Vehicle Description
Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this 1969 Mercury
Cougar.
HISTORY
The third year of production, 1969, brought several new additions
to the Cougar lineup. A convertible model was now available in
either standard and XR-7 trim. The grille switched from vertical
bars to horizontal bars. Tail lights still spanned the entire rear
of the car and retained vertical chrome dividers, but were now
concave rather than convex. Body sides now featured a prominent
line that swept downward from the nose to just ahead of the rear
wheel wells. A new performance package appeared. The GT, XR-7G, and
7.0-L GT-E were discontinued, but the 390 and 428 V8s remained. The
302 engines were dropped, except for the "Boss" version, available
only with the Eliminator package. The new standard Cougar engine
was a 250-horsepower 351 Windsor. A 290 hp (216 kW) 351 Windsor V8
was also added to the engine lineup. The Eliminator performance
package appeared for the first time. A 351 cu in (5.8 L)
four-barrel Windsor V8 was standard, with the 390 four-barrel V8,
the 428CJ, and the Boss 302 available as options. The Eliminator
also featured a blacked-out grille, special side stripes, front and
rear spoilers, an optional Ram Air induction system, a full gauge
package including tachometer, upgraded "Decor" interior trim,
special high-back bucket seats, rally wheels, raised white letter
tires, and a performance-tuned suspension and handling package. It
also came in vibrant colors, such as white, bright blue metallic,
competition orange, and bright yellow. Only two Cougars were
produced with the Boss 429 V8 as factory drag cars for "Fast Eddie"
Schartman and "Dyno" Don Nicholson. A 1969-only package was the
Cougar Sports Special that included unique pin striping, "turbine"
style wheel covers, and rocker panel moldings with simulated side
scoops. D�cor interior and performance suspension were available
for the Sports Special, as were any of the optional Cougar engines,
other than the Boss 302. No badges or decals denoted the Sports
Special option on either the interior or exterior. SOURCE:
