My Step-Father purchased a the exact Cougar Eliminator except it had the 351C engine new from a dealer in Vicksburg, MS. I've owned 5 Cougars 3 1967's & 2 1969's one being an Competition Yellow Eliminator 390GT powered parts car & the other was a 1 owner all original 351W. Sold them as a pair to be restored as an Eliminator. Thanks for sharing 🍺 🎣
Being as rare a specimen as this is, I can't imagine WHY you would even consider selling it. The only Ford product / model I ever truly appreciated. Love it.
Hey Greg. I have a friend who used to own a 1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator that was yellow with black interior. It was equipped with a 351 Cleveland and matched with an automatic transmission.
My dad had a 69 cougar back in 1987 he he sold.it for $500 because he lost his job and needed money to put food on the table. One day I will buy him another.cougar.
A friend of mine back in the day had one. 428 corbra jet. Automatic transmission.he let me drive it a few times.loved it.didnt need to brake stand.just stomp on the pedal and tires would spin. He also had 62 Corvette 327 duel point that I also drive. I liked the cougar way better.
Perfect combination of looks of the 69ish era?? This is a uniquely sweet ride. Love the cat on the front. Its a visual that a predator is comming toward you.
My uncle bought a 1970 Eliminator. Grabber Blue with a 428 Cobra Jet. C6 Auto. Holy Shit was that car amazing. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was 11. Ive been a car nut ever since.
Had a '70 Cougar XR7 in high school with a 351 Cleveland in it. Believe it or not I got it from my grandmother who baught it new. She wanted to 'slow down' so she baught a new 1984 Buick Skyhawk, mission accomplished for her. This makes me miss it. Same orange color but white vinyl top and white interior.
Wow, I used to own one back in the 70s a competition yellow Boss 302... dragged the hell out of it blew a piston then rebuilt by Bill Maier Racing...equipped with all the aftermarket race stuff...then sold it to a guy who wanted to restore it to original. I regret selling it to this day. I'm wondering where the car is now!
Beautiful specimen. But rarity doesn't always correlate to a great or even good musclecar. I just pulled out of my old magazine collection an April 1970 issue of "Car Life" with a full road test on a 70 Cougar Eliminator with the Boss 302 mill and a 4.30 Detroit Locker rear end. The best they could do was 15.8 seconds at 90 mph. Top speed was a sad 104. That was with their best driver and crew of factory mechanics present and involved. It was a lengthy article and the testers were suitably underwhelmed, as evidently was the buying public...thus the rarity. I once drove (hard) a new 70 428 Eliminator. Mom worked at a Merc dealer back in the autumn of 69 and the sales manager let me drive a brand new 428 4 speed they had just got in. Now THAT car made sense!
I have a 1969 xr7 cruise control, safety feature package, convertible, and air conditioned. 1 of 300 made, just swapped out the heater core and the turn signal switch, stop by cougar guy. It’s not it the best shape but she’s the only one like her i’ve ever seen
great maslkara and it's a pity that there is no translation in Russian but still I put a like for the super channel where there are super legendary cars
I had a 1967 Cougar. Be curious if this 1970 will also do this. If you put the 4 way flashers on and also the left turn signal , both of the sequential tail lights go on and flash outward . Looks really cool at night. Great car for whoever buys it. .
If I ever win the lottery I’m taking the first available flight to Detroit (although that may be some time in the current situation) and I’m going to buy one (or two) of your amazing cars, drive one across America with my wife then bring both home ! .... or I should say all three 😂 !
Beautiful car! Some incorrect items & details, but quite rare. Google the VIN (0F91G508426) for some history on this one. Hopefully it will find an owner this time around. GLWS.
A Jeep .... ? if only time travel were a real thing ;) I found my Granddads 68 Cornet by the way . I took almost a year to track it down but I got it .
If I were a billionaire these guys would get a lot of business from me. 180k, yah if I had bill g or warren b's money, this would be my car to drive on fridays, lol.
Galactic Modeler my 70 was yellow elimator with the 302 an solid lifers had to keep readjusting the lifters when they got noisy! back in 72 got rear ended by a drunk driver ended its life!!

Buddy of mine in High School had a Blue one. His dad had bought it new. Was one of the Coolest Fords I ever ran into,personally
My High School car was a 1967
Mercury Cougar, was Metal Flake
Blue with a modified 289. Loved
that car.
Can't say I've ever seen one in person when they're one of a kind that's what we like
When I was a kid a friend had a 70 ,4sp with a 351 Cleveland and that car was fast

Love this car ive had two Cougars at same time .A 1984 an a 1981. I sold one then bought it back .
Your passion for this car is infectious lol I love it too
My dad had a 69 cougar back in 1987 he he sold.it for $500 because he lost his job and needed money to put food on the table. One day I will buy him another.cougar.
Lots of respect to whoever restored this car. Very meticulous, not a single detail was missed. Easily a six figure restortion right there.
...it has a few missed details, mainly under the hood and undercarriage. Still a beauty though.
Beautiful Car!! If I had the money I will buy that ASAP

Close match to the 1 I had in 1977....miss that car!
My brother-in-law had one. He was a Ford engineer in the 60s and 70s.
Who doesnt love a Cougar?😍

351 and 390 motors were also available for these back then. There was a wide range of performance available, depending on what motor was in it.
I’ve got 2 1970 cougars. This one is gorgeous beautifuly restored

Only on the eliminators we’re the grill and taillights blacked out this car is correct
Nice
