76,000 Miles, Triple White, Good Original Condition, With Extras Included on 2040-cars
Manchester Township, New Jersey, United States
Up for auction is my 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible, in
Cotillion White with white interior and white convertible top. It has been garage
kept since I purchased it in 2008, driven sparingly in season and never driven
during winter. All original mileage (76,000+) and factory-installed standard
equipment; I believe the paint to be 1x repainted in factory original Cotillion
White with red pinstripes.
The car has been driven sparingly with care, and has a clean
title/history. It has not been recently detailed and has been mostly sitting in
a garage. Please contact seller if you would like to exchange phone numbers or
see additional pictures – I will try to post more during the week. The car can
be seen in Manchester Township, NJ if you are in the area.
Read on for detailed specifications and terms of sale, payment
and shipping. Thank you for looking.
The exterior of the car I believe to have been redone in its
original cotillion white. When I purchased the car in 2008, I also acquired a
full set of replacement body fillers and painted them to match the factory
Cadillac color. I only got around to installing the front right fender filler,
which had the most immediate need. The rest can be seen in the photos of
additional parts that will be included with purchase. The paint on this car has
some sun fade but overall looks good. There is a noticeable scratch on the
driver’s side rear quarter panel. This car has never sustained any collision
damage and has one small area of rust repair beneath the passenger door. I
never even noticed it myself until the car was up on a lift. The white
convertible top is worn and could use replacing. It was like this when I
purchased the car. I originally intended to do some work to it make it show
quality, but time and money (or lack thereof) got in the way and it stayed the
good looking casual driver it is today. With the work that I never
accomplished, she would be a gem. The car is complete with all of its stainless
and chrome trim except for the hood ornament, which someone helped themselves
to while I was out in it one night. The car sits on older but decent tread
tires and red painted era-correct hubcaps that match the dash, carpet and
parade boot (a nice touch). You’ll see in the pictures I have a brand new set
of chrome plated hubcaps that I am including with purchase. The interior is white leather. The driver’s side seat shows wear
and the vinyl armrest on the driver’s door is torn. The rest of the seats and
doors are quite clean; the back seat is immaculate. The dash is good for it’s
age with some dirt and fading and two small stress cracks to the driver side
upper dash that are very small. Full working power on all four windows and
seats are dual 6-way power. The power to the top does not work. It was in that
condition when I bought it and I don’t know what the cause is. It could be the
top motor or as simple as a relay. I have been raising and lowering the top
manually, but not often as I really don’t ever drive the car unless it is top
down weather. The red parade boot can be seen in the photos and is included. The
driver’s side view mirror glass is a bit loose inside the casing, and there is
a crack in the windshield. Heater/blower works but is noisy at times and A/C does not blow
cold. It has the original Cadillac AM/FM 8 track radio, though it does not play
8 tracks. Power steering, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, front and rear
seat belts, full size spare and jack in the trunk. Carpet is faded and worn in
spots, but better than average for an almost 40 year old car. The original 8.2L 500 CID engine starts and runs every time but
could use a going through and probably a tune up. It does have a newly
installed water pump. It also has a complete new exhaust and runs very quiet.
The suspension is sitting a little low in the rear and could probably stand to
be replaced. The transmission shifts nicely through all gears and the brakes
work well with a recently replaced power brake booster.

