I decided to post up the '69 Eliminator production numbers in thier own thread instead of including it in the “Looking for Elite Marti Reports” thread because I think it will be easier for folks to find this way. I’ll most likely move the '70 numbers to thier own thread when time permits.
If you have an Elite Marti Report for your Cougar Eliminator please consider sharing the production breakdown information so that we can better populate the database. Feel free to post your information here, or in the “Looking for Elite Marti Reports” thread, or PM me, or email me directly at mbanks -at- nikon -dotcom. If you are concerned about your VIN number you can leave it out or block it out your picture.

Mike, looks interesting. Is there any way to find out how many were shipped to Canada? I was told at the time I bought mine that Canada would only get 10% of production, being about 225. Any way to verify that?
Thanks.
Hi Harry, I think to get those numbers you would have to take it up with Mr. Marti. I know that he provides a research service, and since he has ALL the info he should be able to find out how many went to Canada.
I found an article that mentions Canadian '69 Eliminators. I thought you might find it interesting. It says 100 Eliminators shipped to Canada for 1969.
Updated '69 Boss 302 numbers, adding 10 white cars, 6 with blue interior, for the close-ratio 4-speed cars.
I also removed the “16? White (M)” boss 302 cars total, as I have no data to confirm this number. Based on 10 white close-ratio Boss cars, I think 16 total is wrong.
Got a slew of Marti Reports from Diego, so I’m going through them and updating the stats.
Thanks Diego!
Updated 390 / auto / White (27 of them) / Blue interior number (8 of them)
Updated 390 / auto / White (27 of them) / Black interior numbers (17 of them)
Math says 17+8=25, leaving 2 white on white 390 auto Eliminators.
Also added R-code / 4spd / Orange / White Interior drag pak numbers
