The Mercury Cougar of 1970 had a revised look that was designed to
retain the untamed spirit that Mercury had built into this model.
The new look was sleeker in silhouette, longer in line and sportier
in its flair throughout. The car was available as a convertible or
hardtop and was meant to convey the hand-tooled appearance of
European Grand Touring cars of the era. It was a full-grown,
full-fledged sports machine with "impeccable road manners and a
smooth ride." With many options and performance packages to offer,
the 1970 Cougar could easily fall into multiple categories from
wild to elegant.
The beautiful example being offered is one that falls on the wild
side with the XR7 build, Cougar Eliminator visual� tribute package,
and the original 351C�- 2V engine.� Factory writings of the period
declared: "Cougar Eliminator...spoilers hold it down...nothing
holds it back." The Cougar Eliminator was presented to the public
as a performer that had the hardware to match. The front and rear
spoilers provided an immediate clue, as did the racing-style
mirror, blacked-out grille with hidden headlights, hood scoop and
full-length Eliminator side stripes.
This Eliminator Tribute features its original 351C, and legendary
Ford C4 Automatic transmission.� It may not be as potent as the 428
Cobra Jet that should lie under the hood, but this Cleveland�is no
slouch!�
The body and paint is about as close to flawless as you will find.�
The body panels are perfectly smooth, and the new paint was
professionally applied by a reputable body shop with decades of
experience.
The original interior is in excellent shape with only minimal wear
showing on the upholstery.� Everything from the carpet to the
headliner is in extremely good condition.� All the gauges are in
correct working order. This car does feature factory A/C (not
currently opperational).� All the glass is in excellent shape, and
the windows roll up and down with ease.� And of course... the
headlight doors work perfectly!
Ford was one of the vanguards of the muscle car movement in the
1960s and �70s and the special cars from this era continue to be
coveted nearly 50 years later. The performance engineers and
designers of the Ford / Mercury Division created a proud pedigree
that is evident to even a glance; authoritative and rarely seen,
this XR7 with Eliminator visual package will be a welcome addition
to any garage.�
