But you have to admit, WJ & his team could make "your father's Oldsmobile" fly!
 
Couple of these out there.

Mustang roof (IIRC available aftermarket) should be a better fit since cougar and mustang are the same platform.
The corresponding platform to the torino would be the cyclone.

That generation of cougar has vestigial fins and looks like a remnant of Elwood Engel styling.

They did a great job differentiating mustang and cougar with those lines. It took a quite a while before I realized they were the same car.

Engel is the guy that brought over the crisp "inside" the body shape lines, that started on the 66/67 B body cars and then went to the 67-76 non Barracuda A body line, and also pre "fuselage" C body.

If you look at pre 1966 fords, notably 64-ish thunderbirds and falcons...it becomes extremely clear.

I was running the Mile high nationals way back when. At tech Waren's car failed the template and he was in his pit with a Sawzall cutting up his car to make it fit the template.
