Here it is.....Big American Iron Offered at NO RESERVE !!! It started to rain just as I took the pictures. I moved indoors and finished. Please excuse the raindrops! Offered at "NO RESERVE" is a big and long piece of American history. This is It was almost $8000 42 years ago...very The car was originally Adriatic Turquoise Metallic with Carmine interior. I know--- blue with a red interior sounds strange, but it was the 70's. Anything was possible! I see why someone painted it red. Speaking of that, Someone should paint it again. It looks better in photos than real life. Whether you go back to it's original color, or do the red again, it's time for another respray I put a new one on, and it starts well, runs great without any weird noises, and would be a It has a new stereo that sounds amazingly well, the lights and wipers work, and the trunk light works. It has tilt/telescopic wheel, and it's 2 1/2 tons of It's missing a right front bumper guard and the AC compressor and hoses. Everything else is there. The paint is decent, with the trunk lid being the worst. There Generally speaking, there's a lot of steel there that is excellent.
I'm starting it off with the price the same year as the car, $1971.

I'm guessing it will sell for a little over $1 a pound, but time will tell. At the end of the auction, the winning bidder will be the new owner.
the first year of this body style and first year for fender skirts. One of 6800
made, and you can be the proud owner if you're the high bidder. Advertised at
almost 5000 pounds and just under 20 feet long, it has a 8.2 liter/500 cubic
inch engine rated at 365 horsepower and 535 ft. pounds of torque.
expensive for the day.
This Cadillac was driven regularly, just not very far, up until last year. It
was parked due to having a bad water pump, and sat for a little over a year.
great cruiser for people who love the big drop top land yachts of the 70's.
The good: Low mileage, great running engine and smooth shifting transmission,
working power windows and power top, and a solid body that is well worth
restoring. The top is good, and the glass back window is in place and doesn't leak.
awesomeness. The original stereo is in the trunk. I'm unsure if it works.
The bad: The interior has the normal leather cracks, but not all ripped up.
The door panels and dash are more than presentable, and the carpet and floor
mats are good.
is a little rust on the bottom of the right rear quarter panel behind the rear
wheel, and a little behind the left rear wheel.
It needs to be driven. Sitting didn't do it any good. It starts easily and idles well. The brakes are a little
sticky, but I'm sure they will free up with some use. It's not registered, so I
just drive it around the block. I do have a clean, clear Florida title, ready
to be handed over to the winning bidder.
PLEASE...ask questions, look at the pictures, get permission from whomever you
need, and bid to win. I reserve the right to end the auction early in the event
someone makes me an offer I can't refuse. I don't know what that number is, so
if you're a serious buyer, make your offer and let's see what happens.
The car is located in Port Charlotte, Florida, about 90 miles south of Tampa. I
can assist with shipping if you need help, but the transporation cost is on the
buyer.

GM follows Ford and Honda in skipping SEMA
Fri, May 20 2022The list of automakers skipping SEMA has become longer. First reported by Muscle Cars and Trucks, and confirmed to us by a company representative, General Motors will not have an official presence at the aftermarket show. It joins Ford and Honda in leaving the show. It will be a large hole in the show, with the GM brands typically filling a significant swath of available show space in one of the main halls. GM hasn't provided much explanation for the move, either. The GM representative provided Autoblog with the same statement that Muscle Cars and Trucks got: "GM has made the decision not to participate in the 2022 SEMA Show. The SEMA show has always inspired us, and accessories and performance parts remain an important part of our business." We also asked if we would see any sort of announcements around the time of the show — Ford said it has plans to share some things around that time — however, the GM representative said that the company has no immediate plans for announcements. Certainly things could change between now and the November show, though. SEMA had previously noted that other exhibitors would help fill in some of the space vacated by these major OEMs. Another OEM, Volkswagen, is returning to the show after an absence, which will also help with the display deficit.

Junkyard Gem: 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible
Sat, Jun 27 2020Convertibles rode high well in 1960s America, with Detroit selling more than 500,000 ragtops in 1965, but sales collapsed by the early 1970s and tightening federal crash-safety regulations made it seem less worthwhile to even bother producing new ones. Chrysler halted convertible production after 1971, with Ford following suit by 1973. By the 1976 model year, the Cadillac Eldorado was the last new American car you could buy with a convertible top from the factory, and it appeared that none would ever be built again. I've found one of those "last convertible" Eldorados in rough-but-identifiable condition in a Denver junkyard. As it turned out, the convertible never really died in America. Car shoppers could still buy new European-made convertibles after 1976, coachbuilders modified new Detroit cars with factory-grade drop-tops, and then Chrysler began selling K-Car convertibles starting with the 1982 model year. Because the '76 Eldorado appeared to be the absolute end of the convertible line, however, buyers thought they were investing in a sure-fire collector car that would be worth vast sums in the not-very-distant future (this belief led to lawsuits against GM later on, when the Cadillac Division resumed production of the Eldorado convertible for 1984). While a one-of-200-made Bicentennial Edition Eldorado with red-white-and-blue trim really is worth plenty these days, an ordinary 1976 Eldorado in beat-up condition doesn't seem worth restoring. This car appears to have sat outside in Colorado with the top down for decades, filling with snow each winter and enduring high-elevation solar irradiation each summer. A 1960s GTO or Camaro might be worth fixing up after falling into this state of disrepair, but not one of 14,000 "last convertible" Eldorados made in 1976. GM's Unified Powerplant Package front-wheel-drive system, which used battleship-strength chains to transmit power to the drive wheels, proved to be extremely reliable on the street, joining the small-block Chevrolet engine and Hydra-Matic transmission in the pantheon of The General's Greatest Engineering Hits. Even gigantic motorhomes used this system. In 1976, the Eldorado got the last of the 500-cubic-inch (8.2 liter, or litre as GM's marketers spelled it) V8s, rated at a disappointing 190 horsepower and an impressive 360 lb-ft of torque.
