ITEM: 1987 Merkur XR4Ti
PRICE: $1200 Firm.
SHIPPING: I will help deliver to anyone local

DESCRIPTION:
1987 Merkur XR4Ti
Automatic
Rear wheel drive
2.3l turbo motor (same as SVO mustang and turbocoupe)
50k miles. All original car.
Power windows. Sun/moon roof.
Leather seats.
Overall, the car is in very good condition. The only areas that need some attention are the drivers seat that has a rip in the leather, a couple of the plastic interior pieces are missing, and the exhaust needs to be replaced from the axle back. The car is completely stock, never modified. The previous owner had it sitting for something like 8 years, which is why the miles are still low. I spent a lot of time cleaning up the car both interior and exterior. Runs and drives great.

[DanJ]

WTF? That's what Jizzum's drives? I have never heard of or seen one of those.

 

[Yaj Yak]

wait... jizzums has one? cant you see perfect rwd turbo 3800 candidate

 

[Mike K]

That's a steal for $1200. If only I had some place to hide it...

 

[Yaj Yak]

[DanJ]

Pretty sure she drive's one. Let me ask Riski real quick.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Yea she's got a blue one. Damn that's cheap for a rare car.

 

[tmbutitta]

87 with 50k? nice... clean engine bay!

[Theautoguy]

Hell with the 3800, there is a lot that can be done with that 2.3!

http://www.esslingeracing.com/midget-short-track.htm

Anything that can be done to the Mustang SVO or Thunderbird Turbo Coupe can be done to this car!

 

[Yaj Yak]

^^^ thats cool shit

 

[93R-Code]

Thats clean...

shit looking at the engine bay closer- i dont even know if a 3800 would fit lol.

I imagine it would, 5.0 swaps have been done.

I'd keep the 2.3, it has decent aftermarket support and with the right head/cam combo + a ton of boost they can make big power.

 

[Yaj Yak]

thats badass as shit then. i didnt know they had potential. so cool.

 

[Ron Vogel]

I dunno, rare or not those things are ugly as sin.

Be cooler with a Pacer or Citation...

 

[Angus]

[Euro]

Pretty sure she drive's one. Let me ask Riski real quick.

And yeah, with some unnecessary things removed from the engine bay...I think a turbo 3800 would fit just fiiine

 

[Jizzums]

yeah, thats what i drive ha. looking at that engine bay..and then mine. what a worlds difference. mine is like empty compared to that. i'll post a pic later.

i should have mine up at lukes this week.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

That thing sure looks clean! Is it just me or does the coolant look brown?

Jizzums you should probably buy this so you could have 2

Jizzums you should probably buy this so you could have 2

but which one becomes the parts car

[Hubbard 0]

Ugh, swap a 3800 in to that and ruin an awesome car? You must be out of your mind. That 2.3 is echelons better.

 

[Yaj Yak]

[Jizzums]
