You are looking at My 1970 Cougar Eliminator (Numbers Matching) one of 2267 made Please check out this website to know what you are buying, there are many clones out there that do not have the value they are selling for. http://eliminator.mercurycougarregistry.com/avoid-clones/ I have been told this car is valued from $34.000 to $38,500 from other sales and research, So I am starting this car at 23,500 with a modest reserve under 30K. The new owner of this car will enjoy this car as it rides and drives very nice. you may wonder why it is for sale ? I have a green 4 speed eliminator and frankly I like it better so I feel that if I don't drive it and enjoy it the time has come for someone else to, rather than leaving it sit. Please know that the car was just washed and pictures just were taken, I did not detail it up so it looks perfect due to time constraints and the fact that I want this car to speak for itself. Formerly a rust free Georgia Car all original sheet metal, in fact this car has near perfect body with original floors. The right torque box was replaced, there were pin holes in it and when I did this car I wanted it perfect. The Drivers side Quarter panel had been replaced before I owned it and I could see the seam when the sail panels were removed, However replaced with a ford panel, not a reproduction. Completely sandblasted and repainted with more new parts than I can name. There is one scratch on the drivers Quarter about one half inch long that I want to repair, however I am trying not to leave anything out.

RUST FREE all Ford Sheet metal original Runs and drives however since put back together it has been driven less than 50 miles in the last year, that for those that think of driving this car across county. It seems to be a very nice running dependable car however 44 years old I would drive it around the city to know the car before trusting it. All suspension, power steering, Brakes, engine, fuel system, rebuilt or replaced. I also added power disk brakes as these cars are terrible to drive with manual drum brakes. There are two other modifications to this car (Non original) Pertonics electronic ignition, and a dry cell optima battery.

On Apr-17-14 at 18:27:24 PDT, seller added the following information: 4/17/14 Added more pictures of this car even back before it was restored, the yellow was just terrible. In the Yellow picture, that was the first day in Wisconsin in July of 2009 The other pictures are to show how far this car was disassembled and how much time and car we put into this car. Returning a car with 40 years of dents is a chore. :-) I am the third owner and there are copies of the last two owners dating back into the 70's that I have uploaded pictures of. It is great when there is a car with history.
