Hey folks,
I'm posting my first thread on here all the way from Germany. I own a couple of American cars, a 65 Mustang, a 72 Comet and a 67 Econoline.
Currently, I'm looking at a 69 Eliminator which is for sale here by a dealer. The price is 18.9k Euros, which I think could be fair if the car is decent. I haven't looked at it in person, but plan to do so in the future.
Judging by the photos, some things struck me as odd. So I rely on your help to find all bits and pieces which are not correct.
Luckily, the car comes with a window sticker. The VIN 9F91M proves it to be a 69 Eliminator.
BUT:
Obviously, the AC compressor is missing.
The Rimblow steering wheel has been replaced by a standard wheel.
Are these Highback Buckets? I doubt it.
Where is the Rallye clock, is this the correct gauges in general?
The radio has been replaced with a modern dash unit.
The front spoiler is missing.
The wheel well mouldings could have been added later, but are not Eliminator correct, right?
That's the things I have found just by looking at the pictures - and never having seen a real Eliminator before.
Looks like they changed the interior quite a bit? Seems a little strange...
What else did I miss?
