Parting out '76 Eldorado Convertible in SF Bay Area


I'm getting ready to take apart a '76 fuel injected ELC this weekend. I’m keeping the engine & transmission as well as the convertible top and front suspension parts but pretty much everything else will be available. I can’t have this car for more than a week once the engine/trans are out and it will have to go to the junkyard. Which is why at this time I’m looking to find good homes for some of the big parts that are too hard to ship but that would be a shame to go to waste. I’m thinking of the following:

Front Fenders, both sides, nice and rust free, no lamps and trim, $300 each
Front Fender Inner Wheel Housings, both sides, rust free, $20 each
Doors, no rust, no rearview mirrors, no window glass, $40 each
Front bumper, driver quality, good chrome, lights and shock absorbers not includes, $50
Rear bumper, driver quality, good chrome, lights and shock absorbers not includes, $30
Complete Radiator Support with battery tray and fan shroud (the whole assembly over the width of the car), minor surface rust only, $20
Rear Seat bottom cushion, black leather, very good condition, $40

Once I’m done parting it out, the leftover chassis/frame with part of the body still on it and including the catalytic converter, will be available for free.

Email me with any questions or for photos. I'm in the East Bay.

Thanks,
Stephan

Looking for a mint red steering wheel.  Probably not there, but thought I would ask.

Unfortunately the interior on this car is not mint, steering wheel is all cracked.

TOC is the perfect music when cruising in my '75 ELC :-)

Radiator looks original (same as on my '75 ELC) and does not leak. It's available if you are local to me (can't ship it).

The fillers have already fallen apart, but I have both grills available and the rubber bumper piece (I assume you mean the rubber inserts). I'm not sure what part you refer to by bumper extension, the outer bumper ends? Send me a private message with your email and I'll get you some photos of those parts so you can see if they are in good enough condition.

Do you have the 4 hubcaps and are they the ones that are painted black in the middle ?

No, all four hubcaps were totally banged up and were not worth saving.

Hi Stephan - the part I'm looking for is a small grey plastic piece that attaches to the trunk lid half of the trunk lock .I'm not certain what it's function is ; because , although mine has pieces that have cracked off , the trunk works just fine . Would like to replace mine with one that is undamaged . It is somewhat rectangular in shape and measures about 2X2X3 inches . Be careful unscrewing it if you have it . The plastic apparently becomes very delicate with age . Thanks , ....Paul ..tess352@yahoo.com

Paul, I assume you are talking about the part that goes on the remote trunk release bracket on cars with the automatic trunk pull-down option. I have never seen that part undamaged, seems like a very common problem, sorry.

Nick,
not sure which solenoid you are referring to but I just put the complete EFI setup on Ebay on Monday. Check it out at
http://www.ebay.com/sch/houseofcadillacs/m.html?_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

This setup came from a running engine as seen in this video I took just before I pulled the engine:
