'69 Mercury Cougar Eliminator

==Description==
The Mercury Cougar is an automobile manufactured by Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company from 1967 until 2002. The first generation of the Cougar was manufactured between 1967 and 1970 as a more luxurious version of the Ford Mustang.
The Cougar Eliminator is a high performance variant of the Cougar. The name was inspired by the 1968 Cougar "Eliminator" funny car driven by "Dyno" Don Nicholson and built as a conjunction to the Boss 302 Mustang. Engine choices were a 351 cu in V8 producing 290hp, but 390 cu in (320hp) and 428 cu in (335hp) engines were also available. The Eliminator also came offered with a hood scoop and a rear wing. 2,250 Cougar Eliminators were made for 1969.
In 2014, the spoiler was cast into the metal body.
