This is a '75 Eldorado that we bought for parts. It was a Mandarin Orange Firemist with Orange Plaid Interior car originally but has had a full color change including interior to dark blue. It ran and drove when we bought it and will now give all its parts to extend the life of other Eldorados.

These are the photos from the Craiglist Ad not giving any indication of this Eldorado being an original Mandarin Orange car.

This parts car project was a great excuse for buying an engine hoist and stand. All are 2 ton models, yeah heavy duty baby :-)

This engine might not have been original to this Eldorado as there is a tag from a rebuilder in Oakland that indicates that it was rebuilt in November of 2003.

Because the interior of the beater was redone in incorrect material it didn't have any value for me and I decided to donate it to Phil and his blue '75 Eldorado Convertible "Elvis 75".
