Vehicle Description
Remarkable 24,000-mile example that remains one of the nicest
originals around!� Completely unmodified from new with all original
equipment, all books, three sets of keys, and factory service
manuals!� Virtually better than new with 2016 base/clear�exterior
repaint!� Just awesome! �Beginning in 1979, the Eighth Generation
of Cadillac Eldorado was introduced and carried through the 1985
model year. It was a smaller, slimmer vehicle with several
drivetrain variants used along the way in an effort to meet
stricter Federal emission and fuel economy requirements from year
to year. To help maintain interior and trunk space, Cadillac
introduced an independent rear suspension system. They shared the
same E-body chassis platform as the Buick Riviera and Oldsmobile
Toronado with front-wheel-drive. A one-year-only offering of the
Oldsmobile 350ci V8 EFI engine was used in the 1979 model year
making them one of the most desired for Cadillac collectors today!
We are very excited to offer this beautifully kept 1979 Cadillac
Eldorado Coupe finished in Platinum Iridium Metallic over Gray
Leather interior! It comes loaded with factory equipment including
350ci EFI 5.7L V8 providing 170 horsepower and 270 ft. lbs. of
torque, automatic transmission, climate-control air conditioning,
full power accessories, rear defrost, tilt/telescopic steering
wheel, cruise control, AM/FM/8-Track Stereo audio system with power
antenna, leather wrapped steering wheel, two sets of carpeted floor
mats, all original Soft-Ray tinted glass, Sentinel lighting,
intermittent wipers, power trunk release & electric pull down,
rubber trunk mat, trunk light, outside mirror thermometer, dual
remote mirrors, door edge guards, chrome wire spoke hubcaps,
auxiliary hood lock, and more! A remarkable example that has never
been smoked in and continues to smell showroom new inside! A true
time capsule! This example began life sold new at Frost Motors,
Inc. on May 18, 1979 to Ruth Rappoli of Belmont, Massachusetts with
20 miles on the odometer. It later made it way to Monterey,
California where it was treated to continued excellent care and
routine maintenance. More recently, it received new Hankook Optimo
tires in 2014 and a complete, professional repaint in 2016 in base
coat/clear coat fashion with all new red vinyl accent pin striping!
The results are far superior to any factory finish of the late
1970's. Inside, the car remains truly exceptional! Only minimal
signs of wear will appear on normal areas to give any indication of
use over the past 38 years. Included with the car will be the
original owner's manual, warranty booklet, tire brochures,
maintenance schedule, radio guide, factory service manual, Haynes
service manual, 3 sets of original GM/Cadillac keys, and champion
key tag for hood lock! Don't miss this opportunity to own one of
the finest examples around! A great color combination, near perfect
presentation, excellent ride & drive characteristics, and loaded
with fully functional power accessories and cold air conditioning!
Make no mistake, they are getting very hard to find like this
anymore! Act quickly!
