I had a 1985 Cougar XR-7 turbo automatic.. Was fun

These were the best driving cars. They were just silky smooth

What a Handsome design!! This thing looks as good today as it did so many years ago!! Just like the ageless one John!! Long live the king 👑

Idk why but the thumbnail had me immediately thinking of “F**K YOU BALTIMORE!!!” If you know the reference, you know. lol

Watched it comin' up Winslow Down South Park Boulevard Yeah, it was looking good from tail to hood With great big fins and painted steel Man, it looked just like the Batmobile With my old man behind the wheel Well you could hardly even see him In all of that chrome The man with the plan and the pocket comb But every night, it carried him home And I could hear him sayin' "Don't you gimme no Buick Son you must take my word If there's a God in Heaven He's got a silver Thunderbird You can keep your Eldorados And the foreign car's absurd Me, I wanna go down In a silver Thunderbird" He got up every mornin' while I was still asleep I remember the sound of him shufflin' around Right before the crack of dawn Is when I heard him turn the motor on But when I got up they were gone Down the road in the rain and snow The man and his machine would go Oh, the secrets that old car would know Sometimes I hear him sayin' "Don't you gimme no Buick Son, you must take my word If there's a God in Heaven He's got a silver Thunderbird You can keep your Eldorados And the foreign car's absurd Me I wanna go down In a silver Thunderbird" Down the road in the rain and snow The man and his machine would go Oh, the secrets that old car would know I still hear him sayin' "Don't you gimme no Buick Son you must take my word If there's a God up in Heaven He's got a silver Thunderbird You can keep your Eldorados And the foreign car's absurd Me I wanna go down In a silver Thunderbird Me I wanna go down In a silver Thunderbird"..........................kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qsVyetlhx7zKcWQ.html

With acceleration just barely better than the NA V8 and fuel milage just slightly better than the V6 automatic one wonders what the could have done by putting the blower and 5spd on the 6.
