I normally would not bother posting an $1,800 project Cadillac Eldorado BUT - this one appears super straight and unmolested. The ad says 130,000 miles but there are clues this may be less mileage.  Original paint, original interior that is still decent and dash pad appears OK.    Has usual long sitting hot humid summer - cold humid winter wear and dirt.  Note the rare factory sunroof. 

 

To me, I like forest-hunter green as a color, this just looks so dirty it is hard to tell.

Some of the most interesting items are unmolested dirty "projects" or parts cars. Green is a color that was out of favor for a long spell...

 If it's a '70 with the original engine it's a one-year-only 500 cubic inch factory rated at 400 horsepower.

I posted on the Cadillac forum and someone confirmed it is a 1970, so the seller on facebook is incorrect. Or, it does have 130,000 miles and has had a replacement 472.  Both engines were nice in my opinion, except they of course are thirsty.  

 

I really want to go inspect this one.
