Motivated Seller!

Charlotte, North Carolina

I am selling this car for the family of the owner, who recently passed away. He was a great friend to those of us in the local Cadillac & La Salle Club, and had beautifully kept this car over the years mostly only driving it to local car shows, to regional meets, and to a few Grand National events. It was his baby and it shows!

These cars were the “king of the road” back in 1977, and this Eldorado is fully loaded, with nearly all available options for the year including the highly desirable Biarritz trim package, a dealer installed Sunroof, Power Recliner on the Passenger Seat, AM/FM Stereo Radio with 8 Track Player and Power Antenna, Cruise Control, Automatic Climate Control, Power Windows, Locks, Steering, Brakes, and gorgeous leather interior with no cracks and very little signs of wear, with contrasting red dash and red carpeting.

Believe it or not, even the Cruise Control and Power Antenna work!

The car is super comfortable, has quite a bit of power for such a large car, and drives quietly, straight, and smooth. The engine and transmission perform as they should with no issues. All lighting works, even the opera lamps! All of the windows and door locks work. The stereo plays beautifully and all speakers are alive with great sound.

The car was meticulously maintained over the years, with many records since 1987 available to the new owner.

Notable replaced items include:

· Repainted front and rear bumper fillers

· Driver’s side and passenger’s side interior door panels for show quality!

· Generator

· Radiator

· Coker Wide Whitewall Tires

· Interior Armrests

· Brakes, including pads, hoses, rotors

· Routine service of all fluids as needed.

· Engine exhaust manifold

· Valve Cover Gaskets

· Transmission Pan Gasket

· Air Conditioning Compressor and Condenser (R12)

Car is in amazingly solid condition for the year and for the age. Mileage is low, and original!

I observed a few items that will need attention soon, including:

1. Climate Control functions as expected, including cooling / heating, and all fan speeds and temperature settings. However, A/C could use a recharge as it blows cool not cold.

2. Driver’s side power seat motor is inoperable – Seat is currently in the furthest back position.

3. Small trim piece attaches to right side of rear bumper filler underneath license plate – in photos it’s not attached, but we have the part and it can be attached with trim adhesive.

4. Car is due for fluid service, including oil and filter change.

There are no oil leaks anywhere under the car. The transmission pan gasket seeps slightly and will drip 2-3 drops every 2 weeks. Minor but wanted to mention anyway.

Check out the link to 118 photos of the car, from many aspects and angles:

First Cadillac ELR rolls off the line

Thu, 30 May 2013

Gearing up for the Belle Isle Grand Prix this weekend, General Motors invited some of the Chevrolet and Cadillac racecar drivers out to its Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant. While there, the racers - including IndyCar Driver and Chevrolet Volt owner, Simona De Silvestro - witnessed the very first 2014 Cadillac ELR to roll off the assembly line.
These vehicles are not destined for customers, however, but instead pre-production units will be used by engineers for testing purposes. Actual production of ELR consumer models is expected to commence closer to the end of this year. As a refresher, this range-extended electric Cadillac shares much of its powertrain with the Volt but will have a sportier coupe design inspired by the Converj Concept. De Silvestro manged to snap a few images of here own, which you can see in the gallery below.

Cadillac CTS-V spotted with big exhaust, new grille?

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

If you thought Cadillac was content to leave its twin-turbocharged Vsport as the range-topping CTS, think again. Behold, our first good glimpse at the next-generation Cadillac CTS-V sedan, sporting more aggressive styling (somewhere under there), meaty quad-exhaust pipes, and what very well could be a new face for the V-badged Caddies.
Creating an all-new grille design seems like an awful lot of work just for a prototype, so it's very possible that the vertical-bar treatment you see here could make its way into production. Our spy photographers have pointed out that they've seen this same sort of grille treatment on prototypes for the smaller ATS-V sedan, and we've heard V-series models may soon have greater differentiation from the standard vehicles that sired them - that seems especially necessary if Cadillac insists on expanding this whole Vsport range.
Regardless of how its front end looks, the CTS-V ought to be a real monster. Industry sources say we can expect to see a supercharged version of General Motors' 6.2-liter V8 under the Caddy's hood, and considering the current car already makes 556 horsepower and 551 pound-feet of torque, we wouldn't be surprised to see a decent increase in both of those numbers. After all, one of the CTS-V's main competitors, the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, is currently putting out 550 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. Could this mean a 600-hp Cadillac is on the horizon?

Cadillac HQ has a New York address

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

The new home of Cadillac will be in the 330 Hudson building in New York City's Hudson Square, putting the luxury marque smack dab in the middle of three of the city's hippest areas, SoHo, Greenwich Village and Tribeca.
The announcement is yet another milestone in the company's controversial decision to relocate administrative and marketing operations away from Detroit and into the Big Apple.
"The addition of a headquarters office in New York is a key step in Cadillac's ongoing global expansion," Cadillac boss Johan de Nysschen said, according to The Detroit Free Press. "There is no better atmosphere in which to better immerse ourselves into luxury consumer and brand expertise."
