Now this is a great find...and it's only $5,000 with no reserve.

Did not know you could get a 390 in an Eliminator. Cool piece.

Love those Kelley-Springfield Super Chargers. They are probably so hard by now they don't even need air.

Not one picture of the interior.

These cars are really starting to grow on me... can't beat orange/white.

Yes, 390's were put in them. I've seen a few

I had a yellow '70 Eliminator for a few weeks. It was a 351C with a FMX. It was on it's way to being a dirt track racer when I saved it.

I've had several throughout the years. Cool cars and I like em better than the stangs.

Ive got a real black (base) cougar now. Just like the 2nd gen Formula's had one of the best hoods ever, the 1st/2nd gen Cougars had some of the best headlight/taillight setups ever (IMO).

That would be one gorgeous car when restored. Listing addendum now says engine is turning over and they may relist (undoubtedly with a reserve price) if they get it running.

Must have gotten it running. Listed was ended due to an error.

Can't blame em.
