Eliminators on the Market (May 2012)

Mike_B_SVT · May 2, 2012, 9:49pm

Alot of new sales showed up at the end of April, and several “long time” listings appear to have sold (notably the Green Ontario CJ car and the White '69 in NJ).
Kijiji added a new function to allow easier searches by province, so expect more Kijiji links now and in the future.
Without further ado, here are the E-cats on the market as of May 2nd (Happy Birthday Mom!).

These listings are combed from popular sites (CraigsList, eBay, Hemmings, CarsOnLine, Kijiji). 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?59904-Eliminators-on-the-Market-(May-2012)

Exchanged an email with Jeff on his family Eliminator he’s trying to track down. FYI - he’s initiated a history request with Martiauto.

CL ad is for chicago area, but phone number listed and plates on car are Colorado…

Every cougar engine must have come from an Eliminator…

'69 390 “small block” from an Eliminator. Block only, in Ohio for $1k.
http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/cto/3025567840.html

Think i’ll email on this one and see if he’ll send me the VIN off the block. I’ll post it up if I get more on it.

Al_Bundy · May 22, 2012, 1:41am

I would guess he means short block. I’m not aware of any small block 390’s.

**I recall a past thread about this car mentioning it was rebodied. Do your research.

New price is $28.5k
