[GrimJimSlim]

This car parks near my work in the CBD a lot. Looks amazing irl

[tcbtn1]

Beautiful car. Put the ACDC song back up.LOL

[GohModley]

I wish there had been a 1971 Eliminator with a Boss 351 engine. Life is so unfair.

[408punk]

Thumbs down cuz one problem. The driver was on the wrong side of the car

[DeathCoreGamer]

@408punk No he wasn't you fuckhead... are you not aware that there are other countries in the world other than america? they use different road rules! amazing huh?

[Okam85]

wish they stuck with this model

[JJbrubaker]

Hi. I composed the song myself on Garageband. I did have an AC/DC song originally but I was threatened with legal action. Thanks

[cooltool787]

what song is that?

[PonyPower71]

Best Cougar ever made!

[him89]

17 people had a muscle spasm and hit dislike on accident.

[TheAxlShirt]

[70xr7Cougar]

[ENCOMAN]

I thought the Eliminator came with a BOSS 351. Right hand drive?

[AmericanThunder]

I love Cougars. I mean that in every way possible. :)

[hadd13]

[taz275]

[jack10181]

[psychoclown420]

That car is the reason for the thunder in the land down under :D

[justin1138]

Classic FoMoCo muscle. Beautiful and nice. As you know, the Mad Max Police Interceptor was a Ford Torino with the same type engine -- 302ci.

[MrSHELBYCOBRA]

it's the mustangs cousin! eliminators are the shit!

[driverain2]

american muscle with right hand drive ...... FAR OUT !!!!!!

[ILOVESRT8]

great mowta dude, american muscle all da way

[gionorris]

that's an amazing car!!!

Soon i'll be a Cougar owner too!

Someone can tell me the name of the SONG/SOUNDTRACK? It's very pulp =D

Thanx a lot!

[camp69]

I owned a 69 for 11 years. Took 6 parts cars to restore it. . Sold it before getting married. Man I KICK myself. Now I don't have the car or the wife.

[steveoz24]

@camp69 Damn dude, that sucks.

[GohModley]

@camp69 Shit, man, you really got bent over. 

[RastafariPoet]

^ American Motors ^

[rastagoon]

can someone tell me where i can get a right hand drive Cougar? someone told me that you can only get them in Australia.

[JJbrubaker]

There are many engineering companies in Australia that convert LHD cars to RHD. GM, Ford and Chrysler did make RHD cars at the factory then imported them to Australia, England, South Africa or wherever there were RHD cars. Hope this helps, J.

[morderca95]

@rastagoon you should get ford falcon xb gt :D or vaillant charger. Thoose cars beat us muscles and they look so awesome.

[cuda540ify]

@morderca95 valiant and gt are gay compared to real muscle ...in looks and performance. LOL

[kblopp]

Hay the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car .

[TerrbleTrioHerb]

Eliminators rock

[Lochinvar111]

Notice the driver position, right side of car. I have never seen a Cougar like that before. A buddy and I built a clone with a 428 nearly 30 years ago...it was cool...

[upsidedowncross70]

thats a beautiful car! year I was born. :)

[forgottolook]

That is a nice car :)

[eerockk111]

1. Get a clue

2. Get a car

[eerockk111]

Absolutely pathetic dude!!  I've got a '70 vette that would totally embarrass this POS. (piece of shit)

[SinistirX]

awesome car had one when i was 19 had a 351 cleveland in it! wish i never got rid of it. gota 68 xr7 now i been working on!

[mofoco1971]

looking at a 1967 with a 351 cleveland right now he's asking $7500.00 he well not take any less.I go look at it tomarow and i know were there's a 1968 to for$1500.00 need work and time I don't have that's why i'm looking at a turn key.

[ford4x4offroad]

[Burnhamboy69]

[bmxer193]

[speed4mike]

nice car

[pupkrazee]

[kanejam1]

my bro has one of these

[sun]

beautiful car

[GTFORDMAN]

mate, where did you get the right hand drive conversion done - who did it? i had the chance to bring a 68 cougar into oz but the only thing stopping me was that i couldnt find anyone to do a conversion.

[ShortySIG552]

I want one of these

[FSTOPDR]

this model and the next Cougar body style... best looking US cars... EVER!! (future included... wow, can't believe I said that!)