GM executive chief EV engineer says reducing cost of plug-in vehicles is 'huge priority'
Mon, Mar 17 2014As we know, another major automaker investing heavily in electrified vehicles is General Motors, and it's doing things much differently than rivals BMW, Ford or Nissan. The Chevrolet Volt extended-range EV is a modest seller at its $35,000 sticker price but a huge hit with owners. The Chevy Spark BEV, still in limited availability, puts smiley faces on its owners and drivers. The just-introduced Cadillac ELR, a sharp-looking, fun-driving $76,000 luxocoupe take on the Volt's EREV mechanicals, has admittedly low sales expectations. With this interesting trio in showrooms and much more in the works, the third vehicle electrification leader I collared for an interview at Detroit's North American International Auto Show (see #1 and #2) was Pam Fletcher, GM's executive chief engineer, Electrified Vehicles. ABG: Why do your EREVs need four-cylinder power to extend their range when BMW's i3 makes do with an optional 650 cc two-banger? "We designed [the Volt and the ELR] to go anywhere, any time" - Pam Fletcher PF: I get that question all the time: why not something smaller? You don't really need that much. You use the electric to its ability, then you just need to limp. But we designed those cars to go anywhere, any time, and we don't want their performance to be compromised. If you're driving through the mountains, we don't want you to be crawling up grades, or to be limited on any terrain. So it's optimized to be able to travel literally the biggest grades and mountain roads around the globe at posted speeds. Because what if you can't? Another good reason: when the engine is on, you have to run it wide open throttle, max speed, most of the time. And while we can do a lot with acoustics, and the ELR has active noise cancelation, a small-displacement, low cylinder-count engine at high speed, high load all the time isn't something you want to live with. That's how we came up with the balance we did among the key factors of performance, NVH [noise, vibration and harshness] and range. ABG: Where you go from here? Is the range-extender engine due for an update? PF: We know and love the current Volt, and there is still a lot of acclaim about it, so we think it's a good recipe. But we are heavily in the midst of engineering the next-generation car, which I think everyone will love and be excited about.
2016 Cadillac CTS-V arrives with 640 hp, 200-mph top speed
Mon, Dec 22 2014Ask the company's executive team, and they'll tell you "this is the maximum Cadillac V-Series." It's the 2016 CTS-V sedan, and it packs the very best of what's possible at Cadillac. And the company says it doesn't think "anyone thought it was possible that we could push [the CTS-V] this far." The big news is what's underhood: General Motors' supercharged, 6.2-liter LT4 V8, tuned to 640 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque. That's 10 hp and 20 lb-ft less than the monstrous Corvette Z06, and the result is the most powerful car Cadillac has ever produced. With rear-wheel drive, launch control and the eight-speed automatic transmission (sorry, folks – no more manual transmission here), Cadillac says the 2016 CTS-V will sprint to 60 miles per hour in just 3.7 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 200 miles per hour. Naturally, Cadillac's engineers say they have tuned the CTS-V to ensure it can put all that power to the ground with the most precision and poise possible. That starts with the excellent Magnetic Ride Control active damping system (with a claimed 40-percent increase in responsiveness)and a 25-percent increase in structural stiffness that should improve overall handling and steering. What's more, a high-performance Brembo brake package comes standard, as do 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped in seriously sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires that will reportedly offer 1g in lateral acceleration. Cadillac also says that all changes to the bodywork are functional. That includes a carbon-fiber hood, front splitter, rear spoiler and diffuser that are super light and aid with aerodynamics and weight reduction – all of which will be available as an optional package for folks who like the exposed carbon look. Inside, it's more of what we're used to on lesser CTS models, but there's newly optional carbon fiber trim, microfiber suede upholstery trim, and some seriously awesome Recaro seats. Additionally, as we exclusively reported earlier, Cadillac will offer GM's Performance Data Recorder in the CTS-V. It records high-definition video with data overlays that's sharable via social media. Beyond that, Cadillac will offer the usual smattering of tech goodies, including Siri Eyes Free, OnStar with 4G LTE, CUE infotainment with navigation and Bose audio. The CTS-V will launch later next year, following the debut of the smaller ATS-V. In the meantime, the sedan will officially bow at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show in just a few weeks.
Cadillac V-Series Academy comes to Las Vegas [w/video]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013General Motors has added another high-speed education course to the curriculum at the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. The desert track already hosts the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School with Chevrolet Corvettes, including the ZR1, and they've just added the Cadillac V-Series Academy.
Open now, the one- and two-day performance driving school teaches "the finer points of high performance driving" using the 556-horspower instructional aids known as the CTS-V sedan, coupe and wagon. This is different than than using the CTS-V at the Monticello Motor Club on the east coast - that's part of a sponsorship deal that Cadillac has with the track. The driving course at the Motorsports Ranch is its own program that was developed by Fellows, and we have no reason to think the Cadillac edition won't be just as thorough and enjoyable as the one with Corvettes.
Unlike the 'Vette edition, however, it doesn't appear that you get an invitation to the program if you buy a CTS-V model. Classes are capped at 12 participants and run $1,295 for a single day, $2,295 for two days. There are a video and a press release below with more info.
