Eliminators on the Market (June 2015)

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/

SOLD! Congratulations to the new owner!

Here is a video of it being loaded on the truck: https://www.facebook.com/hubstang/videos/vb.1103907004/10204522863887293/?type=3

The seller also posted that “I have been informed that after confirming spark plug and cyl. condition and with some carburetor gaskets, It purrs like a kitten.”

This '69 G code just popped up. Not much info in the listing, unfortunately.

OK, I’ll expose my ignorance…what exactly is a “CROSS BOSS”???

One of the Intake manifold systems that was used in the T/A series. Has a 850 cfm inline Autolite carb. The intake and carb together sells around $7,000 to $10,000.

That close to being done it would seems like he would finish it and then sell. Going to leave a lot of money on the table not completing the last 5%.

:astonished: holy crow. Thanks for the info, Brian.

Price reduced to $22k…

Yeah, there has to be more to story! Or could the world be coming to the realization that a '69 Boss Eliminator is a VERY rare car?
