Description

I am reluctantly selling my 1989 XR4Ti. November 23rd 1988 build date and production ended about 1 month later so this is a very late build. I bought this vehicle from the original owner last year. When I bought it, it needed a Transmission as there was No Reverse. Was stored in a garage for about the last 15 years. Since then, I have put a rebuilt Transmission in it. Vehicle runs and shifts great. Also replaced both Cam and Crank Seals, New Timing Belt, New Thermostat, Flushed coolant and...

Our Take:
  • Uncommon Brand, Unique Story: The Merkur XR4Ti is like the secret handshake among car enthusiasts; not everyone's heard of it, but those who have nod knowingly. Introduced by Ford's European division to the American market in the 1980s, it was a bold attempt to bring something a bit "out there" across the pond. With just a few years of production under its belt, this car has a unique place in automotive history.
  • Late Production Model: This particular XR4Ti is a late 1989 build, making it one of the last of its kind before Merkur wrapped up U.S. operations. Think of it like snagging the last slice of the pizza–rare and special. Such models often come with little tweaks or refinements that early models don’t have.
  • Original Paint and Southern Roots: The Radiant Red finish, minus the passenger door, harks back to its time on the showroom floor. Having spent its entire life in the rust-repelling southern climate, this car’s metal underbelly is as solid as a good Southern rock band.
  • Comprehensive Recent Maintenance: The seller's done some heavy lifting under the hood—rebuilt transmission, replaced seals, and a fresh timing belt to name a few. Sure, you'll need to address the motor mounts and steering rack, but thinking of it as your automotive rite of passage might just sweeten the deal.
