1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible 2-Door (500 cid V8) LOW MILES
The last year of the factory built Eldorado Convertibles. These are collected and driven by lovers of the biggest and most powerful rag tops ever built. This one has been owned and pampered by the same family since brand new and adult driven a little over 700 miles on special occasions and parades only. She was started and warmed on a regular basis to keep the fluids flowing. Just take a peak at the pictures to see how outstanding she is.
Equipped including
Paint The painted metal surfaces look like that of a car that is just a few months old. The family explained that other then the new bumper fillers, it has never had any paint work since they bought it new. All very smooth and shiny original paint. The fillers have a very similar finish but just like when these cars were brand new, they don’t match perfectly in every light condition or angle. I did not see any other chips or nicks on the surface which is the result of only 700 miles. Body The body is about as close to like new as you could probably imagine. Original and very straight and correct to the point of how they were built brand new with the exception of a slight little factory deviation in the hood that can only be seen under fluorescent lights. Being extremely critical, there also is a slight dimple in the top edge of the left quarter (see pics).
Bright Work All of the bright work appears to be in place and fastened properly. The stainless surrounding the window areas as well as the balance of the chrome and stainless looks free of any aging, wear or damage. The only exceptions being a slight light pitting on the very top of the front & rear bumpers and door handles (see pics). Glass Overall, the glass is as close to new as imaginable and without the usual vertical light scratching that power windows often develop. All glass being very clear, no delaminating, discoloring, cracks, or wiper marks as the car has just not been used that much.
Top The Vinyl top is only a few months old. It was replaced as an edge was gnawed on by something (1” approx) extremely bright white and new material in and out. (See interior top pics). Interior With its having very little exposure, it remains about as close to new as imaginable. When sitting in the drivers seat and admiring the dash and steering wheel, it’s like a trip back in time. Other then a little cleaning on the doors arm rests where they are touched, a slight seat spot, a glove box paint flake, and the foam maybe breaking down in the visors, it’s like taking a trip back to the Cadillac showroom in 1976 during the Bicentenial.
Trunk Thought it’s also had very little use like the rest of the car, the black flooring has been slightly damaged by what I guess to be a rodent (mouse?) ( easily replaced ) We have the original inflatable spare, canister, and jack in place. Tires Tires, wheels, caps are all original per the family LR78-15. 10 to 11/32" remaining on all tires depths.
Engine The engine compartment inspection doesn’t not show any obvious changes except the battery has been replaced. A slight belt dust and a concern did find an alternator replacement necessary Chassis You can see some factory markings and some metal with a bright shine yet. Others not painted very well upon assemble. Just as you would expect a 700 mile car with normal surface rust from a typical garage storage situation. May have received a typical dealer light undercoat or factory coverage.
Test Drive Chad has started the car cold, warm, let idle, and drove it several miles around the neighborhood. The engine seems to start and run well as designed. With no plates he couldn’t drive it out on the main road. Trans seems to shift up and down properly. Chad was able to drive up to around 40-45 mph in the neighborhood. Steering was nice and smooth and works as designed. Upon braking, do not notice pulsation or pulling in brakes. A light air noise was heard in the rear but I’m not sure what it is. Tires seem slightly out of round and give slight vibration in steering wheel. This may or may not straighten itself out with a few more miles and getting tires warm. The owner explained that she had received the car new as an anniversary gift. Her son added that an in house mechanic looked over the car at least yearly and performed service. T his included oil changes and needed fluids most every year. They also made it a point to at least start and warm the engine sometime within every 3-4 months.
Chad tested the following (nothing noted as not operating) [ PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING ]