My other passion is for Brit cars, as in my slideshows, if you care to look.

G'day!

[candle2k]

sweet cougar dude

[howlinblues]

GOOD OLE AMERICAN MACHINERY.

[disturbedone42]

Footage of a Mercury Cougar Eliminator in Australia

lol...

[nascarnic]

thear are ford plants all over the world not just England

[torocco777]

"Georgenfla" IS AN IDIOT, JUST LOOK AT HIS/HER PROFILE, WHATEVER IT IS & YOU CAN SEE WHY THIS PERSON IS A COMPLETE MORON, THAT BEING SAID YOU CAN BE AT EASE KNOWING THIS SMELLY EURO TRASH HAS NO CLUE ABOUT AMERICAN CARS.

[djdragosh]

STFU redneck.. your ancestors were "euro trashes"

[bronco302EFI]

ford can be built anywhere but its still an ameican name and design

[Georgenfla]

Cargirl, I dont know why that would be. Ford is built in England, aduh?!

[untoldguitarist]

Ford's are built in ENGLAND? Are you that fucking stupid FORD is a American company and yes FORD does have production plants over in Australia hence the right side drivers seat. And Australian know how to Build FAST FORD'S and they have one that is a Ford Cortina street legal that run's 7.1's in the 1/4 mile with a 351 Clevlor TT But you wouldn't know anything about that kinda of power now would you? And if you don't like America don't use Microsoft or Google since those are American companies.

[Georgenfla]

Thats not even amerikan. Hey Stupid Amerikans, the steering wheel is on the British side of the car, that a British Ford product...asshole amerikans!

[BlaCkJack36O]

american with k your name goes with k

DICK

[brianjcavanaugh]

Other than the steering being on the right side and minor body differences, it appears to be the same as the American version of the Cougar.

Just because my Hondas & Acura had left side drive didn't mean they weren't Japanese cars.

[JJbrubaker]

These Cougars were fully imported personally or by Ford Australia then converted to RHD by various engineering firms. Chapel Conversions were one of the biggest in Melbourne. They converted all US cars, Caddy, Dodge, Mercury etc and did an excellent job. They often improved the front end handling over LHD cars.

[carguy8023]

that may well be one of the stupidest statements I have ever heard of...

[untoldguitarist]

And I never knew Australia is British? Because it is not you fucking idiot Australia is it's OWN COUNTRY just like AMERICA is our OWN COUNTRY.

[kropkin]

it sounds like my farts

[eldorado303]

yummi i can smell the trees

nice warm feeling of the forest.

the cougar is neat , of course.

nice sound. way to go , man.

[ITS4390]

70 couger, the musclecar that never got credit

[ljdgm]

most cougars didnt get credit...its a shame

[nonamenuno]

why is that? It's a cool looking car!

[pyromohanzed]

Was this a MERCURY or a FORD label, I mean Ford doesn't have any Mercury lines in the UK, (as far as I know) The Mystique --> Mondeo, M. Couger (NM)--> Ford Couger.

So this car was based on the Shelby Boss mustang? or was it. I need help, cuz i just learned about this car today.

[ITS4390]

the Couger was Mercury, which is owned by Ford so TECNICALLY lol

[pyromohanzed]

Well, i kknow that .

But is the car in this video just a Shelby with a different shell? Or is it an individual car on its own. B/c in NM there is a large saloon/sedan called the Cougar, the one from the 70's. The 1969 was just the mustang according to Wikipedia. I've NEVER seen one of these where I live.

[ITS4390]

the couger was a car all its own mate, the Couger Eliminater (the car in the vid) was a limited edition version of the Coup the couger DID sit on a similar frame as the mustang but the bodyline and subframe wer completely different, the Eliminater was basically Fords way of keeping up with the competition by offering the mustan Boss 302 engine in a lower costing car that was just as sporty as the other muscle cars on the road

[pyromohanzed]

Thanx!! Now i know...

[fulps]

the car wasn't based on a shelby or boss. basicaly it is a cougar Elimonator with a boss 302 engine. witch is just a 302 with 11to 1 compression pistons trick heads and cam plus 1 or 2 inline 4bbl carbs. the cougar is my favorite car!!! i have a 69 cougar california special with 428 super cobra jet!!! the california special merc. cougar is alot rarer than cs mustang.

