About the 1977-1979 Mercury Cougar
The fourth-generation Mercury Cougar (1977-1979) broke from the personal-luxury-coupe formula and became a full model range on Ford's body-on-frame LTD II/Thunderbird chassis, replacing the Montego as Mercury's intermediate. It sold as a two-door coupe, four-door sedan, and, for 1977 only, a station wagon offered in base trim or as the woodgrain Villager. The XR-7 coupe remained the flagship and the volume seller. Power came from 2-barrel V8s only: the 302, the 351 (Windsor or Modified), and a 400 through 1978, all rated in net horsepower and all driving the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic.
The story
Mostly original, 53k miles, no paint/bodywork. Cherry red exterior, bright white guts. Not perfect, but wears her warts well! · Flounder
