For sale here is a real deal 1970 Competition Gold Cougar Eliminator. Numbers matching original 351 Cleveland 4V big block motor with the original 4 speed transmission with Hurst shifter. The car was repainted years ago with a good driver quality paint job, the current color is a little more orange than (the original) Competition Gold color. The interior features the original high back bucket seats that are in really nice shape. All dash and exterior lights work as they should including the sequential taillights and hideaway headlights. The car runs and drives as it should, featuring a very strong engine. There is a slight draw on the battery which will drain the car if not driven frequently that I haven't quite solved yet. I have installed a quick battery disconnect that twists on and off to alleviate this issue until it is corrected. There is no radio in the car. There is a slight exhaust leak behind the engine that gives a slight raspy sound to the exhaust - however several people have noted that they like the resulting sound better than a "perfect" exhaust note. This is a very original and truly Rare Eliminator - see the 2 attached Elite Marti report that break down the options 2 different ways showing it is a 1 of 1 car - the only one to be optioned in this manner. A wonderful car to enjoy today and restore to perfection tomorrow - a fun car and Very Fast. Feel free to call my mechanic Rick (443-375-7026) with any questions regarding the vehicle and its condition.
