Entertainment factor is win win... Keep it ALIVE !!
I'll dive in.
I've owned, worked on, modded, lost money on most every make and model of 60's and 70's American cars.
Got my license in a 70 Buick estate wagon w/455, then took over mom's 70 Eldorado until it died, under my abuse.
I enjoy looking at older cars for sale - you never know!
You've read the Marauder members majority opinion on above 'cheap' priced projects, and know your buying audience is 75% guys that bought a new Marauder 11 years ago, and still have it. Probably not waiting for a crusty restoration project to pop up in here
25% are car freaks, that might dabble in a restoration projects.
Best advice was Rubbercityrauder - make a list of your project cars with a brief description, asking prices, post the required picture of each one and sit back and wait for a PM with interest.
You realize if I went over to the Corvette forum and posted 10 beat up Lebarons and Eldorado's I'd get screamed at the same way, or worse!
You're a Marauder owner and have every right to be in, and contribute to the community.
Post you non-Marauder ventures with your forum audience in mind.
Enjoy the ride!

Hey brother don't take it to heart, most mean well but may not always sound that way. I myself like what I call ghetto boats and besides my Marauder I have a 76 t-top Grand prix ,a 76 and 78 98 regency(love those pillow top cushy interiors ) a 78 Delta 88 that I bought to replicate my first car but realized I will never finish it. So although I myself would not be into what you're trying to sell right now, I'm digging some of the cars you have. what interested me most was the 78 t top Eldorado. Wouldn't mind seeing a pic of that. Only seen a few others. Kind of weird but pretty cool at the same time to see a sports car option on a luxury car. Asc actually made like five or seven that have power retracting T tops ( pretty crazy look it up) that went into the roof besides the ones that were converted to the Hurst hatch style roofs by dealers and such.

Hell yes. I keep my eyes out for 1955-1957 T-birds, and I am interested to find a 63 Tempest/LeMans. I have restored from various states of disrepair: 55 TBird, 61 Olds Starfire, 66 GTO, 67 Mustang GTA Conv, & a 70 Shelby 428 SCJ factory drag pack car. I am happy to read about your projects and junkers. I have a son in Phoenix that can look at dry bodies for me to haul back to the midwest. Ask the whiners what they have restored lately (as you said) besides dumping money into their MM. Oh, I have also dumped a bucket of money into my high-11's MM.

I love Eldorados..I've had a few...My 96 and 2000 were my favorites..The one you posted is a certified POS....It would take more than it's worth times 3 to restore it...
If you ever have a nice one,reasonably priced,it would be a different story..
Not trying to offend you,just stating my opinion...yours needs a lot of
WTF?!?!?!? Why is this here?

I love that collection you have! I'll get some pics up soon of the 78 Eldorado T-top. That's my pride and joy. It is also made by ASC, the same company that made the power T-tops. Supposedly only 50 were commissioned by Cadillac to have regular T-tops but I can't confirm that exact figure. I just know they are nearly impossible to find.

Sweet, I'll throw some of mine up as well seeing we like similar stuff.. Yeah I saw one 78 t top Eldorado for sale in California about five years ago for five grand. It was white with red Interior and was actually really Nice. I would have bought it if I didn't have too much tied up already at the time but haven't seen one since. I'm thinking it was a steal as it needed nothing to just enjoy.

I don't care which division of General Motors designed what, those cars are an engineering tour-de-force. If you ever have an opportunity to drive one you won't stop smiling for a week
As much as I love the Marauder that is the one car I would consider as a replacement. Were it not for the towing issue I might have done it already.
