1967 Eldorado, $12.5k in OK

[67_Eldo]

Not mine. But I was thinking about making it mine. (My 67 is now too fundamentally solid for me to abandon.)

The Holy Grail red Eldo slick top! With a seemingly perfect interior (except for the ever-present oxidation on the dashboard-mounted map-light grille).

As one who has been inspecting the 67 Eldo closely, here are some things to consider:

* The lower front bumper has been dinged. Not badly, but the egg crate has been disturbed around the front license plate holder.

* It is a front-drum-brake car. From a long-term-maintenance standpoint, this could actually be a good thing.

* No cruise control.

* I'd want close-up pics of the area around the rear window and above the windshield to see if there are any tiny rust bubbles. As it is, though, the pics look good.

* Some mention of what has or hasn't been done to the transmission.

Somebody please buy it so I can stop thinking about it! :-)

This car belongs to a friend of mine and I see it regularly at car shows.  Im happy to get detailed pics for you.

No no no! Don't tempt me! :-)

Thanks for the offer but after triple checking my already-damaged budget, I decided that I really need to stick with my own '67 Eldorado.

Thanks again!

How can you pass this one up??

How can you pass this one up??

My Eldo resistance is bolstered by the fact that I just bought a (cheap) Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce to tide me over until my Eldorado once again sports window glass all around. :-)

It is always nice when a forum member can provide a 1st hand account.  It is a very nice car. 

Those front bumpers are fortified and it would take awhile to disassemble, straighten and rechrome.  I would live with some grille bending down that low. 

Deauville cloth aka Houndstooth, my favorite, and combined with red makes this a Cadillac "sports car". 

The drum brakes are not robust, but this car is not going to be driven hard.  Monitor distances between cars accordingly!   80,000 miles.
