1966 Cadillac Eldorado - Convertible - Excellent Driver & Ready For Summer! on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States

1966 Cadillac Eldorados are Extremely Rare! This Car is a Daily Driver! This Eldorado is a wonderful daily driver and a real head-turner! It is incredibly original and in excellent condition inside and out. Very few were made in this color combination of Tropic Green Firemist (basically a metallic green) and white leather with black accents. The interior is absolutely beautiful. Factory wood grain trim and door panels are in excellent condition. The dash is gorgeous as are all chrome and trim pieces. Gauges are clear and all operate as they should. Like most Eldorados, this car is equipped with several options. Features include climate control air conditioning, power windows, 8 way power seats, power steering and power brakes, AM-FM stereo, speed washer wipers, tilt & telescopic steering wheel and more. Even the clock still works (the original mechanicals have been upgraded to quartz movement). All lights and safety features work as they should. The A/C compressor, however, needs to be replaced, but it is a standard Delco part that is readily available and not expensive. The AM-FM stereo is particularly great. It is original to the car, but but I had the insides rebuilt with new modern components by S&M Electro-Tech. You can connect an iPod or other external source and play it through your original radio! (See http://www.turnswitch. The original, numbers-matching 429ci engine gets works wonderfully and gets plenty of power from its 340hp. The engine has just over 70,000 miles on the odometer. The GM Turbo Hydramatic TH400 automatic transmission shifts perfectly. This Eldo starts right up, drives straight, smooth and quietly. Dual servo self adjusting brakes were standard on the Eldorado. Stopping is a breeze --you will have plenty of time to wave at the people admiring your car and complimenting you on its condition. History and Maintenance This car has been extremely well maintained throughout its life. It has been kept in a heated garage during my ownership, and does not appear to have ever been parked outside for long periods of time. As noted above, this car was one of the last Eldorados that rolled out of Cadillac's Clark Street factory in 1966. It was completed in the second week of June, 1966, about 6 weeks before Cadillac began retooling for the 1967 model year. My research indicates that I am the Eldorado's third owner. It was originally sold in Michigan and then spent some time in Pennsylvania before it began attracting attention in Chicago in 2006. I have owned this Eldorado since June 2006, and have complete service records since then. I have used mechanics who specialize in maintenance and service of classic vehicles. Documentation includes original owners manual, Cadillac data/build sheet, replicated window sticker and more. Payment and Shipment If you are interested in mechanical inspection, message me to arrange it. You will pay the mechanic's fees, if any, associated with the inspection. Winning bidder must PayPal or wire transfer $1,000 within 2 days of auction closing with the balance due within three days thereafter (or as otherwise agreed upon). Winning bidder is responsible for shipping expenses (I can recommend a good auto transportation company). This vehicle is sold as is, where is and with all faults. This is a shipment contract within the meaning of section 2-509 of the Uniform Commercial Code. This is a true investment grade Cadillac Eldorado. Cadillacs are on the move these days, especially the Eldorados. This is one of the nicest out there. Get it now and enjoy the summer with the top down! |

Akerson says Cadillac will get a larger sedan within two years
Mon, 22 Jul 2013It seems that during a recent affair showing off the 2014 Cadillac CTS, General Motors CEO Dan Akerson confirmed reports regarding a new Cadillac flagship sedan. According to USA Today, which Akerson was visiting, he said that a sedan larger than the XTS would debut within the next two years.
This matches up with what we heard earlier in the month about a Cadillac model that will go up against the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class (not a pricier, low-volume sedan also discussed in that article). But this is the first time a high-profile executive name has been attributed to such a report, and the first time a broad timeframe has been mentioned. This article adds that the unnamed car will be rear-, and all-wheel drive with a platform "loosely based" on the new CTS, with styling closer to that car than recent Cadillac concept vehicles. The XTS will continue production of course, as well.
Cadillac ATS Coupe spy photos show more sedate two-door
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Remember when the Cadillac CTS Coupe debuted, and we were all like, "Oh hello there?" Well, don't expect the same thing to happen when the new ATS Coupe is unveiled - these brand new (overexposed) spy shots show a two-door that's decidedly more sedate than the angular yet curvaceous and all-around good-looking CTS Coupe. This isn't to say that the smaller Caddy Coupe won't be attractive - the four-door version is plenty pretty, to be sure - it just likely won't have that extra somethin'-somethin' to truly set it apart from the sedan.
Fine, then. We don't doubt that the two-door ATS will be just as enjoyable to drive as its sedan sibling, with a lot of the mechanical stuff likely carrying over unchanged. That includes the powertrain options, meaning buyers will be able to choose from the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-four, turbocharged 2.0-liter four, or larger free-breathing 3.6-liter V6.
Look for the 2014 ATS Coupe to enter production in January of next year, meaning a reveal later this year (LA Auto Show, perhaps?) would be in order.
GM recalling Cadillac ATS, XTS, Chevy Impala over faulty brake lamps
Thu, 06 Jun 2013General 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.
