For the price, it should be a year older and equipped with the same 351C/4speed combo. while the 69-70 cougar got a little bit fatter than the 67-68, the 71-73 gained even more weight and added a chromosome. It's like Ford's designers said "hey, the cougar looks pretty good now, but what if we added some Down…

This, with a 351C/C6 and without the hood scoop, thanks.

Simple, rugged, and ubiquitous. There's a reason they made them from the 50s to the 80s

I had some MDR-V6 that I got in college (1996) and they lasted until about a year ago when my mom's dog chewed the cord while I was dog-sitting. They were excellent, and provided great sound quality — better than the 1980-something Philips closed headphones that the college radio station had. I usually prefer closed…

I'm actually going to be partying with some marines at a cookout on Saturday. I'm going to be rubbing down some Pork Chops with cumin, cinnamon, crushed chili peppers, and brown sugar, grilling them and making a spinach salad with roasted beets and avocado

@evoCS-Hench-Minion to the stars: Why not this, then?

With the Coca Cola 600 in town this weekend and tons of signs warning of Race Traffic I'm tempted to show "NASCAR SUCKS" on a few of them. But I'd get caught and when you're in your 30s, geting arrested for that kind of stuff is nowhere near as cool as it is when you're 19

I wonder if the passenger floorpan will fall out if he pushes too much NOS or granny shifts...

This is pointless; that's why it's awesome.

This is what Detroit has done right since they started building trucks. Make 'em big, make 'em strong, and make 'em last. I still see 70s and 80s GM and Ford trucks doing what they were made to do, every day.

@Festering neon distraction: So not only will the Cat destroy the rings, but also the Turbo. Nice. It's now priced about $8k too high

@dal20402: Well, weren't some generations a resurfaced Mazda 626?
