I could be wrong but I think the early Cougars were based on the Mustang platform and later on the T-Bird.
I guess i pulled another OMV :)

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.
Damn, we are so smart here....(and obviously old)
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 
) and he said i did good so i guess i got a good deal

Some like Mr. J. could be older than dirt
Yep, Well I remember the dinosaurs. You my friend might be closer to the dirt age.
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!
Ok back to being old, That I'm pretty good at! Carry on!

We will all pass on the pict's of you pulling your so called OMV!
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.
Had a PowerGlide in my '66 Chevy II SS....bulletproof.Powerglide.... 2 Speeds, Fast and Faster!
