In a tale that combines love, dreams, and a splash of bright Competition Orange, Gord and Kelly Nelson embarked on a journey to fulfill Gord’s bucket list with the acquisition of a 1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator CJ 428. When Gord spotted the ad for his dream car, his wife Kelly, with the enthusiasm of a race car pit crew, urged him, “Well, you better go get it!” Thus began their adventure with this classic muscle car, a roaring testament to both nostalgia and marital encouragement.
Rev up your nostalgia engines as we cruise back to 1969, the third year of the Mercury Cougar’s production—where the muscle car magic gets an upgrade! Say goodbye to the horizontal bars and hello to the sleek, concave tail lights that make the rear look like it’s ready to pounce. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any cooler, this feline beauty offers a convertible option. Under the hood? A 350 Windsor standard, but why not go big with a 390 or 427? Buckle up, it’s a wild ride!
