Eliminators on the Market (May 2012)

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)
