Since they posted it in the Cincinnati Craigslist but it's in Jacksonville, FL does that mean they'll deliver for free to Cincinnati?
Since been flagged, but yes, there was a Torino wagon along with a few other obscure wagon versions. The one I've always wanted is the 1978 Mercury Cougar Villager.
We had a ~1975 Grand Torino wagon that was this exact color scheme. A copper like color with glorious faux wood paneling. My mom, who is roughly 5 feet tall, had a propensity for running into things with it, shockingly.

Was in Hemmings Muscle Machines a few years ago.
Yes, that's a Torino CJ wagon.
One of the few Cobra Jet Torino wagon's built.
Gotta love woodgrain and a shaker scoop!
Also, it's Gran Torino. No D and no U.
It's like you guys own a Camero fer cryin out loud..
Edit: Found the story here: http://www.hemmings.com/mus/stories/2010/09/01/hmn_feature2.html
A friend of mine had one. I think it may have been a 74 or 76 Grand Torino Country Squire. We used it one summer when we were painting houses. It was fantastic for that. It was almost as big as a van, easier to load and more comfortable to travel in.

I'm pretty sure that 1977 was the only year for the full size Cougar Villager. My grandfather bought one new.

Does he still have it?

No, he sold it in 1984 when he bought a new Mercury Marquis Broughm, which was quite possibly the worst car ever.
I would still see the Cougar around the area for a couple of years, but I've never seen another one since.
