Here is a great opportunity to own an American classic! This is a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado Hardtop. First year for this new and highly acclaimed model design. Just rebuilt engine with less than 100 miles on it. Have all receipts for parts and machine work (over 2K). Block was machined, new maximum torque specialities cam, valve job done, master rebuild kit installed, new oil pump, new fuel pump and fuel lines from gas tank to engine, gas tank dropped and cleaned, new fuel sending unit installed, fuel gauge does not work though, new temperature sensor, new vacumn hoses, radiator removed, hot tanked, roded and resoldered and pressure checked, new radiator cap, new overflow, new passanger side power window motor, new battery, new carpet, exhaust repaired and new seals/gaskets installed, two new tires installed in front.  Since the engine has been replaced, I entered 0000 as the mileage in this listing.  If you want to know the mileage on the odometer (which is not the miles on the engine) let me know

Front end has been aligned.  Transmission serviced and filter replaced.

 

Included with the car are the following new items that have not been installed: 

weatherstrip - new rear quarter window seals, roof rails, door seals

I have other parts and will add an addendum later this week.  However, there is a spare instrument cluster, compressor tank for the air cushion ride and A/C compressor.  Also, I have a 1 pound can of R12 and the a/c tools to recharge that are included.  I have not tried to test the cruise control.

The chrome on the car is very very nice original condition.  The body is very straight, there are some small old repairs on the roof side panels of some sort and the roof was repainted to protect from elements as the old vinyl roof appears to have been removed a long time ago.  Glass seems to be good. two small scratches on a side window.  No chips seen.  The body appears to be in very good overall condition, there is however some surface rust in the trunk.  Photos will be posted to show it.  The floor pans also had rust at some point and the previous owner put in new heavy duty custom floor pans. 

The car has the original jack, full size spare, mag style hubcaps (factory) factory strato seats.  Also the shop manual, body manual and Cadillac Eldorado collector car book are included too.  I will be posting some more pictures this weekend. There is the original 8 track tape unit too.. 

I have driven the car the 100 miles consisting of short trips.  It drove good.  But as I have had this car in my garage for about 4 years, I would not recommend driving it a long distance without getting the rear tires replaced.  You will notice that the engine is 472 cid vs the 425 cid .  The 472 block is much better with many improved designs for water flow in the engine, reduction of vibration from a/c and other improvements.  The block was a 1968 Cadillac Eldorado block. The car will need a new paint job.

GM faces possible class action lawsuit over 8-speed transmission

Thu, Apr 25 2019

General Motors has been hit with a class-action lawsuit from owners who allege the eight-speed automatic transmission found in several rear-wheel-drive Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC models between the 2015 and 2019 model years has a defect that causes the vehicles to hesitate and jerk when accelerating or slowing down. The lawsuit was posted to ClassAction.org and spotted by GM Authority. Problems with GM's Hydra-Matic 8L90 and 8L45 transmissions have been well-documented on Internet forums and via complaints filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with many reporting damage to their vehicles. The lawsuit was first filed in December in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida but appears to have been transferred recently to New York. Autoblog sought comment from Theodore Leopold, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs. "These transmissions have a common defect," the complaint reads. "Drivers attempting to accelerate or decelerate their cars feel a hesitation, followed by a significant shake, shudder, jerk, clunk, or 'hard shift' when the vehicle's automatic transmission changes gears." The problem also occurs when the vehicles accelerate in a single gear, without shifting, the plaintiffs allege. "Drivers have reported that the shift is sometimes so violent, they feel as though they have been hit by another vehicle." The problem is believed to center on the transmission, torque converter or both. The complaint says it causes undue friction, causing hydraulic systems and gears to function improperly and sometimes leaves metal shavings throughout the transmission, leading to costly repairs and replacement of parts or the entire transmission. It says GM has known about the problems since shortly after it introduced the transmissions, and has issued 13 technical service bulletins, none of which have resolved the problem. GM declined to comment on the lawsuit. The plaintiffs say GM should have warned consumers about the issues and covered repairs under each vehicle's three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. They're seeking statewide classes in at least six states: California, Florida, Illinois, New York, Oklahoma and Texas.

GM struggles to sell small cars, plans to lay off 2,084 employees at two plants

Thu, Nov 10 2016

Due to low demand for some of its vehicles, General Motors plans to cut 2,084 jobs at its assembly plants in Lordstown, OH and Lansing, MI. At the same time, the automaker also announced plans to invest approximately $900 million in three of its facilities – the Toledo Transmission Operations in Ohio, Bedford Casting Operations in Indiana, and Lansing Grand River in Michigan - for future products. GM will discontinue the third shift at both the Lansing Grand River plant and the Lordstown, OH plant. The Cadillac ATS, Cadillac CTS, and Chevrolet Camaro are made at the automaker's plant in Michigan, which currently has 2,700 employees. The move to eliminate the third shift affects 810 hourly workers, as well as 29 salaried employees, starting on January 16th. The plant in Lordstown, OH currently has 4,500 employees and makes the Chevrolet Cruze sedan. The plan to discontinue the third shift will affect 43 salaried workers and 1,202 hourly employees and will start on January 23rd. As Fortune points out, sales of the Cruze are down 20 percent through October, while sales of the Cadillac ATS and CTS were down 17 percent through the same period of time. In addition to cutting the third shift at both assembly plants, the automaker plans to invest a total of $900 million between three of its facilities for unnamed future products. GM's Toledo Transmission Operations will receive $667.6 million, the Lansing Grand River Assembly plant will receive $211 million, and the automaker's Bedford Casting Operations will get $37 million. Last year, GM cut roughly 500 jobs from its Orion Township factory due to slow sales of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, with surging crossover and SUV sales as the most likely culprit. With GM posting much healthier sales figures for the Chevrolet Equinox and Cadillac XT5 compared to the ATS, CTS, and Cruze, it looks like compact SUVs are to blame for this year's layoffs as well.

Cadillac rushing update for laggy CUE infotainment system

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

BMW's innovative iDrive was introduced in 2001, and a dozen years later, automakers are still learning hard lessons about what consumers want in their infotainment systems. In response to owner feedback - and a few media drubbings - about the delayed and occasionally fickle responses of its CUE (short for Cadillac User Experience) system, Cadillac has told Wired that it's going to issue an update this year.
Coming for the XTS and ATS, the new software will mean quicker haptic feedback to driver inputs on the touchscreen and the buttons, and snappier responses on screen. Down the road, Cadillac's VP of marketing says that a different mix of screen controls and hard buttons is "something you'll be seeing in the future" - the system is presently a mix of touchscreen-based controls and capacitive-touch switchgear - there are no knobs or physical pushbuttons to speak of, and the omission of both has proven to be a divisive issue among consumers and industry pundits.
Cadillac hasn't provided a date for when the CUE update will be issued, but it has indicated that the service will be performed by dealers, not sent wirelessly.
