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.

GM threatens predatory dealers with order cancellations, non-transferrable warranties

Fri, Jul 29 2022

General Motors will launch a second salvo against misbehaving dealerships next week with a new set of policies aimed at curbing predatory markup strategies. With the new Chevrolet Corvette Z06, GMC Hummer EV SUV and Cadillac Escalade-V about to head into production, GM is putting its foot down yet again. Dealers that attempt to circumvent GM's markup restrictions by dealing directly with brokers or other resellers could find themselves in a particularly nasty spot, as the company is threatening to withhold future allocations and end the transferability of warranties when dealers facilitate the reselling of vehicles within 12 months.  While this may help curb some dealership chicanery, it's possible the real loser in such a deal could end up being the customer who unwittingly ends up with an un-warrantied vehicle. We suspect GM has accounted for that, but we'll have to wait until next week to find out exactly how these new policies will be enforced.

Spy photos show Trump's new Cadillac-badged rolling fortress

Fri, Mar 31 2017

Development on the new presidential limo, oh-so appropriately nicknamed The Beast, is moving along at a GM proving ground. We got a brief glimpse of the Cadillac-badged rolling testament to safety and security late in February thanks to some clever drone work. We now have a new batch of ground-level photos that show the limo cruising around, presumably being put through the vehicle equivalent of boot camp. Currently, President Trump is making do with the first-generation Beast. While still likely safer than anything else on the road, it's starting to be a bit dated. In addition to the updated styling that makes it look like a comically oversized Cadillac CT6, The Beast v2.0 is likely packing a whole new suite of technology and safety equipment. That's just an assumption, as there's no press release with a full list of features. We can't imagine that the government would want everyone knowing what's beneath The Beast's skin. Expect Trump's ride to have reinforced doors, extra-thick glass, and even a filtration system that would protect against a biological attack. There's speculation that it's equipped with tear-gas cannons, similar to one of James Bond's rides. Even the relatively normal-looking tires are likely to be strengthened in some way, allowing them to still roll if punctured. Add up all of the extra reinforcement, and the truck-based ride is likely to have a mass that's equivalent to a small moon. All that tech doesn't come cheap. Expect The Beast to cost taxpayers somewhere around $1.5 million. Hey, it's still less than the new Bugatti Chiron.

Cadillac ATS Coupe spy photos show more sedate two-door

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Remember when the Cadillac CTS Coupe debuted, and we were all like, "Oh hello there?" Well, don't expect the same thing to happen when the new ATS Coupe is unveiled - these brand new (overexposed) spy shots show a two-door that's decidedly more sedate than the angular yet curvaceous and all-around good-looking CTS Coupe. This isn't to say that the smaller Caddy Coupe won't be attractive - the four-door version is plenty pretty, to be sure - it just likely won't have that extra somethin'-somethin' to truly set it apart from the sedan.
Fine, then. We don't doubt that the two-door ATS will be just as enjoyable to drive as its sedan sibling, with a lot of the mechanical stuff likely carrying over unchanged. That includes the powertrain options, meaning buyers will be able to choose from the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-four, turbocharged 2.0-liter four, or larger free-breathing 3.6-liter V6.
Look for the 2014 ATS Coupe to enter production in January of next year, meaning a reveal later this year (LA Auto Show, perhaps?) would be in order.
