CAR HISTORY:

This car came with no documentation. All the information and history for the car is what I was told by the previous owner. The extent of his video and picture documentation was enough for me. I'm a car guy. I purchased this car completely impetuously this past June with the intent of just keeping it for hte summer. Always wanted one. Unfortunately I live in New York City and quickly realized that storing and dealing with a 20 foot car was going to suck all the joy out if its ownership. I've put about 1,000 miles on the car. It has been sitting garaged in New Jersey since late September. Originally I wanted to hang on to it until 2016 when it would be a 40 year anniversary, but it's just too much of a hassle. The follks who've been letting me store the car, sold their house, and it's just become too much of a pain in the a**.  The following is the history of the car as told to me by the previous owner.

This car was purchased new in a dealership in Ft. Myers Florida in 1975. In 1988 the car was sold to the second owner In Garfield, New Jersey. It was utilized until early 1994 and it was parked in storage until 1998 when it was purchased by the third and previous registered owner, a member of the North Jersey Cadillac Club (sticker still on car). The car at that point was in need of some refreshing. In 1999-2000 It was restored with new paint (oem color, Calumet Cream), and it was brought up to driving conditions. New fluids, wires, plugs etc. It was registered and kept in a garage in the owners home. Since 2003 the car has had limited use and has largely been garaged by the owner at his house. In preparation for getting the car ready for sale, the previous owner, put a new top on the car and fixed a few minor electrical glitches. The car is ALL ORIGINAL.  I have not replaced anything besides the top, engine oil, and brakes (rear). It starts runs and drives very well!! Like a Cadillac should. The miles on the car read 13,468.

Ok, so that's from the previous owner, and this is from me. I do not believe the car is 13000 miles. It only has a 5 digit odometer, which reads 13,468, but i believe its actually 113,468. I believe that the vast majority of the '76 Eldorado Convertibles for sale on EBay are 100,000+ miles cars and not the super low mileage cars their owners misrepresent them to be. If that was the case it would seem that all 14,000 convertibles made in '76, were all immediately put away and never driven. I believe the odometer has not been tempered with or that it has rolled over more than once. In addition to the work done by the owner, i have relocated and rewired the convertible switch, replaced the convertible motor and replaced the muffler. Other than that the car is good to go. 

The 1,000 or so miles that I've put on it this summer were exclusively highway miles. I took it on a 350 mile round trip. The car ran like a champ and cruised at 75-80 effortlessly. I also had a chance to take the car on a private race track. Hey when do you get a chance to take a 76 Caddy on a 9 turn, banked, 1.5 mile track? I figured I had this chance and took it. Video shows car in action. I was incredibly surprised as to the responsiveness of the steering and how well this boat cornered

You can see 100+ photos (taken by previous owner) and 3 videos of the car. The first video is the car on the race track. The other two were video provided by the previous owner. The previous owner took incredible care to document the car and, to be honest, did a much better job than i could have. Thats why I used his pictures, videos and description.
