THIS IS A RARE FIND CADILLAC ELDORADO 1980 WITH REBUILT ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, NEW UPHOLSTERY, AND NEW ALMOST EVERYTHING ELSE!
IT IS A CLASSIC 1980 CADILLAC ELDORADO WITH 5.7 LITER (350 CUBIC INCH) ENGINE AND ONE OF THE CADILLAC'S FIRST 'DFI' (DIGITAL FUEL INJECTION - WITH INDIVIDUAL FUEL INJECTORS FOR EACH CYLINDER)! IT WAS METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED BY THIS 2ND OWNER (FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS!) AND HIS 'PRIVATE' MECHANIC! IT HAS 148K ORIGINAL MILES AND IT DRIVES AS SMOOTHLY AS NEW! ALTHOUGH IT IS A 34 YEAR OLD CLASSIC, IT IS IN ALMOST LIKE NEW MECHANICAL CONDITION! IT WAS DRIVEN ONLY ABOUT 1500 MILES IN LAST 3 YEARS SINCE THE ENGINE AND THE TRANSMISSION WERE REBUILT! ADDITIONALLY, EVEN ALL PLASTIC BODY AND BUMPER 'SKIRTS' (WHICH DO CRACK AND DETERIORATE WITH THE AGE -- ESPECIALLY ON ALL CADILLAC MODELS OF THAT VINTAGE!) WERE ALL REPLACED - OR FIXED -- AS NEEDED!... WITH THE NEW 'REPLICA PLASTICS' TYPES, WHICH WERE MADE OF DURABLE AND 'ETERNAL' FIBERGLASS. THEN ALL WERE REPAINTED WITH THE COMPUTER MATCHED PAINT COLOR FROM A PROFESSIONAL AUTO BODY PAINT SUPPLIER. ALSO, ALL OTHER PLASTIC PARTS THAT WERE CRACKED FROM AGE, WERE ALSO EITHER REPLACED OR FIXED -- LESS THAN 3 YEARS AGO! AND HERE IS ALSO THE ALMOST INCREDIBLE LIST, AND ALMOST THE COMPLETE HISTORY, OF ALL OTHER ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE OVER THE PERIOD OF THE LAST 5 - 6 YEARS ALONE. . . JUST TO GIVE AN IDEA OF HOW COMPLETE AND HOW THOROUGH THE CARE AND THE MAINTENANCE AND HOW METICULOUS THE RESTORATION HAS BEEN FOR THIS 'OLD TIMER': * ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION REBUILT WITH TOP QUALITY PARTS -- 3 YEARS AGO, (MAX. 1500 MILES SINCE!). . . * ALSO REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME WERE THE NEW WATER PUMP, NEW RADIATOR, NEW THERMAL FAN CLUTCH, ALL HOSES, SENSORS, ETC. * THE ORIGINAL BENDIX AIRCRAFT TYPE HIGH PRESSURE / HIGH VOLUME, UNDER CHASSIS FUEL PUMP (REQUIRED FOR THE GM'S 1980 NEW DESIGN FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM), AS WELL AS THE PUMP IN THE FUEL TANK, AND ALL 8 FUEL INJECTORS WERE REPLACED WITH THE CONTEMPORARY EQUIVALENTS, AND THE NEW MATCHING FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR WAS ALSO REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME; SOME FUEL LINES WERE RE-ROUTED, ELECTRICAL CONTROLS AND THE HIDDEN FUEL PUMP KILL SWITCH WERE ALSO INSTALLED, ETC. * ALSO REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME -- ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. AFTER THE ENGINE REBUILDING: A BRAND NEW DISTRIBUTOR, COMPLETE WITH ALL ON BOARD MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS. * BOTH FRONT AXLES / CV JOINTS AND FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS WERE REPLACED ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO -- BUT THERE IS LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON THEM. * ALL 4 DISK BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO, BUT ALSO LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON THEM. * AT THE SAME TIME, ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO, MOST OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND THE NEW MUFFLER WERE ALSO REPLACED. * ALL 4 BALL JOINTS, PITMAN AND IDLER ARMS, BOTH TIE-ROD-ENDS, THE ENTIRE STEERING GEARBOX/STEERING MECHANISM, THE POWER STEERING PUMP, PRESSURE HOSES, ETC. WERE ALL REPLACED ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO -- ALSO WITH LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON THEM. * ALL 4 TIRES REPLACED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO -- WITH LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON THEM. * THE AIR CONDITION COMPRESSOR ALSO REPLACED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO (STILL ICE COLD WITH NO RECHARGE NEEDED YET!) WITH A BRAND NEW GM ORIGINAL COMPRESSOR (NOT A REBUILT ONE!), AS WELL AS WITH THE NEW AC DRIER / ACCUMULATOR, METERING / PROPORTIONING VALVE, TEMPERATURE SENSORS, ETC. * ALSO DONE AT THE SAME TIME: COMPLETE CUSTOM REDESIGNING, REBUILDING AND REWIRING OF THE ENTIRE CLIMATE CONTROL WITH THE OFF-THE-SHELF AVAILABLE COMPONENTS. . . WITH THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB, COOL/OFF/HEAT SELECTOR SWITCH, AND THE 4 SPEED BLOWER SWITCH - ALL CONCEALED IN THE ASHTRAY (BUT EASILY VISIBLE AND REACHABLE) -- WHEN ASHTRAY IS OPEN! SORRY ABOUT THAT, SMOKERS! ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN A NON-SMOKER CAR (BOTH 1ST AND 2ND OWNER!), YOU ARE WELCOME TO IT -- BUT AS LONG AS YOU USE ANOTHER ASHTRAY, ON THE DOOR ARMREST -- INSTEAD OF ON THE DASHBOARD! ALSO PART OF THIS PROJECT WAS THE INSTALLATION OF THE LARGE 18 INCH AUXILIARY ELECTRIC FAN IN FRONT OF THE CONDENSER / RADIATOR. IT GOES ON AUTOMATICALLY WHEN A/C IS ON AND WHEN THE BLOWER MOTOR IS ON MAXIMUM, AND/OR IT CAN BE SET WITH A TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB TO KICK IN AT A SET TEMPERATURE. * THE WINDOW MOTOR AND THE ENTIRE WINDOW LIFTING MECHANISM REPLACED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, ALSO ABOUT THE SAME TIME -- 3 YEARS AGO. * NEW STEERING WHEEL IGNITION LOCK AND NEW KEYS INSTALLED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. * NEW POWER BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER REPLACED ALSO ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. * ALL ELECTRIC MOTORS, GEARBOXES AND MECHANICAL COMPONENTS, (2 SETS!) SOME WITH CRACKED PLASTIC HOUSINGS, FOR INDIVIDUALLY CONTROLLED 60/40 FRONT SEATS WERE REBUILT AND 'RE-FORTIFIED' WITH CUSTOM MACHINED METAL SKELETONS -- WHICH WERE 'J-B WELD'-ED TO THE ORIGINAL PLASTIC STRUCTURES AND THEN ENCASED WITH J-B WELD INTO THE CUSTOM MACHINED ALUMINUM CASINGS! THAT PROJECT BY ITSELF WAS MORE THAN A ONE WHOLE WEEK PROJECT -- WHILE THE SEATS WERE BEING RE-UPHOLSTERED! * FRONT SEATS AND ARMRESTS PROFESSIONALLY UPHOLSTERED IN MATERIALS AND COLORS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL MATCHED WITH THE ORIGINALS. THIS WAS DONE ABOUT 2 YEARS AND. * NEW SUPER HEAVY DUTY 100 AMP ALTERNATOR -- WITH A SPECIAL HEAVY DUTY STATOR WINDINGS - CUSTOM ASSEMBLED BY THE PROFESSIONAL REBUILDING SHOP (INSTEAD OF THE ORIGINAL 80 AMPS WINDING ON THOSE ALTERNATORS!). THIS WAS DONE ABOUT A YEAR AGO. * NEW STARTER (WITH SOLENOID) REPLACED ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO. * HIDDEN SENSOR / TRANSMITTER, WITH WIRELESS DIGITAL TEMPERATURE ('PORTABLE') DISPLAY INSTALLED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO! THIS IS FOR ON-DEMAND REAL TIME MONITORING OF THE 'REAL TEMPERATURE (FAHRENHEIT / CELSIUS) -- INSTEAD OF THE ORIGINAL 'RED LIGHT' ONLY ON THE DASHBOARD. * ALL NEW 'AIR-SPRING' LIFTERS -- 2/EACH FOR THE ENGINE HOOD AND THE TRUNK LID WERE INSTALLED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO! (THERE IS ALSO AN EXTRA ONE FOR FUTURE REPLACEMENT -- AS SOMETIMES THEY TOO ARE HARD TO FIND!) * NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AND EGR VALVE, INSTALLED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO WHICH MADE IT PASS THE SMOG TEST WITH EXTREMELY LOW POLLUTION READINGS -- ASSURING THAT IT WILL PASS MANY MORE SMOG TESTS IN THE FUTURE! * BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER -- REPLACED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. * NEW HEAVY DUTY 650 COLD CRANKING AMPS BATTERY -- REPLACED ONLY ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO! * THE CAR WAS ALSO SMOGGED AND REGISTERED FOR 2014, 3 MONTHS AGO. IN SHORT, THIS SUPERBLY PRESERVED CAR IS IN AN ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT MECHANICAL CONDITION, AND IT IS READY TO GO! AND HERE IS SOMETHING ELSE THAT JUST CAME TO MIND: THIS 'NOT-RUN-OF-THE-MILL' CAR HAS A VERY POWERFUL 'FIAM' DUAL AIR HORNS INSTALLED (SOUNDING LIKE AN ITALIAN SPORTS CAR!) - TO REPLACE THE 'STANDARD' ONE! IT TRULY MUST BE SEEN & DRIVEN TO BE APPRECIATED! WELL, ALL THOSE THINGS ABOVE (AND MANY MORE!) IS WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE IN THE PAST! THE PRESENT REALITY IS THAT IT NEEDS TO BE SOLD - FAST! SO, JUST LOWERED THE PRICE AS IT NEEDS TO BE SOLD NOW! ... AND LOWERED THE PRICE AGAIN!!! ... ALTHOUGH THE PRICE OF THESE IS ONLY GOING UP WITH TIME... AND THIS INVESTMENT CAN BE DRIVEN DAILY, IN THE MEANTIME! SO THE ASKING PRICE NOW IS ONLY $6500, WHICH WILL NOT EVEN COVER A FRACTION OF WHAT MONEY, TIME, AND EFFORT, HAS BEEN INVESTED INTO IT, BUT ANY SERIOUS AND REASONABLE OFFER WILL BE CONSIDERED . . . AS AFTER ALL THESE 20+ YEARS IT REALY MUST BE SOLD ASAP! LOCAL PICKUP ONLY - OR WILL DELIVER WITHIN 50 MILES FREE. PAYMENT: CASH ONLY! |

2020 Cadillac XT6 fuel economy announced
