I found a 1985 Cougar XR 7 for sale and I was wondering if it considered a good parts car for a turbo swap. Ill be putting the engine in my '90 hatchback. I dont know what tranny it has but the engine has about 150,000 on it. The engine will be re built before I do the swap. Should I do a compression test before buying it? Anything you guys reccomend checking out? I have no experience with the XR 7 and wasnt sure if it was a good choice or not. Thanks.

If the car is in decent shape I would buy it and re-sell it.
The Xr7's are pretty rare cars in their own right and unless they are totally trashed I would not part it out.

I have to agree with SVO1 on this. It was my understanding that pulling apart an XR7 for parts would be akin to pulling apart an SVO for parts. Pretty rare and fairly unique cars IMHO.

Where are you located and what do you want for it?
Thats one I don't have and would be great part of my collection. Would you trade a complete 85 TC for it? send me a PM
