Eliminators on the Market (December 2019)

Had a blast at MCACN last month! It was great meeting, and hanging out with the Cougar gang there!
Been doing some minor projects so far this fall. Installed the LED conversion kit for the taillights and turn signals (yay!), and also installed a headlight relay kit and halogen lamps. Also sent off my fuel sending unit to Bill Basore for restoration - it looks like a brand new unit! Thanks Bill :slight_smile:

Seller has this on Letgo. Price drop to $24.5K

According to the Facebook listing, this one sold last week:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/it … 279710419/

Wonder why this one has not sold it looks like a nice car and a decent price.

'70 w/ 351, 4-speed (wide-ratio). Competition Green, Black Decor Interior (originally Houndstooth). Docs. In TX for $36.5k
https://www.facebook.com/groups/4732203 … 589598721/

Which one? 0F91M507739 - pastel blue ($32k)? Or 0F91M515205 - competition green ($36.5k)?

The pastel blue car, I think is being held back because it needs some “touch up” / sweat equity put into it. It would benefit from a good, deep detailing. Replace the tweaked rear bumper, pull the taillights and repaint them (blackout the tail panel while you’re at it), replace the trunk trim black out tape. Underside looks great, IMO. Probably needs some various maintenance / repairs on the AC, brakes, etc. Spend the winter cleaning it up and sorting it out, then drive it all summer with a smile on your face. Jeez, if it were closer to me I’d try to work a deal on it, but I’d go broke shipping it across the country >.<

The comp green car, I’ve heard that the seller can be difficult to get in touch with. I recommend contacting his daughter via the FB link.

Oops
The competition green one.

Mike - you can ship it cross country for <2k. :smiley:

Yeah, but they’d still have to come waaay down for it to be worthwhile for me :-/

My understanding is that it is a non-matching numbers drivetrain. Also incorrect interior (should be B&W Houndstooth). It’s probably those things and other details that are holding it back from a sale.

Still available…
