Hey MeanGreen....., good to see you here

Posted by: squirell

The Eldo was acually my 1st choice.

I couldn't find a decent one in my price range so I got the Mark VIII,

I still want one as a daily driver.

good choice with the Mark...
the eldo wouldn't look good with drag radials up front

same here Matt, I was looking at the Eldo too when I bought my Mark

Posted by: Joeychgo

Its a shame the eldo went the same way as the marck --- we have no decent america luxury sport coups anymore

unless you have $80k lying around doing nothing for an XLR --- your stuck with 4 doors or used

Posted by: Dynomite98

Got some new pics

I like to think of myself as the originator of the Angel eye conversion, no offense to dynomite. Check my ride out at http://www.cardomain.com/id/infamous1

I think you are too. I got the idea from you.

Posted by: Pepsi2185

That looks unbelieveble. Man do i love american cars. European concept but it looks 10 times better on the caddy.

Posted by: tbbh

I HAVE AN 84 EL DORADO CONTERTIBLE THAT NEEDS A COUPLE OF PARTS. I CAN FIND THE PART THAT EXCHANGE WITH THE HARD TOP BUT NOT FOR THE CONVERTION.

ANY IDEAS? I NEED THE LATCHES FOR THE TOP AND THE DRIVE GEAR TAPE FOR THE REAR QUARTER WINDOW.

THANKS ALL :feed

Posted by: K2K

Just bought an Eldo today, so expect some posts from me

She's a '97, same color and stuff as this picture, but I haven't tinted the windows yet. I might go darker than those in the pictures, because I think basically all black would look sexy as hell on this babe.

Posted by: RazeOrc

I've got a 90 Eldorado with the vinyl top, been garaged her whole life and looks sweet washed & waxed but what she really needs is a full facelift

Planning on picking up a newer Eldo or an M8 in the very near future and i'll put some pics of them both then

BTW, I love the Angel Eye mod on both of those Eldos!

Posted by: Pepsi2185

tbbh,

you might be lookin at junkyard bro. I think the 84 eldo was still production was it fellas???

I was working on i believe an 81 eldo convertible at the stereo shop i worked at. Man that was sweet. Sorry guys im pulling this one in.

Posted by: Rollinon20s

looks good. its given me ideas for my own

Here Is My 1993 El-Dawg and I Love It To Death and I Can't Stop adding things on to Him

Posted by: Warchild

Hello all. I was cruising the web for some info and ran across this site...

Anywho, theres some sweet rides in this thread. I'll post some of my 81 Eldorado this afternoon, but shes a WRECK right now... Not TOO bad, considering, but it sure needs some work... I also had a 79 Lincoln Continental Towncar until just recently, but I parted her out because she was becoming too much of a drag on the wallet

Posted by: davedog

Here is my baby! 92 ETC

Posted by: desertdisciple

Lovin' the '99 ETC -Biarritz...

Lotsa Pep!

Posted by: K2K

Is that sexy chrome along the windows and down the hood your doing or dealer?

Posted by: desertdisciple

It's all from the dealer.

The Dr. who previously owned it had the Biarriitz package done onsite along with a nice vermeulen Hollandia sunroof (nice addition, from Holland)

What kinda' price do the Angel Eyes carry?

... Are they a 'slam dunk install' or do they require some mods???

Posted by: desertdisciple

I've seen some kits up to $1,500... Any ideas of how one could do some kewl headlight mods (bright) but do it on a much tighter budget!?!?

Posted by: K2K

1500? If you do it yourself, it's only like $200, and maybe $600 otherwise.

Posted by: K2K

Actually, I don't even think they have specific kits for the Eldo, most people just use an E36 beemer kit. I forget specifically, but I think you need to make custom brackets, reweld the fender, repaint it, fit the lights a little bit and then do some major cutting if you're putting in new signals, too.

Posted by: desertdisciple

Okay what about just making some BRIGHT modification...?

...Is it as simple as buying new headlights and foglights.

something bright like on Mercerdes and such...???

Any brand suggestions?

Posted by: K2K

HID conversion kit? I don't know much about those, but I've heard discussion before, I know they're out there.

Posted by: sentra2nr

use the ebay young jedi and you too will know the power that it holds....

Ha ha ha, you can find just about anything on ebay, now whether or not it is good remains to be seen.

Is there a difference between the American Eldorado and the one made for Europe ?
mine is a 1992 ETC, which I bought in 1993 from a GM Executive in Antwerp
It's still mint and has 87000 miles. Doesn't leak, doesn't make funny noises and runs great, but I had to replace front and rear shocks, alternator, AC compressor and radiator (these parts costed me an arm and a leg in Belgium) but I still love to drive it

Posted by: K2K

Uhh... I know the European STS had some different colored lighting on the outside. I don't quite remember -- but it's probably the same on the Eldo. Otherwise, everything should be the same.

Posted by: L.PHILIPS

Hi,
Here are some pics of my 1992 Eldo ETC
Changed the lights in the back to US specs, as the European red/amber didn't look good, and gave not enough light at night, but now I drive without backup lights as they were incorporated in the rear lights.
Can anyone help me with an adress where I can find a set of used backup lights ?

I can get you some -- they're expensive though, but fairly easy to put in in retrospect. Just need a universal kit, PM me. There's a really famous escalade with a nice set-up. I'll look around for it.
