As the title says, totally new to wagons but i do like my first purchace. any help finding spares would be greatly appreciated, as i did not know how rare this car was before purchacing it. I bought a 1977 cougar wagan. I will now try and upload some pictures.
glad you found awagon and glad you found us. Join right in and tell us why you decided to by a station wagon, what kind of shape it's in, and what you plan do do with it. Enquiring members want to know. It's a good place to find tips, parts, and just meet good people.
it does run and drive, it has a 400 ci engine in it. love the look of it hoping i can get a tune up and find some rims to fit it
I drove a wagon for the first 2 weeks after i got my licence when i was 16, and was hooked. never owned one till now. i was looking for one around the same age as me and this is only a year off and i loved the look of it.
welcome to the wagon train Have seen a few of these Cougar wagons in the past. Usually down that long haul thru history past. That color green and with woodie on them. Have thought it would be nice to have one. My family used to have a 74 LTD Brougham with a 400. You can probably expect mpg's from 10 to 15, on a good, after a comprehensive tune-up. It's going to come with plenty of zoom, even on a bad day. But, being a Cougar, it's going to come with Lincoln Continental/Town Car suspension. If all that's in good shape, you'll roll down the road like you're hydroplaning. In a good way... Welcome to The Club. And keep the wagon rollin'.
Welcome to the forum, sllew. Thanks for posting up the pics of your Cougar Villager. I just checked a '77 Cougar brochure, and it states the woodgrain trim was standard. Yours doesn't look like it ever had any to begin with. I've never seen one that came without wood....... Feel free to join in on any of our discussions and left turns....... Marshall
I have never ever seen a Cougar wagon. That looks great. A guy I met 8-9 years ago had a Cougar that was in tip top shape, everything original from his neighbor who forgot she had it in the garage since she stopped driving. Needless to say he got it cheap and it looked great. Cougars have always looked good but I have never been in the market at the same time as them. Great find.
thanks for all the welcomes everybody, it's great to find other wagon lovers, I was wondering though should i stick with the 14" tires that are on there or upsize? Any thoughts on this?
