Eliminators on the Market (January 2020)

Mike_B_SVT · January 5, 2020, 11:16pm

Well, I’m elbows deep in my rear axle project. Going to have to start hunting for a good 3.91 gear set though ~ something not made in China >.<
Several price reductions since last month. With Auction month also well underway, several Eliminators will be crossing the block in the next few weeks!

The following Eliminators appear to have sold last month (price shown is listed price, or hammer price for auction cars)…

9F91M574795 - 1969 351/auto. White/White interior. Unrestored. Docs. via CraigsList. $22.5k
9F91R562615 - 1969 428CJ/auto. Comp Blue/Black interior (orig. Bright Blue Metallic/Blue interior). Docs. via Orlando Classic Cars. $67.5k

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

Kind of a sloppy paint job on that car. Check out the fender bolts, door latch, underside, etc.

I know :-/

I spoke with one of the owners a few years ago, and received a couple of pics along the way. They were definitely seeing visions of big dollar signs at the end of their “resto”… I may be wrong (I frequently am), but I really don’t believe they put in the quality of work required to justify the asking price.

Heh, one fella’s comment on FB basically said “this one still needs $100k worth of restoration work”.
