1967 Cadillac Eldorado - Baroque Gold W/black Original Interior **no Reserve** on 2040-cars
Plano, Texas, United States
|
THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION!
I purchased this car from a seller here on eBay in September 2013, just a few short months ago. We had just returned from the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit, MI and I decided that it was time for a new weekend cruiser/ hobby car and I've always loved the body lines of the 1967 Cadillac Eldorado so I got this one. When I received the car it needed quite a few small repairs to get it on the road - new brake switch, fuse box work, turn signals, new bulbs, Unfortunately, my time is more limited that I thought it would be and I don't even get to take her out of the garage much, so I've decided to let her go. All in all, this is a very nice car! She is an head-turner every where we go and she is always ready for a nice easy cruise. The car runs and drives, handles pretty well, but as it is a 47 year old car, I'm sure that a lot can be improved on with a little time and effort - things like the drum brakes, suspension, etc. Before I get into the list of what's wrong, note that I've only owned her for less than 5 months (most of which were winter) and I've actually only driven her a handful of times for a grand total of less that 40 miles. Most of our trips have been up and down the street, cruising the neighborhood with the kids, or driving to a gathering of classic cars. Accessories and Options: Cruise Control (untested), remote drivers mirror (has crack), Power locks (work), power windows (work), Tilt steering wheel, map light on dash (works), 5 person lap seatbelts (all work). Engine: Runs fine. Starts up every time and runs strong. I do occasionally find an oil spot on the ground, but I think that's just surface grime dripping off of the hot engine. Transmission: Strong, easy shifts, great. Body: Very straight. I believe she was repainted at some point the original color - Baroque Gold. I believe the top is relatively new as well. Mouldings: All of the original mouldings and trim pieces are there. Again, I was told by the previous owner that they are all original. Wheels and Tires: original hubcaps and tires are in good condition with plenty of tread. Interior: The interior looks all original and is very good for 47 years old. The seats are tear free and the carpet, while stained a little, only has one tear near the drivers pedals. The dash is cracked (as seen in the pictures). Some surface rust on some of the metal parts. The dash could use some work - noted in electrical. Electrical: Headlights, taillights, brake lights, corner markers, interior map light and courtesy lights on lower dash all work perfectly. Turn signals work but the lever doesn't "click", so you have to hold it in the direction that you are turning to get it to flash (I purchased the kit to fix this, but just can't find the time - it will be included). A few interior lights don't work - not sure if it is switches or bulbs. Dash doesn't light. Speedometer cable clicks - needs to be replaced. I have a replacement Speedometer face/Odometer cluster that I purchased to replace the original with, but just haven't had the time - it will be included in the sale. Steering wheel and horn work, one pad screw is broken. Vacuum: The headlight doors open when you turn on the lights, but when you turn them off, they don't close automatically. I believe this is a vacuum leak, not sure. Documentation: Car still has the California title from previous owner. Not yet registered in Texas. The car comes with the original manuals and case in the glove compartment. Air Conditioning: Factory air is present and works, but doesn't blow cold. Beyond that, please look at the pictures. This car is a beauty and I only wish I had the ability to keep her and fix the little things needed to make her perfect. If you have any other specific questions, please contact me and I will answer them, provide more pics, whatever you require. Shipping is by the buyer. The down payment is due within 24 hours of auction end. If you can't buy the car, PLEASE don't bid on her! THIS USED CAR CARRIES NO WARRANTY and is sold AS IS WHERE IS! Thanks for looking and good luck! ************* LISTING REVISIONS AND ADDITIONS ********************** - Added the Body Plate photo per request - Added the car color name - "Baroque Gold" - Added the VIN number to the listing - Answered 3 questions from watchers - Added Air Conditioning info to listing |

GM delivers best Q3 sales since 1980, 2.4M vehicles sold
Wed, 15 Oct 2014People are a weird sort. Even after registering over 70 recalls through the first three-quarters of 2014, General Motors saw its best Q3 results since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, registering over 2.4 million global sales between June and September on the back of strong results in the US and China.
US sales were marshaled by good results for GM's pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, which bumped the manufacturer's truck market share to 35.6 percent, up nearly three points from Q1 2014. Buick has seen healthy growth as well, with the Encore dominating its segment for the sixth month running.
It was China, though, that really bolstered GM's sales, as the company's efforts to top last year's record-setting 3.16 million units continued apace. Small SUV sales saw massive growth, with Encore, Chevrolet Trax and Captiva figures jumping 90 percent in Q3. Brand-wise, Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick all saw sales gains in the PRC, with each recording double-digit year-over-year jumps. Cadillac sales alone were up 63 percent compared to the first nine months of 2013.
Cadillac LTS flagship to bow at NY Auto Show
Wed, 06 Aug 2014There is widespread agreement across the industry that Cadillac needs a proper, rear-drive flagship sedan that completes legitimately with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series.
Fortunately, the same view is held within the company, and just such a car - possibly dubbed LTS - is under development. According to a high-level source at Cadillac, the new four-door, which is said to incorporate design cues from the marque's celebrated Elmiraj coupe concept, will debut at the New York Auto Show next April.
If the car needs a cheerleader, surely incoming president Johan de Nysschen is just such a person. De Nysschen doesn't arrive at Cadillac until late in the month, but certainly he will want a proper flagship to do battle with his old foes at Mercedes-Benz and BMW and old friends at Audi and Infiniti.
Cadillac to fight Audi A3, Mercedes CLA with small rear-drive sedan?
Mon, 18 Aug 2014Compact luxury sedans are fast becoming the trend among upscale automakers. Mercedes has the new CLA (and its many platform-mates), BMW has the 1 Series and 2 Series, Audi has the A3 and, though Lexus apparently isn't interested in anything smaller than its CT 200h, Infiniti is getting in on the action with a compact model of its own. It would only follow logically, then, that Cadillac should launch a competitor, and according to the latest reports, that's just what it has in store.
Speaking with Car and Driver, Cadillac marketing chief Uwe Ellinghaus confirmed that such a project is in the works. But unlike its rivals, Cadillac aims to go with a rear-wheel-drive layout. This despite research that apparently indicates that a surprising 80 percent of owners think that their BMW 1 Series is front-drive. It's the driving dynamics and styling proportions that motivate Ellinghaus and his colleagues to stick with rear-drive, however.
The new model would in all likelihood be based on the same GM Alpha architecture that underpins the ATS and CTS - a platform that has helped Cadillac keep the weight down on both models and which is expected to underpin the next-generation Chevy Camaro, as well. The sub-ATS could be positioned as a four-door 2+2, however, as the ATS grows a little larger in its next iteration in order to make room for its new baby brother.