Mon, May 20 2019Thanks to the EPA's fuel economy website, we finally know how frugal the 2020 Cadillac XT6, the brand's first three-row crossover, is with gasoline. The most efficient is the front-wheel-drive version, getting 18 mpg in the city, 25 on the highway and 20 in combined driving. The all-wheel-drive XT6 is just barely behind it with 17 mpg in town, 24 on the highway, and 20 combined. Both versions share the same 3.6-liter V6 with 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque and the same nine-speed automatic transmission. These numbers put the Cadillac XT6 very much on par with the competition. Both the four-cylinder and V6 versions of the Audi Q7 get 21 mpg combined, just beating the XT6, and both feature standard all-wheel drive. The Q7 with an inline-four makes less power at 255 horses while matching the XT6's torque at 273 pound-feet. The V6's 329 horsepower and 325 pound-feet beat the Caddy, though. Both Audi and Cadillac have almost the same starting price at about $53,000. Every version of the Acura MDX tops the XT6, including the least-efficient MDX A-Spec, which manages 21 mpg in combined driving. The non-A-Spec all-wheel-drive model gets 22 mpg combined, and the front-drive MDX hits 23 mpg. But the best is the Sport Hybrid that delivers 27 mpg combined. All of the non-hybrid MDXs are less powerful and less torquey than the Cadillac, though, at 290 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque. The Sport Hybrid is a bit more powerful and torquey than the Cadillac with 321 horsepower and 289 pound-feet of torque. The Acura does start at a lower price of just over $45,000. The XT6 does beat one of its three-row crossover rivals, though. Its 20 mpg combined rating is comfortably ahead of the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class's most efficient V6 version at just 18 mpg. But the Mercedes also delivers 362 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and there are even more powerful, but less efficient, V8s on offer. The Mercedes is much more expensive than the Cadillac with a base price of over $70,000.
Cadillac CT6 shows its face in 2015 Oscars ad [w/video]
Mon, Feb 23 2015Have you been watching the 2015 Oscars? No? Then you've missed your very first look at Cadillac's long-awaited flagship, the imaginatively named CT6. Don't worry folks, we've got the entire spot, titled The Daring: No Regrets, available below. Marking the start of the new Dare Greatly campaign, the 60-second spot will be joined by three others during the Oscars' broadcast, and features a number of unconventional luminaries from the worlds of fashion, finance, technology and film, contrasting their common beginnings with their exceptional accomplishments. It's a powerful spot... and then the CT6 arrives. Asking "How dare a 112-year-old carmaker reinvent itself," a white CT6 is spotted (viewed through what looks like a bad Instagram filter) cruising slowly down a New York (we assume) street. The car itself is big and wide – properly American and Cadillac in its proportions – and features a very handsome evolution of the latest CTS' styling, with a new take on the brand's distinctive headlight and grille design. Have a look at the photo above, watch the ad and let us know what you think of both the commercial and the car that stars in it, down in Comments.
Cadillac ATS-V and Mercedes-AMG C63 S pitted Head to Head
Fri, Sep 4 2015Our favorite (and only) Autoblog-alum-turned-Motor Trend staffer is back with another Head to Head video, this time pitting the Cadillac ATS-V with the Mercedes-AMG C63 S. This performance machine shootout is ostensibly a way to figure out which of these new super sedans will earn the right to go toe-to-toe with the undisputed champion of its segment, the BMW M3. In reality, it's just a really good excuse to put three of the hottest sedans on the market on video at the same time... and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Jonny Lieberman spends time in each of the two new challengers on the road, picking apart their powertrains, chassis and driving dynamics on the kinds of twisty roads drivers of these cars will relish. Then, he hands the keys off to Randy Pobst, who sort of acts as an unmasked version of a certain tame racing driver, except that he talks and has a personality. 0-60 and quarter-mile times are equated, braking performance is measured and scores are tallied before the two sport sedans end up at Willow Springs raceway. Interestingly enough, the car that proves (just slightly) faster at the race track isn't the car that wins the comparison. Curious? We're not going to spoil it for you. Check out the video, above. Then, for more action of these two machines, check out the videos just below.
