Eliminators on the Market (April 2018)

Well, so much for reassembling things in a timely manner. Spring is here and I’m pretty much still in the same place I was last month. Have a few parts that need painted, but the weather just hasn’t been working to match my schedule :-/ Ah well, shows here won’t start for a while yet, so I have some time. But not much!

As always, if you know of an Eliminator for sale or are looking for an Eliminator, please feel free to post here, or contact me. I’ll do my best to help you find the Eliminator you are looking for, or help find a new home for your Eliminator, if possible. Send me a PM or email me directly at: EliminatorSearch@CougarClub.org

Also, be sure to check out the Eliminator Owners and Enthusiast group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/473220306059769/
You don’t need to have a Facebook account or be a group member to browse!

Don’t be shy about commenting or asking about a car in the list. Folks here are always happy to help answer questions or concerns.
