Description of 1970 Mercury Cougar Boss 302 |
This is a genuine, ully restored G Code 1970 Boss Eliminator. It is in the Cougar Registry and I have the build sheets and a copy of the original invoice.This particular Boss was restored to factory specifications by the second owner. I am the fourth owner. Originally a California car, t still has its California emission system. The car is rust free and has been that way its entire life. It is numbers matching save for its service block. It was a common occurrence for these Boss motors to fail due to their defective piston skirts. Ford routinely replaced these motors under warranty and, s a result, here are many, any service replacement block vehicles in existence. The engine starts promptly and runs strong. The transmission shifts accurately and easily. The car runs, rives, hifts, teers and stops like it should. It's an absolute joy to drive.The car is an older restoration that has held up extremely well. The exterior paintwork is excellent save for some very small and hard to detect bubbles that have appeared due to, hat appears to be, inor improper paint preparation work. Again, here is absolutely no rust and the bubbling is very minor, solated and difficult to see. The seats remain very supportive even after forty-four years. If the upholstery was replaced during the restoration, believe that NOS material was used. I have seen reproduced and inferior seat material used in both Mustangs and Cougars (ie: comfort weave), nd what is in this car appears to be factory. There are no rips or tears in the upholstery, he headliner, arpet, ash, tc. Overall, he interior presents itself very well.There are approximately 102,000 original miles on the car. The tachometer and speedometer both work. The gas gauge has recently stopped working as has the temperature gauge. I believe the sending units need to be replaced. The engine and engine bay are clean and correctly restored. The only thing that comes to mind as not being correct is the battery. Otherwise, ll the hard to find parts and pieces are present, ncluding the carburetor, ntake manifold, eads, istributor, uel pump, mog equipment, ulleys, ev limiter, adiator, adiator fan, an shroud, tc., tc. I have done my best to photograph the parts and their corresponding part numbers of the under hood items. From top to bottom, he engine is complete and correct.The rear end is the correct nine inch with Traction Lok and has the desirable 3.91 axle ratio. The transmission is the factory original RUG close ratio with Hurst shifter. The second owner purchased the vehicle from its original California owner in 1983. At that time, he car had approximately 96,000 miles. The second owner restored the car from the ground up and completed the restoration in July, 987. The factory finish, aint markings, triping and other details were replicated to factory condition. Later that year, his car won Best of Show at the Cougar Club of America's National Meet after being thoroughly judged by a panel of the Cougar Club's recognized experts. The car has not been changed or altered since the day it won Best of Show.Although the car runs and drives like a virtually new Boss 302 Eliminator, lease understand that it is a forty-four year old car. Accordingly, cannot offer any warranties, xpressed or implied. The car will be sold as is, here is. I have done my best to accurately describe my Eliminator. However, encourage and welcome personal inspections. Payment must be in cash, ire transfer or certified funds that have cleared my bank before the car leaves the warehouse. I have clear title in hand. Shipping is buyer's responsibility, ut I will do my best to assist in the process.This is a very rare, orrect, ead-turning, ick in the butt to drive, eal American muscle car.
