Here it is.....Big American Iron Offered at NO RESERVE !!!


I'm starting it off with the price the same year as the car, $1971.


1971 Cadillac Eldorado currently with 79,987 actual miles. The title shows 70,613 actual miles on 11/28/2003

It started to rain just as I took the pictures.  I moved indoors and finished.  Please excuse the raindrops!

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.

Offered at "NO RESERVE" is a big and long piece of American history.  This is
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. 

 It was almost $8000 42 years ago...very
expensive for the day.

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

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. 

I put a new one on, and it starts well, runs great without any weird noises, and would be a
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. 

 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
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. 

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
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.

  Generally speaking, there's a lot of steel there that is excellent.

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.

2020 Cadillac CT5 finally appears, hopes you think it's a Charger

Thu, Jan 11 2018

This is our first look at what we expect to be the 2 020 Cadillac CT5 sport sedan, a one-to-rule-them-all replacement for the ATS, CTS and XTS. The name follows the scheme set by the CT6 and XT5. The first thing that jumps out about the CT5 is the big hood scoop. We sincerely doubt that scoop will make it to production, and when combined with the scalloped shapes on the car's flanks, we and the spy photographer feel they're probably there to dupe people into thinking it's a weird Dodge Charger. The disguise isn't working, but the scoop surprisingly looks pretty good. Maybe Cadillac should consider putting one on an inevitable V model. Moving past the fake bodywork, we can see that this CT5 takes inspiration from the Cadillac Escala concept. It has the long, almost fastback cabin and extra rear quarter window of that concept. The headlights are slim horizontal units, too, though they still sweep back a bit to bridge the gap between current models and the Escala. We also see that there's a decent amount of distance between the front axle and the base of the A-pillar, so we suspect that the sedan will retain rear-drive and optional all-wheel-drive drivetrains. We don't have any other cars in the image to compare it to, but considering the cars the Cadillac CT5 will replace, we expect it's roughly the size of a CTS, maybe even a touch smaller to satisfy those who want a 3 Series/A4/C-Class size luxury sedan. It will also probably use one or more of the existing powertrains in the Cadillac sedan fleet, which include a turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder, naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6, and a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6. We'll also probably see the production model sometime in 2019 since that's when the CTS and ATS will go to the big garage in the sky.

Cadillac prices new ATS-V from $61,460*

Tue, Feb 10 2015

It's official, Art & Science students: Cadillac has opened the order books for the new ATS-V, and while it was at it, has told us how much we should expect to shell out for the privilege. Pricing starts at $61,460 for the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V sedan (*plus tax, title, license, dealer fees and any optional equipment). Go for the sleeker (but less practical) ATS-V coupe and you'll be looking at $63,660 (with the same conditions). For all that scratch, you'll be looking at a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 driving 455 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission, for a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 189 miles per hour. The ATS-V also features Brembo brakes, magnetorheological dampers, launch control and rev-matching with no-lift shifting. Cadillac has still yet to tell us how much gas its new performance model will guzzle, but it's got time before production gears up in the spring and the online configuration tool launches in April. Cadillac Opens Ordering for 2016 ATS-V Dual-purpose performance luxury compact designed for the track, touring 2015-02-10 DETROIT – Cadillac dealers have begun accepting orders for the 2016 ATS-V – the brand's inaugural luxury compact performance car starting production this spring. Available in sedan and coupe forms, the twin-turbocharged ATS-V offers a dual-purpose luxury performance experience: a car with true track capability straight from the factory with sophisticated road manners. Powered by the segment's highest-output six-cylinder engine – the Cadillac Twin Turbo rated at 455 horsepower (339 kW) and 445 lb-ft of torque (603 Nm) – the ATS-V achieves 0-60 performance in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 189 mph. The Cadillac Twin Turbo engine is backed by a six-speed manual – with Active Rev Match, no-lift shifting and launch control – or a paddle-shift eight-speed automatic transmission featuring launch control and Performance Algorithm Shift. "The V-Series is the ultimate expression of Cadillac's re-ignited product substance and the passion at the core of our brand," said Johan de Nysschen, Cadillac president. "The ATS-V expands the V-Series lineup, bringing a new kind of performance character to Cadillac. Lightweight, agile and potent, the ATS-V will make an ideal pairing with the larger and even more powerful all-new 2016 CTS-V midsize sedan, which arrives later this summer," he said.

Cadillac teases production ELR ahead of Detroit Auto Show

Tue, 18 Dec 2012

General Motors has just confirmed that the 2014 Cadillac ELR will make its official debut next month at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. We've already seen the ELR testing earlier this year using the same range-extended electric drive system as the Chevrolet Volt, and based on the shadowy image above, we're happy to see that the coupe's styling has stayed pretty true to 2009 Converj Concept.
The two-door ELR will be built alongside the Volt at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck plant starting later next year. Aside from this info, Cadillac has remained tight-lipped on the specific details of the car. But all that will all change on January 15.
Until then, all we have to offer you is the press release posted after the jump.
