Malaise Brute: 1979 Mercury Cougar XR7
This next car comes as a tip from Jeff, who writes: Why do I like this so much? I’m not sure, but I like it too. It can’t be a coincidence, because the car is terrible in every measurable sense. Maybe some kind of communal brain damage. Maybe we were all hit on the head at the same time by a big, fat American tire iron. Or maybe it is chemical poisoning from the exhaust…but does it really matter? Find this 1979 Mercury Cougar XR7 offered for $14000 in San Antonio, TX via malaiseface brownmarket.

I think it’s The Crow. This isn’t a T-bird, but that movie gave us a vision of how evil late ’70s Fords could look with a giant Rootes blower through the hood
Actually, anything can look evil with a giant Rootes blower through the hood, but these cars do so more than most.
