about this vehicle specifically. Here we
go: 1976 Cadillac
Eldorado Convertible VIN # 6 L 6 7 S 6 Q 2 1 0 2 0 0 This Eldo was born at the
Detroit, MI General Motors Plant I purchased this very desirable triple white on red Eldorado from a very nice and honest man in November 2010. The car was in NY and I had it sent down to Orlando, Florida, where we have a vacation home. This Vehicle has gone through a body on re-vamping. The undercarriage of the car is solid and did not need to be touched. The body is almost rust free and straight. It runs and drives as a 65,000 mile Cadillac should. Important: when I bought the car, it was advertised 65,320 original miles. The previous owner, who I believe, told me it was for real. But I rely don`t know. The odomoter was not working when I got the car, and is not working now. I know I put less than a thousand miles on it, as I only use it during vacation. So let`s say it has probably 66,000 miles. As you will see from the
pictures, the gentleman who owned this car before really took pride in it looking and
running great. But remember: this is an almost 40years old car. There`s always some things to be done. I am not a mechanic, but I think a lot of things were replaced: Looks like most of the gaskets on original motor are replaced Radiator Exhaust system from crossover back and all
header gaskets are new Power steering system Alternator New Battery (this is the only thing I replaced myself) Cap, rotor, and wires (New Wires are Grey in Color) Master Cylinder Wiper Motor Hood Hinges New Original A/C Unit All Lines New and System Fitted to R-134A & it works New Fiberglass Front and Rear Bumper and Fender extensions
including all Fillers All Headlights, Tail Lights, Cornering Lamps, Indicators on
top of the fenders all work and function properly. That’s Awesome!! All Windows and Convertible top function as they should Power Bucket Seats Function properly Cruise Control is fully functional Light Sentinel Wipers with Delay New Leather Interior Seats (Not Vinyl) Auto trunk closer New Top Latch But again, I`m not a mechanic and I only had to change the battery. Here are some Video Links of the Eldorado: Convertible Top and Windows Going up and Down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU1EWgWqAdE Eldorado Driving on Parking Lot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF8ZmgwkClo
A couple of the tolerances are off on the car. One is on the passenger door and one is by the trunk. It looks like during assembly after painting that they just need to be readjusted. The body looks great, but the painting is not perfect. You inspect properly and you will find some details of imperfection. All chrome on this car is close to perfect, solid, and shiny. There is one small area on the front bumper upon inspection that the chrome looks a little imperfect. Tires are in great shape and probably have 7/8 of their life left. There are two different brands of tires on the car. Don’t know why. The interior is rely beatifull and in great shape. The seats are white, perfect, new, and leather. All panels in the car are white and perfect with no cracks. The dash is perfect with only one small crack hidden when the driver’s door is closed. The top has a small tear in the passenger side, but weather can’t enter. Still, getting a new one is something that you should consider. The rear window is Glass. This car does not have the Original Radio and the antenna is not powered. This car is not a show car, but it is one that you can put in your local shows and I think it may take home a trophy. You may
ask, “Why are you getting rid of the car?” The previous owner was getting married. I only drive this car during my vacations in Florida which do not take much time anymore. If you were to buy an Eldorado that needed some work and you did all of these things to it, you would spend probably 10, 15, or even 20 thousand dollars to get it to where this car is today. The Reserve price is set very reasonably for this Triple White Convertible Eldorado. |

Junkyard Gem: 1973 Cadillac Eldorado
Mon, Jun 13 2016The 1971-1978 Cadillac Eldorado was a gloriously ridiculous personal luxury coupe, packing a monstrous 500-cubic-inch V8 (that's 8.2 liters for you freedom-hating metric types) under its acre-sized hood for the first five years of production. Fuel economy was comfortably into single-digit territory, which meant you had to be a real high roller to be able to feed a new Eldo after OPEC turned off the oil spigot. I found this '73 in a Denver wrecking yard earlier this spring. View 18 Photos This car appears to have been sold new in Denver, and the extensive bodywork and sanded areas indicate that it was someone's project car prior to coming to the end of the line. The front-wheel-drive system used in the Cadillac Eldorados and Oldsmobile Toronados of this era was known as the Unified Powerplant Package, and it used a longitudinally-mounted engine feeding a chain-drive setup that proved to be amazingly sturdy and reliable. So sturdy, in fact, that it was used in gigantic front-wheel-drive GMC motorhomes. Everyone agrees that these cars are cool, but few are willing to rescue a rough example and take on the difficult and expensive job of a full restoration. This one isn't rusty, but that wasn't enough to save it. Related Video:
Mixed sales results, but automaker stocks rise on need for cars in Houston
Fri, Sep 1 2017DETROIT — The Big Three Detroit automakers on Friday reported better-than-expected August sales and issued optimistic outlooks for demand as residents of the Houston area replace flood-damaged cars and trucks after Hurricane Harvey, sending their stocks higher. General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler posted mixed August U.S. sales, with GM up 7.5 percent and Ford and Fiat Chrysler down. Japanese automaker Toyota improved sales by nearly 7 percent, while Honda fell 2.4 percent. Still, analysts focused on the potential for Detroit automakers to cut inventories and stabilize used vehicle prices as residents of Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States, are forced to replace tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of vehicles after the devastation from Hurricane Harvey. Mark LaNeve, Ford's U.S. sales chief, told analysts on Friday that following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 "we saw a very dramatic snapback" in demand. That said, Ford sales fell 2.1 percent in August. It sold 209,897 vehicles in the United States, compared with 214,482 a year earlier. Sales were down 1.9 percent in the Ford division and off 5.8 percent at Lincoln. Demand was down for cars, crossovers and SUVs. It was not clear how many vehicles in the Houston area will be scrapped, LaNeve said, saying he had seen estimates ranging from 200,000 to 400,000 to 1 million. Ford's Houston dealers may have lost fewer than 5,000 vehicles in inventory, he said. Ford is the No. 1 automaker in the Houston market, with 18 percent share, according to IHS Markit. The company plans to ship used vehicles to Houston dealers and has "every indication we would have to add some production" of new vehicles to meet demand, LaNeve said. Investor concerns about inventories of unsold vehicles and falling used car prices have weighed on Detroit automakers' shares most of this year. Now, automakers can anticipate a jolt of demand from a big market that is a stronghold for Detroit brand trucks and SUVs. "It's got to be a positive for the industry," LaNeve said. Investors appeared to agree. GM shares rose as much as 3.3 percent to their highest since early March. Ford increased 2.8 percent at $11.34, and Fiat Chrysler's U.S.-traded shares were up 5.2 percent $15.91, hitting their highest in more than five years. GM reported a 7.5 percent increase in U.S. auto sales in August, helped by robust sales of crossovers across its four brands.
2015 Cadillac ATS sedan gets early reveal in making-of video
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Cadillac is apparently preparing to roll out a minor facelift for the ATS sedan - which we know not because General Motors has already revealed it or because we're looking at it in a fresh batch of spy shots (though we've seen that too), but because a behind-the-scenes video from the filming of its commercial has leaked out online. Which may be bad news for Cadillac, and even worse news for the film production company, but good news for us, because we get to see it ahead of schedule.
The revised sports sedan seems to be sporting a new front bumper and less egg-cratey grille with Caddy's new wreath-less badge at its center, all apparently put in place to bring the sedan more in line with the new ATS coupe.
We're sure Cadillac will be revealing the updated 2015 ATS sedan shortly, but you can scope it out right now in the video below. By way of comparison, we've included an image gallery of the current ATS, released back in 2013, as well.
