Eliminators on the Market (October 2020)

The Marketplace Classic Cougars for Sale
1

Still squeezing in a car cruise here and there as we slip into fall. Starting to think about projects for this winter too.

BEWARE OF SCAM LISTINGS OF ELIMINATORS FOR SALE!
Scammers are using pictures from legitimate listings (old and current) and passing them off as their car that is for sale, at prices well below market value. Always verify the car is real and the VIN is legitimate by checking with the CCOA or Eliminator Registry.
Also be sure to order your own Marti Report. Scammers have been doctoring Marti’s and changing VINs. Marti will not charge you for an invalid VIN.
Never send a deposit without confirming there is actually a real Eliminator associated with the listing.
And as always, remember that if it is too good to be true then it is probably a scam.

A little run of Blue/Blue cars this go-round.
Of the two 69 Boss cars, the one in MD seems the better deal, but still a lot of work.

I agree. Buying in to a non-matching '69 Boss Eliminator for $17.5K… Hmm… $20k for drivetrain. $25k body / paint. $5k for interior. Call it $10k for “other stuff”… Puts you into it for about $80k once it’s done. Which is probably what a freshly restored non-matching '69 Boss Eliminator is worth.

Or you could try to talk down the guy with the restored one for $90k :wink:

*Google Translate:
Cougar eliminator Boss 302 1970 with its serial number that I sell for a friend of a friend who left too quickly. Competition orange painted in 2016 with high quality urethane, black interior, houndstooth seat edition Suzanne Trigère. The vehicle is a Rebody, the mechanics are complete Boss 302 with many of its original parts, not a complete match. The underside was treated with anti-rust in the 80s so there is still a little work to put it to your liking. Vehicle to inspect. The price indicated is the asking price for the rest make an appointment with me I will show you around. for other photos come on site. Serious buyer only.

It does look fairly solid. Rust on the tops of the fender aprons though. V code 3.91:1 axle originally.
