I have been looking on and off now for over 6 months. 1968 is my year and I want an Eldo and/or Coupe Deville Vert. I just have not been able to find the right combination of colors and condition...and last nite I found this...

The exact car in the exact color combination that I want and, of course, its gone... growing up my uncle had the same car...could have been a 67...but that color combo...fair to say it left an impression...I want it bad... :-[

Hello Greg

I understand how you feel. Remain positive and the right one will come to you!

Yep, just be patient and don't settle for anything less than exactly what you want :-)

Don't feel too bad. They always look better in pictures. There will always be another one.

I know how you feel.

It took me 8 years of searching to eventually find the '72 Eldorado Convertible I was looking for.   It had to have the TrackMaster Brakes.

I missed it the first time it came up on ebay, then was the high bidder twice more, and finally got it for less than the sellers' reserve.

All I can say is "Be patient".

I do know of a pristine #2+ original '68 Coupe deVille with 21,000 miles that might be available. It is burgundy w/black roof with black leather. Not exactly what you're looking for but as I've said, it is absolutely mint original. The best '68 I've ever seen.
