[Jmaracing]

Sharp looking build!!

[gtx6970]

Cool.

But didnt Ford actually build two Boss 9 Cougars...that eventually were retaged as 1970 models.

Yes they did, not to take away from the fact this is one sweet build though.

 

 

Officially, Ford never stuffed its Boss 429 V-8 between the fenders of a Mercury Cougar, but that’s not to say that none were built in this configuration. In fact, two cars destined for the drag strip ran the feared engine, and one of them will appear at this year’s Ford Carlisle.

As the Super Stock ranks featured more and more factory support in the late 1960s, Ford, looking for a competitive edge against Chrysler, commissioned skunk works builder Kar Kraft to build two 1969 Boss 429 Mercury Cougars and then sold them to drag racers “Dyno Don” Nicholson and “Fast Eddie” Schartman for the princely sum of $1 each.

I'm looking for a 70 Cougar for my next idea Marty

Great idea and nice execution. You asked for comments--I think the concept would work even better with the big Boss 9 hood scoop. That would REALLY get the point across.

Yeah it seems like that scoop says it all alright. Nice idea and good work.

There were three Boss 429 Cougars. The two white 1969 R-codes that went to Dyno & Fast Eddie, and there was also a 1970 Eliminator prototype used for maqazine road test duty.

 

[bbowser]

I think this is really cool, well worth the effort!

[Brutalform]

Very nice car. I've been on a Ford kick lately, and I enjoy seeing a nice cougar build.