[pyromohanzed]

So it's a car all on its own. Isn't the 2005+ one based on the focus?

[wastedtubers]

you have a what? really. I have some beach front prop, in kanas if you would like it. cheap.

[MsPinkDink]

its an australian car could very well have a 302

[akbossman]

Love the right hand drive. English

[MuscleCarJoves]

like ur car man!!

my neighbor has one. its a 351 cleveland bored to 427 with a whole bunch of guddies like a MSD. Hot Cam. Highrise manifold thats just sum of the other awsum stuff he has. and that thing is Loud !!

i cant wait till i drive my Camaro its a 78z28

its all about musclecars that all i hav to say.. =)

[latinkingking]

wow 80mph top speed that is so fast

[hawksleyart01]

That wasn't the speedo that reads 80, it was the rev counter. If you look in the middle of the gauge it read RPM x 100

[Thomas99Anderson]

@hawksleyart01 Rev. Counter? Don't you mean Tachometer?

[ChevyCorvette7k7]

ya that was yhe tacometer

[kyliecody]

Thats What Im Gettin 4 My 13th B-day;;

Well Tha Body @ Least.

So By My 16th I Can Drive it!

[SimoDERRRRR]

beautiful car and country!!! :D AUSSIE!!!!

[flysocietyDC8]

these are rare but i love these cougars i hope they come up with a new cougar onday besides the gay one that look like eclipses

[mflora72]

yeah they are bad looking arent they? look like homosexual cars

[danbau08]

Can't be many of these around.

[rumppu]

Aussie cars tend to have drivers on the right side. ;)

[mrmisty77]

man screw dat old skool peice of shit. AZN tuner cars are wher its at. when im done tuning my 1997 turbo honda CIVIC hatchh, that beest will have like 450bhp. AND a dry shot of NOS. eat that bitches

[scwhockey41]

First of all a civic that has 450 hp....thats a fucking joke. And nitrous, go ahead and blow up your motor because thats whats going to hapen. And why the fuck are you even on a muscle video if you have a picee of shit import?

[gaddiniboy]

agree, and otherwise, there is no comparission, let's forgive the 'whoo goes faster' thing, what couns t more for me, is the STYLE of a muscle.

[scwhockey41]

True

[CoronaJoe]

LMAO @ the term "AZN", I crack up every time I see that. Chinks getting too lazy to type out "asian"? Trying to sound all cool....go grow a dick..

[2529Nov]

I buy autotrader magazines and they have one of these that costs $100,000

I would love to own one of these

[ronny302]

is the videoscreen mirrored or why si the driver on the right side? isn´t it an american muscle car where you sit on the left side?

[2529Nov]

i think it was custom made for the owner

[hawksleyart01]

GORGEOUS!!! I love that car!!

[n00bcak35]

at 33 sec he was driving on the rong side lol

nice car tho

[Firebird1844]

Please tell me the name of soundtrack

[JJbrubaker]

I knocked out the tune using Garage Band because I was sick of getting emails from record companies threatening to sue me.

[Firebird1844]

WHATS THE SONG??????

[zo0yoRk69]

i wish Ford would bring back the cougar. the last gen was a disgrace and i didnt like the look of the one before that.

[JManGuitar5150]

Yeah, I agree... Maybe after this recession

I mean, they brought back the classic Mustangs, Camaros, and Chargers.. They gotta bring back a '69 Cougar or something. I'd sure as hell buy it.

[FiftyoneFifty]

Hopefully they'll go for the '68 or '70. Those look so cool.

[untoldguitarist]

I own a 1970 Xr-7 it is so sweet. And only weighs a little over 4000 lbs.

[99GPSE]

i agree there and maybe GM would get their head's out of their ass's and rez oldsmobile i would love to see a redone version of the 69 442 or a new version of the gran national

[finalfantasyXyuna]

i had a 96. it wasn't too bad. it had the 4.6 (would have rather had the 5.0) but rwd and gobs of torque.

[zo0yoRk69]

yeah i have the 97 tbird. and it has good horsepower, but a shit load of torque. im pushing 300tq to the crank right now

[akbossman]

English right hand conversion. too bad bring it back.........

