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.
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 numbers match. 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.
Period correct block. Heads are from late 1968.
Parts accumulated for engine.
