Eliminators on the Market (October 2023)

Not a lot of movement on the Eliminators in the last few months. Wet weather has rolled in here for the time being, reminding me that summer is over and that it’s time to plan for those winter projects!

BEWARE OF SCAM LISTINGS OF ELIMINATORS FOR SALE!
Scammers are using pictures from legitimate listings (old and current) and passing them off as their car that is for sale, at prices well below market value. Always verify the car is real and the VIN is legitimate by checking with the CCOA or Eliminator Registry.
Also be sure to order your own Marti Report. Scammers have been doctoring Marti’s and changing VINs. Marti will not charge you for an invalid VIN.
Never send a deposit without confirming there is actually a real Eliminator associated with the listing.
And as always, remember that if it is too good to be true then it is probably a scam.

Woo! $70k for a 351 / auto… yow!

Last info I have on it was from 2020 out of Sarasota, FL, when it was listed for $57.5k (which is pretty steep too!). Looked pretty solid then, but it had lost the original '69 rear spoiler and had plugs installed in the original holes in the deck lid >.<

Here is a link to the previous sale listing;

Looks like they repaired / replaced the rear deck lid since the 2020 sale listing.

Will be interesting to see if Fast Lane learned their lesson after their overpay on the last Eliminator from these guys.

Wow. That’s sort of nuts to me. $220k for a car which while has the base interior with the wrong carpet, no front air dam, and most egregious of all - the rad overflow hose on top of the rad support bracket :wink:

Oh, there’s all sorts of things “wrong” with it for that price. I’d start with the body color underside.
Truthfully, I was surprised when it sold for $160k at auction last year. But I’m kinda picky about how I would spend that much money, LOL!
