This is my personal car and have just started the restoration. A very rare Eliminator that we acquired the end of 2018. It was originally ordered as a special paint car in factory Red. Of the 44 Special paint Eliminators built there were 4 equipped with a Dark Red Comfortweave interior. Based on information from the Eliminator registry this is the only red exterior paint Eliminator known to exist. If the 428CJ and C6 automatic were not enough, the cars options (per the Marti Report) make it even rarer. (Note we now have a new Marti Report showing the car was painted red. This was obtained by having Kevin Marti verify the paint on the car).
It has all its original paint, except for the hood. The red oxide paint spots are where the previous owner sanded it down and applied primer to spots that had worn out paint – argh!. The interior is all original with no rodent damage! Carpet was worn out and disposed of. Because it lived in Texas it’s whole life it has absolutely no rust! One of the best types of cars to start a restoration. The engine block is date correct but not the original. It is currently being rebuilt. I have the correct 1970 C6 transmission. Not the original but does have the cast iron tail shaft, R servo and shift shaft with kickdown.
The first few pictures is how it was found in Texas in a barn. The remaining pictures are it sitting in my shop after being cleaned up.
Some more pictures of the underside.
The complete underside along with the engine compartment has now been dry ice blasted. Looks fantastic. Notice the paint patterns.
Period correct block. Heads are from late 1968.
Parts accumulated for engine.
The car can be purchased anytime during the restoration. Obviously the farther we get into it and the more parts we buy the higher the price. When complete it will be a 6-figure car.
