1979 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe

1979 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe 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!
