Default what is this thing?

based solely on the image attached, wtf is this car? ive done some searching, i thought it was a torino, but i cant match another image. i tried mercury, and got about half way thru buick on google images before i gave up. im thinking its a 75-88 era. the downward slope of the body line is what is throwing me off, and torino's seem to have a more pointed rear window (back passenger)

Pic is small but my guess is a 1970 Ford Torino. Maybe?

if its torino, the front facia is off, kinda like the starsky and hutch version, but then the body line on this brown turd comes down, while the torino has a swoop over rear tire

went thru everything from 63 - 80 rivera, no luck - same pointy back window that was throwin me off about the torino.

maybe a mercury?

(not tryin to purposely disprove you, just some comparison shots)
