I'm going to look at this on sunday.
I actually have more info on it.. it's an XR7, burgundy.. has a full ground effects kit on it, turbo coupe hood.. he's selling a few extra hoods along with it and some other misc cougar parts. Not to mention it's an 85, not an 86...
So it's 1 of 16, and not 1 of 89.. and it being an xr7.. its a pretty rare cat.

I'll probably put my other 'vert back to stock and all the mods I had planned for it will be done on this one.

So, it stinks of stale Molsen and the gauges read in that funny metric stuff? :hick:
At least there was no cross-continental road trip required to retrieve it!

Well.. no it was originally from Florida, the owner of it now used to live there. So it's all in miles and such, and it doesn't stink of Molsen because you just drop the top to air it out LOL.
Well after driving mine from Arizona, and Jerry's from Florida, I must admit, this is a nice break! And for the record, this will be the 4th convertible I have driven.

Well.. there's a reason they call them a "spoil"er.. but yeah, you're right!

It's just too wide or something...honestly I thought the one on Bear's/Jerry's trunklid wasn't that bad. I'd rather see that on this car. But whatever crumbles your cookie eh. ;)

Yes the spoiler is definitely wider than the car.. and if this is the one I modify.. well.. i wouldn't even worry about a detail such minute as finding the right spoiler!

Great find, you may actually be the only one on the planet with one.
Good job,, what did it sell for if it is ok to ask.

I haven't bought it at this point.. health problems got in the way, but I was going to go with the full asking price of $1500, i figured it was well worth it.
