Awesome Eliminator. Super clean underbody which is great. Plus, it's got the white interior that you wanted. What a find!
Its truly in great shape for being unrestored/parked outside. Thanks for the comment !
Very Very cool find àusum 😊😊😊
Great job getting those Boss cars out and back home where they can be preserved. I bet that was in the high desert which helped to preserve those cars.
I had a 1969 Boss 302 Eliminator ... I certainly miss it a great deal. I bought it new in Panama City Florida in early 1970. It was yellow with white interior ... Here's hoping you get the sexy cat back on the road.
Looks really good, will be awesome if y'all find the build sheet in good shape
I'd kill to find an original build sheet as I've yet to find one
Not Even the Slightest Hint of Acknowledgment or Embarrassment at being So Hopelessly ill Prepared! Thats a True Millennial Right There!👍
thanks for the comment
Luv the mustang i have 71 Mach 1 351 c cj man 4 gabber blue cheers guys 😊
That was a great find man! Congratulations on both of those cars.
Thank you!
Congratulations on being able to find & purchase these rare jewels!
Thanks!
Back about ten years ago my buddy sold a 25,000 mi 70 Mercury cyclone GT spoiler with the 429 orange with black stripe for 25 Grand. Right now that cars close to 100. Grand. Just goes to show
i love seeing them saved !
Awesome scores man! I saw those NOS valve covers n my mind scattered.
Will be watching updates!
Great job, absolutely Love the Cougar, even better that you got the Eliminator as well!
Absolutely awesome 👍❤️🇺🇸
Great Find.. Best of luck with the work to get these back on the road.
I actually looked at these two cars a little over 10 years ago. You are loading them up a few miles outside Riverton, WY. A friend of mine ( he didn't know what exactly they were ) told me about them and I made a trip up to look at them. My friend and I did a very short once over. At that time the owner wouldn't even put a price on them.
He wuz gunna fix em up someday.... Hoarders
Awesome find. I don't know how you found these but you scored some pretty rare cars. The cougar community will/is proud you rescued these.
Thank you Pat
Wow you don't find cars like this Mustang & the Cougar much anymore! Twenty years ago I was finding cool barn finds all the time but now days not so much! Outstanding, I just subscribed and hope to see what you do with these cars!
Thanks !
I tried 20 years ago to buy these from Danny and continued for probably 15 years till he didn't get our much and my nephew tried to buy them just a few months before Danny passed
That’s crazy. Do you know the history with Danny and the cars like when he bought them?
@thecougareliminatorden1622 I don't know the total history him and I where both Ford guys in a town full of chevy guys we used to trade parts I had a 69 mustang Mach 1
@@thecougareliminatorden1622 I know he had both cars when I met him in the late 80s or early 90s
Kumpf car! Very cool! Floors are in great shape! Looks like easy body work on that one :-)
Yeah, not sure yet on what path we’ll take but it’s a great car
Guys... Looking at the Owner's manual info written in at 53 seconds in... As I am sure you know by now.....SHOULD have had a "V" code 3.91 Track-Lok rear axle with N-case and 31 spline axles... The speedometer reducer unit you pointed out still on the tranny points to either factory 3.91s or 4:30s. My W-code rear axle 1970 BOSS 302 had 4:30s, N-case, 31 spline axles, Detroit Locker and that reducer too, with the engine oil cooler up front. Looking at the "bathtub" in the end of the axles I can tell you it's a standard 28 spline axle set. Full face but not nodular N-case carrier could have come from a lot of other applications, like a 1/2 ton truck, a big ass heavy boat with a big block up front, etc. Sadly, a LOT of performance street cars during/after the Arab oil embargo of 1973-1974 and soaring gas prices/gas rationing, forced a many owners to swap the rear axles/final drive ratio from VERY low gearing like the 3.91s/4.11s/4.30s to more freeway/gas sipping ratios of 3.00 to 2.79. Sad. Hope you guys got the missing rear end parts located for your restoration. :) Randy C-17A
I haven’t filmed an update on the boss eliminator but we bought a complete 31 spline 3.91 trac lok N case rear end while we were in Phoenix for auction week
@@thecougareliminatorden1622 GREAT you located a correct rear end for your project! Was that block in the trunk the original one for the car? Looking forward with great interest on your update video! Would love to follow your adventure as you go along... In a past life I was a big FORD nut in the late 70s and 80s. Once owned a 71 BOSS 351, a 69 BOSS 429 project car, two 70 BOSS 302s....one a project and one a complete, original, good driving W-code car that's now in Australia. Loved them all for what they were.....and are today. If I told you what I paid for them each back then (and sold them for too) would blow your mind. Still blows mine. :) Randy C-17A
I love these cars. Sold my 1970 Cougar Eliminator 351-C, auto in Yellow to my cousin, 100% complete. One of the few collectible where the higher displacement (351-C) has less than a small block (Boss 302). I had to choose between my 1968 Ford Mustang GT fastback in Highland Green and pony won out.
#Eliminator
The boss engine is certainly badass. One of the coolest factory installed engines from that era IMO. I think you made the right choice keeping the FB 👍
@@thecougareliminatorden1622 One more note: the 70 Eliminator shares the wooden shifter handle with the automatic Shelby Mustangs.
I owned a 1970 Ford Mustang, Grabber Orange Boss 429, 4 speed, back when I was 19 years old. A long time ago. Sold it to get married. Should have kept the car and got rid of the woman. Looks like high dessert Wyoming. Very nice find.
Riverton WY
Ha ha, I sold my 70 coup when I got married 😂
Save the roundeye squarebody too!!😭😭
I wish we could’ve. My dad has a 73 K10 Stepside
@@thecougareliminatorden1622 I sure hope someone does! Sad to see it sit
should be a crime to leave these to rot.....
bingo for you
You cought your friend peeing on the fence..... awesome...
Have you ever seen a light aqua colored cougar
My ‘69 XR7 donor car is Aqua on white
how do people just leave them sit outside like that all these years?
Early in the video, air cleaner base in the trunk of the Cougar is something Maier Racing made and sold in the 70's. It uses a 68 style Shelby oval lid.
Nice solid cars!
Thank you for the info!
Instead of the blog pay attention that your turn signal was on the whole time you were talking about getting the cars on the trailer
Maybe you should rewatch it. The trailer had a flat and I was driving 30mph with my flashers on
Restore😢
Nice find, two conversations during commentary is very distracting
i always hesitate to offer advice to someone doing a job and posting videos but being very old, 81, and having done just about anything auto related since 1955, i just wanted to offer a little bit that might make the next load easier. i don't like things like fix a flat for several reasons, but a gas powered small compressor and a big can of slime will make some of the worst tires roll to get loaded. also the 4 1/2 bolt pattern is the same for most ford, merc, dodge cars and small trucks, chrysler, plymouth, and many other makes, for when you are looking for something to load with.
Yes our situation isn’t ideal being that we don’t have any of our own tools due to flying into location. Buying sets of cheap tires isn’t exactly ideal as they are trash
What's the plan with the Boss 302?
I think we’re going to clean it up and sell
Man, I just can’t figure why cars like this are just left to rot?
Not sure why they were left outside but I think the owner didn’t have space so he parked them at his dads
What happened to these cars?
Have them both. The Mustang is for sale $35K
@@thecougareliminatorden1622 wish I would have known, just bought a 1970 Boss shell with all metal work done. Does the Mustang run, and how’s the rust?
@@nicpary7078 it does not run. The body is pretty good, will need some floor work and a trunk lid. It’s orig paint except for passenger door
I’m not a ford guy, but I would drive the hell out of that boss 302
