Eliminators on the Market (Sept 2013)

Trying to stay on the ball for September ~ only a few days late. I miss summertime already.

These listings are combed from popular sites (CraigsList, eBay, Hemmings, CarsOnLine, Kijiji, and others). As always, if you know of or have an Eliminator for sale please feel free to add it to the list. Or if you have any details or 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?71586-Eliminators-on-the-Market-(Sept-2013)

Ok, latest listing…

'70 w/351, auto. Comp orange, houndstooth interior. No docs mentioned. In Chicago, for $23k(?)
http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/cto/4045363195.html

*Possibly a clone ~ hood scoop and rear spoiler are the wrong colors and the houndstooth doesn’t look right (but the pics are not great), missing Eliminator script on the rear quarters, missing front spoiler.
On the plus side, it has the high back buckets, passenger mirror, the rock guard is blacked out (missed on alot of clones), right gas door cover, and no “Cougar” script on the rear quarters.

Spoke with the owner and exchange some messages with a fellah on MC.net who inspected the car (his comment here: http://www.mercurycougar.net/forums/showthread.php?71586-Eliminators-on-the-Market-(Sept-2013)&p=593242#post593242).

Not a clone: Owner has an original sales sheet / invoice for the car that lists the Eliminator option. He would like “$5k - $10k” for it. It sounds like it is a running, driving car that needs body and paint. He has owned it since '96 and bought it from a lady who had purchased it in '90.
Other options include: PS / PB / AM radio (currently missing). It shows 20,300 miles, not the 23k mentioned in the ad.

A few that are still available / relisted;

Not sure what is holding this one back. Seems like a great car for the price.

Maybe it’s the level of care that the dirty carpet and the dust all over the engine displays. Or maybe it’s the complete lack of a description in the auction. Or maybe it’s just because it’s yellow.

Yeah, a little dusty. I would think a car cover would help with that. As for the yellow… that’s cool :slight_smile:
