1976 CADILLAC ELDORADO CONVERTIBLE "....LAST OF THE GREAT CONVERTIBLES...." THIS CAR IS A SURVIVOR, WITH ONLY +-26,000 MILES IT WAS OBVIOUSLY LOVED BY ITS PREVIOUS OWNERS. TOP FUNCTIONS GREAT, ALL POWER WINDOWS WORK. RADIO AND EIGHT TRACK PLAYER WORK WELL (SMALL COLLECTION OF 8 TRACK TAPES INCLUDED). DRIVES PRETTY MUCH AS NEW, FLOATS DOWN THE ROAD AND WANDERS JUST LIKE YOU WOULD EXPECT A CAR OF THIS ERA TO DO. POWER TRUNK PULL DOWN AND REMOTE RELEASE WORK PERFECTLY. ALL GLASS IS GOOD. CHROME IS SHINY, AND TIRES ARE ABOUT 75%. INTERIOR AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES IS PRETTY MUCH PERFECT, NEEDS MINOR CLEANING BUT OTHERWISE AS NEW. CAR HAS BOTH HARD AND SOFT BOOT. WHEEL COVERS ORIGINAL. BRAKES ABOVE 60%, DISC BRAKES FRONT AND REAR. ENGINE RUNS GREAT, WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THE CADILLAC DEALER HAD JUST REPLACED THE QUADRA-JET CARB. NO LEAKS EVIDENT ANYWHERE. CAR WAS UNDERCOATED WHEN NEW AND STILL MAINTAINS ALL OF THE PRODUCT WHICH IN RETURN HAS PRESERVED THE UNDERSIDE FROM THE ELEMENTS. NEWER LOOKING EXHAUST (UNSURE OF WHEN OR IF REPLACED). POWER SEATS WORK LIKE NEW. DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANELS ARE DAMAGE FREE AS ARE THE SEATS. ALL LIGHTS WORK INCLUDING TWILIGHT SENTINEL AND AUTO DIMMING BRIGHT HEADLAMPS. OF COURSE THIS CAR IS ALMOST 40 YEARS OLD, SOME THINGS COULD USE A LITTLE HELP. THE RADIO ANTENNA WORKS, BUT IS JUST BEGINNING TO NOT RETRACT ALL THE WAY. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO WORK, NOT SURE IF IT IS SWITCH OR MISTAKE WHEN NEW CARB WAS INSTALLED. A/C BLOWS BUT IS NOT COLD, HAVE NOT INVESTIGATED, MAY JUST NEED CHARGED - NOT SURE. RADIO WORKS BUT THE SPEAKERS SOUND AS THOUGH THE BASS CONES MAY BE DAMAGED. TOP FUNCTIONS COMPLETELY BUT THE MATERIAL IS ORIGINAL TO THE CAR, THEREFORE IT SHOULD BE REPLACED AS THERE ARE TWO SMALL HOLES IN THE DRIVER REAR AND THE STITCHING IS BEGINNING TO DETERIORATE FROM AGE. PAINT APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL AND IS THEREFORE BEGINNING TO WEAR THIN ON SOME OF THE SHARPER EDGES AND HOOD/TRUNK ARE STARTING TO SHOW AGE. APPEARS THAT BUMPER FILLERS FRONT AND REAR WERE REPLACED AT SOME TIME BUT ARE LIKE NEW. CARB SEEMS TO NEED ADJUSTED AS CAR OCCAISIONALLY STALLS BUT FIRES RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN. THIS CAR IS A VERY NICE HONEST DRIVER, NOT A BARRETT-JACKSON "STUPID" TYPE RESTORATION. WINNING AT LOCAL SHOWS, CRUISING DOWN THE BOULEVARD, HAVING A BLAST WITH THE FAMILY....ALL THESE THINGS THIS CAR WOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE IMMEDIATELY. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PROJECT TO TAKE TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND GIVE IT A "STUPID" RESTORATION THIS CAR IS A GREAT MONEY SAVING STARTING PLACE. MILEAGE MAY VARY FROM LISTING AS THE CAR IS STILL BEING ENJOYED WHEN POSSIBLE. |

Cadillac's semi-autonomous Super Cruise pushed back to 2017
Thu, Jan 14 2016It looks like General Motors is discovering just how difficult it is to bring autonomous vehicle technology fit for public consumption to market. The company has pushed back the launch of its semi-autonomous Super Cruise technology by several months. Originally promised by CEO Mary Barra for a fall 2016 debut, Super Cruise was supposed to be offered first on the new CT6 sedan. Automotive News is reporting that won't be the case, following a statement from GM confirming that the new system would be pushed to sometime in 2017. At the very least, that's a several month delay. GM cited the need to get the system right and keep owners safe, which prevented a firm date for Super Cruise's debut. Product boss Mark Reuss was more blunt, though, telling AN, "It will come out when it is ready." Super Cruise would be one of the earliest examples of driverless tech to be put into public hands, following the introduction of Tesla's semi-autonomous AutoPilot system in 2015. Most other automakers experimenting with the autonomous vehicles don't foresee public sales until early in the next decade, including Toyota, Renault-Nissan, and Volvo. Before Barra suggested a 2016 debut, GM originally aimed to introduce its semi-autonomous system in 2020. Related Video:
