Hey guys, have a 68 XR-7 GT that has me over my skies in time and money. The car is nearly complete only missing theaircleaner, id, /C unit, ndfrontlowervalance. It needs total resto but I took it to a shop when I bought it and the got it running. The bad: rust in the normal spots (hood not horrible) no breaks, loor pan is rusted, ack lower corners are rusted, lah blah...it's old and from Indiana. The Good: #'s matching car, nly 1,845 built in 68, 1,500 in parts that I've spent with WCC, everal pieces rechromed or polished (wholefrontgrillrestored) severalparts powder coated black(license plate holder,Hood latchsystem). Parts I bought for it include thesnorkel($300), any bulbs, grade switches, ear shifter....on and on. Carpet has been removed but most interior pieces in GREAT shape. Door panels near perfect, EW dash cover!, ick panels okay, onsole in great condition, ack seat leather okay...fronts seats shot...VIN# 8F93S519499...many pictures.
Part's include: New dash cover (expensive) Snorkel for air cleaner (expensive) gear shifter, ew fuel pump, ots of bulbs and A grade switches, hromed valve covers, rillpieces, nterior door handles, owdercoated hood latch system, ear plate holer and I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

I thought I'd add a little bit more information about the car. It is an S code which most of you are probably aware of if you know your cougars and or ford products. I also thought I'd break down the vin number and the door tag number that's located on the rear edge of the driver side door sill.
