GreenLight | 1:64 Scale | 13300B-48

The 1969 Mercury Cougar Eliminator represented Mercury’s higher-performance muscle car direction during the peak of the American muscle era. Based on the Cougar platform but styled with a longer, more upscale appearance than the Mustang, the Eliminator package added aggressive trim, spoilers, performance branding, and bold factory colors that made it stand out on the street and at the drag strip.

• 1969 Mercury Cougar Eliminator casting
• Blue metallic finish with Eliminator graphics
• Rear spoiler and hood scoop details
• BFGoodrich Radial T/A tire lettering
• GreenLight GL Muscle Series 25 release

This GreenLight GL Muscle Series 25 release features the Cougar Eliminator in metallic blue with period-correct striping, chrome trim, styled wheels, hood scoop detailing, and the signature rear spoiler that became closely associated with Eliminator models. The low stance and long-body proportions help capture the more refined but still aggressive identity Mercury gave the Cougar during the late 1960s.

In 1:64 scale, the model recreates the hidden-headlight front-end styling, muscular quarter panels, slim body lines, and distinctive pony car proportions that separated the Cougar from its Ford Mustang relative. The Eliminator remains one of the most collectible Cougar variants from the muscle car era, especially among Ford and Mercury enthusiasts looking for something less commonly seen than traditional Mustang castings.