2016 Cadillac CTS-V prepares to kick ass, take names
Tue, Jan 13 2015Some stories write themselves. This post on the North American International Auto Show debut of the 2016 Cadillac CTS-V is one of them. This 200-mile-per-hour sedan pilfers the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 from the Chevy Corvette Z06, and puts it to the same tire-devastating effect, offering up 640 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic – please join us in a moment of silence for the dearly departed manual CTS-V – then dispatches the force-induced thrust to a very large, sticky set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. To ensure the CTS-V can tear your face off with lateral Gs as well as accelerative Gs, Cadillac stiffened the car's structure by 25 percent, fitted magnetic ride control and fitted the aforementioned tires. Beyond the mechanicals, a substantial rear spoiler, front splitter and diffuser improve grip through aerodynamics. Keeping drivers pinned during all this tire shredding and face tearing is the task of meaty, two-piece Recaro sport seats, which are found in a luxuriously appointed cabin, complete with 4G LTE connectivity, a Bose stereo and Siri Eyes Free. There's even a Performance Data Recorder, which will be on hand to record your miscues if (or perhaps when) the car's extreme abilities outpace your own talents. Take a look at our array of live images from the CTS-V's official debut at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show.
Despite De Nysschen saying it won't, Cadillac cuts struggling CTS prices
Wed, Jan 7 2015Ah, well that didn't last long. Not even two years after elevating the price of the then-new third-generation Cadillac CTS by $7,000, the company is now stepping back, telling dealers it will be slashing the price of the 2015 model by anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000. It seems that there are two reasons behind Cadillac's move. First, and most obviously, are its slumping sales, down seven percent last year. That figure is made worse, Automotive News reports, by the seven-percent gain made by the greater luxury market, not to mention gains from fellow American luxury brand Lincoln. Cadillac, meanwhile, also likely faced pressure from its dealer body, which AN reports hasn't been so keen on the price increases. The price reduction is something of a surprise following statements made by Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen shortly after he took office. In September of last year, the 54-year-old exec, who took charge of Cadillac in July of 2014, defended the company's decision to raise prices, telling Automotive News a price cut was "not going to happen." It seems current conditions contradict de Nysschen's statements, though. "We're taking what we've seen are the more desirable optional features for customers and making them more readily available," Cadillac's Dave Caldwell said of the price cut. "Once a car has been on the market for a while, it's not unusual to look at the customer behavior and try to optimize for it." In what's sure to be a pleasant surprise for anyone in the market for a CTS, the most expensive models are getting the biggest price cut, with the price on the Premium and Performance Collection sedans dropping $3,000, AN reports. The 2.0T will get a $2,000 drop, while certain optional extras will now be standard on the Luxury trim, including a panoramic sunroof, navigation and Bose stereo.
