Hello,
I am selling a 1968 Cadillac Eldorado - NO reserve. You bid may win it. I have more projects than I can handle and so this one has to go. It has been in the garage all winter, but now that spring is here, it seems like nice weather to be tinkering again. (plus you have your tax check!) I always liked the 1968 best because the 1967 had those strange covers where the turn signals are on this year, and this one still has the hidden lights which look so clean and sharp. Please read everything if you are serious, as I want to make sure I describe the car accurately. History: I believe that this was a PA car all its life. I know that when I got it, the previous owner was from PA and he had owned it for quite a while. Engine/drivetrain: 472 V8, front wheel drive. The engine and drivetrain are the best and smoothest of any 472 I've ever owned. My big Caddy V8's typically get a miss from a vacuum leak or a carb misadjustment or a lifter or something, but this car starts right up, idles perfectly and drives well. The transmission shifts nicely, and the steering is light and easy. The engine is dirty and needs to be detailed and painted, but that's cosmetic and not important to me. Comes with a fresh oil change this week. Brakes: Entirely new lines, pads etc. The car stops fine and is safe to drive. Interior: Complete, the leather is cracked but only one split. I have been putting moisturizing creams on it as it has become hard, and they will work but take time. The drivers door panel is badly cracked, as is the one next to the rear seat passenger on the same side. This is because the driver's side quarter window is stuck in the down position, and before I got the car and stored it, water was getting in. The seatbelts were tucked into the seat, and are ratty, the carpet is nice, the radio works. the clock and most of the electrics - some power windows, locks etc do not work. I believe someone has messed with the electrics because some of the wires in the door are hanging loose. I have not had time to look further. The vacuum headlights don't leak and open when the car is parked, but they do not open when the lights are turned on, either, so there's an electrical issue there also. The roof: Clean and soft, one tear, pictured, and some rust bubbling underneath on the C-pillars. The body: Not great. Driver's door is not repairable. Underneath the stainless there is a lot of rust. All around the car, the lower body, rockers and lower parts of the fenders will need patching. The trunk lid has a few small holes, the hood is good, passenger side door looks solid buts shows signs of previous repairs. Underneath, the rear axle area is rusty, and the trunk floor has a few small holes, pictured. Gas tank looks newer and I have never smelled gas or noticed any leaks. Rear of exhaust from muffler to back of car is missing. Driver's side floor is soft. The hood and passenger fender have white paint marks on them that I have been unable to remove. See pictures. The trim not in the pictures is included. The trunk is not watertight, and the trunk mat held water, so I removed it but kept it for a template. The driver's mirror is broken but a replacement is included. The rear bumper is shot, but replacements are included for both of the bumper ends (they are the hard parts to get) Also included are a set of new rubber splash shields for inside the wheel wells, a box of misc parts, and the original full-width rubber floor mats. Overall - It's a running driving complete car. Worth restoring, or an excellent parts car or driver. I would recommend fixing some of the rust before using it regularly. Some points: I wouldn't drive it a long distance. I've run it for more than an hour, and it doesn't overheat, and the brakes, engine and transmission are fine, but the tires are older and it's an old car that hasn't been used regularly for a while. I'd suggest bringing a trailer, but it's not vital depending on your anxiety level. The rear shocks are shot and the ride is bouncy. Has a good battery that holds a charge. Any questions, please ask. Once paid for, I can store the car for another month or so, but please talk to me first. I'd like a $250 deposit within 2 days of the auction end, and then the rest when you pick the car up, in cash or money order/cashier's check. The car has a clean and clear title and can be transferred at the BMV up the road. Please send me a message on Ebay, or call me if you have any questions (724) 650-4259 from 9am-9pm Eastern time. Sold as-is where-is. I have done my best to describe this car accurately. I am not looking to make a quick buck, just don't have time or room for this one anymore. There is no reserve, so bid to win. |

Cadillac ELR next EV to get Plugless Power wireless charging tech
