I have a 1978" El Deora" El Dorado that needs complete resto; 61,539 miles shows on odometer (I don't know if it is 161)

     Silver w/red leather. Interior really not too bad - carpets are fairly clean. ASC sunroof. Rolls- Royce style grille and flying lady.
Stainless bar across top still there; one marque nameplate missing, (drivers side,) as are both landau bars.
 I had the title about 7 years ago but now cannot find. I was told because of age these replacement titles are easily obtainable.
Ran and drove when i got it; will need some tinkering now as it has been sitting/ inspection sticker is 97. Rusty under hood.
Broken windshield and trunk lock. 4 correct  aluminum wheels. undercarriage and body indicates garage kept until recently - (4 yrs.)
     My good intentions of restoring are fading with time and now just need it gone for the space and to recoup my investment.
It would be a shame to see this made into refrigerators and washing machines; but that looks like the next stop.
Somebody send a truck and save her. I'm located 90 miles from  NYC and Phila. in the Pocono Mts. near Mt. Airy Casino.

 
$900.00 w/notarized bill of sale.Thank you for your time,
alan.brent.check@gmail.com - for any questions or offers.

Hi Bob,
     OK; I'll bite, How much, and do you also have a name marque for drivers side - and where are you located?
To be truthful, I'm already losing money on this "superbad superfly." What was I thinking?

 Love your list of suppliers - apparently you've been at this a day or two , no?   
Yes; this land yacht is the same "pimpmobile deluxe" seen in the middle of your clip.
I could see a movie company or studio buying this car to just shoot shiny new paint on - and set her somewhere in the background as a prop.
Anyone "know somebody -who knows somebody" in the movie industry??
(How 'bout them afros? Nice leopard suit!)
     Seriously, someone needs to save this boat; Just did some internet crusing - research on these "El Deora" Conversions and there were only
numbered in the hundreds. Who's the El Dorado "big daddy" on this site; Hey - Step up - here's your chance.
You got my interest up again and I'm now giong out to the garage and put a battery charger on to see if she still starts! I'll keep you posted.
sold this afternoon;thank you all.
Charged battery and changed bottom radiator hose and started right up.
