The Eldo was acually my 1st choice. :rolleyes:
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

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

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.

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!

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 :)

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???

desertdisciple
November 27th, 2004, 01:55 PM
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!?!? :eek2:

K2K
November 27th, 2004, 05:47 PM
1500? If you do it yourself, it's only like $200, and maybe $600 otherwise.

K2K
November 27th, 2004, 05:51 PM
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.

desertdisciple
November 27th, 2004, 07:19 PM
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?

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

K2K
November 30th, 2004, 03:44 PM
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.

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 ?
