This is classic style long hood, big V8, Red on Red, Red on Red,1975 Cadillac Eldorado! This car has been driven daily at times, and even in the cold Mid Atlantic winter starts just fine. The car was stored inside until recently and dealer maintained by the previous owner. I have had the car about 6 months. I have changed the oil and filter once. This is a wonderful driving car with low mileage. You can drive the car and work on cosmetics. There are a few small rust spots around the rear window where the vinyl top meets the sheet metal above the trunk lid. I have never seen an unrestored 70's Cadillac that didn’t have this problem. These spots need to be sanded, and coated with primer. Unfortunately or fortunately the paint itself isn’t bad however there are some fixes that need to be made and the car should painted. If you can do the color matching and prep work or can get it done reasonably this is an easy light restoration while you drive it project car. If you don’t want to do much work you can sand and primer the areas that need preventative care and drive the car, or just drive the car and don’t worry about it. It’s a beautiful full-size Red Cadillac. Probably most important on these cars is the heat and AC works including the switching from heat to defrost to AC. My Caddy blows warm air in the winter and the AC comes on and blows in the summer. The AC needs to be converted to R134 and charged. Lastly, there is a noticeable scratch behind the passenger door. The car is for sale locally for $4800.00 and on other sites also. I have replaced the radiator with a good aluminum one and the water pump which will ensure good summer cooling while running the AC. I planned to keep this Eldorado except: I have health issues that are not going away, I have six car projects that I will not finish due to health, and being a disabled now my income is fixed at a young age, and my wife is dead in my rear to clear cars out! I really want to get this car to someone who wants to enjoy it.

It's going to cost $12 billion to fix Cadillac

Wed, Apr 1 2015

The Cadillac CT6's development predates Johan de Nysschen taking over at Cadillac, but the forthcoming flagship is the luxury brand's first major new product launch since the beginning of his tenure. The vehicle's debut also marks the beginning of a comprehensive $12 billion renewal plan bringing eight new vehicles in the next five years. Now, the former Audi and Infiniti exec is talking about joining Caddy and the company's future. "Cadillac will be a powerhouse global luxury brand that will command the respect of its peers," de Nysschen said about the forecast state of the company in 2020 to Bloomberg. He disclosed that three of those new vehicles under the five-year plan would be crossovers and reiterated that plug-in hybrids are on the way that would take advantage of the Chevrolet Volt's tech advances. De Nysschen also reminisced about joining Cadillac last year. He told Bloomberg that leaving Infiniti wasn't an easy decision, and there were apparently long conversations on the phone with General Motors President Dan Ammann discussing strategy for the luxury brand. De Nysschen was apparently clear that a greater investment and more autonomy from the corporate mother ship were vital. These days, the revitalization of Cadillac is just getting rolling. The company has a swanky New York office with a dedicated team to focus on the future. According to de Nysschen, the brand will grow its staff to around 150 people by the end of the year, compared to over 40 now. The marketing plan is to position the American luxury brand as a more distinctive product versus more common German rivals. It's going to be very interesting to see if this new Caddy can dare greatly enough to accomplish these lofty goals.

Jeff Gordon will come out of retirement to race new Cadillac endurance racecar

Thu, Dec 1 2016

Jeff Gordon is not a man who takes well to retirement, apparently. That's not a surprise at all, given that we've been talking about his return to racing since almost the minute he retired in the first place. This year, he's taken the wheel for Dale Earnhardt, Jr., who is recovering from a concussion, several times already. So we shouldn't be too surprised to find out he's officially coming out of retirement – the twist is that it won't be in a stock car. Gordon has signed onto Wayne Taylor Racing, Motorsport.com reports, and he'll join Ricky and Jordan Taylor as well as Max Angelelli. Their ride will be the newly-revealed Cadillac DPi-V.R racer, a Dallara-chassis car powered by a 6.2-liter pushrod V8 loosely related, Cadillac claims, to the engine in the current CTS-V. You can read all about the DPi-V.R right over here. Remember, Gordon has a total of 93 NASCAR wins to his name, as well as four titles. He knows his way around Daytona pretty well, too, having won the 500 three times. He's also dabbled in endurance racing once before, in the 2007 24 Hours of Daytona with Taylor, Angelelli and Jan Magnussen in a WTR Riley-Pontiac car. They ended up on the podium, so you can say Gordon's inaugural and only outing in endurance racing so far was a success. It's been a decade, so we'll see if he's rusty, although knowing about how competitive champions are, we think he'll blow out the cobwebs and get right down to work. You can read Gordon's statement over at his personal site. Related Video:
