Eliminators on the Market (February 2019)

Another Phoenix auction season behind us and it seems like the Eliminator market is holding steady. There are a lot of Eliminators currently for sale. Hopefully we’ll see some of these cars going to new homes soon.

The following Eliminators sold last month (price shown is “hammer price”)…

0F91G544281 - 1970 Boss 302/4-spd. Super Drag Pak. Comp Gold/Black Interior. Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Lot# 801. $85k
0F91G517271 - 1970 Boss 302/4-spd. Comp Gold/Black Interior. Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Lot# 1050. $100k

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

Just realized this is the same car that was featured in this Muscle Car of the Week video (ep110)…

Probably should have figured it out sooner ~ not like there are a ton of S-code / automatic Eliminators out there in comp orange with black interior (like, 5 of them accounted for).

Going to the auction block, must not of had enough interest at $130K

Is it me or did they mess up the stripe? :laughing:
Also, the red underside?

She is hot though!

I am a cougar novice but but yes it doesn’t look right. Along with the air cleaner decal and cougar emblems on the rear quarters. At a $130K it better be perfect

A 69 Eliminator will have the COUGAR script on the quarter panels, a 70 will not have them.

Thanks Randy, always good to learn something new.

ACK!! It is NOT “1 of 5 Ram Air 428 CI engine Cobra Jets with factory air conditioning”!
It IS 1 of 5: bright blue metallic / blue interior / 428CJ (ram-air) / C6 automatic / 1969 Eliminator… with AC.


Funny, three of the 5 are recorded in the Eliminator Registry! They are practically common place :wink:

funny how many sellers can’t see the “of them” words on each line :slight_smile:
