Eliminators on the Market (August 2017)

One just turned up in my backyard.

“1969 Cougar Eliminator 351 cu in, four Barrel, FMX auto, Dual exhaust. Low Miles. not running needs restoration. $12,000 or best offer. no low ball offers (I can always post it on EBay).”

I’ll report back after I look at it.

https://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/cto/d/moving-sale/6268565298.html

Why can’t he wash this poor thing before trying to sell it?

I bet he took more time blocking out the license number then a quick wash would have taken. I hope this one finds a new home fast.

What’s the story on this one? According to their web site the drawing was supposed to be June 24th.

Did not sell enough tickets. I believe it has been pushed to a later date.

I would get it running, put tires on it, wash it and drive it. I like it…

Have you seen it? I have tried to see this car since it was posted. The guy responds via email but always has some excuse for not being available. Won’t send his phone number despite me sending mine.

John, I haven’t seen the car. The seller was out of town over the weekend and said he would call but I never heard back…



Yeah, I’ve been playing email tag with the guy as well. Just sent a new email this morning to try and get in contact with the guy.
If I lived closer I’d drive by and knock on his door, LOL! …probably get chased away with a shotgun or have the dogs sic’d on me too!

Here is a new eBay listing…

'70 w/ 351, Auto. Competition Green, Black Decor Interior. “Survivor”. Marti Report. In CT.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/192284471414
0F91M508733

Just heard back from him. Someone is looking at it tonight. Don’t know who. I hope to be the next one. He says he is going in order people contacted him.

John, if you can, please at least get a VIN for this one so that we can update the Eliminator Registry and tag the pics in the database.

Just got an email reply via CL “Sorry it sold”.
