Several of these were for sale/auction in the past year or so, but I don't follow them any more.   I gave up on my '70s conv desire after looking into them.   
Only 200 made, so you have to wait til they come on the market or bait with a high price ad to lure some out.
There's a few sites to check;topclassiccarsfor sale.com   classiccars.com

Sorry for my ignorance, but are all 1976 Eldorado Convertibles "Bicentennial"?  If so, there appears to be a good one in this forum for sale.

From what I understand, they only made the last 200 as "Special" units, and named them as the Bicentennial ones.  All the same colour, seat piping and the rest.   All identical.

Right  :) They build 14000 convertibles in 1976 which was almost double than the years before. Lot of these disappeared in collectors garages.

I heard that the reason they built so many was that that was all the top parts that they could obtain from the supplier and once they were used up, there were no more..

"76" bicentennials have white leather, and red and blue pinstriping!
