Eliminators on the Market (March 2017)

There were a few more Eliminator sales in the last month. It also looks like some really strong prices on 351 cars! I pulled a few of the really old listings as I’ve heard from a few folks that they haven’t been able to make contact with the sellers.

Congrats to Matt, who purchased 9F91M581758, a Bright Yellow '69 Eliminator, last month!
Also congratulations to 67429Merc, who picked up the rolling shell of 9F91M564136, from John’s Classic Cougars last month! Hopefully we’ll see this Blue Metallic '69 Eliminator back on the road soon!

Keep an eye out for some BIG news on this one from the SoCal Cougar Club! YOU CAN’T BUY THIS CAR ANYWHERE… >.>

Hey Mike, Scott Hendershot sold his car!

Thanks for the update! I’ll edit the list.

http://www.autozin.com/1970-mercury-cougar-eliminator---7000--gillette--1351251-atzlisting?utm_source=Claz&utm_medium=CPC&utm_campaign=global&trmsource=clazoutfeed

Thanks Waterlife!

That is an old listing from a few years ago that has been recycled by an automotive website. It was originally posted on Craigslist, probably around 2010 or 2012 when I first started tracking - I neglected to record the date at the time.

I have it filed as an unconfirmed '69, but it may be a '70 clone. It LOOKS like it has a '69 hood and side markers, but the pic quality is pretty low. Certainly has the Cougar script on the rear quarters, which is not a good sign.

But hey, the guy may still have the car - you never know! Give him a call and see what he says :wink:

Driver door was replaced w/ a 69…

Ah, looks like rivet holes from the '69 door tag. They placed the repro door tag in the wrong place too ~ should be up at the top, from what I’ve seen on other cars.

Why can’t people clean up before taking pics?

Too much undercoating trying to hide replaced floor pan(s).

Wonder what else they are hiding?

Owner just confirmed the other hole is present under the repo door tag sticker. He was unaware but will update the listing.

also has a mustang tire sticker instead of cougar?

I like this one:

I agree Kim! For the price, I’m suprised this one hasn’t sold yet. I think it is inline with previous non-matching CJ / Auto Eliminator prices, but maybe the mods are holding it back? IMO, while it is not “correct”, it still has a “factory appearance” about it (so long as you don’t look underneath and spy the subframe connectors!).
