Now here's a good car anyone looking for something unique.
Scott can speak much more intelligently about it than I can.

Everything that you want to know about a Mercury Cougar GT-E is contained here.

January 2011 a similar car sold for $165,000 at Barrett-Jackson.

If I could pick one 1960s era muscle car to own, a 1968 Mercury Cougar GT-E would be it. 427 or 428, I'm not picky.

The bidding stopped at $70,000 without meeting the reserve.

'69 Cougars are my FAVORITE. I once owned & drove one daily to work. (ANOTHER one I regret selling) It wasn't an XR or big block, but I think the best year/model, IMHO.

When I was 17 in the late 1970's I drove a green 1970 XR7 with a 351C 4V and that car would shred tires. I have always wanted an Eliminator with a 302.

Maybe I am not looking often enough or in the right places, but it seems the special edition Cougars very rarely come up for sale.

Here are some with 351s.

Are the Boss Eliminators more rare than the 351s?
