1985 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe

Original Saddle Tan Firemist Exterior with Matching Vinyl Roof and Light Tan Leather Interior

4.1L V8 and 4-Speed Automatic Transmission

Excellent 100% Original Condition with Only 37,489 Original Miles

This 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe is a superb 100% original example of the final year of the final generation of traditional Eldorados; the model was dramatically downsized and downgraded the next year. We purchased the car from Daniel Schmitt & Co. of St. Louis, who bought it from its original owner in Palm Springs, California (see original listing here). Since then it has been garage kept and driven locally in good weather only. With only 37,489 original miles it has been driven less than 1,500 miles a year, and its condition reflects its exceptionally low mileage.

It is finished in original Saddle Tan Firemist paint with matching vinyl roof and a light tan leather interior. Inside and out, it presents exceptionally well for its age with no major cosmetic flaws. The paint is still shiny, the leather trim still soft and supple. There is no rust or body damage.

As befits one of the premier American luxury cars of its era, it is fitted with a high level of equipment including 4.1L V8 engine, 4-speed automatic transmission, leather upholstery, wire wheel covers, automatic climate control, power windows, power door locks, power driver's seat and more.

The car has just had the oil changed, transmission fluid flushed and the rear self-leveling air suspension repaired. The car will also have a new battery installed before being delivered to its new owner. The only significant mechanical flaw of which we are aware of is that the air conditioner needs a recharge as it no longer blows cold.

This is an excellent opportunity to buy one of the best examples you will find of this generation of Eldorado.

Please remember that while this car is in excellent condition, it is still a used car, and therefore has wear consistent with its age and (very low) mileage.

We believe this listing is a fair and accurate representation of the car and its condition, to the best of our knowledge. However, because of its age, it is being sold as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Please feel free to ask us any questions you may have and we will be happy to answer them to the best of our ability.

The car is located in Islip, Long Island, NY. The buyer is welcome to collect the car in person, or it can be shipped to them. If the buyer chooses to have the car shipped, the buyer will be responsible for all shipping charges and for making all shipping arrangements.

The winning bidder will be required to pay a deposit of $1,000.00 via PayPal within 48 hours of the close of the auction. Full payment via cashier's check is required within 7 days of the close of the auction. Payment may also be in cash at the time of pick-up if the buyer chooses to pick the car up in person. If the buyer chooses to have the car shipped, we will not ship the car until we have received full payment.

Please note that this car is for sale to US and Canadian buyers only.

Thank you and good luck!

Hennessy wastes no time in supercharging the 2015 Cadillac Escalade

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

The ink is still drying on the all-new 2015 Cadillac Escalade sales brochures, but that hasn't stopped Texas-based Hennessey Performance (HPE) from leaping out of the gate with its own high-performance variant. In stock form, the big fourth-generation Cadillac flagship arrives with a new small block naturally aspirated 6.2-liter Ecotec3 V8 delivering 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Fresh out of the showroom, the 5,900-pound SUV will sprint to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds.
While that is plenty fast for some owners, others don't want to be shamed by a 550 horsepower Mercedes-Benz GL63 AMG or a 510 horsepower Land Rover Range Rover Sport - both will leave the stock Escalade at a stoplight.
The team at HPE has come to the rescue with its HPE550 supercharger upgrade, which includes a belt-driven supercharger, air-to-water intercooler, recalibrated engine management software and a three-year/36,000 mile powertrain warranty. With 6 psi of boost, the direct-injected 6.2-liter is tuned to deliver an impressive 557 horsepower and 542 pound-feet of torque - gains of 32 percent and 18 percent, respectively, over stock. Although HPE isn't releasing performance figures as of yet, our math says that should be enough power to put the two Europeans in the Cadillac's rearview mirror. The company also offers a set of 20-inch lightweight H10 forged monoblock wheels, to further improve performance.

2014 Cadillac CTS images leak out yet again

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

It seems the 2014 Cadillac CTS just doesn't want to stay under wraps. For the second time in as many days, Caddy's next sedan is showing a bit more sheetmetal than the automaker would like before it is officially debuted tomorrow at the New York Auto Show.
This time, the leak comes from USA Today, and we've gone ahead and added them to our gallery of 2014 CTS images. As you may know, Cadillac will bestow the next CTS with an all-new twin-turbo V6 engine that will offer up an impressive 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
USA Today also mentions a new Vsport model but doesn't give any more details other than the fact that it will boast the twin-turbo engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Of course, all you have to do is come back to these pages for the official unveiling tomorrow afternoon for all the sordid details. In the meantime, check out the images above.
