1969.The Eliminator package in '69 consisted of what is below but
other options were made available as a special order.Eliminator

(Performance)During the 1969 model year, the Eliminator option
package included an upgrade from the standard Cougar 351 2V Windsor
engine to the 290 horsepower four barrel version of the 351W. If an
Eliminator buyer wanted more horses under the hood, several
optional power plants were available. This particular car is the M
Code which translates to 351 4V (290@4800 RPM)...Standard
Eliminator engine. In 1969 this would be the Windsor version of the
351.Specifically this is a very clean, straight car. The famous
hide-away headlights were converted to an electric unit for trouble
free performance. Another famous attraction to this car are the
sequential turn signals that are in working order. The added 15"
polished Ridler wheels and raised white letters on the Cooper Cobra
tires give this Cougar a definite Muscle Car look.Inside you will
find an all white, bucket seat interior featuring factory dash
gauges with wood grain inserts and an automatic shifter in the
console. It has a drivers side remote mirror and an aftermarket JVC
am/FM CD Player in dash.Under the hood lies a freshly built 351 W,
(Re-man with a 3 year, unlimited mileage Warranty), painted Ford
Blue with an Edelbrock 650 cfm carburetor, factory cast manifold,
cast heads and electronic ignition. It also has a new exhaust
system from front to back starting with ceramic coated headers,
dual Dynomax mufflers and 2 -1/2 pipes.The transmission is an
automatic, Ford FMX. (no visible date code) It is also an open,
Ford rear end.The suspension is stock with new shocks, alignment,
idler arm and control arm bushings.The brakes are powered, stock
with discs in the front and drums in the rear.For those of you
looking for a classic that comes from an era of Muscle and Beauty,
