You are looking at a rare investment grade Eldorado 1 of 1600. Want to know why? Let me share with you the long and short of this vehicle. I purchased this vehicle for my father as his 60th birthday gift. I sought out a rust free car and when it comes to these cars, that is a task. I found this car in Schaumburg, IL and had it shipped to my home in Ohio. After looking at it and the months I had before his birthday I decided I wasn’t satisfied with the interior or the top. So I spent thousands replacing the carpet, mats, leather, and top. That was just the beginning. If you are considering purchasing one of these vehicles and you choose not to buy this one, I hope you have a fist full of cash! All of the money has already been spent and I have the receipts to document every penny. New carburetor, fan clutch, fan shroud, POA valve, air conditioner compressor, 4 new tires, alignment, wiper blades, battery, alternator, belts, heater core, thermostat, drive axles, AC receiver drier, master cylinder, plugs, wires. I’ve established that the interior is new, the exterior is obviously sweet. Well the underside looks just as good. More money was spent there with Por 15, which is a rust inhibitor, look it up. Included is a book full of all receipts, photographs of what has been done, a $300 custom car cover. This is not a museum piece, but it is far from a “20-footer.” It is in excellent overall condition. Number matching original car that has less than 80,000 miles on it. My dad gave the car back to me about a year ago because he doesn't drive it and only has a one car garage. It just sets in my garage under a cover. I change the oil every six months and drive it about every other month just to put a smile on my face. I am not a mechanic, but I can tell you that I know of absolutely nothing mechanically wrong with this car. Every dollar spent on it mechanically was performed by an ASE certified automotive technician. Forgetting about how rare the car is and I will get to that in a minute, do your research. The reserve on this car is well below high retail and if there was ever a car that deserved high retail, this is one. You can look at cars at fancy dealers who will put lipstick on these cars and ask for top dollar. All of the money that was spent on this car, you will probably have to spend on one if you don’t buy this one or one from somebody who has the documentation that it has already been done. As for the rarity of the car: After setting a new production record in 1970, Cadillac Division was looking forward to another good year in 1971, especially since every model in the line was completely restyled. But that was not to be. Just about the time the 1971 models were announced in late September 1970, the United Auto Workers Union went on strike. The nationwide strike hit General Motors hard and lasted three months. In mid-December, the strike was settled and the assembly lines began moving again. Only 1,600 Eldorado convertibles were built after the strike ended. Only the 1,600 Eldorado’s built after the strike had only two columns of lovers on each side across the trunk, with solid metal towards the center of the trunk. This is one of those 1,600. Original Cadillac 8 track and bug deflector, both pretty rare. Bid with confidence, this car is right. On Jul-20-14 at 15:05:08 PDT, seller added the following information: UPDATE: I BUSTED HER OUT AND GAVE HER A QUICK WASH. Actual mileage is 72704. I can tell you after a quick wash, she needs a real wash. Like buff and polish the paint wash. I am not taking that on this week! IF YOU ARE A SERIOUS BIDDER AND A HINT THE RESERVE IS A LITTLE OVER 16k AND YOU WANT TO SEE OVER 130 PICTURES OF THIS CAR, EMAIL ME I HAVE THEM ALL ON A PDF. KARLKAMPLAIN@GMAIL.COM |

Chevy's low-cost pedestrian avoidance to debut on 2016 Malibu
Tue, Jul 28 2015The mainstreaming of safety technologies that began on luxury vehicles will get a big boost from General Motors later this year. The General says it plans to offer 22 driver assistance systems across its product portfolio of 2016 models, starting with the redesigned Chevrolet Malibu - the one that we know will keep tabs on teenagers for the benefit of parents. Pedestrian avoidance will be another of its available options. Instead of kitting the sedan out with numerous and expensive radar arrays, the GM system uses the camera mounted next to the rearview mirror that is already used for the lane-keeping function. New software lets it detect pedestrians, and when it detects a potential collision with one, it can alert the driver and brake autonomously if the driver doesn't react. Eventually, engineers want to give it the ability to do the same with cyclists. Because it uses existing hardware updated with new code, GM says the application costs "a few hundred dollars." GM demonstrated the Front Pedestrian Braking preventing a crash with a dummy pedestrian at speeds up to 15 miles per hour. Automotive News reports that it will reduce the severity of impact up to 40 miles per hour, but "may not be of much use in collisions at higher speeds." That feature will also join the options list of the Cadillac CT6. The press release below has more on GM's driver tech soon on the way.

Safety engineers will develop and test these and other safety technologies for products around the world at GM's new, 52-acre Active Safety Test Area at its Milford Proving Ground near Detroit. The $14 million facility officially opened Friday. "Our comprehensive safety strategy of helping customers before, during and after a crash continues," said Jeff Boyer, vice president of GM Global Vehicle Safety.
Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

GM recalling 117,000 sedans, crossovers, SUVs, pickups and vans
Thu, 02 Oct 2014General Motors has issued a stop-sale to dealers and has notified the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration of its intention to recall 117,000 vehicles in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Of those vehicles, only 4,500 are at dealerships.
The affected vehicles include the Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Impala sedans, fullsize SUVs (Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Tahoe and Suburban and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL), Lambda-platform crossovers (Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia), heavy-duty pickups (Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD) and fullsize vans (Chevy Express and GMC Savana). The sedans and body-on-frame SUVs include model years 2013 and 2014, while the CUVs, heavy-duty pickups and vans are limited to MY2014.
GM confirmed the recall to Autoblog via an emailed statement (which we've included below). According to the statement, the issue at hand in what is the company's 69th recall of 2014 covers the chassis-control module. Automotive News is reporting that a problem in the chassis-control system could cause a short in the module, which could cause the engine to stall or fail to start. The fault could also affect the trailer-brake control, provided it's equipped.
