2015 is here! Time to clean out all the various old expired listings. Often the cars in those 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 see if I can find something that you might like.
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 others). As always, if you know of or have an Eliminator for sale please feel free to add it to the list. Or if you have any details or comments about an Eliminator listed here (or elsewhere) please feel free to share that info.
