Classic muscle cars are easily some of the most desirable classic cars that are out there. Bring a Trailer regularly has an amazing selection available for people to put bids on. One absolute beauty currently listed is this 1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator 428 Super Cobra Jet. Located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, this awesome car was according to the listing built in October 1969. It comes in a very striking yellow and black livery with a might Super Cobra Jet V8 engine.
Competition Yellow Helps This Cougar Stand Out
What helps this particular Cougar Eliminator stand out is the striking livery. The car is in Competition Yellow, a livery it has worn from the factory, and the seller states that the car underwent a repaint in the 1990s. Across the body are black Eliminator stripes and lettering, plus a blacked out grille. A very cool feature are the retractable headlight covers, and the Eliminator comes with a hood scoop and a rear wing. The windshield is apparently not a factory item, and to protect the paint a car cover will also come as part of the sale.
A Black Interior With Bucket Seats
Inside the Eliminator is a black interior, with high-backed bucket seats that are nicely split by a center console. The console has a faux wood accent, while also trimmed in black vinyl in order to match the door panels and the carpets in the Eliminator. There are plenty of amenities for a car from the 1970s, such as the AM radio and the dash clock. Sadly, the clock according to the listing is not functional, so would require some work to get it going again.
Beautiful Super Cobra Jet V8 Under The Hood
Under the hood of this stunning car is that 428ci Super Cobra Jet V8 engine. The engine has a single four-barrel carburetor that drives the rear wheels via a C6 three-speed automatic transmission. The transmission also has a 3.91:1 Traction-Lok differential. In terms of the mileage of the car, the five-digit odometer shows just 31,000 miles, but it is possible that it has done more miles than that.

At the time of writing, the bidding stood at $54,500.