Auto Connection is not responsible for any misrepresentation by the seller and/or errors in research results, including history statements of vehicle history, repairs, etc. This vehicle is being sold AS IS and without a warranty, unless otherwise stated. Information about serial numbers, engine numbers, and any other codes does not guarantee a vehicle’s authenticity. These codes and numbers are not guaranteed to be the same as the information on the vehicle ID or vin, trim tag, engine block, cylinder heads, transmission, differential, or other components within this vehicle. Auto Connection does not guarantee documentation, authenticity, repairs, mechanical work, titles, odometer discrepancies, matching numbers, stamped engines, casting numbers, or any other codes, tags, or numbers. The potential for reproduction paper documentation exists, as well as restamped engines and reproduced trim/data tags. Auto Connection has described this vehicle to the best of their knowledge, but does not guarantee the accuracy of the description. Prospective buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence, including a physical inspection of the vehicle in person, or through a qualified third party inspector/appraiser. We welcome inspections and even have an 8 page professional vehicle inspection form you or your appraiser can use. The vehicle will remain for sale until a buyer has placed a deposit on it. This deposit is nonrefundable with the exception of the vehicle being severely misrepresented by Auto Connection or the seller, or stipulated in the Bill of Sale. It is possible that this vehicle will be sold at a higher price than the highest bid (before or after the auction ends), if the reserve is not met. After the sale (if reserve is met or not), Auto Connection must receive at least a 10% deposit (wire transfer or official bank or cashier’s check) within 3 days of the end of the auction (or the Bill of Sale is signed). The high bidder/buyer has 10 days from this time to send the balance in full or final payment and inspect the vehicle (or have a 3rd party professional inspection). For the most part, the vehicle for sale is not “perfect”. It is unreasonable to assume that every single flaw in the paint, body, engine, etc. or any minor mechanical items (such as a light not working) be considered a reason to refuse the vehicle. Major rust/rot, undisclosed problems with the frame, etc. might constitute a legitimate reason for the buyer to refuse to follow through with the sale. In that situation, Auto Connection would negotiate with the seller and buyer to try to reach an agreeable solution.

He accepts the vehicle with all advertised equipment, options and accessories in "AS IS" condition with any faults or defects. The buyer will bear all future costs of repairs or correcting any defects that exist or may occur in the future.

Sunday Drive: An automotive flavor for every taste
Sun, Feb 25 2018Last week was flush with interesting new vehicle debuts, led by the new 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. This crossover is entering straight into the heart of one of the world's most competitive automotive segments, and it's doing so with a fresh sense of style and a brace of new technologies. Our readers are clearly intrigued – the Santa Fe was the biggest news story of the last week on these online pages. It's fitting that a crossover generated a lot more interest than a traditional wagon, though we don't really have to be happy about it. Still, the completely new, fully redesigned Volvo V60 is worth taking another look at. First of all, it's pretty, in a traditionally Scandinavian way. Second, it's quick, with a 0-60 time of as little as 4.8 seconds. And finally, it's practical, with all kinds of room for cargo without the dynamic penalties of an unnecessary lift kit. Moving on from new vehicle debuts, we took another long look at the Honda Ridgeline. It's definitely a non-conformist pickup truck, based not on a body-on-frame platform but on a more carlike unibody design. That means it can't tow as much as some other trucks, but it also means the Ridgeline drives better than any of its more truckish competitors. It's the Swiss army knife of pickup trucks. Rounding out our coverage from last week are three sets of spy photos, each showing the interior of a hotly anticipated new model. One is a truck, one is a crossover, and the last is a sportscar. All of them are worth another look. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the most important news in the automotive world. 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe unveiled 2019 Volvo V60 | Sleek, swift new twist on the Swedish wagon 2018 Honda Ridgeline | Pocketknife pickup is up for anything 2019 GMC Sierra interior looks just like the Silverado's 2019 Cadillac XT4 interior has actual buttons, no more touch-sensitive panel 2020 Porsche 911 992 spy shots show interior and manual transmission Cadillac GMC Honda Hyundai Porsche Volvo Truck Crossover Wagon Luxury Performance Sedan hyundai santa fe
Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites
Sun, Jan 7 2024Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.
