Vehicle Description:

 

1968 Cadillac Eldorado project/restore:

 

 

Car is locally advertised so in the event an offer is accepted, I reserve right to end auction early so do not wait.


This is a 5 day no reserve auction. Please only bid if you intend on following thru with purchase and have funds in order prior to auction end.

 

 OK now for the car description...

 

It is recently out of 30+ year storage from ORIGINAL OWNER and ready for a new owner to bring her back to glory.

 

Car is equipped with power everything along with air conditioning.

  

I will be happy to answer any questions. Just email them. I also encourage the prospective buyers to view the car first if possible? Or have someone look at it for you.

 

 

ONLY 52,000 ORIGINAL Miles since New

I also have the ORIGINAL Dealer Invoice for car.

 

 

 Interior:

 

-Seats are 100% original factory white leather. They are  in decent shape with your normal leather cracks for their age but no tears or holes.

 

- Dashboard is great. Looks like new.

- Drivers side door panel needs replaced or fixed. The armrest is cracked.

- Power Windows ALL work good.

-All lights interior and exterior work

-A/c needs charged/serviced from sitting

 

Exterior:

 

-The paint on the car is the factory special order firemist blue.  Current condition of paint is fair(needs repainted).  The car is overall  solid with minimal rust issues to address.  Floors seems to be in good shape along with trunk floor.

 

 The trunk lid is rusted on rear lip but for additional $200, I know someone local here who has a rust free southern trunk lid. I could get it for buyer if interested??

 

-         Front and rear bumpers are in average condition. No rust but chrome is a bit hazy.

-         Door handle chrome is driver quality

-         All Stainless trim on car is in great shape

   

Engine:

 

  This car has not been driven since 1978.  A wire from the ignition switch on dash to starter went bad and that is why original owner parked the car in 1978 never to drive it again. The car was started 3 years ago from a gas can and hot wiring.

 

 Prior to starting it 3 years ago, the following was replaced

 

-new spark plugs

-new cap & rotor points

-new wires

-New Oil & Filter change

-Oil was sprayed in each cylinder and engine was first hand cracked to properly lube it up prior to cranking it since it sat so long.

The car started right up but was not driven. There is no exhaust hooked up at this time and I am sure brakes need overhauled as well

 

NOTE: The car has ALWAYS been stored in doors from 1978 to present.

It is a restoration project and will need to be trailered home.

 

Note: Any trim missing in photos on the car is located in the trunk (see trunk photo)

I also do have all 4 hub caps and they are included with the sale.

 

 

TOP:

Vinyl is in good condition but needs cleaned

 

 

I have tried to be very detailed and describe all I know about car. It is a project vehicle. Email questions. Thanks!

Check my feedback...      I have sold a few cars in the past and everyone is always very satisfied as I do my best to accurately describe the car in detail.  

 

Thanks again and GOOD LUCK

 Please Keep in  mind…

Off-road Cadillac Escalade adds some extra bush country capability

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

So, you're a dyed-in-the-wool General Motors fan, but like the notion of a machine like the Hennessey Velociraptor. We have good news for you. Behold the Aria Coachworks XPLORE Cadillac Escalade. For a modest fee, Aria will outfit your Escalade with a custom suspension, BF Goodrich all-terrain tires wrapped around aluminum wheels, a Warn winch and a special exhaust. There's even a snorkel option for those of you with aspirations toward deep water crossings. Consider yourself warned, however: unlike other GMT900 SUVs, the Cadillac only has an all-wheel drive system, not the more rugged four-wheel drive setup of the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon). Outside, the luxury SUV gets matte paint, black chrome trim, XPLORE power running boards and a roof rack system.
The interior also receives a few fun changes as well, but we're more interested in the fact that buyers can snag a power roof top tent. You know, in case you need to camp out at Best Buy for the PS4. There's also a matching camp trailer and, our personal favorite, a matching BMW GS motorcycle. Bikes not your bag of tricks? That's fine. Aria will also sell you a matched Airstream trailer or Old Town wooden canoes. As much as we want to hate this, we love the notion of bashing through the woods in a $100,000 Cadillac battlewagon with our GS in tow. Check the press release below for more information.

GM recalling Cadillac ATS, XTS, Chevy Impala over faulty brake lamps

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

General Motors has issued a recall covering 1,627 sedans over faulty brake lamps. Both the 2013 Cadillac ATS and XTS are affected by this problem, as is the 2014 Chevrolet Impala.
According to an official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, "the brake lamps may intermittently flash without the brakes being applied and the cruise control may disengage" on these vehicles. The report does not state that the brakes themselves are faulty, but rather that "if the brake lamps flash when the vehicle is not slowing, a following driver may not adjust vehicle speed when the vehicle is in fact braking."
This marks the first recall for the 2013 Cadillac ATS, as well as the recently introduced 2014 Chevy Impala. In late 2012, over 12,000 Cadillac XTS models were recalled due to a head restraint issue.

Cadillac Elmiraj has production potential

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

There are many reasons to love the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept, but not the least of which is how production-ready this big coupe appears to be. Take out the overly fancy interior and a few conceptual elements of the exterior, and this looks like a coupe that could be in dealers now as the successor to the Eldorado.
On top of that, Automotive News is quoting Bob Ferguson, Cadillac senior vice president, as saying that a production version of this car is "very doable." AN adds that if the Monterey showstopper gets the green-light, this car would compete against the upcoming Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe and would based on Cadillac's upcoming rear-wheel-drive flagship sedan due out in 2015. The range-topping coupe would debut sometime after the sedan model. Cross your fingers.
