The car is pretty bare bones as he stripped all chrome, headlights, etc off before stopping work. I will be selling those parts in separate auctions. Body work is probably 85% done. Trunk is not bolted to hinges. Top is pretty thrashed. Top starts working but will definitely need work and adjustment. I Seats are thrashed as is the carpet, dash, etc. Car starts up after a few tries and idles, but goes to zero pressure after a short time, according to a mechanic. Slight ticking at times. I am not mechanically inclined, so I am turning this over to someone that can work on it. Tires are holding air, but I wouldn't drive the car on them due to their age. Car runs, but will need to be towed on flatbed from its current location. Shows 44788 miles, not sure if it is 44788 or 144788. What you see is what you get. No other parts are included. No warranty is given, express or implied."

1976 CADILLAC ELDORADO CONVERTIBLE
ONE OF ONLY 16,000 MADE!

Here is the video I made today showing how the car starts and some other condition specifics...
http://youtu.be/7uRF63AMo_Y


I am selling a car that I have owned since 2007.  I hired someone to do the restoration project, but they bailed without completing the work.  The car has been driven a total of about 10 miles since purchase.  Prior to me buying it, it sat in a lot for 10 years.  It is listed on non-op status right now, but was previously registered through 2010 or 2011, though rarely driven.  This car is pretty bare bones as the guy stripped most of the parts off the car to do the body work and painting.  I will sell those parts, as well as other parts I bought to put into this car, in separate auctions.  The car is in San Diego and you will need to arrange pickup and full final payment within 7 days of the close of auction.  I will not arrange shipping.  I have a copy of the title in hand.  Payment must be cleared before car will be released.

This car was stripped down to bare metal and primered before going on non-op status.  Weatherstripping was removed.  Door panels are not on the car anymore.  All windows are still there and all window regulators were there and working as of 2 years ago.  Please see my attached video that shows that 3 of 4 windows at least operate at some level, all windows are present.  

To be clear...What you see in the pictures is what you get.  No other parts are included, except as is.  Car is sold as is, where is.  I have been as clear as I can about the condition as I know it.

I hope someone can rescue this baby and return it to its former glory!  Only 16K of these '76 convertibles were made so I don't want to see it get scrapped.

Thanks and good luck!

Cadillac Elmiraj has production potential

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

There are many reasons to love the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept, but not the least of which is how production-ready this big coupe appears to be. Take out the overly fancy interior and a few conceptual elements of the exterior, and this looks like a coupe that could be in dealers now as the successor to the Eldorado.
On top of that, Automotive News is quoting Bob Ferguson, Cadillac senior vice president, as saying that a production version of this car is "very doable." AN adds that if the Monterey showstopper gets the green-light, this car would compete against the upcoming Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe and would based on Cadillac's upcoming rear-wheel-drive flagship sedan due out in 2015. The range-topping coupe would debut sometime after the sedan model. Cross your fingers.

Cadillac's semi-autonomous Super Cruise pushed back to 2017

Thu, Jan 14 2016

It looks like General Motors is discovering just how difficult it is to bring autonomous vehicle technology fit for public consumption to market. The company has pushed back the launch of its semi-autonomous Super Cruise technology by several months. Originally promised by CEO Mary Barra for a fall 2016 debut, Super Cruise was supposed to be offered first on the new CT6 sedan. Automotive News is reporting that won't be the case, following a statement from GM confirming that the new system would be pushed to sometime in 2017. At the very least, that's a several month delay. GM cited the need to get the system right and keep owners safe, which prevented a firm date for Super Cruise's debut. Product boss Mark Reuss was more blunt, though, telling AN, "It will come out when it is ready." Super Cruise would be one of the earliest examples of driverless tech to be put into public hands, following the introduction of Tesla's semi-autonomous AutoPilot system in 2015. Most other automakers experimenting with the autonomous vehicles don't foresee public sales until early in the next decade, including Toyota, Renault-Nissan, and Volvo. Before Barra suggested a 2016 debut, GM originally aimed to introduce its semi-autonomous system in 2020. Related Video:

First Cadillac ELR rolls off the line

Thu, 30 May 2013

Gearing up for the Belle Isle Grand Prix this weekend, General Motors invited some of the Chevrolet and Cadillac racecar drivers out to its Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant. While there, the racers - including IndyCar Driver and Chevrolet Volt owner, Simona De Silvestro - witnessed the very first 2014 Cadillac ELR to roll off the assembly line.
These vehicles are not destined for customers, however, but instead pre-production units will be used by engineers for testing purposes. Actual production of ELR consumer models is expected to commence closer to the end of this year. As a refresher, this range-extended electric Cadillac shares much of its powertrain with the Volt but will have a sportier coupe design inspired by the Converj Concept. De Silvestro manged to snap a few images of here own, which you can see in the gallery below.
