1972 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible.
New Tires, recent dual exhaust(sounds sweet). New passenger side CV Shaft.
This is a car I only know about the past 12 years of history of. This was a friend of mines who loved this car. He took the wheels off every winter and either covered it or put it in his garage. It was his weekend cruiser. He took good maintenance care of this car. Getting what it needed, when it needed it. A few years ago I towed it when the CV shaft broke. At that point he took the top motor out to replace or have it rebuilt and was going to go through it and do some of the little things that bothered him. It never got there. He recently sold his house and I moved a bunch of items for him and bought the balance.
I put the shaft in the front. I wired up the choke so it wouldn't load up while driving. It starts hard due to this. Its the original carb, and everything under the hood is original and intact. I did not want to do anything to change that at this point. The car runs really nice once warmed up and sounds pretty mean. I have only taken this short cruises and one good run on the interstate to make sure it was solid and smooth. I would not hesitate to drive this car just about anywhere, other then the gas mileage is like one of my tow trucks.
Car could use a cleaning. I have not made any attempt to clean or cover anything up. It will clean up very nice. I believe the interior to be all original, including carpet which is in great shape. Seats have some stains that should come out. One being when I stepped on the back seat when disconnecting the top arms to make it easy to raise and lower manually.
Paint is a 50 mph paint job that is pealing in places.( check last pic on passenger rear quarter.) It was painted years ago and looks like it was a brownish color originally. Its a nice car that gets many compliments around town. Its not a show car, but a very affordable classic, going on antique, driver. The right person could easily take it to the next level or better. No rot on the car. Solid everywhere.
Delivery is available. I would be willing to drive it just about anywhere for a fee. But It would be cheaper to fly in to (BTV) Burlington International Airport, and drive out. Airport is 15 minutes from my shop.
Very important. Vermont does not issue titles for vehicles 15 years or older. This means I can't get one. At all. Most states will allow you to purchase if you get a temp reg from DMV. I cannot do this for you, due to needing an out of state ID to prove the plate is being used for in transit. Check your local DMV. Some will work with just a Bill of Sale.
Please keep in mind this car is 40 years old. Please ask questions, Call Anytime Towing 802-878-8467 anytime day or night. I try to describe the items the best I can. I may be missing something. So asking questions helps.
I am starting this auction at $2000 with a no reserve. So if you bid, its sold. High bidder takes it. I would only end auction early if I felt there was something wrong with the vehicle. So bid with confidence.
I will work on better pictures. I am having some tech problems and I am not a computer person. So these were done with a crappy phone, I apologize.
I was required to put something in the title line. There is no title.

Former Cadillac boss Butler takes Ford tech job
Tue, 07 Jan 2014When Don Butler made the surprising decision to leave his post as Cadillac's VP of global strategic development, it was a surprise. Citing a desire to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities" in that August announcement, it wasn't entirely clear where Butler - a virtual General Motors lifer after spending nearly 30 years with the company - would end up. Turns out he took a trip to Dearborn.
Butler has taken a position in the newly created position of Executive Director of Connected Vehicles and Services at Ford, where he'll be responsible for the Blue Oval's global connectivity strategy. "Not only does Don understand the connected car landscape, but probably just as important, he understands customer expectations," said Raj Nair, who, as Group Vice President of Global Product Development, is Butler's new boss. "Having a leader with technology experience both inside and outside the industry is a rare combination - we're excited to have Don join our team."
As Ford has received its fair share of flak for the sometimes recalcitrant MyFord Touch infotainment system and its Sync voice-controls, it appears that Butler has his work cut out for him.
GM announces 3 new recalls affecting 1.7M vehicles in North America [w/video]
Mon, Mar 17 2014Still embroiled in the ongoing ignition switch recall, General Motors announced today three more discrete recalls, affecting a grand total of 1,546,900 vehicles in the US. The Detroit News reports that some 1.7 million vehicles are affected overall in North America. The first and largest of the trio of new recalls concerns some 1.18-million Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia crossovers from the 2008-2013 model years, Chevrolet Traverse from 2009-2013 (pictured above) and Saturn Outlook vehicles from 2008-2010. All of the crossover utilities may have an issue with the wiring harness for their seat-mounted side airbags. Apparently, the vehicles are equipped with a Service Air Bag warning light that, if ignored, "will eventually result in the non-deployment of the side impact restraints." Those restraints include the side airbags, a front-center airbag if the vehicle is so equipped and seatbelt pretensioners. Dealers of affected vehicles will be instructed to remove driver and passenger side airbag wiring harness connectors, and then "splice and solder the wires together." The second recall affects 303,000 Chevrolet Express (pictured right) and GMC Savana vans from model years 2009-2014, and with gross vehicle weights under 10,000 pounds. Said vehicles do not comply with a head impact requirement for unrestrained occupants, and will need a reworking of the instrument panel material to be sent back on the road. It doesn't sound as though there's a quick fix for this one, as the GM press release states: "Unsold vehicles have been placed on a stop delivery until development of the solution has been completed and parts are available." Finally, the third recall affects 63,900 Cadillac XTS luxury sedans from model years 2013 and 2014. A brake booster pump may be susceptible to corrosion by way of the relay, potentially causing and electrical short, overheating, melting of plastic components and even engine fires. GM says it is aware of two engine fires in unsold XTS models and two cases of melted parts. Repairs for the issues affecting the XTS have not not mentioned by GM in the release. The Detroit News is also reporting that along with news of the triple-recall, GM is taking a $300-million credit to help pay for the repair costs, and to deal with the ongoing costs associated with the ignition switch recall. In an attempt to explain just what GM has been doing in the face of these very serious issues, newly minted CEO Mary Barra has addressed the issues in a new video.
2017 GMC Canyon steals Cadillac's V6 for a little more power
Mon, Aug 29 2016GMC is fortifying the Canyon with a new powertrain and two new trim levels for 2017. GMC will give the Canyon the 3.6-liter V6 found in the Cadillac ATS, CTS, CT6, and XT5 crossover. The engine will be matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission, which also can be found on Cadillacs, the new 2017 Colorado, and other General Motors vehicles. The new engine comes with variable valve timing, improved direct injection, and Active Fuel Management, which is a form of cylinder deactivation that shuts off two cylinders to increase fuel efficiency and performance. Power is up from 305 to 308 horsepower, while torque increases from 269 to 275 pound-feet of torque compared to the old 3.6-liter V6. With the new transmission, the Canyon benefits from a higher first gear ratio, which should help drivers get off the line more easily when towing large cargo, and lower overdrive ratios for improved fuel efficiency. The 2016 model had a six-speed automatic. The Colorado also gets the eight-speed transmission for '17. GMC previously announced the All Terrain X and Denali models. The All Terrain X trim is offered on the SLE model and comes with the new 3.6-liter V6 engine or the 2.8-liter Duramax turbo-diesel. The All Terrain X gets Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac P225/65R17 all-terrain tires, a body-color grille surround and matching rear step bumper, bespoke 17-inch aluminum wheels, and a spray-on bedliner. The truck also is fortified with Hill Descent Control and an off-road suspension. The Denali carries the flag as the most luxurious Canyon model and gets a Bose seven-speaker audio system, more chrome, and interior upgrades. In addition to the new models and the powertrain, the 2017 Canyon will be offered with new colors – Dark Slate Metallic, Mineral Metallic, and Red Quartz Metallic – a new IntelliLink radio with a seven-inch touchscreen, a heated steering wheel as an optional extra, and Standard Teen Driver Mode. The 2017 Canyon, with all of its changes, will be available in the fourth quarter of the year.
