Just found a honey.
I'm new here and looking for as much information I can get about a recent acquisition I was fortunate enough to make. I week ago Thursday I pulled a 43,000 original mile 1975 Eldorado from a barn after a 37 year nap ! Yes, literally a barn find. I'll go into that story a bit more. After some precautionary fuel system cleaning, marvel mystery oiling of the cylinders and system checks the car started instantly and settled to a perfect idle after nearly 40 years.
What is even more interesting is the cars color, the car is Mandarin Orange over Mandarin orange leather with a Mandarin Orange landau top. The car is virtually flawless both inside and out I'll try to post a couple of photos here. I understand the color was a special order color available at the time. One of my questions is, does anyone know just how many of these Mandarin Orange coupes were produced? 1st photo taken 6-17-21 first day in daylight after 37 years. 2nd photo taken yesterday after detailing
Any information would be appreciated, Thanks !
