Mike, check E-Bay. There are a number of parts for a '74 listed. If you do find a service manual for the '74 and have the time PLEASE copy the data related to...
If you could take some photos of the rusted areas, that would be helpful. If it was your dad's car, and you get rid of it, you will be kicking yourself at some...
Your Car sounds unique in its own way i have owened a 75 eldo convertible since 2000 i have lived in apartments trying to store this in winter and now have a...
Mike, sounds like a tuff decision. Pictures would help. From what you describe, it doesn't look good. Back in my younger days, I restored a rusted out 77...
Been a member for a while, but never posted. I just put a few pictures of my 1971 convertible up. I love the look of the 71/72 with its "gills" and skirts....
Nice looking car. I agree, the 71/72 cars have a lot of character, and the higher compression 500 will probably run circles around my 76. Nice pics, Brian...
I think that you would probably be better off using your '74 as rolling parts stock for coupe in better shape with no rust. You can pick up a low miles coupe ...
... and the higher compression 500 will probably run circles around my 76. ... Thanks Brian. Big difference in horsepower between my '71 and '78! I added some...
Thank you all for your comments re my dad's '74 coupe. I think the true kicker is the sentimental one. I'm sure I'd kick myself if I didn't try to keep it...
There are an awful lot of vehicles out there that have been restored that the cost far exceeded the value of the vehicle. I happen to be one of those who did...
Todd said it quite well. I will only add that you can enjoy the car quite a lot without doing an all-out "restoration" on it. You want to fix things that are...
Joe, I totally agree with you. I have been very fortunate to have found cars that weren't eaten up with rust except for my very first old car purchase. I...
Thank you for the info offer. I have purchased the complete GM shop manual for the '74 Eldorado. GOOD luck with your '74 About 35 years ago I had a 1967...
Guys, Keep in mind that in those years, there was a shop manual for each car line, plus the sub-models, like Chevrolet, Olds, Buick, Pontiac, Cadillac. ...
Just a quick note to wish everyone much Love, Peace, and Happiness during the holiday season and throughout the coming year! Now get out there and have a...
I was just thinking about how I haven't heard anything from the group in a while and then I see this message. Happy holidays to you as well. The weather has...
OK, so it's not an Eldo, but since this bunch was a part of my autumn disaster and the acquisition of the '94 Fleetwood Brougham afterwards, I thought I'd...
congratultions Joe, Looks like you`ve got a good replacement car. Thanks also for your Xmas message. Unfortunately I am out of the game at present with an...
Thanks, Tom! Sorry to hear of your ills. Lots of that type stuff going around here currently, too. I've managed to avoid it so far, thankfully. Hope you feel...
Thanks for your kind thoughts Joe, I must say that I think the worst has passed, I`ve been quite active today, taking the dog out, hoovering etc. I didn`t do a...
Glad you're feeling better, Tom! Don't really know what to tell you on the van mileage - I have absolutely no experience with those vehicles. But it does seem ...
I actually bought one a year ago from a Caddy dealer in Seattle. You should contact your local dealer and ask them to conduct a national stock search with the...
SWEET! Ann-Marie **************Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape. http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489...
