General Discussion / More Technical Issues
Last post by sbartelski - Today at 04:02:36 PMI am afraid we have again run into the issue that images cannot be uploaded. I am working with our server provider to get this resolved as soon as possible, and resolved for the long term, as we had this issue not so long ago

Last post by Eric DeVirgilis CLC# 8621 - Today at 03:46:28 PMQuote from: Bryan J Moran on Today at 03:13:58 PMI would not "not" buy a 1979-1981. These cars are 42-44 years old, they will all need attention. Imagine the nicest 1979 in great colors, a Biarritz with 23,000 original miles. Still going to need to be "gone through."
How is "needing to be gone through" any different for 95% the cars discussed here? Welcome to the old car hobby! Are you suggesting that someone interested in a third generation FWD Eldorado look toward a HT4100 car rather than a 1979 - 1981 on the basis it's "42 - 44 years old"? Why, is a 39 year old 1985 HT4100 preferable? I don't follow your reasoning.

Biarritz. Stainless Steel Roof. V8-6-4 engine. Satellite radio and alarm system. Body and mechanics are in great condition. Always stored for the winter, was my fathers prized possession. 8K or best offer. Clean title.

Not mine, nor would I pay anywhere near $8,000 for a Minnesota based 145,000 1981 Eldorado BUT it does show the overall quality of this era. That car does not look like a 145,000 mile car, beautiful!

Owned by my grandmother for 40 year, but she has passed. It's a beautiful car and recently had engine replaced. Red interior w white tufted leather seats. A true head turner.

Not sure whether to believe much about this ad, estate drop to a granddaughter, street photos with no open doors, replaced engine at 23,000 miles BUT - has the nicer aluminum wheelset I like, and I guess it's a Biarritz, but I personally do not see that as a plus, since virtually all 79-81 Eldorados were well equipped.

Last post by Bryan J Moran - Today at 03:26:49 PMNote that it languishes at 4 months old ad. Not sure what it is worth but I love those colors, something a bit different and no vinyl roof. Original colors you think?

Last post by Bryan J Moran - Today at 03:13:58 PMIt really is sad. Why did Cadillac even greenlight the 4100? And then stick with it for most of the decade and then replace it - after the respected 4.9 - with another under-engineered ticking time bomb?
I should not come on to bash but it was stream of consciousness writing. I think Mr. Landi has mentioned that the 4.1 era can get a motor swap. I would not "not" buy a 1979-1981. These cars are 42-44 years old, they will all need attention. Imagine the nicest 1979 in great colors, a Biarritz with 23,000 original miles. Still going to need to be "gone through."
