1972 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe 500 Cubic Inch 8.2l on 2040-cars
Waukesha, Wisconsin, United States
|
1972 Eldorado. 8.2 liter 500 Cu. In 375 HP.
This car has bee properly maintained, with the following replaced in the last two years: new vacuum hoses, rebuilt brake calipers, new brake pads, rebuilt brake master cylinder, new axle shafts, new brake hoses front and back, new rear brake shoes, cylinders, drums, rear wheel bearings and seals, replaced all of the exhaust after the Y pipe, new aluminum radiator, new water pump, hoses, belts, heater core, heater valve, heater control module, cruise control transducer, battery, Monroe shocks, rebuilt Quadrajet carb, new fuel pump, tuned up, new ignition coil, rebuilt alternator. The car was repainted years ago; the original color was Firemist Gold, but it was redone in a lighter gold color. The original keys, including gold-plated key with the Cadillac crest surrounded by laurels are included. This car is heavily-optioned, runs and drives excellently. The interior is in beautiful condition and the only issue with the body is some damage (visible in the last picture) to the right rear quarter panel from a tire blowout on the freeway. All 5 tires; the 4 on the ground and the spare, were all replaced immediately afterwards. The engine does leak coolant due to a rusted freeze plug that needs to be replaced. Odometer shows 90,448 miles. The only barrier to driving this car cross-country is the cost of gasoline. The only reason I'm selling it is because I'm moving to Texas and its too expensive to take the car with. I'm willing to work with international shippers, provided all the details are taken care of by the buyer and that payment is made in full prior to the car being picked up. Here's a video walk-around of the car with a brief demonstration of the acceleration: youtube.com/watch?v=gvoZkfzN_CQ |

How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution
Sun, 30 Dec 2012The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.
Akerson says Cadillac will get a larger sedan within two years
Mon, 22 Jul 2013It seems that during a recent affair showing off the 2014 Cadillac CTS, General Motors CEO Dan Akerson confirmed reports regarding a new Cadillac flagship sedan. According to USA Today, which Akerson was visiting, he said that a sedan larger than the XTS would debut within the next two years.
This matches up with what we heard earlier in the month about a Cadillac model that will go up against the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class (not a pricier, low-volume sedan also discussed in that article). But this is the first time a high-profile executive name has been attributed to such a report, and the first time a broad timeframe has been mentioned. This article adds that the unnamed car will be rear-, and all-wheel drive with a platform "loosely based" on the new CTS, with styling closer to that car than recent Cadillac concept vehicles. The XTS will continue production of course, as well.
Cadillac Elmiraj Concept slinks in Leno's Garage
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Jay Leno's Garage has moved to Pebble Beach for the week. This time around, the affable comedian is taking a look at the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept that debuted during the Monterey car week, and is talking to General Motors vice president of global design, Ed Welburn.
There's plenty of reminiscing about what concept cars were like when these two were kids, before a fairly deep dive into the striking Elmiraj Concept itself. Welburn shares a few anecdotes about the design process behind the two-door concept, including how his designers changed his mind on the grille design.
After bringing up the Cimarron, Leno makes a solid point that the Elmiraj would be a solid production car that could even spawn a four-door variant. We couldn't agree more. Take a look below for the full video from Jay Leno's Garage.
