General Comments:

Well this car was a mess when I got it, but I've given it some tender love and care. I put a new engine in the car, I bought a starter a few days ago, I fixed all 3 gas leaks, still working on mirrors, got a new battery,I going to smog it soon and the rest of the stuff still needs working on. This car is a classic and beauty at that. Its got plenty of power and gets me were I need to go. I take this car for a cruise every morning at around 5:30 AM. The paint job on it is pretty decent for a 79. I think this car is a good car for people who don't stress over cars that have minor problems here and there. The car has plenty of power and speed and it looks great to.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Fuel injection? 350 small block? That's not the original engine, is it. A friend of mine had a 1980 Eldo, it had the Caddy 368 with a 4 barrel carb.

Owner clearly stated he/she put a new engine in it.

According to the "Standard Catalog of Cadillac" the 350 engine with fuel injection was standard on the 1979 ElDorado. This was the same engine used in the 1975-79 Seville.
