1974 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. 94,640 original miles!
Well I have never got as many looks in a vehicle before! A real show stopper. I am the second owner and vehicle has been stored the last 3 1/2 years. My current living situation does not allow for another vehicle so my project has to go. I paid $4500 for this car and put another $6800 into it. It still needs some love but when it is finished its going to be amazing. Only 7800 of these were built in 74. This one comes with the hard fiberglass parade boots as well! Drive great with a strong motor. Motor was rebuilt about 15K miles ago by the previous owner. 4500K miles ago the brakes,wheel barings, tye rods, electrical redone along with belt changes and a new radiator. At this time it was also painted this "speedboat" blue (kind of a blueish purple). Two years ago the starter and battery were replaced. This year I just put in a new convertible top motor. Had an appraisal done in Alberta Canada July 12 2007 that valued it at $15,000 (By Freelance Appraisal Group, Inc. Phillip Frank CPPA). I think that was being pretty kind as I have seen ones in better shape for less than that. Maybe Alberta has a huge demand for Eldy's of that vintage. I can make copies of the appraisal if need be and email you them if you request.

Here is what is not great:

-Transmission Fluid Leak from the Rear Pan. Just had it checked out ($145) and it would cost around $600 to fix this issue. I chose not to do so and just have kept an eye on the fluid.

-Convertible top frame needs some adjustment. I can get it up and down but it takes some effort and generally some help from a friend. I don't believe it would be a big issue for somebody that worked on convertible tops. But I sell beer for a living and i don't know what the heck I am doing!

-Seats are weathered a bit but have no tears or rips. Could probably just be re-dyed or seat covered.

-Door panels need to be re-upholstered.

-Weatherstripping could be re-done on windows and header

-Power windows all go up and down but sometimes need some help going up

-No antenna. Never had it when I bought it

-I had a CD player put in the glove box and I think the fuse blew on it but I can't get it out to check and I can't really be bothered. The unit is an Alpine

-The hood looks like it could use a new spring on the drivers side. Its not real noticeable but I want everything on the table.

-Air conditioning doesn't work. I guess it just needs a recharge but not certain on that one. Never really needed it with the top off.

-Cruise doesn't work either

This is pretty much what I know about the cars negatives. I would guess that it would take a few thousand dollars to make it look awesome. Or just someone who knew what they were doing!

Love this car. It is like driving a land yacht!

Any other questions please email me and I will try to answer them!
