Gateway Classic Cars of Ft Lauderdale is pleased to offer this
beautiful 1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator for sale in our Ft.
Lauderdale showroom. Mercury introduced the Cougar in 1967 as the
Pony Car wars were in full swing. Mercury was reluctant to bulk up
the Cougar and take on the muscle market, a place where rivals like
the SS396 Camaro and Ram Air 400 Firebird had already begun staking
territory. By 1969, the Mustang was knuckling against these two
with its 428 Cobra Jet Mach 1, and Mercury could no longer sit on
the sidelines. By mid-year, the division had jumped into the fray
with the Eliminator. The name was taken from a Cougar show car and
from the 1968 Cougar Eliminator funny car driven by "Dyno" Don
Nicholson. Management fathomed that racing exposure could heighten
Mercury's profile with young performance buyers. Decked in bright
colors, blacked out grilles, body stripes, spoilers and decals, the
Eliminator was based on the standard Cougar and came with a choice
of engines from mild to wild. This awesome bright baby blue 1970
Mercury Cougar Eliminator is powered by a 351 Cleveland V8 mated to
a 3 speed automatic transmission. With a wonderful white, this is
one fantastic looking machine! Options on this 1970 Mercury Cougar
Eliminator include Am/FM Radio, Spare Tire, Tilt Wheel, Power Front
Disc Brakes, Power Steering, and Competition suspension. Be sure to
visit our webpage at www.gatewayclassiccars.com to view 100+ HD
pictures, as well as a short video of car in action. Better yet,

at 4020 NW 126th Ave Suite 108, Coral Springs FL 33065. Call us
directly at 954-227-4202, and we will be happy to share additional
information, or schedule an appointment for you to experience this
amazing car.
