It also has personalized plates THE RITZ its awsome I love this car.I just wish it wasnt such a slug it has no power runs great nothing at all wrong with it but going from my z28 or the conti it just seems like it is way under powered.But I didnt buy it to race it i bought it to cruise.And believe me it is a head turner.
 
well I have had the car for about 4 years now.I have only drivin it 4200 miles.This car would be a 100 point show car but i do drive it and it is not perfect.The original owner for some reason decided to take the originle 4100 out when it only had about 3000 miles on the car becouse he was worried about the heads being aluminum and the block bieng steel they had head gasket probs so he had a new jasper engine installed thats the only thing thats not original but it is the same exact engine.I got it for what i think is a steal $8,500 like i said it only had like 8,000 miles when i got it.It has 1 tiny tiny tiny stone chip on the hood like the size of a pen tip.The only thing i want to upgrade is the tires.I would like to buy tires with gold stripe instead of white walls does any body know where i can get thies? And also the brake peddel is really soft even after replacing everything and bleeding the hell out of the system (4 wheel disk) That is the cars only quirk it is 22 years old so I expect it to need a lil bit of tlc

For the tires get some Vogues. They have a whitewall and a yellow stripe. They look sharp on Caddies, IMO.
 
Thats the cleanest Eldorado I've ever seen. You said the original owner replaced the engine? So what does it have in it now?

I had a Coupe de Ville with that 4.1 and it was so slow. If I remember correctly its the block thats aluminum and the heads that are cast iron.
 
The original owner put a 4100 back in but supposedly it is way better according to jasper.The guy was real anal about things I have a bag full of reciepts of things he just replaced for no apperent reason.the car as it sits has 12,423 miles and it has allready had a new engine,new calipers all the way around the whole air ride replaced and a fuel pump.Well atleast I know it was took care of.The guy cried when I picked up the car.His boyfriend,Yes I said his boyfriend! made him sell it because they bought a new vett and didnt have the room for the car.I wish I had pics of the underbody you guys would freak out it is so clean its unbelevable.I was torn as to undercoat it or not.But I did anyway and I am glad because I plan on keeping it forever and passing it along someday.
 
Oh I forgot to mention.The guy who owned it before me also installed the aroooga horn.like the really really old cars had.It gets laughs everytime I honk it,lol sometimes I honk it just to get a chuckel out of the ladies.The horn get you mind out of the gutter!
 
:W Thanks for joining! Your car is an excellent addition to our club!
 
Wow, your Eldo looks immaculate to say the least. I can't wait to restore my '85 White on white Eldorado. Jeez, I thought my mileage was low @ 67,000 lol.

Check out my photo garage, I have a pretty cool lookin picture of my Caddy.
