Eliminators on the Market (March)

Mike_B_SVT · March 5, 2012, 6:49pm

Spring is on its way. Had some sunshine here this weekend …but now it’s monday and the rain has returned. Yay.

Here are the E-cats on the market, combed from popular sites (CraigsList, eBay, Hemmings, CarsOnLine). 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?59259-Eliminators-on-the-Market-(March)&p=497709#post497709

I sent the link to Dave W. and he said “it looks correct from the photo”. So of course do your homework on that before you jump in. Seller also has it listed for sale on thier website.

Below you will find links to the older “Eliminator Market” threads so that folks can find sales history easier ~ especially for cars that have been listed off and on. Also, just because a car is not in the current Market thread does not mean that it is no longer available. I’ve also been saving almost all of the sale history, pics, etc for the cars listed, “just in case”.

'70 w/ 351, 4-speed. Comp orange, black comfort-weave interior. Original drivetrain gone, currently a 472(stroked 429) and C6. Owner may seperate car from engine, and has many of the original Eliminator items (missing drivetrain, rear swaybar, front spoiler, replacement hood and grille).

Another new one today.

'69 w/ 428 (R-code), 4-speed (currently a 5-speed). White with black interior. Sunroof. Very modified. No mention of documentation. In NY, by Legendary Motorcar Company for $54.9k

http://www.legendarymotorcar.com/site/390_1969_cougar_eliminator_cj428

The car is located at LMC just outside of Toronto, Ontario. LMC have the Marti Report saying it is a Eliminator, 428CJ, 4spd car… The car was featured in Muscle Car Review in July/August 2003 with a modified 428CJ & 5speed.

Edit: added direct link to LMC, as well as comment from Chuckty101 on MC.net

Mike_B_SVT · March 21, 2012, 4:08pm

Thanks Steven! Prorallye pointed it out on MC.net as well. He mentioned it was one that he was looking into in Cali last year.

Was listed on CL for $8k in June 2011 as a non-running car.
Looks like it has been cleaned up a bit. Still has that ding on the drivers side roof pillar. But the new owner put the console back in and spiffed up the interior.

It is also this car, from earlier this month:

'70 w/ 351, Auto. Currently Red(originally Comp Gold), black interior, console, PS, PB(?), Styled steel wheels. Seller has Marti Report. $15k in Phoenix.
Seller says it smokes on startup and needs tuned up.
http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/2885072374.html

It sold in the first week of listing. Poor quality CL pics looked red. I didn’t get a marti or VIN from the seller, and I didn’t recognize it earlier. Closer look at the pics and it is the same car.

I’m tempted to bid the $5k just on the crazy-wild-totally-unlikely chance I could win it for that! LOL!
