1976 Cadillac Eldorado Base Convertible 2-door 8.2l on 2040-cars
Cheswick, Pennsylvania, United States
1976 CADILLAC ELDORADO CONVERTIBLE "....LAST OF THE GREAT CONVERTIBLES...." THIS CAR IS A SURVIVOR, WITH ONLY +-26,000 MILES IT WAS OBVIOUSLY LOVED BY ITS PREVIOUS OWNERS. TOP FUNCTIONS GREAT, ALL POWER WINDOWS WORK. RADIO AND EIGHT TRACK PLAYER WORK WELL (SMALL COLLECTION OF 8 TRACK TAPES INCLUDED). DRIVES PRETTY MUCH AS NEW, FLOATS DOWN THE ROAD AND WANDERS JUST LIKE YOU WOULD EXPECT A CAR OF THIS ERA TO DO. POWER TRUNK PULL DOWN AND REMOTE RELEASE WORK PERFECTLY. ALL GLASS IS GOOD. CHROME IS SHINY, AND TIRES ARE ABOUT 75%. INTERIOR AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES IS PRETTY MUCH PERFECT, NEEDS MINOR CLEANING BUT OTHERWISE AS NEW. CAR HAS BOTH HARD AND SOFT BOOT. WHEEL COVERS ORIGINAL. BRAKES ABOVE 60%, DISC BRAKES FRONT AND REAR. ENGINE RUNS GREAT, WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THE CADILLAC DEALER HAD JUST REPLACED THE QUADRA-JET CARB. NO LEAKS EVIDENT ANYWHERE. CAR WAS UNDERCOATED WHEN NEW AND STILL MAINTAINS ALL OF THE PRODUCT WHICH IN RETURN HAS PRESERVED THE UNDERSIDE FROM THE ELEMENTS. NEWER LOOKING EXHAUST (UNSURE OF WHEN OR IF REPLACED). POWER SEATS WORK LIKE NEW. DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANELS ARE DAMAGE FREE AS ARE THE SEATS. ALL LIGHTS WORK INCLUDING TWILIGHT SENTINEL AND AUTO DIMMING BRIGHT HEADLAMPS. OF COURSE THIS CAR IS ALMOST 40 YEARS OLD, SOME THINGS COULD USE A LITTLE HELP. THE RADIO ANTENNA WORKS, BUT IS JUST BEGINNING TO NOT RETRACT ALL THE WAY. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO WORK, NOT SURE IF IT IS SWITCH OR MISTAKE WHEN NEW CARB WAS INSTALLED. A/C BLOWS BUT IS NOT COLD, HAVE NOT INVESTIGATED, MAY JUST NEED CHARGED - NOT SURE. RADIO WORKS BUT THE SPEAKERS SOUND AS THOUGH THE BASS CONES MAY BE DAMAGED. TOP FUNCTIONS COMPLETELY BUT THE MATERIAL IS ORIGINAL TO THE CAR, THEREFORE IT SHOULD BE REPLACED AS THERE ARE TWO SMALL HOLES IN THE DRIVER REAR AND THE STITCHING IS BEGINNING TO DETERIORATE FROM AGE. PAINT APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL AND IS THEREFORE BEGINNING TO WEAR THIN ON SOME OF THE SHARPER EDGES AND HOOD/TRUNK ARE STARTING TO SHOW AGE. APPEARS THAT BUMPER FILLERS FRONT AND REAR WERE REPLACED AT SOME TIME BUT ARE LIKE NEW. CARB SEEMS TO NEED ADJUSTED AS CAR OCCAISIONALLY STALLS BUT FIRES RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN. THIS CAR IS A VERY NICE HONEST DRIVER, NOT A BARRETT-JACKSON "STUPID" TYPE RESTORATION. WINNING AT LOCAL SHOWS, CRUISING DOWN THE BOULEVARD, HAVING A BLAST WITH THE FAMILY....ALL THESE THINGS THIS CAR WOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE IMMEDIATELY. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PROJECT TO TAKE TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND GIVE IT A "STUPID" RESTORATION THIS CAR IS A GREAT MONEY SAVING STARTING PLACE. MILEAGE MAY VARY FROM LISTING AS THE CAR IS STILL BEING ENJOYED WHEN POSSIBLE. |

Sunday Drive: Classic American nameplates and one exciting new German
Sun, Mar 25 2018Our look back at last week's biggest automotive stories focuses first on the Jeep Wagoneer, an unequivocal American classic. Not only did the Wagoneer play a pivotal role in kicking off America's current love affair with the sport utility vehicle, it legitimized the Jeep brand in the mind of consumers looking not just for something to ably take them off the beaten path, but to do so in comfort, with the entire family along for the ride. So it comes as little surprise that Jeep decided to take one vintage Wagoneer, modernize it with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine, and put the thing on display as part of its annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari. We're in love. Our next two stories focus on Cadillac. First up is news that the striking Escala Concept is headed for production in 2021 to serve as the brand's flagship luxury sedan. The second story involves Caddy's current top rung, the CT6, which gets a new twin-turbo V8 engine as part of its V-Sport package. And finally, we round out this look at last week's headlines with the 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe and Cabriolet. We're mighty keen to try out Benz's new AMG-fettered turbocharged inline-six engine, and the C Coupe looks like a fine point of entry. As always stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the latest automotive news. Jeep delivers basketful of concepts for the Moab Easter Jeep Safari Cadillac's striking Escala concept is reportedly headed for production Cadillac CT6 V-Sport wants to take prisoners with 550-hp 4.2L TT V8 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe and Cabriolet revealed ahead of New York
Jay Leno welcomes a 2016 Cadillac CTS-V into the garage
Tue, Nov 17 2015After checking out a multitude of classic cars and customs over the past few weeks, Jay Leno switches things up with a modern performance machine in the latest video from the garage – a 2016 Cadillac CTS-V. Leno is curious about Caddy's attempt to challenge the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S, and he takes a long, technical look at the sedan with chief engineer David Leone. Not content to just peek under the hood, Leno puts the CTS-V up on the rack to see what it packs underneath the svelte body. Once he gets the lowdown on the Caddy's engineering, it's time for a drive. Leno also flexes his interviewing skills while behind the wheel and gets even more info about the CTS-V's capabilities from Leone. He seems fairly impressed, but Leno's most entertaining question about the 640-horsepower sedan is whether it can do a burnout. He provides a definitive answer to that at the end of the clip.

C7 Corvette won't spawn new Cadillac XLR [w/video]
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Between the new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray and the even newer Cadillac Elmiraj Concept shown off at Pebble Beach, we were already expecting some sort of chatter of a Cadillac XLR redux. During an in-depth C7 Corvette discussion with Tadge Juechter, the car's chief engineer, Fox News asked if a Corvette-based, Bowling Green-built Cadillac will be built off the C7. Non-spoiler alert: the answer is no.
Juechter says that General Motors has "no intent" on transforming this car into a Cadillac product since the C7 has been optimized for the Corvette buyer, a consumer that's generally a different sort of person than a Cadillac intender who might also be cross-shopping a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class or BMW 6 Series.
While we're not ready to write off a future XLR altogether, we assume that the Corvette Cadillac experiment is most likely never going to happen again. The interview with Juechter is posted below, but the XLR discussion comes in at the 9:00 mark.
