the information on that tag says that car was built with a 390 2 barrel and a 3 speed. yes, 3 speed. the 3 speed could have a console but it would have a blanking plate and a shifter on the column. either the tag you have is not original to the car or somebody has been parts swapping. the cars serial number should be stamped on a tab under the hood on the cowl. check and see if it matches the tag. as far as parts swapping goes. that is an easy one. i was at a car show recemntly where i was shown a rare "one of" mercury cougar. the guy showed me all the rare stuff that was original. problem is i sold the car in 1984. prior to that i had added every rare accessory i could find and a few items that were not correct for a cougar but were for a torino! he had bought the car after it changed hands several times and was convinced that the car was original and untouched. the sad truth is the car was very touched as it was my daily driver for 4 years and i had swapped so much it was crazy. the guy refused to believe it was my old car even though i went home and got the missing front license plate from the wall in my garage (in california plates stay with the car for life). LOL he was absolutely sure i did not know what i was talking about and told everybody what a liar i was! it was amazing because so many people know me and they were just laughing at him and he got madder and madder and was just yelling at people. hawkrod
