1968 XR7 Door Panel Map Pockets & Dash Center Insert

Hello again! I’m getting pretty close to finishing my '68 Cougar XR7 project (sometime this year) and listed below are two items remaining that I need for completion. Currently, WCCC is out-of-stock on these items.

  1. I need two (RH & LH) map pockets of any color. My interior is saddle but I’ve got the SEM vinyl paint which will not match perfectly but do a decent job.

  2. Also needing the center woodgrain dash insert for the '68 XR7 with A/C, preferably Grade A condition but a Grade B will work ok. The woodgrain on mine is terribly washed-out.

I have a PS '68 in fair condition, saddle tan I’m willing to separate from the door panel if you only want the pocket.

C7XR7,

I posted you a PM reply.
Thank you!

We just started the process of getting the map pockets reproduced, stay tuned!

Will do!

Hallelujah!!

Please tell us they’ll be concours correct.

SMS is doing them. They have done some really good quality items for Cougar in the past, they are good at getting the right colors.

All, I have purchased the items listed above in excellent condition. Many thanks!

Samples just came in, not exact but I like them!

Sign me up for a pair of 68 style in dark ivy.

Oh yes - they look great! I’ll take a pair of the saddle when available.

Incidentally, the dash center insert I found for my '68 XR7 with A/C is in nice shape but faded. If anyone has a decent one for sale, please advise.
Thank you!

Hi Don

Please put me down for 2 Parchment for 68 if you don’t have any already. I had SMS so my door and panel skins already so the match should be the same

Thank you very much

This is off topic but I am having SMS do my 70 XR7 Convt door panels. I sent them my orignal panels to copy. So they will have a pattern to work with if you need to have them done. They said I would get my orignals back in three weeks. I will geive them four before I start making a lot of noise.

Any updates on these, Don? I got some spending money burning a hole in my pocket!

SMS still giving me excuses and saying “any day now”. If you know SMS this is no surprise…
