Congrats! Thanks for the update, I’ll remove it from next month’s list.

Thanks Waterlife! That one is 0F91M521002, which has been listed for a few months now. It looks pretty solid, aside from the floor issues, which are pretty typical. The price seems reasonable, and hopefully the original paint can be saved. Not sure why this one is lingering…

Hey mike, I just picked up the 69 rolling shell from “johns classic cougar”! Not much more than a rolling shell! But I have my 1st eliminator and most of the parts in my stash to build it! It did come with the build sheet and original owners manual! So let the games begin!!

Awesome! Congrats!! Be sure to post up some pics as you make progress - I know we would all love to follow along!

Thanks! Just saw that one this morning too! The seller had previously posted it on Facebook for $10k and had a few people jump up to buy it. He back pedalled, but has now listed it on CL for a bit more. I expect he will haggle down a bit if a buyer is determined.

I’ve seen pics of the car ~ basically the same as in his ad. If I were a buyer I would want to see pics of the floors and torque boxes, and also try to learn if the car is still “numbers matching”. Otherwise it is a desireable combination that rarely comes up for sale.
