This car is perfect in every respect with all mechanicals functioning as new. All electrical functioning properly such as ice cold a/c, power windows & seats, cruise control, radio, tachometer, gauges and more. The seats are in excellent condition with no rips or tears. The dash & headliner are perfect as is the door panels. Dash mat included to keep dash perfect. Body is perfect as she has been garaged since day 1. Absolutely no rust whatsoever... The car is all stock except the wheels & tires. I installed ASA Wheels and 225x50x16 tires for much better road handling. Built-in slow charger to plug in to 110v for storage. Currently insured for FULL coverage including theft, comp. & collision at $7500 appraised value, towing, hotel accommodations, and more for only $101/year thru classic car insurance.
The motor & transmission is the same as the Mustang SVO with the 2.3L & 5 Speed Manual making it one of the fastest cars and most expensive version of the XR7 of it's time. Included with the car is the Display for shows which includes the Original Window Sticker of $15,978 which was expensive at the time, Warranty Information Booklet, Operating Guide, Owners Guide, Original Brochure, and proof of date of 12/3/16 when returned to Dealer for trade-in at 68,100 miles and subsequently my purchase. Yes, I have enjoyed her on many road trips to NY, Maine, & Florida. I have taken her to cruise-ins & numerous shows competing against others and coming home with a few 1st Place trophies (original unrestored class 5, AACA)... I am only selling her as I found my first love, a Studebaker Hawk which I have now in my possession.
