Thanks for posting this one. I owned one of those models, and absolutely love it (1975-'85).  I think the owner is representing the car honestly.  If anyone is interested, a thorough inspection would be a sensible precondition.  Owner's lists of challenges may well prove costly; however, if the vinyl top is not yielding rust bubbles, and the engine has been rebuilt and develops good compression, then the rest of the drive train might be in reasonable condition.  Alas, this is the only year that had a single wheel bearing per side, and way back in the early '80's they were hard to find and very expensive.  ALso, this car absolutely requires that the rear suspension receives additional support from the air ride (service kits no longer available) or some kind of "work around" For the shade-tree mechanic who has the space, time, and resources, this could be a wonderful project car, that, with some paint and powder, will prove to be an absolute joy.   Thanks for posting,  James

Tremendous!
I have not been on the CLC Forum in such a long time.
Seeing a 1967 Fleetwood Eldorado as the first item on the CLC For Sale thread absolutely made my day.
Everyone please have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

Question about the "vinyl top is not yielding rust bubbles"...what is the recourse if this is the case? I have a '67 that has those "bubbles" and am worried about it. Anyone have ideas on how to mitigate this?

Depends on how many bubbles, where they are, and how large they are.

In most cases, the vinyl covering will have to be removed, and the rusted areas cut out, as in normal rust removal.

BUT, if it is really bad, there will be some serious decisions to be made.

And, I might add, the rust usually is much worse than thought until that vinyl is removed.

Wow...The bubbles are not bad at all but Jim's link/saga above was terrifying!!!

Thanx for sharing....

"Depends on how many bubbles, where they are, and how large they are."

As Bruce advises, this condition is a judgement call.  I owned my '67 for over a decade, it was a daily driver, it was never garaged when I owned it. During its inital 6 years of ownership, some minor rust bubbles were already appearing when I purchased the car, and the vinyl looked dull and needing attention.  I used a "paste-like vinyl top dressing" on a regular basis that kept the rain water beading on the top and the dark blue vinyl looking relatively new. The rust  under the vinyl apparently stabilized and did not spread during my many years of ownership.

Thnaks James. Appreciate it. I try to apply a conditioner to my vinyl pretty regularly and, obviously, try to avoid rain! Mine is a '67 CDV black vinyl top...
