I never had a high performance one. But I did have a 67 Cougar with a 289 2 barrel and 3spd manual. Bought it for $450 in 1982. Fun ride!

I had a yellow '70 Eliminator with the 351C for a few weeks. A guy was stripping it down to make a dirt track car out of it, and I talked him into selling it to me. I think the car eventually got restored, but I lost track of it after I sold it.

A cousin of the Mustang with a more upscale look. If I had been old enough to drive, and a young man of reasonable means, I would have wanted the blue convertible. Low-key styling, lots of creature comforts, and 429 with a 4-speed. The Cougar could be a straight up muscle car, a personal luxury car, or both. I'll take both.

I saw a 1970 cougar eliminator at a car show back in February, it was competition yellow with a 428, a 4 speed, houndstooth interior, and an am/fm radio. Anybody that's expert on these cars knows how super rare that car is.

@mikeb.17054 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately, the Boss 302 didn't get a "track pack" (Mercury called it Drag Pak) option in '69. However, they all came with 3.91 traction lok rear axle ratio, so not too shabby ;-)

If I had the choice of owning one Cougar it would probably be a 69 Cougar Eliminator BOSS 302. I like the looks of the 69 slightly better than the 70 but the 69's are extremely rare. Less than 150 of them were made if I'm not mistaken. So I'd settle for a 70 lol. That red 68 Cougar GT-E with the 427 is a gorgeous car. In my opinion the 67-68 Cougar is the best looking car ever built by Mercury other than maybe the 49-51 Merc's

I own a 99 Mercury Cougar V6 5 speed but my dream is to own an original generation Cat 67-70 model to park next to it. The Mercury Cougar was my first car and I have a love for the car that borders obsession. A 69 or 68 in full black out next to my 99 would make my life complete to say I own the beginning and end of an amazing car. Thanks for the videos guys I may never own one but to see and hear the history is enough for me. Thank you so much.

I'm a Mopar guy but if I had the choice of any Cougar it would be a 69 Eliminator BOSS 302. I like the looks of the 69 just a little bit better than the 70. The 69 BOSS 302 Eliminators are really rare though. I think less than 200 were made if I remember right. There were over 10x as many of them built in 1970 as there were in 1969

Cougars were for the guys who wanted Mustangs but considered themselves to high classed to lower themselves to driving a Ford. As a poor boy, I'm all about the low end, stripped down brands of Ford, Chevy and Plymouth, but I'm ok with the slightly more fancy Dodges and Pontiacs. Mercury, Olds and Buick are for the upper middle class douche bags.

Drives me nuts when the production statistics aren't quoted correctly >.< There were 58 Boss 302 Eliminators built with the Super Drag Pak option, not 5. To clarify on where the "5" comes from... Of those 58 Super Drag Pak Boss 302 Eliminators built, 5 of them were Competition Yellow with a Black Standard Interior and a close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission. The other 53 Super Drag Pak Boss 302 Eliminators had various other paint / trim combinations, and some also had a wide-ratio 4-speed. There are currently about 27 Super Drag Pak Boss 302 Eliminators accounted for, including The Brother's car.
