Eliminators on the Market (July 2015)

Not enough hours in the day sometimes…

The listings below are combed from various popular sites (CraigsList, eBay, Hemmings, CarsOnLine, Kijiji), and a few obscure ones, as well as from Facebook posts and the occasional email. 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.

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/

This thread also appears on the Mercury Cougar forum.
