Not sure how much information you will get from this forum. Most of us didn't believe Cougars where made after 1973, although there is some evidence that they existed in 1977
Maybe these guys will be able to help you out, or a similar site. As Leon pointed out, we don't believe they made Cougars after '73, and I think they stopped in 1970...
