This, the last issue of 1981, is going to be sort of dedicated to all of the Eliminator owners and past or future owners of Eliminators. Although most of our current members of the Cougar Club of America know of the Cougar Eliminator, if not by owning one, or knowing of some one who does own one, or possibly just seeing them advertised in Hot Rod magazine, or road tested in one of the other various magazines. The Cougar Eliminator normally doesn't ring a bell in the mind of the average automotive enthusiast. It doesn't appear in L-M production figures that our competition publishes. It doesn't either have its own body identification code as the XR-7 or the convertibles do. Thus, the Cougar Eliminator is a tough one to track down and verify as being originally buit as an Eliminator. Jim Rakowsky, our club historian, and Kirk Youngberg, of the Cougar Eliminator Registry, have helped me to put together this primer for our members on just what is a Cougar Eliminator. First, I'd like to share with you what it feels like to be the wife of a Cougar Eliminator owner.
