58L-Y8 Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 If you already have a really nice '69 Eldorado with the standard bench seat, you buy this car just to get those factory power bucket seats and console to re-upholster to match and install in your car. Whatever else you glean from this rough example is just a bonus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its really as low rust as the seller claims and has a clean title, pick it up for $2k and it might be a good project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I don't think it's beyond saving but remember you're dealing with a Cadillac, and an Eldorado to boot. Lots of complex systems and hard to find pieces. There were never as many of these made as the later pimpmobile Eldorados, so even parts cars are scarce. That steering wheel cover is troubling. I think these had rim-blow horns which are troublesome enough to keep working without something interfering with its operation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexRiv_63 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I love these Eldos but I agree this may be too far gone to fix without extreme expense. Hard to tell but this may be an original no-vinyl-top car... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Look close at the rear window reveal mouldings. Bottom driver side looks rusty. That makes me think a vinyl top has been removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Spend $10 ~ 15K more on a better example and save yourself $30K... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Skelly Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 The rim blow wheel was an option. The rear window moldings are steel and susceptible to rust. It looks like possibly black caulk was applied on the lower left molding since water tends to collect in the lower window trough of these and rusts out the moldings and trough area. Neither the painted top (8% of production) nor bucket seats are commonly seen. Black was 5.3% of 1969 Eldorado production. If the body rust is minimal, it's a good buy if you like black on black. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Actually like it. We all love Black on black and this has a rare desirable option to the seats. And only $3200 asking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Skelly Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 no black-on-black for me; black over red or black over white, definitely! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Make no mistake, this is a $100,000 restoration. Which is why these aren’t getting restored. If, which I don’t have anymore, but if I had my old 3 car heated and air conditioned man cave I would tackle it. And 10 years of my life back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
