Edition. If it was a V8 it would have dual exhaust but you can't see that from the photos.
See here for more info: http://www.coolcats.net/fox/limited.html

There was at least one red '88 Blue Max XR7...kind of unusual but it's on the page listed above.

Either way I'll probably (hopefully) still try and pick it up, as long as its not rotting. Any fox cougar or t-bird is slim pickens around here. Theres only like 1 t-bird and no cougars at the few junkyards that are close to me. Just hope the person hasnt gotten rid of it yet.

Well the person hasnt gotten back to me so i am assuming the car is sold....:mad:  guess ill never find out if it was a special edition. On the brighter side, tommorow i will be picking up my new ride a 1994 t-bird (its not a fox, but its as close as im gonna find around here):burnout:

That’s what I was looking for its clear it has exhaust on the d/s but unk on the p/s. does any one know in 88’ w/side of the car the exhaust was on for a V6. cause if it’s the p/s its clear it’s a V8.

Sometimes my luck really blows. I told myself if i didnt hear back from the person with the '88 cougar, then i would buy the '94 t-bird. This afternoon i went and bought the t-bird, came home, checked my email, and heard back from the people with the '88.:mad:
But, the new t-bird is awesome, i dont like it as much as a fox, but it is badass. Tommorow i go to get some new rubber, and after that ill post some pics so you guys can let me know what you think.:burnout:

All this is before the armor all, clean up and wash. only paid 1950 for it. I think i got a pretty good deal. All the paint is pretty good ( i beleive it is white opalescent tri-coat) except for the good size chip around the decklid.

94-95 were together in the two year cycles....

I realize the following is for Cougars, but it holds the same weight with their T-bird sibling.

Since the 1994 model year brought so many changes to the Cougar, and since Ford was so fond of two-year cycles for the big Cat, 1995 was essentially a carryover year. In fact, about the only change was with exterior colors. Everything else---wheels, engine power, mechanicals, and exterior---was identical to the 1994 car.
