Classic 1997 Cadillac Eldorado Etc Touring Coupe 2-door Emaculate/pristine on 2040-cars
Mesa, Arizona, United States

Have you noticed that most of the cars listed here
on ebay are from the Rust Bucket States like New Jersey, New York, Illinois and
yes, even Pennsylvania? Talk to any mechanic, and they will tell you that the
bolts break off the end of almost every single connection on the car. Little bubbles appear in the paint job at
most of the wheel wells and the floor boards feel springy when you get in. My Mechanic will not even do an oil change on
an “Eastern Sea Board” car as they seem to bend once you get them on a rack and
something always goes wrong with the car even on minor maintenance. Yes, some car’s are advertised as being kept
in a heated garage but unless you do a complete undercarriage car wash after every
time you drive it, well, you get the picture.
People flock to Florida for the “little Old Lady” syndrome for low
mileage and excellent care of the car. Don’t
kid yourself; you have no idea of the
damage living near the Salt Water of Florida does to a car. Out in Arizona, we have every major Airline in the
world parking their 747’s in storage as a plane stored In Arizona is like
having a time capsule. Even the United States
Government parked their World War II planes at Davis Monthan Air Force Base in
Tucson. Even the DEA parks their
confiscated planes there as they may sit there for years before trial. We also have Sun City, the original housing
development created by Del Webb for retirement folks over age 65. Arizona is probably the only place in the
Nation that you can truly find a “clean” used car. We have an auction out here called Barrett-Jackson Classic Car
Auction where you can find million dollar cars.
Only a true connoisseur of fine
automobiles are even going to know the name of Barret-Jackson, but real
collectors do. Don’t
make a mistake. You can buy a car here
really cheap from one of the Rust Bucket States or you can buy a pristine car,
well kept and truly a “keeper”. My
private collection is constantly updated with classic cars that will sooner or
later end up at Barret-Jackson. Look at
a 1958 Cadillac listed at a quarter of a million dollars and you will get a
clue. The first car I ever bought new
was a 66 Corvette. Kept my used Jaguar XKE because I just had an idea that it
would go up in value. I was right. The
next new car I bought was a 1969 Mustang 428 from a garage owned by a former
race car driver called Carroll Shelby. I
did pretty well with that one also. The
Cobra from the same garage was my best hit.
Certain cars have that look and feel that will eventually put them in
the “hall of fame”. When people stop and
turn their heads to stare, you have a pretty good idea your on to the right
model. Certain cars have what is called
curb appeal and those cars are the first ones that sell on a lot as opposed to
the plane Jane’s that sit on the rear of the lot and never get any
attention. Did you ever wonder why Cops
write twice as many speeding tickets to “red” cars as they do “Black”
cars? It’s not because they speed twice
as often, it’s because a red car will even make a cop turn his head to
look. Unlike
most people here on ebay, I am in no big hurry to sell my cars. I always like to update my collection and ad
new and exciting cars to it. I offer a
few of my cars from time to time to increase my collection, not reduce it. I usually ad money to what ever I sell and go
out and seek a rare and collectible. If
it is from my collection, you can be assured it is low mileage, cherry and
destined for greatness. It didn’t take a Rocket Scientist to know that a 57
Chevy or a 65 Mustang was going to light up the collectors boards. It’s the sleepers that are difficult to spot
and what was very much in demand the day they were bought (think 63 Corvette
split window coupe or Gull Wing Mercedes) will end up being collectors cars
when you least expect it. OFFERED
FOR SALE: 1997 Cadillac Eldorado ETC a truly classic Touring Car. Fire Engine Red with immaculate leather interior. Just look at the other cars offered here on ebay and look closely at the cracks In their seat leather and you will soon discover what the advantage of being kept in an Air Conditioned Garage is. A/C is also a dehumidifier and that removes the moisture from the air taking away water that not only causes Rust, but also removes the dryness from real leather. Sitting down in the car is like sitting on the show room floor. This car has less than 64000 miles on it and the last ten years it has been driven less than a thousand miles per year. Yes, you heard that right. According to AutoCheck, this car was driven less than Ten Thousand miles in the last ten years and stored in an air conditioned garage for its entire life. My mechanic spent the last three days going through this car trying to find something wrong. He Couldn’t. He didn’t want to return it either as his wife fell in love with the car. Don’t miss out on this one. A real classic are far and few between and you might not see one this nice for quite a while to come. If you have ever wondered what the true meaning of the word "antique" or Classic really means, simply compare it to the day it was made. If it was truly a work of art the day it was built, it will still be a piece of art fifty years later. Build a piece of junk and no matter how old it is, it will still be junk when it arrives on the antique market. That can never be said about the classic lines or design artwork on a Cadillac Eldorado. Quality is built in, not given freely on some advertising brochure. This fine piece of History was garage kept it's entire life. It has never left the cover of it's air conditioned sealed and locked garage unless it was in use. Stored in an environmental controlled condition since the day of manufacture, this car shows it. One look at it's pristine luxury interior and you know the car was well kept, well loved and preserved for the ages. Not every car can become a classic, but this one was destined for History the day it was built. Don't miss your opportunity of owning a truly great piece of History, the Cadillac Eldorado. |

