Cadillac Eldorado 1979 Description
This car has less than 9300 miles! It's been loved for 38 years by two owners. Common statement from those who see it "it looks new and what a wonderful paint job". The front mats are like new and you just don't find that very often with these cars. Original owner and I have always kept a plastic mat over it. The headliner was replaced along with the visors and vinyl trim was put back on the visors. The rear bumper fillers have been replaced. The work was great and you can't tell as excellent job was done on the paint match.
I purchased it from the original owner in 2002 who like me kept it in temp controlled garage. The color is Red Cedar with Light Cedar roof and Antique DK Cedar leather and carpet. No cracks in the leather and any marks or stains on the mats or carpet.
Pictures of the car show the new tires on used rims. I purchased these tires and rims to keep the originals intact. The pictures of 4 tires are the original tires still on original rims. These are the original wire wheel covers which to my knowledge were available for two years. To my knowledge the 1981 Eldorado and Seville went to a flusher hub with red center cover. These tires pictured have less than 300 miles on them and have a total of six, two spares. The tires in the picture turn brown and it takes elbow grease to get them white.
In one of the car shows someone damaged the paint on the trunk. They are three small chips in the paint on the trunk as you can see in the last picture.
The Brake light came on and the brakes are weak. Checking the fluid I found it empty and it has air in the lines. I don't know anyone in this new area to work on it. I have discounted the car $2000.00.
New battery Oct 2016. Radiator replaced 2009, Rear bumper fillings replaced 2013. Headliner and visors replaced in 2010. A/C charged in 2009 with original Freon and blows ice cold. It has the "Olds 350 fuel injection" engine and starts right up every time. If your looking for a great classic car that looks like new then look no further. I know you want be disappointed.
This is a mixture of pictures from Feb 2015 and Nov 2016 and it hasn't changed. Will answer any questions and take pictures. The car was undercoated at the dealership and I don't have pictures taken on a lift to show the underside. Even if the brake light was off I wouldn't advise anyone to drive a long distance till it's been checked out. It's been in the garage 92% of it's life.
I listed this car last September and buyer didn't follow up on his promise. Car needs to be with new owner who will form a new connection and enjoy the low miles. First car I have ever owned for this many years. Has brought me many wonderful memories and three awards. Thanks CCCC Dallas.
No window sticker and during move I lost the other original paper work. Have owners manual and both original sets of keys.
