How many  muscle car  stories have you  heard where the  owner sold the  car for penny's  and now it's  worth six  figures? 1989 Mercury  Cougar XR7  SUPERCHARGED  with factory  "Manual  Transmission" All  references to  this car on the  internet agree  that it is one  of the rarest  and most  desirable  collector cars  built by  Ford/Mercury in  the last 30  years. This is a very  limited  production car  and it is  completely  unmodified  including the  original 5 speed  manual  transmission.  Less then 2300  were built and  there are no  known surviving  cars for sale on  the internet. 3.8 L  Supercharged and  intercooler 5  speed manual  transmission Electronic  adjustable  suspension A/C power  windows and  locks power  seats LSD  locking  differential  2.73:1 hwy gears This car is  a survivor in  very good  condition and  could be a daily  driver if  desired. Video: https://youtu.be/NhnUIVh-aXM Video: https://youtu.be/Z62J4auN7HY View the  Statics Here : www.aerocats.net/1989.html The Good: The front end  has new  bushings, sway  bar links, brake  rotors and pads.  Tune up has been  done spark  plugs,air and  fuel filters,  pcv and ignition  wires. The valve  cover gaskets  have been  replaced as well  as a power  steering line  and supercharger  gaskets (inlet,  outlet and  piping). Bolts  have been  torqued to  specification  including having  to puchase a  special tool for  supercharger  outlet. Coolant  and themostat  are new and any  hose clamps  requiring  replacement were  done. Oil and  filter are fresh  transmission oil  has been  changed.  Interior is  beautiful  shifter is firm  and precise all  power seat  functions work  as designed.  "Traction Loc"  differential  works well and  all gauges are  working. CAR  RUNS GREAT! A/C  blows cold and  on all fan  speeds & Battery  is new.. The Bad: Car  needs an  "intermediate"  parking brake  cable and  adjuster. (Left  and right rear  parking brake  cables are  new.)Car has  some door dings  and needs some  cosmetic  attention but no  rust. The  original right  front fender was  damaged and is  in the trunk  including XR7  SUPERCHARGED  badge and power  antena. A parts  car donated the  fender and fixed  type antena. The  "right front  corner edge" of  the hood has  been strightened  primed and  sanded. The  headlights are  not OEM and have  additional LED  light strips. (I  got the car this  way) Rear  window needs a  new molding  strip (wrinkled  common problem)  This car is  dry...no water  intrusion. I  didnt check the  "keyless entry"  feature. Right front edge  of the subframe  has a slight  bend where the  "strut rod"  passes through.  Looks like it  bumped a  concreate  parking barrier.  Will need a to  be straightened  to align to  factory  specification.  Not a big issue,  could likely be  corrected with a  large slide  hammer. Transmission  shifts smoothly  in all gears but  the 2nd and 3rd  blocking rings  are worn and  there is some  noise. Not  unusual for this  transmission.  Master rebuild  kits are  available for  about $200. The  car has been  driven this way  does drive and  shift well. I  have tried to be  extremely honest  and I'm certain  there are other  small "goods and  bads". Radio  is not  connected...previous  owner had  aftermarket  speakers and  removed them  prior to selling  the car. Door  panels have a  small speaker  hole drilled.  OEM replacement  door panels from  a donar car are  included. re Winning   bidder   must   contact   me   within   24   hours   of   auction   end,   and   make   arrangements   for   payment   at   that   time.   A   $500.00   NON   REFUNDABLE   deposit   is   due   within   24   hours   of   end   of   auction.   The   remainder   is   due   within   7   days   of   Auction   end.   Please   arrange   financing   prior   to   bidding.   /span>/span> Buyer   is   responsible   for   pickup   or   shipping   of   this   vehicle.   If   you   wish   to   have   it   shipped   using   a   service,   I   will   gladly   help   in   any   way.   If   you   are   not   sure   about   something,   Please   ASK,   I   will   be   happy   to   help.   Do   not   assume   anything   not   listed   is   included.   We   reserve   the   right   to   end   the   listing   if   the   vehicle   is   no   longer   available   for   sale.
