Classic Car Overview

Attention, classic car friends and enthusiasts! Here is a rare opportunity to own a piece of genuine automotive history: a 1969 Mercury Cougar Eliminator "Hertz Rent a Racer. You're looking at one of only 101 Sunroof Coupe Yellow/Whites ever made. Yeah, you read that right 101. This baby's got just 23,000 original miles on the clock. It's like finding a dinosaur egg that never hatched.

Let's talk provenance. This Cougar started life as a Hertz rental, offering lucky drivers a taste of muscle car glory for a weekend. As time went on, a Navy Commander recognized its potential and tucked it away in his Palm Springs summer home for over three decades. It's as close to a time capsule as you'll find in the classic car world.
Under the hood, you'll find the original 351-4V V8 paired with a smooth-shifting FMX Select Shift Automatic and a 3.0 rear end. The Ford Bright Yellow paint still turns heads, complemented by White Comfort-weave Vinyl Hi-Back Bucket Seats inside.
Now, let's address the elephant in the room yes, time has left its mark, but in ways that only add to this Cougar's authenticity. The exterior has some spot painting, a testament to its exciting rental car lineage. The headliner significantly shows its age, but we've kept it original. For the purists, we're including a new headliner with the sale if you decide to replace it. It's your call keep it as a preserved specimen or refresh it. Either way, you're getting a piece of history.
Good news for comfort-seekers: the A/C has been refurbished and blows cold, perfect for those summer cruises. And that rare power sunroof? It's not just for show it's fully operational, ready to let the sunshine in. Factory options abound: power steering, front disc brakes, center console, and even a remote control racing mirror. It's as if someone checked every box on the order form back in '69.
Documentation? We've got you covered. The original build sheet and invoice are included, validating this Cougar's impressive pedigree.
Recently, we gave this beauty a thorough once-over full clean and tune-up. She's ready to purr her way into your garage or, better yet, onto the open road where she belongs.
Look, this Cougar isn't for everyone. It's for the discerning collector who appreciates the delicate balance between preservation and restoration, who understands that every spot of wear tells a story. If that's you, don't wait. Cars like this with this level of rarity and history don't come around often.
Serious inquiries only, please. I have additional photos and documentation for committed buyers. This is your chance to own a true legend of American muscle. Let's get you behind the wheel of this extraordinary piece of automotive history. Give me a call.