[DoctorStrangeFate]

All I want to say is PLEASE don't ever crash it. I just read a few articles about them and they are so rare!! She's a Beauty.

[JJbrubaker]

Not planning in stacking it...

[SwiftGerik]

Some guys have all the luck!

[331sbf]

Just wondering how popular where the 302 Clevelands over there?.Sweet Cougar.

[JJbrubaker]

Quite popular. Although the Boss 302 was never sold in a local Aussie car, there were plenty of regular 302 Windsor and Clevelands powering our local Falcons, Fairlanes and LTDs. The 351 Cleveland is another story. That engine was worked by local engineers to within an inch of its life to become a local legend here in the 70s and into the early 80s powering our lcally made muscle cars.

[camp69]

I didn't know that either. I had a 69 Eliminator. boy do I ever miss that car!

[Appledude500]

american car with right wheel? kinda weird

[RipperLord]

note: american car built for aussie streets.

[SkateStoned]

Dude sweet ass ride. Bet ya get lots of girls lol.

[19chucki74]

Two things: one, does this Eliminator have the Super Drag Pack with the Boss 302 and Top Loader 4-speed, and two, how many Eliminators were exported and converted to RHD? Kinda curious; though that 302 does sound sweet.

[JJbrubaker]

Yes it does have the close ratio box and locker diff. It's a pig to drive in traffic but great on the highway. Not sure how many were imported. US cars have been imported to Australia since the 30s. There are plenty of old 40s Buicks in Australia but not many from that decade on as the local car industry produced better quality cars and more of them.

[Rolexwearer]

Ok, Im somewhat confused. Right hand drive ?? Im assuming the vid was posted in some kind of backwards way. but I noticed that the license plate was not in backward form. What gives ... Super nice car either way.

[JJbrubaker]

There were many cars converted to RHD for export to Australia, South Africa,UK etc by the manufacturer (Ford, GM, Chrysler even AMC). Ford converted many Mustangs and even some Mercurys. I own another 1970 XR7 that was converted in the US then shipped here in early 1971. Hope this helps with your confusion.

[Rolexwearer]

I was unaware of this. Crazy stuff. I am curious on how many of these animals are still roaming around. RHD that is. Thank you for the info..

[gregger454]

So...? was this Fords answer to the GTO "Judge"????

[perryfan10]

Most muscle cars were inexpensive models aimed at young guys but the Boss 302 Mustang and Eliminator were a bit pricey so I'm guessing that a Mach 1 and Judge are more comparable. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[Govenator001]

well shot check my friends 535hp mach one out

[ZINK454545]

Nice car bad music

[vasilipao]

wow i want to have the same as the one on the vid!

[carminegab]

what a sound!!!!

[sebast007]

Awesome car!

And I like the video... but the music is bad. Anyway, I still give you 5*

[JJbrubaker]

Yeah I know the music sucks, I did it myself on Garage Band because I thought I might get in copyright trouble. The car's a ripper though, drives very well and has a nice power surge. Cheers, Jason

[adamclement3696]

juse cuase cars keep getting faster and faster they can never beat a clissic they might got 10-15 mpg or more but they are fucking sweet

[wasbored228]

Not only do cars get faster and faster they get better handling and more power also.

[hrspwrprofiles]

Nice ride!

Horsepower Profiles. Com

[vanhalen484]

They need to bring Cougars back and put them back were they belong. On Mustang Chassis =D

[12344bam]

i agree

[disturbedproject]

I agree after ridin in the new cougars then gettin my 68 4 days ago it makes you wonder what the hell were they thinkin

[NoxNoctisUmbra]

how much is this car? Priceless?

How many left?

[Ittiresu]

This muscle car is australian??

[JJbrubaker]

The car was imported into Australia in the mid 70s and converted to RHD. It was Australian law then that all cars must be RHD. Today you can drive LHD cars with no need to convert. Cheers, Jason

[Ittiresu]

Thanks,you're my friend.. This information is very important for me...Cheers,Antony (i'm italian,sorry for the language limited)

[honda4ever12]

i love these cars ford definatly new what they were doin when they made this ca i am super jealous
