Boss 302. The styling of the Mustang is much cleaner with the fast back roofline IMO.

Boss 302. The facelifted '70 Cougar was a step backwards from the 1969 IMO.

I’m going with the not so common Cougar. 😎

Guys, I couldn't type COUGAR fast enough! OMG! I was absolutely gaga over the Cougar's and though the Mustang is okay, it just pales in comparison. And in that Yellow/Black color combo it is the REAL BOSS!

I AGREE....MUSTANG STYLING WINS EASILY.

Chose the Mustang. Love the '67 & '68 Cougar & loved the '68 & '69 Mustang [Boss 429].

@georgeschire I agree with you George. It was a tough decision though.

Since I was fortunate enough to own a new 1970 Cougar in 1970, at the age of 19, it is beyond a no-brainer for me. I loved that car! Of course after 10 years of NYC and New Jersey winters the love affair was over but that's another story.

I chose the Mercury, don't like the headlight treatment of the Mustang.
