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. |

Recharge Wrap-up: LA Auto Show may feature updated Cadillac ELR, Uber expands Chicago HQ
Tue, Sep 30 2014A Kentucky man has converted his 1939 Dodge pickup to an electric vehicle. Al Gajda of Lexington built the electric truck, which he now uses as his daily driver. "I take advantage of any excuse to drive it; just banging around town, errands, short runs on the interstate, delivering my granddaughter to school in the morning," he says. It is powered by a lithium-ion phosphate battery, which is mounted in a wooden box on the truck bed, and gets about 100 miles per charge. Read more at the Lexington Herald-Leader. Elon Musk will speak at the Automotive News World Congress in January. The Tesla CEO is a featured speaker for the program, "Setting the Pace in a Thriving Market."

Twin-turbo Cadillac CTS coming
Cars with the most reckless drivers are full of surprises
Wed, Oct 13 2021Insurify is a site for comparing auto insurance quotes. Because insurance shoppers need to submit information like the vehicles they're driving and the infractions they've compiled while driving those vehicles, Insurify has quite the database of correlations tying certain models to a habit of breaking certain laws. When the site's data analysts decided to compile a list of the top ten models for reckless driving citations in the decade from 2010 to 2019, the ranking contained a few wild entries. The Dodge Challenger making the countdown will surprise precisely zero people. But the Saturn L200? First, a definition: USLegal.com defines reckless driving as "driving with a willful or wanton disregard for safety. It is the operation of an automobile under such circumstances and in such a manner as to show a willful or reckless disregard of consequences." So this list is a caution about particular drivers more than the cars. For a baseline, according to Insurify data, for any random model, 15 out of 10,000 people who drive that model have picked up one citation for reckless driving. Back to that Challenger, then. No shocker for being here, but it's actually number 10, with 44 out of 10,000 Challenger drivers nabbed for a willful disregard of consequences on the road. That's better than the first surprise entry, the Saturn L200, a sedan only on sale for six years, with the least horsepower on the list, and out of production since 2005. The data set put drivers of GM's extraterrestrial sedan at 45 reckless pilots per 10,000 drivers. There are two pickups on the list, the only modern one being the Ram 1500 at eighth, with a rate of 46 in 10,000. Somehow, drivers of the third-best-selling pickup in the U.S. outrun the overwhelming numerical superiority of the best-selling vehicle in the States, the Ford F-150. The other pickup is the Chevrolet K1500 at number five, with a rate of 56 in 10,000. This is not only the oldest vehicle on the list, it went out of production in 2002, before any other vehicle on the list. Between the trucks, the Volkswagen CC slotted in at seven with 47 in 10,000 reckless driving chits, the Cadillac ATS slipped into sixth with 48 in 10,000. The top four is a bag of unexpected. The Nissan 370Z is the first hardcore sports car on the list at number four, with 61 in 10,000 Z drivers flaunting their Fairladys in the face of Johnny Law.
