| 1975 Cadillac Eldorado Drop Top |
| I bought this car for $1,000 from another Marine who brought the car from Tennessee. It has hardly any rust (2 spots maybe) and runs decent. It has a bit of a postdetonation problem, but i'll wait til the rebuild to do anything about it. My plan is to paint it baby blue and install a custom white leather/woodgrain interior. It's gonna take me a while to do all this, but i start on the body work next week hopefully. I have a friend that's gonna teach me to paint, so it won't be TOO expensive. i haven't decided whether i want to put hydrolics or air bags, keep the hubs and whitewalls, or put 22"s on it. if you have any suggestions, feel free to drop me an email here: That's it for now, check back in a couple weeks and let me know how the paint looks... to check out the specs, scroll down a little... |
