It Took 3 Years To Restore This 1970 Mercury Cougar Boss 302 Eliminator
What we have here is a rare 1970 Mercury Cougar Boss 302 Eliminator, one of just 323 units produced with this particular engine and transmission combination.
The car was sold new at San Bruno Lincoln-Mercury in California back in its day, and has since been fully restored — a process that is said to have taken 2,000 hours over a three-year period according to its Mecum Auctions listing.
Power comes from a 4.9-liter 290 HP Boss 302 4V Ford engine with 73,000 original miles (117,500 km), mated to a close-ratio 4-speed manual gearbox.
