1970 Mercury Cougar XLT 4x4 New Bodystyle

Sometimes overlooked by enthusiast today, the Cougar Eliminator was a true "Gentleman`s Muscle Car"! Known as the Mustangs little brother, not only hard core collectors covet these awesome pony cars, but most people think they were better looking. They were quite refined but packed the punch of the Hi-Po Mustangs of this era. The cool thing about the Eliminator (other than the fact you will be the only one at cruise night or car show) is it came with virtually all of the most desired Ford Motor Company power trains. You could get the 428 Cobra Jet, Boss 302, and the 351 Cleveland. The 428 and Boss models are bringing almost 6 figures, even in todays market, making this 351 Marti Auto Works verified model a bargain. Trust me, it still packs a punch! It was totally professionally built by our favorite engine builder that we have used for years. It was built to stock specs but dyno tuned at over 300 horsepower. It features a stock grind cam, intake, 4 barrel carburetor, and of course dual exhaust. Cougars also had a little more style and trim than Mustangs. This car is also equipped with power front disc brakes, power steering, and factory air conditioning, already converted to R134. Everything that needed to be replaced or rebuilt was done. We tried to keep as much original stuff as possible, especially in the interior and motor compartment. It looks the part and runs like a top! The rock solid body was treated to a superb repaint with all new Eliminator graphics, and refurbished trim. The paint is very very nice! The Competition Yellow looks great on this car with the cool Eliminators stripes and badges. The black bucket seat interior is very nice and features a full console and gauge package. The hideaway headlights work properly and look sinister. We upgraded the tricky sequential tail lamps with new electronic solid state units that work to perfection. Since the stock/correct wheels were removed some years ago, we elected to upgrade them with 15"x8" chrome Magnum 500`s with BFG Radial T/A tires. Sorry, they just look and handle better than the stock 14" units while still looking correct. We hope you understand. The rear tail panel has been fully refurbished including a correct Cougar logo gas cap emblem. The show quality trunk is full of car show display items ready to win you some trophies. If you are looking for a Muscle Car but would like something different with respectable collectability and performance, you cannot go wrong with a cool Cougar. Go on the prowl tonight! There are still financing, cheap insurance, and very reasonable delivery available.
