Eliminators on the Market (December 2022)

Hope your winter project plans are going smoothly. Eliminator market is getting very tight! Not many cars to choose from.

BEWARE OF SCAM LISTINGS OF ELIMINATORS FOR SALE!
Scammers are using pictures from legitimate listings (old and current) and passing them off as their car that is for sale, at prices well below market value. Always verify the car is real and the VIN is legitimate by checking with the CCOA or Eliminator Registry.
Also be sure to order your own Marti Report. Scammers have been doctoring Marti’s and changing VINs. Marti will not charge you for an invalid VIN.
Never send a deposit without confirming there is actually a real Eliminator associated with the listing.
And as always, remember that if it is too good to be true then it is probably a scam.

1969 Mercury Cougar Eliminator 428 Cobra Jet Ram Air - cars & trucks… (craigslist.org)

That 69 428 Eliminator just sold in April on BaT for $65k. I think that ad on CL may be a scammer.

SOLD

Hammered sold for $160k!

Was that one of 2 Mike J had? Good to see strong $

The Mecum car was not Mike J’s. Mecum car (0F91Q507482) was the “other” comp blue CJ Eliminator that sold at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction where Joe Valenti’s SCJ restored by KTL was sold. Don did a walk around of it at the 2013 auction.

https://youtu.be/DSTl_tTz_Wo?t=86

Mike J’s old car was actually sold back in November for $150k.

So apparently that is the current market value for a very nice comp blue CJ Eliminator!

Mike had 2 cats, did both get sold?

No, he just sold one.

Very rusty…
