1984 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe


Up for Auction: SUPER LOW FAIR RESERVE !!!

A very nice 1984 Caddy Eldorado 2 dr coupe.
This car was originally sold here in Tucson and basically never
left unless it was for a road trip or 2. What you wont find on
the car is any rust on the car. Its your typical rust free Az car
with a solid body. The car was always parked in a garage or a
carport so the Az sun didnt get to it as badly as some cars.
Best we can tell, its still the original white paint which is showing
its age and its getting faded in areas. I think most of it could be
clay barred and brought back to look pretty nice if you wanted
to and buff it out with a good wax job and it could look even better.
We may try to do that this week with a local detailer we use.

Factory V8 car loaded like you would expect from a Caddy
Some back story about the car, the car was owned by a friend of
mines dad, he bought it new in 84 from the original owner and
drove it up till about 03, when it got parked for something smaller.
Around that time w/ aprox 127k on the car he basically parked 
the car when he bought a new car, so this car as essentially sat
under cover for the last 11 yrs with an empty gas tank. To get it
back on the road, we changed some of the fluids, dropped the
tank and put a new fuel pump and screen in (just to be safe), put
in some fresh gas and with a few cranks of the key, it fired right
up. It runs and drives like an older Caddy should. The tires look 
good but I know are pretty old.

DRIVETRAIN:  the original throttle body injected V8
motor runs and sounds good.
It idles nice and runs like it should. We where going to 
do more of a tune up on it, but its been running so well
Im leaving it alone. Nice and unmolested under the hood
its almost like a time capsule there. AC clicks on using the
climate control on the dash, but doesnt get that cool.
So at the very least it will need a charge.
The hood struts are worn out and dont hold up the hood anymore
by themselves. Again, an easy fix they are available all over
pretty cheap.

INTERIOR: All original blue velour interior shows minor wear 
and actually looks pretty awesome for its age. Think the only
seat that ever got used was the driver seat. All the electronics
seem to work and the gadgets on this car for 1981 are way ahead
of its time. Impressive for its age. The pics always make the car
look better in pics, but this car the is really clean inside too.
The steering column has the typical loose feel to it, typical of
most GMs from this ERA, generally its an easy fix, but you have
to remove the SW and get to the loose nuts down in the column
to tighten it up. 9x out of 10 thats usually the all it is in these
80s GM columns.


EXTERIOR: What looks to be like the original white paint, the body
is very straight and paint could be buffed out some to look nicer
too if you wanted to restore the car. Restoring this car wouldnt take
a whole lot or just drive it the way it is and enjoy it.
As is this car would be a nice daily driver (tires would be the 
first thing I would change on it). The stainless and chrome on this
car are in amazing shape for their age too. There is alot on 
the car from front to back from the factory.


SUSPENSION: all factory the best I can tell and Im sure some bushings
are old and shocks, things where replaced or fixed as needed.
Feels normal and solid like a Cadillac riding on a cloud :)
Smooth with no weird noises, and brakes probably need to be 
bled (from sitting) the car stops, but Ill bleed them this week.

SOME STUFF I KNOW IT NEEDS ARE: power antenna broken, some plastic
filler parts between the rear bumper and body brittle and broken
in a few areas, dr door simply wont open from the inside or outside.
Flip up part of the trunk lock cover broken, chrome trim around dr side
headlight bezel cracked & dr interior door panel showing some wear, 
and the trim on the steering wheel is peeling off.  Most of this stuff is
minor and easy fixes, but you may miss them in the pics so I wanted to 
mention them


Check out ALL the pics below ----->

it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a
slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra schroll
bar on the right side.
Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate.
more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.

Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them.
We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows.
People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale
and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats
paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end.
Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days
speaks volumes. 

Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort
of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating.
People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are
fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers.

exactly what you have in the end.

Doing restoration on this type of project is less labor

2015 Cadillac Escalade

Mon, 07 Apr 2014

Cadillac has been an interesting story in the auto industry over the past several years. Its comeback bid may be well over a decade old, but it's only recently that the Wreath and Crest has transformed from the auto industry's retirement home into its hot new thing. Today's Cadillac is a powerful marque working to instill passionate design, sound driving dynamics and cutting-edge technology into each model it builds, with vehicles like the ATS and redesigned CTS leading the charge.
Now, its latest model has arrived. This fourth-generation Escalade is among the most important new Cadillacs since the division's renaissance kicked into high gear. It's the brand's de facto flagship, and the first vehicle many young people think of when hearing the name "Cadillac." In the past, the Escalade was the chosen vehicle of the rich, flashy and famous. It's suffered over the past few years, though, particularly as new and more luxurious competitors have come to the fore.
With this latest redesign, General Motors is aiming to retake the spotlight as purveyors of the market's premier luxury SUV. To find out if it's been successful, I ventured down to the South Carolina Lowcountry to test the all-new 2015 Escalade.

Liberace's gilded Cadillac could be yours

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

With their chrome grilles and oversized wheels, it's hard not to notice a Cadillac these days. But this one is even more blingtastic on account of the 23.75-karat gold-leaf bodywork.
The 1931 Cadillac Golfer's Drop Head Coupé is said to have belonged to the inimitable performer Liberace, who didn't just have it covered in gold - he also had the exterior door handles plated in silver and the inside handles in 24-karat gold as well. It's also got a white leather interior and headlights that - well ahead of their time (if you'll pardon us, Mr. Tucker) - pivot with the steering wheel. All that bling is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission that pales in comparison to the seven, eight and even nine-speed gearboxes appearing on luxury sedans today.
The project was undertaken over the course of three years in the 1970s by one Jack Smith from Kansas. Smith (if that was his real name) sold it at auction in 1975, and it was most recently displayed for 12 years at a museum in Germany which claimed it was Liberace's own. The car is now going up for sale by Barons' at the Sandown Park horse racing track in Surrey, England, on September 17, when bidding starts at 85,000 pounds - equivalent to over $130,000 at today's rates.

Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
