Junkyard Find: 1977 Mercury Cougar

We make fun of the personal luxury coupe now, just as we make fun of leisure suits, WIN buttons, and Freakies cereal. Still, the rest of the world (except perhaps Australia) never experienced the glory of the huge, inefficient, vaguely sporty coupe with floaty ride and deep-tufted velour interior, and this is their loss.
You're not going to see this no-apologies shade of green on any car interior made after about 1983, and that's everybody's loss.
You don't want to know the horsepower output of this 351M engine . It will just make all of us feel vaguely depressed (hint: it's less— a lot less— than the base four-cylinder in the 2013 Camry). The good news is that it churned out sufficient torque to get this 3,800-pound brute moving pretty well.
Ride-Engineered!
This car or the Cordoba?


Chrysler had Ricardo Montalban. Mercury had Cheryl Tiegs.
