No Reserve - Convertible 72 Eldo, 42k Original, Florida Car, Not 1971 1973 1974 on 2040-cars

Nice 1972 Caddy Eldo Convertible Up for Auction with NO RESERVE - Very Low Miles, One Owner, Original Title  

42k documented original miles, 500 V8. I've got a huge folder of all the service records since the car was new as well as the original Florida title from 1972 and two huge shop manuals as well as the owner's manual and all the paperwork that came with the Caddy (build sheet, list of options, etc) when it was purchased in 1972. I'm the second owner, I bought it from the original owner down in Florida and had it shipped up here last spring. It's only been up here in New York for a little over six months, she's a Florida Caddy with working air conditioning retrofitted to modern freon.

Mechanical: Many new front end parts in 2008 including axles, bearings, bushings, sway bar links, ball joints, and more. If you've had a 70's Eldorado you know how the front end wears out, considering it's a front wheel drive vehicle with a 500 V8 sitting on top of it. Caddy handles like new now, the front end is nice and tight, no wandering. New exhaust system from engine back in 2009, done right with Walker muffler and all welded pipes, Caddy runs nice and quiet. Other work over the last decade or so includes new front disc brake calipers, rotors and hoses, new radiator and alternator. The Eldo has always been immaculately maintained as seen in the included folder of service records. The only things I've done since I've had her is Monroe air shocks in the rear, KYB gas adjustable front shocks as well as a full tuneup including belts and hoses, oil change and coolant flush.

Cosmetic: The Eldo has always been in a garage so the floors, trunk, frame and body are solid. The body is very straight, no accidents ever. The Caddy wears her original paint which still shines up nicely as seen in the pix. The interior is nice, no rips on seats, power seat works, one small crack on the right side of the dash (about an inch, not visible in the pix), door panels and rear panels good, the rug has been replaced at some point. The top is good, no rips, goes up and down easily. Power windows work well. The convertible top replaced in 2000, top goes up and down easily with the push of a button, no help necessary. The windows could use new weatherstripping. The chrome bumpers and brightwork are in great shape, light fading on the top part of rear bumper. The interior is a blue/green color, it looks more blue in the pix. The boot cover is in great shape, snaps on easily.

When you look at, get into and drive this car it's clear that's she's always been treated with love and has spent her life as a "Garage Queen". She's roadworthy, all directional/brake/turn signal/headlights work, even the cool multi-color fender indicators. Engine always starts easily, even after sitting for a month or two. Cruises nicely on the highway, holds the road perfectly, 8.2 liter V8 moves this big girl easily up the highway with LOTS of power. The Caddy tracks straight as an arrow and brakes evenly, no pulling or fading. She idles perfectly and the suspension is luxurious. The Eldo is almost spotless underneath; floors and trunk completely solid, body never patched, she's never seen NY winters so she's pretty clean overall. No leaks, garage floor always dry when I take her out. Overall, drives like an American classic luxury car should. I'm selling a couple of my Caddies due to finances and I hope to find good homes for them. I had not planned on selling the Eldo as I've always loved the early 70's models for the style and the high compression 500 V8 engine, it's rated at 400 HP.

Nice classic Caddy which will only appreciate in value! Any questions feel free to call or email. 914-224-3230
