Just got around to sitting down at my computer to do additional research on the Allante, for there are two that interest me in the Colorado area.
Being new to the forum it is best that I introduce myself.
Screen name is "Mountain Pilot" for I do live in the mountains and I have been a pilot for 47 years... But really I am Richard Cutter living in a little farm town of Monte Vista in the far southern/central part of Colorado and at 7,600 ft. We are in a large valley surrounded by 13 to 14,000 ft mountains.
I do have many cars but this being a Cadillac Forum I will stick with that. A 1985 Eldorado that was my Fathers sits in the driveway and getting a complete make over, also the search is on for an Allante.
I have two choices right now, both have only seen in photos for they are 230 miles away, a nice 110Kmi 1989 that looks very clean and well cared for Red with Black Interior. then there is a 1992, 135K mi, Red with two tone Grey ( ? ) interior, nice but not as clean as the '89. It needs a little seat re-stitching and in the future the hood repainted.
I like the interior colors of the 92 better and guess it has some upgrades that were not available in '89. They are asking $750 less for the '92.
Looks like the '92 spent more time outside where as the '89 spent most of it's time garages. Last 8 years stored but has been fully gone through with new battery, oil changes, etc. It's transmission was replaced about 10k mi. ago with a GM rebuilt unit.
I am torn between the two.. Let's hear recommendations from you that have experience with these years.
