I like it. I had that idea when I swapped the back of the Cougar to put on a 74 Mustang. The 70 back looks a lot better. Nice factory phantom.

Nice conversion. Ford did a show car along the same lines, called El Gato.

Looks good, but there's a reason Ford never built it that way. The Cougar was supposed to be more "upscale" than Mustang (since it was sold as a Mercury and not a Ford), therefore the more "formal" roofline on the Cougar.

I actually bought some Mustang II parts off of a guy that was building one of these in 1:1 form... very slowly lol. But it was going pretty well. Definitely an interesting swap.
