I could be wrong but I think the early Cougars were based on the Mustang platform and later on the T-Bird.

Yep, Cougar was on the same chassis as a 69 Stang. They didn't group them into the luxury class until the mid 70's where they shared the T-bird chassis(full frame). Early 80's they went back to being a cousin to the Mustang on the fox chassis(same wheel base). T-bird-Fairmont and some lincolns were also on the Fox chassis with a longer wheel base.

Well i feel pretty good. Went to get an inspection sticker guy said a guy restores them right down the road. So i stopped in. He wouldnt price the car since he was interested in buying it but i told him i paid 12,500 ( i lied :p ) and he said i did good so i guess i got a good deal ;)

Yep, Well I remember the dinosaurs. You my friend might be closer to the dirt age. ==c

And I'm wrong even. The Cougar was still sistered to the T-birds in the 80's. The Capri was what I was thinking of. It was the cousin of the Mustang in the 80's. Luckily a smarter member has corrected me! ;sick

Ok back to being old, That I'm pretty good at! Carry on! >>

I grew up in one of those with my dad. It was a pretty car, rootbeer colored. Headlights opened when you turned them on. Sweet shifter.

I restored a 67 Buick Skylark GS with 340 2 speed tranny way back when. 90 mph in FIRST gear. Carter 4 bbl Nice honkin sound

SWEET OMV

I have a 2010 Ford now that I'm not all that happy with. Needs a wheel bearing at 46,000 miles, and I just had to replace an ignition coil for $120. for the part. And, an irony - the Ford emblem fell off the tailgate.
