Thanks Mike. I’d love to have that '69 SCJ in Canada but at $85k, its just not realistic IMO. It should probably be closer to 55-60k due to the wrong paint but I feel like it’s a super nice car. Just need to put eyes on it. I’d keep it black and drive it :sunglasses:

I bet that would be a fun driver :slight_smile:

Unfortunately, I think that one is not nearly as original as the seller believes. They sent me the casting date from the block, which was after the build date. But they didn’t want to hear about how M = December, and not March.

I’d really love to get a chance to go over the car in person and share some info with them (basic stuff, since I’m no expert!), but they are just too far away for that to be realistic.

Eliminator is Sold. Had a great time today with the new owner and his father. And, with respect, will let him announce the purchase. Thank you. :thumbup:



Congrats! Can’t wait to meet the new owners!
