29. Mercury Cougar Eliminator Boss 302
Despite being a twin brother to the Mustang, the Mercury Cougar gained a cult following, managing to create a name of its own in the late ‘60s. But for the 1969 muscle car wars, the Mercury had something special: the Cougar Eliminator.
The Cougar Eliminator was the top-of-the-line model with several interesting engine choices. You could get the Boss 302 engine, a high revving 5.0-liter V8 in a slightly bigger body with more luxury features. However, more buyers optioned for the bigger 351 or 428 Cobra Jet engine, making the Eliminator Boss 302 quite rare. However, in two years, 1969 and 1970, Mercury made only 638 of those great machines.
