Title: 1980 Eliminator
Post by: hotrod56cars on June 18, 2007, 09:11:16 PM
So we have a new member to the site and here's pics of his 1980 Eliminator bubble deck. Hopefully he'll see this post and write a little bit about it so we (read me) know what the hell we're looking at.   ;D

Looks killer, a friend of mine just sold one to another mutual friend of ours. White base with yellows, browns, reds, and oranges (not the fruit silly).

Definately a bubble deck brother, you know the bubble in the bow right in front of the dash - bubbledeck. Does it have covers where the original through transom exhaust went through the transom or has it had headers since it was new?

That makes it a 1980 Eliminator Super Sprint bubbledeck, alias 1980 Eliminator SS.
