Changes: '69 Mercury Cougar Eliminator

Revision as of 17:15, 28 February 2019

Description

With a name inspired by the 1968 Cougar "Eliminator" funny car driven by "Dyno" Don Nicholson on the drag strips, the Cougar Eliminator package enhanced the base model with a hood scoop, front air dam, and rear spoiler. Standard engine was a 351 cu in V8 producing 290hp, but 390 cu in (320hp) and 428 cu in (335hp) engines were also offered. The Cougar Eliminator package was available for 1969 & 1970, then discontinued.

In 2014, Hot Wheels molded the spoiler as part of the metal body instead of a separate piece.
