"A great car at a cheap price"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The only fault I have to my 1981 Mercury Cougar XR-7, is that I don't get very good gas mileage.

General comments?

This car is a very fast automobile. It handles curves very easily even at a high rate of speed.

This car is all original and in excellent condition. The original color is in excellent condition, but it only shows on the hood, and the rest of the body is gray primer.

For $ 150.00 this car is the best decision I could ever make.

Why is it hard to believe that a car you only paid $150 for is in "excellent condition"?

I do have a imported old 1981 Mercury Cougar XR-7 like yours (gray /black) low gas mileage too, although is not in good condition, but I love it, and it has long with my family for almost 15 years.

It's called for my friends as "the panther".

Does any one know what size the OE front and rear sway bar is with the 1981 Cougar XR-7 ?

Please advise.
