Vehicle Description:

 

1968 Cadillac Eldorado project/restore:

 

 

Car is locally advertised so in the event an offer is accepted, I reserve right to end auction early so do not wait.


This is a 5 day no reserve auction. Please only bid if you intend on following thru with purchase and have funds in order prior to auction end.

 

 OK now for the car description...

 

It is recently out of 30+ year storage from ORIGINAL OWNER and ready for a new owner to bring her back to glory.

 

Car is equipped with power everything along with air conditioning.

  

I will be happy to answer any questions. Just email them. I also encourage the prospective buyers to view the car first if possible? Or have someone look at it for you.

 

 

ONLY 52,000 ORIGINAL Miles since New

I also have the ORIGINAL Dealer Invoice for car.

 

 

 Interior:

 

-Seats are 100% original factory white leather. They are  in decent shape with your normal leather cracks for their age but no tears or holes.

 

- Dashboard is great. Looks like new.

- Drivers side door panel needs replaced or fixed. The armrest is cracked.

- Power Windows ALL work good.

-All lights interior and exterior work

-A/c needs charged/serviced from sitting

 

Exterior:

 

-The paint on the car is the factory special order firemist blue.  Current condition of paint is fair(needs repainted).  The car is overall  solid with minimal rust issues to address.  Floors seems to be in good shape along with trunk floor.

 

 The trunk lid is rusted on rear lip but for additional $200, I know someone local here who has a rust free southern trunk lid. I could get it for buyer if interested??

 

-         Front and rear bumpers are in average condition. No rust but chrome is a bit hazy.

-         Door handle chrome is driver quality

-         All Stainless trim on car is in great shape

   

Engine:

 

  This car has not been driven since 1978.  A wire from the ignition switch on dash to starter went bad and that is why original owner parked the car in 1978 never to drive it again. The car was started 3 years ago from a gas can and hot wiring.

 

 Prior to starting it 3 years ago, the following was replaced

 

-new spark plugs

-new cap & rotor points

-new wires

-New Oil & Filter change

-Oil was sprayed in each cylinder and engine was first hand cracked to properly lube it up prior to cranking it since it sat so long.

The car started right up but was not driven. There is no exhaust hooked up at this time and I am sure brakes need overhauled as well

 

NOTE: The car has ALWAYS been stored in doors from 1978 to present.

It is a restoration project and will need to be trailered home.

 

Note: Any trim missing in photos on the car is located in the trunk (see trunk photo)

I also do have all 4 hub caps and they are included with the sale.

 

 

TOP:

Vinyl is in good condition but needs cleaned

 

 

I have tried to be very detailed and describe all I know about car. It is a project vehicle. Email questions. Thanks!

Check my feedback...      I have sold a few cars in the past and everyone is always very satisfied as I do my best to accurately describe the car in detail.  

 

Thanks again and GOOD LUCK

 Please Keep in  mind…

   This car is sold as is with no warranty expressed, written or implied. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle (personally or through the pictures provided and questions asked), and to have satisfied him or herself as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgment solely.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.

Former Cadillac boss Butler takes Ford tech job

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

When Don Butler made the surprising decision to leave his post as Cadillac's VP of global strategic development, it was a surprise. Citing a desire to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities" in that August announcement, it wasn't entirely clear where Butler - a virtual General Motors lifer after spending nearly 30 years with the company - would end up. Turns out he took a trip to Dearborn.
Butler has taken a position in the newly created position of Executive Director of Connected Vehicles and Services at Ford, where he'll be responsible for the Blue Oval's global connectivity strategy. "Not only does Don understand the connected car landscape, but probably just as important, he understands customer expectations," said Raj Nair, who, as Group Vice President of Global Product Development, is Butler's new boss. "Having a leader with technology experience both inside and outside the industry is a rare combination - we're excited to have Don join our team."
As Ford has received its fair share of flak for the sometimes recalcitrant MyFord Touch infotainment system and its Sync voice-controls, it appears that Butler has his work cut out for him.

Cadillac highlights craftsmanship in latest Escalade teaser videos

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

Cadillac, in case you haven't heard, is unveiling the new Escalade on October 7, completing the redesign of General Motors' large SUV range. The event is proceeding with the regular degree of "teasers" and "leaked images" that is typical of the automotive world, nowadays.
As the new Escalade's reveal date grows closer, Cadillac is trumping up interest for the new SUV, debuting five short teaser videos on its YouTube channel. While not showing much about the Escalade itself, the spots reveal plenty about its materials. Real wood and hand-stitched leather are highlighted, while we get another glimpse of the Escalade's vertically oriented headlights. Take a look below for all five spots.
