I love it when you can just make a few simple changes and it's "SPIFF-OLA"!
That's a sweet little ride.
...as for me, today, I didn't feel like cooking, so I ordered a pizza....I should've cooked.
And also the same year Cougars, one of my older sisters loved those 74-77 models and drove them until we ran out of good used ones sometime in the late 1990's. She must have owned at least 10 of them over the years, all used with at least 50K miles on them. After that I found her a 1974 4-door Pontiac Grandville with a 455 that she drove for at least 8 years until the frame rusted out. That 455 now powers my 78 Catalina Wagon. There may or may not have been a plan about that, but it took alot longer to get than I originally thought!
