    Very impressive, with the door panel restoration, steering wheel leather, upholstery restoration and body fillers that would really be perfect. You gave someone a great car with just some minor restoration to take it over the top! Thanks for sharing!

    Hi Anthony. Spectacular car... One of my very favorites. Sadly I had a 1984 Eldorado..White with Red interior... Was sold to me in 2007 for an incredible price... It belonged to a friends mother who passed away. It was definitely a survivor..California car..Always garage kept. 17,000 original miles..Literally looked like it just came out of the showroom..It was my dream car which I would have kept for many years....I never, every let anyone else behind the wheel of this car...Well...one evening I met a friend at a restaurant for Dinner...The place had valet parking only...I was not happy about it..but paid the valet $20.00 to keep it safe and park it out front...Then Disaster struck. One of the valet drivers...A real Jerk, high school kid decided to take the car for a joy ride...Traveling at a high rate of speed, went out of control and crashed into a stone wall and a telephone pole. He is unfortunately now in a wheel chair ..And I certainly don't feel at all sorry for this punk. Karma. Anyway. I totally miss my car!

    So nice to see you clean up the outside. I am glad you sold the car so you can focus on selling some of your other inventory, such as the 1992 Brougham (10K miles) that I am still waiting for.

    Nice work. amazing what some power washing, soap, and some tlc can do. I know there would be a lot more waxing, buffing and detailing if you were going to sell. Nice quick easy turn around fun sell. You should ask that person to send you a video when he completes his restoration,

    Now that you have it cleaned up really well I would keep that Autumn maple fire-mist the hell out of the sun. UV exposure is really what just kills the hoods and trunks on those -had that happen to me on a 90 Deville I owned in that color. You have an unusually clean and easily restorable one worth a storage spot indoors. Crowded as you indoors may be:-)

This car will appeal to some who appreciate the mods. The HT 4100 engines were very troublesome but at 130,000 miles it has likely already been overhauled and updated.

    I've used it on worn out looking leather upholstery and vinyl trim... With incredible results.

    Nice job! How were the electronics on the dash? They were known for problems back in the day the 84 & 85s. All it needs is air intake hose and new fillers on quarters. The steering wheel should clean up with water at first on wet paper towels, a few passes & 90% of the grime would be gone (just dirt from hands over time.) The wheel doesn't look baked by sun, as the rest of the car. Weird that side rear fillers failed.
