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.

2021 Cadillac Escalade vs. 2020 Lincoln Navigator | How they compare on paper

Wed, Feb 5 2020

The 2021 Cadillac Escalade arrived late last night, and we all know what that means: It’s comparison time. Specifically, weÂ’re pitting the new Escalade versus the 2020 Lincoln Navigator. The sales gap between the long-time competitors has grown dangerously close for Cadillac ever since the revolutionary new Navigator came out for the 2018 model year. In 2019, the Navigator was only about 4,000 units down from the Escalade. Cadillac intends to widen that gap back up with a new truck, and now itÂ’s time to see if itÂ’s brought the right goods to the party. With the redesigned model that now features an independent rear suspension, these two are more alike than theyÂ’ve been in a long time. The Escalade was stuck with the less space-efficient solid rear end up until now, as GM hadnÂ’t yet made the switch to IRS that Ford long-ago did. Now that it has, these two are super similar from a dimensions perspective. Cadillac was playing catch-up in this fight, so it knew exactly where it needed to aim to come out victorious in a specs battle such as this one. A quick note on the chart below. Both of these models have a “regular” and “long” version. The EscaladeÂ’s long variant is still named ESV, and the NavigatorÂ’s long version is simply named L. In the dimensions section, we distinguish between the two with a “/” — the “regular” length version is on the left, and the “long” version is on the right side of the slash. The numbers are below: Powertrain The Lincoln Navigator still reigns supreme when it comes to power, as the 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 is high on both horsepower and torque. GMÂ’s small-block V8 comes close, but ultimately falls short by 30 horsepower and 50 pound-feet of torque to the twin-turbo V6. Cadillac does have an ace up its sleeve, though. It comes in the form of the 3.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-six engine. Lincoln hasnÂ’t dropped the PowerStroke diesel into the Navigator (and we'd be shocked if it does), so Cadillac has a unique offering in this segment now. The diesel will be optional on the Escalade, but it has less horsepower and the same amount of torque as the V8. We expect the big advantage for the diesel will come in fuel economy, an area where the Silverado Duramax diesel currently outpaces the full-size truck competition. Both of these big SUVs come standard with 10-speed automatic transmissions. Intriguingly, itÂ’s the 10-speed automatic that was co-developed between Ford and GM.

Cadillac ParkWhiz app helps avoid endless circling to find parking

Sat, Jul 20 2019

General Motors recently launched an app for its vehicles called Marketplace that includes various apps that let you order and pay for things from your car. The company is continuing to add apps to Marketplace, and the latest sounds quite useful. It's called ParkWhiz, and it will be available on Cadillacs. Basically, it lets you find and pay for parking from your car. In more detail, ParkWhiz will let you find parking in 250 cities. The app shows locations that have spaces available and which are full, along with prices for all of them. You can then select one and pay for it for however long you'll use it. You can even reserve parking in advance in case you're going to a busy event. The big benefit here is that you should be able to eliminate a lot of cruising around looking for spaces. That will save you time and money. Additionally, this could save you from having to go really early to an event to find decent parking. It's a handy sounding app, and fortunately, if you don't have a Cadillac, you can get the app on your phone. The only downside to the phone app is that it's not built into the car's infotainment system.
