Eliminators on the Market (March 2015)

The Marketplace Classic Cougars for Sale
1

Spring is right around the corner. It’s time to start wrapping up the bigger projects and get down to fine tuning!

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/

These listings are combed from various popular sites (CraigsList, eBay, Hemmings, CarsOnLine, Kijiji), and a few obscure ones. 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.

Not much to go on in this ad:
https://fayar.craigslist.org/cto/4929437200.html
But it appears to be a legit, if extremely rough, '70 Eliminator. Would be nice if the seller had addressed minor details like engine size and asking price. But its in my neck of the woods, so if anyone is seriously interested, I could probably check it out.

Hi Jay! Thanks for pointing that one out.

This one was previously listed on CraigsList in March 2014. Pics are the same ones from the last time it was listed.
It was located in the Greensboro, NC area.

0F91M514684 - 1970 Eliminator, 351C / 3-speed, Competition Gold / Black Standard Interior.
I talked to the owner at that time and was told: manual drum brakes, manual steering, no console, tach and clock present, original radio is missing, original glass, original engine and transmission, original interior (front seats are “busted” but back seats are ok), dash is “gone” (bad condition), some rust in the quarters and trunk, floors are “hard” and body is “hard”. He was the 2nd owner and had purchased it in Aug 1975. Car had been sitting since 1989.

Interesting. Not in my vicinity after all. Seller was probably looking for the Fayetteville, NC Craigslist and wound up posting on the Fayetteville, AR one by mistake.
