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.

More like 23,000 miles in dog miles. Check out the sand blasted leading edge of the hood, newer turn signals, ebay power antenna, wheel arch rust blisters, corroded wheels, dried out exploding dash pad,  missing top trim...good thing they didn't open the doors!

It's worth it all day with that mighty cast iron motor though  ;D

Likely 123k miles... those seats are really durable and don't show much wear if reasonably kept in shape. New engine? Really?  I agree, and we should all hope that any person sufficiently interested gets a thorough inspection and negotiates a realistic price...
