Eliminators on the Market (April 2021)

Spring is here! Hope you are getting out, doing your shake-down cruises and getting set for a Spring and Summer full of car stuff! We have a lot to make up for after last year :-/

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.

So what’s the story on how 0F91G546376 ended up with brown houndstooth (and apparently one other Eliminator did as well)? Brown isn’t shown as an option for Eliminators in my '70 upholstery book.

There’s one other Eliminator accounted for in Comp Gold with Brown Houndstooth (also a Boss 302), and one with special paint / brown houndstooth. There are also a handful of recorded Eliminators with Ginger Decor interior.

You could order an Eliminator in any interior trim that was available for the Standard Hardtop, but certain combinations were considered “off standard”. Dealers didn’t typically place Stock type orders for “off standard” combinations, but a customer could walk in and order them (Retail order type). The brown interior cars that I have data for were Retail orders (customer specifically ordered the car in that configuration), and one that was a Dealer Demo.

Interestingly, another “off standard” combination is Competition Blue with Blue interior (1B or 5B). I guess Ford figured that was too much blue in one place. And that’s why we don’t see many in that color combination either!
