Had a good time in Scottsdale last month - it was great to finally meet so many people that I only “know” via email and the forums!
Wow, the Eliminator market sure slimmed down after the high-dollar auctions last month! Lets see what sold…

Sometimes the cars from old listings are still available even though they are no longer listed. If you are looking for an Eliminator feel free to send me a PM or an email and I’ll look through my files to see if I can find something to meet your needs.
If you are on Facebook, be sure to check out the Eliminator Owners and Enthusiast page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/473220306059769/
These listings are combed from various popular sites (CraigsList, eBay, Hemmings, CarsOnLine, Kijiji), and a few obscure ones. Feel free to comment about an Eliminator listed here (or elsewhere), and if you know of or have an Eliminator for sale please feel free to add it to the list.
