1968 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe

In 1967 Cadillac transformed the Eldorado into a whole new “Personal Luxury” automobile. The all new Eldorado Coupe shared the Oldsmobile Toronado’s United Power Plant Package and front wheel drive set up. The redesigned Eldorado was a very crisp and distinct model that gave the brand a very modern and competitive edge in the luxury marketplace. The Eldorado was an instant success and for model year 1968 disc brakes became standard along with new safety features and by 1968.

I am pleased to offer this very rare and desirable 1968 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe presented in lovely Monterey Green Firemist Metallic over White leather and black interior. This Eldorado has had a repaint in its original Monterey Green Firemist some time ago and still looks very nice retaining an excellent shine. The original leather interior is great with absolutely no tears or fading. The driver door arm rest does show some cracking and wear. The original black carpets are still intact along with the cars original dashboard and vinyl headliner. The car still retains its original Cadillac wheels, steering wheel, radio, and all of its original interior and exterior trim. This Eldorado starts right up and runs very well, it idles very nicely and the transmission shifts smoothly without any issues. The brakes feel great, the suspension feels nice and is free from any rattles or squeaks. The chrome on the exterior looks nice but does show a little pitting on the lower and a couple bubble spots on the lower area. The body is very straight and accident and dent free. There are a couple spots that are bubbling under the paint, one on the lower left hood and a couple small spots in the trunk area. The headlights are powered by vacuum assist and work well, all of the lights work. All of the exterior lights are working, the reverse lights, side marker lights and headlights are all working. Interior lights work, the power windows are in working order and even the power seats are in working order. Original spare tire in in truck. This Cadillac is a very nice original low-mile car that had become increasingly hard to find over the past few years.  If you are looking for a very nice, well maintained and rare original early Eldorado Coupe this is it, an extremely handsome and nice example.

The mileage is actually 103,300
