Hi Guys,
The Eliminator is up for sale again.
The new owner currently resides in Tumut NSW .
He is currently asking $36,000-00 Neg.
He has apparently spent a lot of money on it, He has upgraded the A/C compressor to a new Sanden compressor, He has fitted a car alarm, Replaced the rear tyres, Fixed all the oil leaks, replaced all rubber hoses, replaced the clutch, replaced a lot of the suspension components, new power steering pump,new single wire alternator,new harmonic balancer, he did roll off a lot more to me but it went in 1 ear and out the other as I could not understand why he replaced all of theses items when little required doing (I could understand updating the A/C) He had VIP do an inspection before he bought it as I recommended and they gave the car a clean bill of health as well.
Apparently the car now owes him closer to $50,000 than $40,000 but does realize he is not going to recoup anywhere near as much as he has spent. He said he got carried away spending on the Eliminator
He is a retired gent on a pension and did intend to keep this car forever but he purchased this with the intentions of selling his statesman but he has only been offered half of what he was asking and can not afford to have 2 cars, so his intentions now are to sell the Eliminator and then trade in the Statesman on a new car.
If anyone is interested just pm through here and I will pass on his contact details.

351 Windsor Ford Racing Crate Engine (Fitted approx 3 years ago)
4 speed Toploader
9"Diff
This car is as I bought it except I have removed the roll cage,Recarros and racing harnesses.
I have known this car since approx 2002 and was first imported in 1998
In 2002 the car had a reconditioned toploader fitted and had the suspension and brakes all done. It was here when the cage and other items were fitted and the car was set up to be used at "Speed on Tweed"
The car is wearing the same paint that was on it in 1998 and is in fair condition, when I First saw it in 2002 it had what look like rust blisters starting to show at the bottom front edge of the doors that are still there today and have not changed in the time I have known the car. There is one rust hole (Size of a 10c coin) in the rear of the trunk that was treated before the car was imported and shows no signs of returning.
The interior is original to the car as far as I know except for the dash pad which has been redyed but has no cracks, It could reuse redying again.
The interior is in fair condition, no rips,tears,sunfading or wear just aged.
Mechanically sound as far as I can tell but does leak oil through the rear seal and has done since the engine was fitted as the sump was replaced as the one on the new motor was not correct.
Carburettor was rebuilt late last year and dyno tuned then.
Overall a very presentable car which I show regularly and love to drive.
Please note the plates are staying with me as they will be going on my 69 mustang.I do have 069CAT that the new owner can have for an extra $300-00
