1980 Holy Grail Eldorado!

1980 Cadillac Eldorado Biarrtiz. 3X White, 6.0 Cadillac Big Block EFI Engine, Astro Roof! 17K original miles, original car, collector owned, #1 condition car. This is the real thing here. One of the 2 good years with the good engine! This was a 20 year search to find. One of the nicest loaded and most desirable eldorados in the GOOD years. I wish I could find a near 0 mile example of an 80 like I have the later years... but to date, and with 20 years to boot, this is THE car for me... It wears my 1-CAD plate.

If you follow these 79-85 Eldorados, you know that from 82-85 the HT4100 was the engine used. If you do not know how disappointing of an engine that is, just run a google search and you will find all the information you can imagine, then some. Now lets just say the HT4100 happens to be the most reliable motor ever built... of which it was one of the worst.... the problem is when you push down the pedal, an HT4100 the car literally goes no where. Now the 80 Eldorado is different. It uses a 6.0 liter engine and has a 0-60 time in about the 9 second range. Now comparing this to a new corvette or Cadillac is not fair, but in its day this car was very peppy and today it is more than adequate in power. Next to the corvette and trans am of 1979, this car was no slouch at all actually. It also has a better power to weight ratio over its larger predecessors like the 76 Eldorado with the 500 engine. And when you start comparing what looks to be the exact same car in 82-83 to a 79-80.... they are nothing of the sorts. So many people have yet to understand the differences in this generation Eldorados, and I will tell you it is major. People seem to gravitate to the last year of a body style/model. But in the case of the 79-85 Eldorado the logic is backwards due to the engine options. The first 2 years are the good ones and so many people have missed that.

Now try finding a good 80 Eldorado. You really will not with 10 year on your hands and any money you want to talk. Why? Because the cars drove so good, people drove the wheels off of them. Very few true low mile examples like this exist, and if they happen to exist... they are probably brown or gold cars and have some other setback as to why they survived. Now look for an 82-85 Eldorado coupe with low miles..... The sky is the limit for you and at very affordable prices unless its fully loaded, or a convertible. They are everywhere in pretty good shape and low miles. Why? Well MANY of the 82-85s had the engines fail in the first year or so. Many were sent in for warranty replacement. Once the customer got the car back, they were scared of it... and they should have been. They tried to sell it before it broke again. Well when the word was out on the HT4100 and its issues, the resale of these cars in the day went straight to the ground like the stock market did here in the recent recession. So instead of getting 1/4 value for their cars, they just put them away and forgot about them. Probably was passed on to the next generation that did not understand why their parents actually saved the car... and it was not by choice. Well time seems to have healed and masked a lot of the HT4100 memories, but I can tell you when I push down the pedal on an HT4100, its 1982 all over again... and it was not good. 1979 and 1980 also were less production in those years too, so that is another factor why it is so hard to find an honest 79-80.

When you see a car like this one here and never knew why it so much different than all of the other Eldorados that look JUST like it.... The above is just the tip of the iceberg. It goes even deeper than that with the transmissions, radiators, and much more. Bottom line, 1979-1980 are the years to have and 81 is ok too with the 8-6-4... and this is only as long as you did not get the diesel or V6 option that is that many cars had in 79-81! Then add the fact you have a car with 3X white, Biarritz, 17K original miles, astro roof, fully loaded..... This is a true collector car that is more of a needle in a haystack than the layman will ever see without a long history of research. This was a once in 20 year find for me... and I look daily and have been known to pay out more money for the top examples of these cars than just about anyone.

Offered for sale to like collectors world wide.

The 2016 Pebble Beach Concept Lawn was nuts as always

Mon, Aug 22 2016

The Concept Lawn at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is like the smallest, most expensive car show you can imagine. A bunch of unobtanium concepts and almost-production models line an irregularly shaped putting green for people to stare at while on their way to see other, older insane cars. This year's crop was a particularly good one. We'll walk through the gallery above in order: That's a new Ford GT. Not quite a concept, but it's not in production yet, so we'll let it slide. Then there's the one-of-a-kind Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo that was recently bought by a Saudi Prince along with a matching Chiron. Next up is the Lamborghini Centenario Roadster, which was unveiled last week and is already sold out. This orange automobile is BMW's 2002 Hommage with its latest livery, a Jagermeister-themed affair called Turbomeister. This silver Infiniti, the Q80 Inspiration Concept, is an oldie but a goodie. It first appeared in Paris in 2014. The extremely long automobile after that is the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6, which was unveiled in Monterey this year. The 6 in the name is because it's 6 meters, or about 18 feet, long. Most of that's the hood. Next we have the one-of-99 Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato coupe, which continues to be beautiful. After that is a Fisker Karma with a V8, the VLF Destino. Thank you, Bob Lutz. The black sedan you see after that is the Cadillac Escala Concept, which also made its debut in Monterey this year. Then we have a Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge. Not a concept, but exclusive enough to join the others. Next is the McLaren 570GT customized by MSO that arrived for Pebble 2016. It has special design touches plus an electrochromic panel to replace the normal glass roof. The light blue car is the Genesis New York concept. The name didn't change even though it was in Monterey. Then we have the large and in charge Lincoln Navigator concept, taking up two regulation concept spots. The red car with suicide doors is Acura's Precision Concept, which we first saw at the Detroit show this year. Another non-concept, the Lexus LC 500h at least looks futuristic enough to be a show-specific car. And here's a 2017 Maserati Quattroporte, which is definitely not a concept. A Bentley Mulsanne EWB, because why not? It's not available in the US, so that almost qualifies for concept status. Then there's a reproduction Lister Knobbly, which we could stare at all day.

2015 Cadillac Escalade blings its way into LA

Thu, 21 Nov 2013

The new Cadillac Escalade sauntered out onto the Los Angeles Auto Show stage, showing off its new familial face and redesigned interior. That exterior, with its slim, wrap-over headlights and tall, vertical taillights (both made up of LEDs) is a subtle but significant departure from the past styling of General Motors' flagship SUV.
And while there's no shortage of stuff to discuss about the Caddy's exterior, its cabin is where the big changes happen. Aside from the column-mounted shifter, the cabin receives a heavy going-over, receiving Cadillac's new CUE infotainment system and a significant upgrade to the materials. Comparing it to furniture, Eric Clough, Cadillac's director of design for interiors, said, "An exceptional level of craftsmanship has gone into the redesign of the 2015 Cadillac Escalade, and it all centers on the premium materials and extensive use of cut-and-sew live stitching."
Under hood sits a 420-horsepower, 460-pound-foot, 6.2-liter V8. Fitted with direct injection and active fuel management, fuel economy for the big Escalade should get a much-needed boost beyond the current model's 14-city and 18-highway miles per gallon, although official numbers haven't been published quite yet. A six-speed automatic is the sole gearbox choice. Cadillac has also fitted the new Escalade with GM's magnetic ride control system, which should deliver a more refined ride than its predecessor.

Cadillac XTS to become Opel flagship sedan?

Tue, 24 Jul 2012

According to Auto-News.de, Opel is considering using Cadillac's all-new big sedan, the XTS, as the base for its new flagship car, which would likely carry the name Omega.
WorldCarFans.com speculates that Opel could use GM's 3.6-liter direct-injection V6 that generates 304 horsepower or, possibly, a 2.8-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine that creates 321 horsepower to power the vehicle. The European automaker could even use a 195-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine in this application - fine, since many of Europe's largest sedans are powered by smaller, more efficient engines.
Regardless of power, the Omega could arrive at dealerships by the end of 2013.
