1970 Mercury Cougar "Copy Cat" Eliminator Tribute / Restomod

Description

Where do we begin? This is a well-known car in the Cougar community known as "Copy Cat". Normally, here at West Coast Classic Cougar, we focus on stock, original Cougars, and let others have the fun of resto-modding. But this one-of-a-kind 1970 Cougar belongs to a friend of ours, and he's unfortunately needing to sell due to a piling on of family emergencies. James has been very passionate about this car, but is ready to move it on to a new home. He wrote a nice story about his journey and restoration which you can read here, when he won "Ride Of The Month" at Classic Cougar Community in November 2013.
Before we make a list of bullet points, you'll get the most in-depth, detailed description of the car from the video Andrew put together below.
