Eliminators on the Market (June 2012)

Spring time! Lots of E-cats selling, and a few new ones popping up here and there.

These listings are combed from popular sites (CraigsList, eBay, Hemmings, CarsOnLine, Kijiji, and others). As always, if you know of an Eliminator for sale please feel free to add it to the list. Or if you have any info / details or other general comments about an Eliminator listed here (or elsewhere) please feel free to pass along that info.

I’ve also linked this thread on MC.net, here: http://www.mercurycougar.net/forums/showthread.php?60247-Eliminators-on-the-Market-(June-2012)

I talked to the owner of the white one in Chicago. It needs some body repair, LH quarter is lightly hit over the wheelwell and there are rust bubbles on one of the doors. Might still be a good deal for the right buyer, but its not for me.

Thanks for the info Ed!

New listing on eBay and on CL;


70 351 w/ 3-speed. Comp Yellow with black interior. Located in Georgia for $9.8k

That is about as base as you could possibly get in 1970.

LOL! Yeah, and still have something sporty :slight_smile:

I like this car just the way it is as far as condition, patina. Swap out the trans for a 4sp in an afternoon and have a blast.

I think I would be tempted to knock out some of the dents a bit, maybe get that back quarter smoothed out and painted just so it doesn’t rust out.
Get some seat skins, headliner and arm rests so that it looks “complete”…

Y’know, I think I’d even keep the 3-speed in it just for conversation.

Guys, I actually bought this car. Like I usually say I have no business with another car, but is was such a decent original car and it was LOCAL!! I could not resist going to look at it. Seller was a nice guy who was very accomodating; made me a good deal and threw in a boatload of extra parts so he made it impossible not to buy it. It was a good deal all around and I am very pleased with the car condition and its originality!! Gonna get thorough clean up done on it this weekend and tend to a few things it needs. I will post pics later…

69Shelby

Mark can I have it?

Yours for the asking Kerry…

Drop me an email on it.

Grabber Blue isn’t my favorite Eliminator color, but I have to say Grabber Blue + Ginger is pretty cool.
