1974 Mercury Cougar
About the 1974–1976 Mercury Cougar
The third-generation Mercury Cougar (1974-1976) left the Mustang-derived chassis behind and moved to Ford's intermediate Torino/Montego platform, growing to a 114 inch wheelbase and roughly 4,250 pounds. Mercury sold it as a single model, the Cougar XR-7, a two door hardtop personal-luxury coupe with no convertible or base trim offered. Power came only from V8s through three speed automatics: a standard 351 two barrel, optional 400 and 460 cubic inch engines, and, for 1974 only, a rare 255 hp 351 Cobra Jet.
