This car on Ebay seems to be a phony.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1874225272 It is not in the registry and has wood grain dash panels. If anyone gets interested in it, I would advise you to get in touch with Kevin Marti. There is another 1969 on Ebay right now that is a clone. It has an H code engine.

just by the vin numbers on the ebay listing there could you tell if it was a fake? Iwouldnt pay 8500 for the other one since it needs a ton of work and being a clone.Plus this one here if you look youll see the windshield post has some rot .Iwouldnt get it, a main structure that badly rusted.
A shame that people have to try n pass a car as THE REAL THING and cant even be man/woman enough to admit that iit is not a original eliminator.
thanks

In some cases I think it is just a case of pure ignorance on the part of the seller. Take the one that was for sale near me... The guy just didn't know his car was not a true eliminator. He saw the stripes and thought it was real... AND he did remove the "eliminator" for the ad when he was corrected... BUT if they continue with the ad as it stands (H code) that is just fraud plain and simple and should be exposed as such

how about this one with zero bids? It seems restorable.

Eliminator clone
Look at the dash...
Mine has the black, no woodgrain or shiney rings.
Still looks to be in a heck of a lot better shape than mine is...
Someone wanting to buy a real Eliminator should not make a purchase if they cannot verify w/ a Marti Report, because the paperwork is what makes the Eliminator.

Eliminator dash
All Eliminators had black camera case dash inserts. They also had the clock over the glove box. I emailed the guy and asked if he had any documentation as to the car being an original Eliminator. His reply was that it was not an XR7 by the body code of 91, but he had no documentation. If you are interested in the car you can call Kevin and he will tell you one way or another for about seven dollars. Swamper, your dash is incorrect.

A friend on mine got the door codes from the guy and the color is originally Bright Yellow--Elim Only. Charcoal Black Corinthian Vinyl and Charcoal Black Levant patterened vinyl--not sure what that came with. It is also a 3 speed manual car, although it is now listed as automatic. I am not sure what to think of it. He could have changed the dashboard and just used the wood grain, or it could be a rebodied car only using some interior parts, the vin plate and the driver's side door. Who knows? I don't live close to Miami anymore, so I don't have the oppertunity to check it out for anyone interested.
The Elim only colors were available on all cougars. Elim Only is refering to the only colors offered on an Eliminator. If you ordered a Eliminator Package you only had 4 choices of exterior paint.

I did the same thing with my coug....looked at the code 9 and got exited....I was lucky and Kevin Marti was able to confirm I had an Eliminator as well.
