Eliminators on the Market (December 2016)

Wow, another year almost gone. With the “Holiday of your choice” (hey, I don’t judge) right around the corner, it’s time to do some shopping for the Cougar-lover on your list - even if that means shopping for yourself (hey, I don’t judge)! It’s also time to get those projects well underway so we can start wrapping them up in the next few months. We gots Anniversary shows to do next year! Woot!

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/
