Classic Car Overview

HIGHLIGHTS:

Believed to be just over 31,000 miles

Lifelong California car before moving to North Carolina

Striking blue exterior with a dark blue vinyl top

Plush blue leather interior in survivor condition

Powered by a 302ci V8 paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission

Loaded with features: power seats, power windows, and factory-installed keypad entry

Equipped with factory TRX wheels

BODY OVERVIEW:
This Cougar XR7 stands tall with its original, well-preserved body lines. The cars classic coupe design is accentuated by the factory dark blue vinyl top, which complements the blue paint beautifully! Buyers should note that the plastic rub strips on the bumpers have aged beyond the rest of the vehicle. Being a California car for most of its life, this is a solid 1980s classic that wears its history with dignity.

PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The blue paint appears original and holds a nice shine, though it does have some light blemishes consistent with a 43-year-old survivor vehicle. It presents well as-is for weekend cruises and local shows but a future owner may choose to go all out with detailing to take it to the next level!

INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The blue leather interior is a plush reminder of 80s luxury. It remains highly original and well-kept, with age-consistent wear and tear typical of a survivor vehicle. The seats, dash, and door panels are in good original condition, and defects are shown in the photos. The factory keypad entry and power options add to the charm and functionality of this retro 80s classic!

MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Under the hood is Fords trusted 302ci V8, paired with a smooth 3-speed automatic transmission. This Cougar runs and drives well, making it a great weekend cruiser. The factory TRX wheels are a unique feature, but buyers should note they require TRX tires. Overall, this Cougar runs great, sounds great, and offers a very comfortable ride with power brakes and power steering.

WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR:

The low mileage and highly original condition it's a true survivor!

That classic 80s luxury coupe styling with a comfortable leather interior

Unusual factory features like the keypad entry and TRX wheels

Solid, rust-free California history with only two known owners!

WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR:

The TRX wheels require specialized tires, which can be costly to replace

The paint and interior, while original, have blemishes consistent with its age

Not a high-performance muscle car this Cougar is all about cruising in style!

DOES IT NEED ANYTHING?

The current TRX tires are aged and due for replacement, so swapping to standard wheels and tires may be a more practical choice for regular driving.

WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR?
This Cougar XR7 is perfect for the buyer who appreciates a well-preserved survivor with vintage 80s luxury. If you're looking for a classic that's comfortable, stylish, and ready to cruise with a little TLC you'll love this car.
