This one was Jim Stangner’s CJ. It has a documented history.
“During the first seven years that he owned the car Mr. Stagner entered his outstanding Cougar against Chevelles, Camaros, GTXs, Road Runners, GTOs and 442s in 47 races and took home 45 trophies”.
Washington Times 3/15/02

“It held the quickest time in NHRA G pure stock (stick and automatic) of 13.69 and 104 and later AHRA F showroom stock automatic at 13.50 106,” he says. “Cars with slicks and headers and stuff were quicker, but of the off-the-showroom-floor cars, it was the quickest.”
“I ran trophy 47 times and won 45 times. I won my class in the Ford Drag Club Northern Nationals. I have trophies from Fremont, VacaValley, Irwindale, Oklahoma City Raceway, Frontier Raceway, and Connecticut Raceway.”
I can find links if wanted.

P.S. Mike, get dressed before you go to work.LOL.

Not mine; found this while cruising CL:

https://norfolk.craigslist.org/cto/d/hampton-1969-cougar-xr-7-eliminator/7101521500.html

9R91M507277 is not an Eliminator. All Eliminators were built in Dearborn (second character will be an F)
It is also not an XR7.

Not to mention the 507277 would be too low a number as well for an Eliminator.
