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 CT6 refresh has hints of Escala
Fri, Jun 16 2017Almost a year after Cadillac showed its stunning Escala concept at Pebble Beach, we're finally seeing some of that car's influence on production cars. These spy shots reveal that the CT6 will undergo a mild refresh, and despite the camouflage, we can make out details that show it will have looks more in line with the concept. One of the defining characteristics of the Escala were narrow, horizontal headlights, while the current CT6 has long, vertical lamps that go up the tops of the fenders. This prototype seems to split the difference. The bases of the lights terminate higher up on the fascia, emulating the Escala, but still travel up the fenders. It also appears that the LED accent lights remain, but it's possible they've been separated from the main lamps to become more like the concept. The grille has also been revised. It's hard to make out the exact shape, but the insert is the same type of mesh as the Escala's, with little highlights that look like miniature Cadillac crests. The full-size, full-color crest also appears to sit higher in the grille, which is another nod toward the concept. The lower grille in the front bumper also looks larger and more angular. That doesn't really lean toward either model, but should give the car an edgier look. The rest of the car looks generally the same as the current model. Even the tail shows little indication of changes. It's possible that the rear taillights could have an Escala-like horizontal section at the top of the trunk lid, but there's nothing visible on this prototype that would confirm that change either way. Since this is a relatively mild refresh, we would expect to see it fully revealed early next year. Related Video:
2021 Cadillac CT5 Review | Is the price (and size) right?
Thu, Nov 5 2020The Cadillac CT5, which was brand new for the 2020 model year, took the place of the CTS in General Motors’ luxury sedan portfolio. Its mission is the same as the car it replaced: compete on equal footing with the German trio of Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz along with Japanese brands Acura, Infiniti and Lexus. But it does so with a radically different package than the CTS. In place of the sharp corners and angular greenhouse of its predecessor is a smoother sedan with a flowing fastback shape. The new CT5 is also around $10,000 cheaper than the CTS it replaces, despite the fact that the two are within a few inches in exterior dimensions. So while it may be sized similarly to the cars it used to compete with, including the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class, it's now priced like a 3 Series or C-Class. Clearly, Cadillac thinks this refined strategy will position the CT5 to better compete against those established luxury players. The car itself drives quite well and is stylish, well equipped, and that price-to-size ratio gives it a unique proposition to attract buyers away from the Europeans. What's new for 2021? The CT5 finally gets CadillacÂ’s Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology for 2021. It's the latest version that includes Lane Change on Demand functionality, but itÂ’s only available on Premium Luxury and V-Series trim levels. CaddyÂ’s sport sedan also gets a 12-inch digital gauge cluster with multiple themes, including a Track theme on the high-performance CT5-V. A new Diamond Sky special edition package will be offered on Premium Luxury CT4 and CT5 models, adding interior and exterior styling upgrades along with all-season run-flat tires on unique wheels. Additional updates include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a console-mounted rotary infotainment knob that enables left and right clicks to more easily navigate the infotainment system. 2020 Cadillac CT5 View 22 Photos  What's the CT5Â’s interior and in-car technology like? The Cadillac CT5 interior can best be described as “nice enough.” Unfortunately, "nice enough" isnÂ’t quite good enough to compare favorably with Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz or Volvo. We'd say it's not good enough to compare with cross-town rival Lincoln, either, but they won't be selling sedans in 2021.
Off-road Cadillac Escalade adds some extra bush country capability
Wed, 26 Jun 2013So, you're a dyed-in-the-wool General Motors fan, but like the notion of a machine like the Hennessey Velociraptor. We have good news for you. Behold the Aria Coachworks XPLORE Cadillac Escalade. For a modest fee, Aria will outfit your Escalade with a custom suspension, BF Goodrich all-terrain tires wrapped around aluminum wheels, a Warn winch and a special exhaust. There's even a snorkel option for those of you with aspirations toward deep water crossings. Consider yourself warned, however: unlike other GMT900 SUVs, the Cadillac only has an all-wheel drive system, not the more rugged four-wheel drive setup of the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon). Outside, the luxury SUV gets matte paint, black chrome trim, XPLORE power running boards and a roof rack system.
The interior also receives a few fun changes as well, but we're more interested in the fact that buyers can snag a power roof top tent. You know, in case you need to camp out at Best Buy for the PS4. There's also a matching camp trailer and, our personal favorite, a matching BMW GS motorcycle. Bikes not your bag of tricks? That's fine. Aria will also sell you a matched Airstream trailer or Old Town wooden canoes. As much as we want to hate this, we love the notion of bashing through the woods in a $100,000 Cadillac battlewagon with our GS in tow. Check the press release below for more information.
