Rare 1981 Eldorado Convertible up for auction with NO RESERVE

Fuel injected 368 V8, 94k original miles. True dependable Caddy 368, not the underpowered HT4100 engine found in the 82 and up models. The previous owner told me that all the 4-6-8 components were removed by Cadillac dealer when it was new, now it's a smooth running, dependable fuel injected 368. With the overdrive transmission the Caddy will get over 20 mpg on the highway. Digital dash, digital climate control, power top with automatic window lowering and raising with top operation. Original cadillac AM/FM stereo cassette (working), automatic ride leveling (also operational), tilting, tescoping wheel, automatic headlights and triple fender light indicators. C&C (Classic Cadillac) full size chrome grill with extra chrome section for nose of hood, very sharp looking.

Mechanically the Caddy has four new whitewall radials (less than 500 miles on them), fuel injection service (cleaning and replacement of a couple of injectors) recent brakes, tuneup, some new exhaust parts, oil change and belts and hoses. The digital dash is intermittent, will display properly then the numbers will flicker. The driver's power seat is intermittent as well, the switch needs cleaning or replacing. The top and windows work properly, all raise and lower at once. The engine compartment is remarkably clean. The engine turns over easily, the fuel injection allowing a simple turn of the key to start the car.

Cosmetically the Eldorado shows very well, repainted about ten years ago in a nice metallic teal shaded dark blue, close to the original color but with a modern metallic finish, it sparkles in the sun. All the bumper and fender fillers were replaced when the Caddy was painted. Some spots have been touched up in the last couple of years, only visible up close. The bumpers are in good shape, no dents or scratches, the chrome gleams. The seats had some tears in the leather so the previous owner had black heated seat cushions installed over the pillow top sections, it's very nice for top down cruising on chilly summer nights. An upholstery shop did it; it's held on with strong adhesive and fasteners, it doesn't move when you get in and out of the car. The back seat has a standard bench seat cover, black to match the front. The dash has two sun cracks in the center, they are almost symmetrical, only noticeable when you're in the car. The door panels and rear panels are nice, the only flaw being a small crack in the vinyl at the top of the driver's door panel where your arm rests when the window is down. The top was replaced in 2000, one area beginning to fray by the rear top driver's side corner. The top is nicely upholstered inside, nice and quiet on the highway when the top and windows are up. The Eldorado has a nice cushioned boot cover to snap on when the top is down. The original spoke hubcaps are in great shape, chrome shines, no dents or scrapes.

These are all the pix I have right now, I'm away on business and I just found out I'm losing storage. These are the pix I submitted for Classic Insurance, just all four sides with the top up is what they require ($190 a year for full comprehensive). This is a ten day auction and I should be home in time to take a some full size pix of the Caddy all around. If not, you can check my feedback- I'm a classic car nut with a particular fondness for Caddies and buyers have been pretty happy with the cars I've sold. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Eldo is for sale locally and I'm open to buy it now offers as well. Cruises nicely on the highway, holds the road perfectly. Engine starts easily, doesn't leak anything, garage floor always dry when I pull her out. Runs very strong, tracks straight as an arrow and brakes evenly. She idles well, shifts smoothly, stops easily and the suspension is luxurious. Drives overall like a Caddy should. She's roadworthy, all directional/brake/turn signal/headlights work as well as the horn and wipers. The floors, trunk and frame are solid as the Caddy has been a Garage Queen.

Rare, classic Caddy convertible that will only appreciate in value. Any questions feel free to email or call 914-224-3230

Cadillac recalls 17,500 SRX CUVs in Canada

Fri, 03 Oct 2014

When reporting on recalls, Autoblog generally tries to focus on the US market. However, a recent campaign in Canada seems important enough to be worth mentioning because it could eventually affect American drivers. General Motors is repairing 17,481 Canadian examples of the Cadillac SRX from the 2010-2015 model years because of the possibility of a loose nut in the rear suspension. For the moment, the automaker hasn't yet announced whether the CUV in the US would require a similar campaign.
The notice was dated September 18, 2014, on the website for Transport Canada, similar to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the US. It says, "the rear suspension toe link jam nuts" might not have been sufficiency tightened, which could allow a rear wheel to turn "inboard or outboard" while driving. If this happens, it could cause a sudden change in handling. Canadian Cadillac dealers are inspecting the parts and replacing the toe link if necessary.
This campaign isn't listed on the GM's running recall tally from September, which includes exported models, but it does list four other campaigns for the SRX this year - three in this range of years and one for the 2004-2006 model. Autoblog reached out to the company to ask about the possibility of this recall expanding to the US and were told "We have not publicly announced US recalls" for the issues affecting the SRX. The New York Times was given a similar quote. Scroll down to read the notice from Transport Canada.
