I am listing for sale a 1970 Cougar Eliminator that was wrecked in 1973 with only 43,739 miles.   It was one of only 469 that had the BOSS 302 motor.    Also had 3.91 rear end but not drag pac I'm afraid.   Competition Yellow with black Houndstooth  seats would have gotten some looks back in the day.   The car hit a ditch sideways that broke leaf spring and bent housing.  I got it from a salvage yard in 1995 to save it from the crusher.  The gear head vultures picked it clean over the years.  No motor, trans, driveshaft, rear end, 8000 tach, linkage, spoiler, hood scoop, seats, radiator, running cougar gas cap cover, rev limiter, correct steering box and brake pedal.  Reinstalled bent housing w/ 28 spline axles so it can be rolled.  Still has disc brakes, clutch pedal, stagger shock mounts, body buck tag and most of unique suspension parts (rear sway bar was torch cut)

The condition of the car is very poor.  Mother Nature hates these cars.   The tin termites have nested in the lower quarter, cowl, bottom of doors, hood, deck lid,  floor pans, fenders, valances, front frame rail, and battery tray.   Took a tree limb to the roof and rear deck in the 80's.  Shock towers uncracked and apart from the rust, quarter damage  and roof dents, the car is very strait.    One repaint with a Springtime Yellow coat and bad body work done on pass door handle and fender.  Had 15 inch Ford Magnum 500,s (part # D1OE).  One was bent in the wreck (replaced with painted 14" magnum) and the other three were in the mud for LONG time.   Some one attacked the dash with a hammer to get tach and cut thru cowl to pull brake pedal.  The part number on the hammer was 1DI0T!!! 

State made me get at Permit to Dismantle back in 2000 on the car as proof of ownership.  Until recently you could reapply for a title with a permit, but they changed the rules in Louisiana and car can not be titled in this state.  Please check with your states rules on titles for vintage cars before bidding.  Most state have a process to title a car with a bill of sale (Texas can for sure).

I know this car is rough but I'm not asking $80,000 like restored cars.  If you are like me and like to COLLECT TOYS, this would make a good lawn ornament.  Your wife will understand. 

Planning to be at the Pate Swap Meet in Dallas Texas on April 27th with car if you are at the show and want to inspect it.  Can post vender space number when assigned that morning.

Also willing to deliver COD for about .80 cents per mile.