Cadillac CT4 and CT5 high-performance V cars spied
Mon, Dec 16 2019This summer, Cadillac teased much more impressive V-series models than the lukewarm CT4-V and CT5-V. Now we get a better look at both super sedans, each one boasting more aggressive, but subtle visual upgrades. Normally we would talk about the visual changes to each car individually, but the changes are nearly identical between the cars. They both get deeper chin spoilers and lower side skirts. The lower grille opening now features slatted sections on either end. The headlights, main grille and hood all look unchanged from the regular V models. The same goes for the rear bumpers and tailpipes. The rear spoilers on both are much taller, though. The wheels on the CT4 look about the same as the CT4-V, but the CT5 wheels look a bit different with more detail. We also get a good look at the wheel-filling brakes. Cadillac hasn't said anything concrete about the specifications of the hotter CT4 and CT5 models, except that they'll definitely be faster than the revealed V models. One thing we do know, thanks to our spy photographer's video from earlier this year (shown above), the CT5 will get a V8. Our bet is on it being the Blackwing twin-turbo V8 that's available in the CT6-V and CT6 Platinum. It would probably have at least the same output at the CT6-V at 550 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque. Expect the 10-speed automatic transmission to carry over with it. This drivetrain would also open up the possibility of all-wheel drive. As for the fast CT4, it could potentially revive the ATS-V's twin-turbo V6 with 464 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. It would probably also get a 10-speed automatic and maybe all-wheel drive as an option.
Cadillac's Blackwing V8 was the best engine at the worst time
Sat, Jun 20 2020It should be clear that GM knows how to innovate and engineer excellent products when it wants to. Cadillac's 4.2-liter twin-turbo Blackwing V8 is recent proof of that. Yet, as related in an extensive Road & Track piece, the Blackwing became victim to some of The General's bugbears, like the reticence to — for whatever reasons — unleash its excellence everywhere, fund that excellence, and be consistent with that excellence over the long term beyond the Corvette and full-sized pickups and SUVs. The R/T story relates tales told by "several people deeply involved with the Blackwing project" about how an engine 18 years in the making was deprived of its reasons for being in less than three. Starting around 2000, GM spent a dozen years building Cadillac up to the point where the American luxury brand could rationally flip to the chapter called, "Taking the Fight to the Germans, but for Real this Time." The first steps in the plan meant an exclusive platform and an exclusive engine. The platform was called Omega. You know the engine's name. They were going to be the aluminum-blocked fist and velvet glove enabling Cadillac to break on through to the other side of luxury — proper luxury to global standards, that is — with a range of beautiful and dynamic crossovers and sedans. An engineer involved in the project estimates GM poured $16 million into the Blackwing's clean-sheet development. Many more seven-figure sums went into creating the first sedan on the Omega platform, the CT6. The automaker dropped millions again poaching ex-Audi and Infiniti chief Johan de Nysschen, and moving Cadillac's headquarters to New York City in 2014. Further pallets of cash funded the development and debut of the Escala concept at Pebble Beach in 2016. In 2018, GM revealed its dramatically named DOHC twin-turbo V8. Considering what came before, the Blackwing clearly wasn't designed for cars. It was designed for world domination. However, against the backdrop of plummeting sedan sales, the CT6 didn't sell like GM had hoped. The automaker hesitated to marshal another fleet of Brinks trucks to fund entries into a cratering bodystyle. Removing sedans from the world domination equation created more difficult math for the crossovers and the Escala.
Cadillac XT4 crossover reveals its lighting
Tue, Jan 30 2018The upcoming Cadillac XT4 compact crossover has once again been spotted, this time with less camouflage and an update to its lighting. Specifically, the little crossover is sporting production lighting front and rear, and it's sure to make the luxury SUV one of the boldest-looking Cadillacs. Part of the reason for this comes from the taillights. As we suspected from the last set of spy shots, the XT4 will have highly distinctive lights that run the full height of the C-pillar. Though it's a similar design to that of the Escalade, it's made more interesting by the significant forward rake of the rear pillar. Not only that, but that pillar is quite thick, too. The look is actually reminiscent of the old CTS wagon. Moving around the side, the reduced camouflage reveals that the doors and quarter panels are fairly conservative and lacking in many creases or bulges. We can make out the edges of what will likely be black plastic fender flares and rocker panel cladding. Finally reaching the front, we see that the headlights are similar to those of many current Cadillacs, including the recently refreshed XTS sedan. The main part of the lamp starts high up and is slightly horizontal like the Escala concept, but they extend over the fenders and a strip of LEDs descends down the front. A previous report noted the XT4 will be built in Kansas on the Chevy Malibu platform. That means it will be a front-drive-based vehicle likely offering both front- and all-wheel-drive. Under the hood will probably be at least one turbocharged four-cylinder engine, with a second, more powerful upgrade option a possibility. We expect to see the fully revealed model to show up by the end of 2018.
