"On the Prowl!'
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this impeccably preserved, one-owner 1986 Mercury Cougar XR7. With just 6,679 examples produced for the 1986 model year, this Cougar is a rare find, especially in such pristine condition. From the moment it was ordered new by its original and only owner, this vehicle has been treated with meticulous care. It was Ziebart rustproofed when new, garage-kept throughout its entire life, and never exposed to harsh winter conditions. As a non-smoker, and with no children ever in the vehicle, the back seats were only used when cleaning the rear windows—an incredible testament to the light use this car has seen.
This Cougar XR7 is powered by the turbocharged 2.3L inline-4 engine, offering a perfect blend of performance and efficiency. Paired with an automatic transmission, it delivers a smooth driving experience, enhanced by recent maintenance, including a refresh of the belts and hoses. The brakes were replaced within the last 4,000 miles, and the tires are nearly new, having been installed within the last 3,000 miles. A new aluminum radiator and a factory-correct exhaust system ensure that this XR7 runs as well as it looks.
The interior is a time capsule of mid-80s luxury, with the original red velour seats in immaculate condition. Power seats and power windows provide comfort and convenience, while the air conditioning and turbo gauge on the dash remind you of the thoughtful engineering that went into the Cougar XR7. The selling owner ordered this vehicle with nearly every available option, except for the sunroof and power mini vent windows, ensuring that this car was customized to their exact preferences.
The exterior is equally stunning, with the original black paint that has been recently ceramic coated for a deep, lustrous shine. It's hard to believe this car has been on the road for nearly four decades, as it still gleams like it just rolled off the showroom floor. With regular oil changes performed at an incredible interval of every 1,500 to 2,000 miles, this Cougar is not only visually impressive but also exceptionally well-maintained under the hood.
This 1986 Mercury Cougar XR7 represents an era of American luxury coupes that is often overlooked but highly revered by enthusiasts. With its turbocharged engine, luxurious interior, and pristine condition, this one-owner example is a collector's dream.
