I am looking for an '86 XR-7 with a 5-speed manual transmission but realize that very few were made and even fewer remain 29 years later. I am also considering an '87 [or an '88 as long as it has the (optional) digital instrumentation]. Smoke metallic exterior would be a plus.
If you have any leads, please let me know.
Well, this is about as close as you can get to your request for an '86 model.

I have an 86 cougar xr7 for sale with a 5 speed swap. Only thing not hooked up is the neutral safety switch. Heres the craigslist ad http://toledo.craigslist.org/cto/5006648520.html I know it will easily make the trip back to CT.
Thank you. I actually saw the craigslist ad a few days ago.
Heres the build thread on that car. http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?33058-2012-13-winter-race-car&highlight=
I'd love to see it be in the hands of an enthusiast! Obviously no one around me wants to drive a manual car with how hard it was for me to get my 89 supercoupe sold.