Mon, Jul 28 2014Evatran has been testing its Plugless Power wireless charging systems for electric vehicles in the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf for years now and made the tech commercially available early this year. With the growth of the EV market, Evatran is getting ready to expand as well. The company announced today that it will add three premium EVs to the Plugless Power system by the end of the year, with the first (and so far only) named model being the Cadillac ELR. We expect it was not difficult for Evatran to adapt the Plugless Power system to the ELR, since the vehicle's powertrain is so similar to the one in the Volt. The main problem we see is that Cadillac has only sold 390 ELRs (as of the end of June), so this first Plugless Power expansion isn't exactly going to ignite sales, even if every ELR owner opts for the cool tech. If one of the next two announcement is for the Tesla Model S, though, then you're talking numbers. Speaking of the future, what models do you think will be next? The Plugless Power L2 wireless systems were recently declared safe by the Intertek and start at $2,470, not including installation or government incentives. All the online/smartphone connectivity features that work with the car when it's got a cord stuck in it work with the L2 system, Evatran says. Orders start today, and the ELR package will be available September 1. There's more, including a local news report on the technology, below. WSLS 10 NBC in Roanoke/Lynchburg Va Wireless Vehicle Charging available to Cadillac ELR owners starting September 1st The Cadillac ELR Joins the Growing List of Compatible Electric Vehicle ("EV") Models from Evatran, the World Leader in High-Power Wireless Charging RICHMOND, VA July 28, 2014 – In an exciting statement today, Evatran Group, Inc. ("Evatran"), announced that its PLUGLESS wireless charging technology would soon be available on the Cadillac ELR. Evatran, the first Company in the world to make wireless charging available to individual EV drivers, currently has systems that are compatible with the Nissan LEAF and Chevrolet Volt. The Cadillac ELR is the first model to be announced in what is intended to be three new premium model announcements by the end of 2014. Evatran will begin accepting advanced orders today for deliveries as soon as September 1st. "The launch of the Cadillac ELR system is an important milestone for us," commented Rebecca Hough, Evatran CEO and Co-Founder.
Cadillac gives ATS, CTS new V6 for 2016
Sun, Oct 11 2015Replacing the existing 3.6-liter V6 in the Cadillac ATS and CTS is... another 3.6-liter V6. But this one promises higher output, while consuming less fuel, and making less noise. Like the V8s in the CTS-V and Escalade, it's got cylinder-deactivation technology to cut it down to a four-pot under lighter loads, as well as automatic stop/start, and comes mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The new engine produces 335 horsepower and 284 pound-feet of torque. That's a modest improvement over the 321 hp and 275 lb-ft mustered by the unit it replaces. But it also delivers an approximate improvement of nine percent in fuel economy and eight percent in carbon emissions. That's what we'd call a win-win, even if it's a modest one. Of course, those ATS or CTS buyers attracted to higher efficiency will still likely go for the 2.5-liter inline-four or the 2.0-liter turbo four. And those more inclined towards performance will be tempted by the 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 in the ATS-V or CTS Vsport – or the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 in the CTS-V, for that matter. But those customers looking for the best of both worlds will surely be pleased by the improvements the new atmospheric V6 and 8-speed gearbox bring to the table. Related Video: New Technologies Boost Efficiency for 2016 CYLINDER DEACTIVATION AND START/STOP SYSTEMS BEGIN PRODUCTION ON ATS AND CTS PRODUCT LINES 2015-10-09 Renowned for luxury and design, Cadillac has recently added dynamic driving performance to its list of attributes. Now as 2016 model year production begins, Cadillac adds new fuel-saving technologies. Active Fuel Management and Automatic Stop/Start technologies, and widespread use of a new 8-speed transmission, are combining to raise fuel economy ratings and reduce emissions in Cadillac's portfolio. Cadillac's all-new six cylinder engine contains Active Fuel Management, or cylinder deactivation, technology enabling it to seamlessly switch from six-cylinder to four-cylinder operation under certain light-load conditions, while maintaining excellent performance. The new 3.6-liter engine is part of the 2016 ATS and CTS product lines. Additionally, the Cadillac Escalade luxury SUV's V8 will shift to four-cylinder operation in many daily driving conditions, as will Cadillac's all-new high performance CTS-V sedan.
Cadillac XTS to become Opel flagship sedan?
Tue, 24 Jul 2012According to Auto-News.de, Opel is considering using Cadillac's all-new big sedan, the XTS, as the base for its new flagship car, which would likely carry the name Omega.
WorldCarFans.com speculates that Opel could use GM's 3.6-liter direct-injection V6 that generates 304 horsepower or, possibly, a 2.8-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine that creates 321 horsepower to power the vehicle. The European automaker could even use a 195-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine in this application - fine, since many of Europe's largest sedans are powered by smaller, more efficient engines.
Regardless of power, the Omega could arrive at dealerships by the end of 2013.
