The 1978 Mercury Cougar was no longer the sport/luxury car that we are all used to in the 1960s and early 70s! In '78 this thing was the epitome of the land yacht! It had a 351 cubic inch Windsor motor and a very plush interior and ride. Gone were the cool sequential turn signals, the hidden headlights and everything else that made Cougar a cool car. In fact, the Thunderbird (same car) did have the hidden headlights! Figure that one out!:confused:

I spotted a couple of them on ebay for well under a $1,000.

They do fairly well in today's market. Seven grand should get you a nearly immaculate Cougar/T-Bird/Mark VI, and is not out of reason. You'll find the same-era GM Montes, Cutlass, and Skylark, along with the Chrysler Cordoba & '79 300, and the Dodge Mirada and Magnum are ALL increasing in value. Face it, if you don't have your '60s-'70s musclecar, or their more pedestrian-engined counterparts, you aren't going to get one anytime soon! The mid-to-late '70s intermediates are a great buy for under ten grand, and they are something you can actually DRIVE every day, if you want!
