What ever happened to that comp green 70 sunroof eliminator that guy found in the salvage yard and was making it a resto mod?? Always wondered what ever happened to it since he was selling it…


thanks
pat

triggered a memory- a 70 green Elim w/ sunroof. Painted orange(poor job as green was showing everywhere!) The car was also a 4 speed IIRC… Motor had been rebuilt. I did some work on it, but don’t recall what as this was in 1992+? Lost track of the Cat a few years later…

Speaking of 70 Green Cats- a 70 428 Elim was owned by a friend & sold to ?

Cat had a tree fall on the C pillar Pass side. He tried to fix it w/ a large eye bolt & hanging it from a ceiling steel beam.

Anybody know what/where these are today?

Pat, as far as I know that car is still available. Haven’t heard from the owner in a few years. Here are some details, in case anyone is willing to chase it…

Good luck! And if anyone gets pics or more info on it, please share :slight_smile:

Bill, the 4-speed sunroof car, what engine did it have? Most likely, the trans was swapped. All of the Hertz cars were FMX, and the other two sunroof Eliminators were… special (niether one was originally comp green though).

Bill, the '70 comp green CJ that your friend used to own is 0F91Q510719. It is pretty easy to recognize since it is sporting the wood grain passenger dash panel.

It is currently bouncing around between various auctions, with the next one coming up end of March.
