This was the Top Cat for 1970!
Someone checked all the right boxes when placing their order.
The 1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator with Ram-Air (428 CJ only) will be one of the most coveted of this generation.
1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator “428 Cobra Jet with Ram-Air”
Sporting Competition Blue paint “Eliminator special color “
Prepare yourself for the ultimate Cougar experience!
0F91Q530651 was built on December 12,1969 and originally shipped to Hayward California when new. We acquired it in Nov 2002 and it underwent a complete rotisserie restoration.
Restoration was completed in about 2009, but has recently been detailed to represent a more showroom condition
We used another ‘70 Cougar Eliminator 428 Cobra Jet survivor to help document all the important details in the restoration process, as well as pictures taken before disassembly of the original paint.
The only real modification done is to the exhaust system.( changes are easily reversed, but add unbelievable hp.)
So if you have ever dreamed the ultimate experience in a 1970 Cougar Eliminator, look no further.
