They Never Installed a 427 In Anything But a GT-E in 1968. Except When They Did… Okay, so what if I told you that there was this guy who says there was a ’68 XR7–that’s not a GT-E–built with a factory W-code 427 (impossible), has factory Whisper Aire® Air Conditioning (not available with a 427), painted white (of course, all unicorns are white…), and that it was ordered by a dealer in Texas for a retail customer, built on the assembly line, and it may still be in the hands of the original owner?

1967 XR-7 trim package: Did -NOT- include an XR-7 emblem in the trunk lock cover. The XR-7’s and standard Cougar packages in 1967 both had the same trunk lock latch emblems that simply said Cougar. The XR7 emblem in the trunk latch wasn’t offered untill the 1968 model year. 1968 XR-7 trim package: XR-7 emblem insert for the trunk keylatch cover.
