Richard......I have been having the same thoughts.
Next week I pick up an Eldorado (1973, 2nd owner)
that has basically sat for 10 years. Present owner
said he did run it every summer, but only 50 miles or
so a year. It looks rough, but appears it will clean up
and be a good runner. He is throwing in a California GT
buddy seat(good shape) and solo seat(fair shape).
I agreed to give him $2200 (Eldo is missing side covers,
grab rails and front fender stay). Cash has not exchanged
hands, but am planning on finalizing in a week.
I realize it is near impossible to determine if this is
a fair deal without seeing the Eldo, but any comments
would be helpful. Frank S. (NY) has been a great help,
as has Maynard (WI). What do you hardcore Loopers
think? Any comments would be appreciated.
