“A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.”

-William Shakespeare

This particular car in pictures has a standard 351 in it. Performance buyers really missed a super car here, in hind-sight. Very few were sold by Mercury dealers, about 4500 total for the two-year run combined, 1969 and 1970. https://cdn.dealeraccelerate.com/volo/1/16342/282176/1920x1440/1969-mercury-cougar-eliminator [img]https://cdn.dealeraccelerate.com/volo/1/16342/282176/1920x1440/1969-mercury-cougar-eliminator[/img] [img]https://cdn.dealeraccelerate.com/volo/1/16342/282128/1920x1440/1969-mercury-cougar-eliminator[/img] [img]https://cdn.dealeraccelerate.com/volo/1/16342/282143/1920x1440/1969-mercury-cougar-eliminator[/img] [img]https://cdn.dealeraccelerate.com/volo/1/16342/282127/1920x1440/1969-mercury-cougar-eliminator[/img] [img]https://cdn.dealeraccelerate.com/volo/1/16342/282130/1920x1440/1969-mercury-cougar-eliminator[/img] [img]https://cdn.dealeraccelerate.com/volo/1/16342/282141/1920x1440/1969-mercury-cougar-eliminator[/img] [img]https://cdn.dealeraccelerate.com/volo/1/16342/282140/1920x1440/1969-mercury-cougar-eliminator[/img] [img]https://cdn.dealeraccelerate.com/volo/1/16342/282142/1920x1440/1969-mercury-cougar-eliminator[/img] [img]https://cdn.dealeraccelerate.com/volo/1/16342/282151/1920x1440/1969-mercury-cougar-eliminator[/img] [b]Here is one with the 428 Cobra Jet motor[/b] [img]https://smclassiccars.com/uploads/postfotos/1969-mercury-cougar-eliminator-bright-blue-metallic-hardtop-428-cobra-jet-v8-3-s-4.jpg[/img] [b]The yellow and competition orange???
