    Seller is a good friend of mine. He also owns a '77 Cougar Villager wagon.

    If I could find one like that, in Midnight Blue, same turbine wheels, blue interior, it wouldn't need to run or even have a drivetrain, just be nice and straight, complete, for a cheap song, I'd have everything for my Ranchero.

    I will never forget seeing on of these brand new in the dealership, white with the lipstick vinyl roof. Very sharp!

    It should go down even further, if he doesn't remove that clutter, including that roll of toilet paper, as if this guy's hobby is visiting roadstop restrooms or something. Is he on a steady diet of frijoles or something?
    Fixed yourself up for a liable suit, if Farrah happens to read this thread where you associate her with cougars of which she could interpret you indirectly labelling her as one. Even, if she happens to be such by now. That's why the original author of that post used the acronym, "Mountain Lion", Sir.

    It's "libel" not "liable"! Actually Farrah is no longer with us, as she passed away from the big C in 2009.

    Very sad but true about Farrah. An unforgettable icon for those like me who were the 1970s kids' generation. We'll never forget her.

    As a 60 gen, I never even watched 1 episode of her show. Had nothing against others who did, though. Just didn't light my fire, personally. I think, it was that hairstyle of that era.

    I can remember back in the late 70s the local Ford Lincoln Mercury dealer brought in a live Cougar into the showroom, just walked it in on a leash. I don't think lawyers would let you do that today.

    Right, but only because they're afraid of someone siccing the lion on them.
