1967 Cadillac Eldorado - Baroque Gold W/black Original Interior **no Reserve** on 2040-cars
Plano, Texas, United States
|
THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION!
I purchased this car from a seller here on eBay in September 2013, just a few short months ago. We had just returned from the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit, MI and I decided that it was time for a new weekend cruiser/ hobby car and I've always loved the body lines of the 1967 Cadillac Eldorado so I got this one. When I received the car it needed quite a few small repairs to get it on the road - new brake switch, fuse box work, turn signals, new bulbs, Unfortunately, my time is more limited that I thought it would be and I don't even get to take her out of the garage much, so I've decided to let her go. All in all, this is a very nice car! She is an head-turner every where we go and she is always ready for a nice easy cruise. The car runs and drives, handles pretty well, but as it is a 47 year old car, I'm sure that a lot can be improved on with a little time and effort - things like the drum brakes, suspension, etc. Before I get into the list of what's wrong, note that I've only owned her for less than 5 months (most of which were winter) and I've actually only driven her a handful of times for a grand total of less that 40 miles. Most of our trips have been up and down the street, cruising the neighborhood with the kids, or driving to a gathering of classic cars. Accessories and Options: Cruise Control (untested), remote drivers mirror (has crack), Power locks (work), power windows (work), Tilt steering wheel, map light on dash (works), 5 person lap seatbelts (all work). Engine: Runs fine. Starts up every time and runs strong. I do occasionally find an oil spot on the ground, but I think that's just surface grime dripping off of the hot engine. Transmission: Strong, easy shifts, great. Body: Very straight. I believe she was repainted at some point the original color - Baroque Gold. I believe the top is relatively new as well. Mouldings: All of the original mouldings and trim pieces are there. Again, I was told by the previous owner that they are all original. Wheels and Tires: original hubcaps and tires are in good condition with plenty of tread. Interior: The interior looks all original and is very good for 47 years old. The seats are tear free and the carpet, while stained a little, only has one tear near the drivers pedals. The dash is cracked (as seen in the pictures). Some surface rust on some of the metal parts. The dash could use some work - noted in electrical. Electrical: Headlights, taillights, brake lights, corner markers, interior map light and courtesy lights on lower dash all work perfectly. Turn signals work but the lever doesn't "click", so you have to hold it in the direction that you are turning to get it to flash (I purchased the kit to fix this, but just can't find the time - it will be included). A few interior lights don't work - not sure if it is switches or bulbs. Dash doesn't light. Speedometer cable clicks - needs to be replaced. I have a replacement Speedometer face/Odometer cluster that I purchased to replace the original with, but just haven't had the time - it will be included in the sale. Steering wheel and horn work, one pad screw is broken. Vacuum: The headlight doors open when you turn on the lights, but when you turn them off, they don't close automatically. I believe this is a vacuum leak, not sure. Documentation: Car still has the California title from previous owner. Not yet registered in Texas. The car comes with the original manuals and case in the glove compartment. Air Conditioning: Factory air is present and works, but doesn't blow cold. Beyond that, please look at the pictures. This car is a beauty and I only wish I had the ability to keep her and fix the little things needed to make her perfect. If you have any other specific questions, please contact me and I will answer them, provide more pics, whatever you require. Shipping is by the buyer. The down payment is due within 24 hours of auction end. If you can't buy the car, PLEASE don't bid on her! THIS USED CAR CARRIES NO WARRANTY and is sold AS IS WHERE IS! Thanks for looking and good luck! ************* LISTING REVISIONS AND ADDITIONS ********************** - Added the Body Plate photo per request - Added the car color name - "Baroque Gold" - Added the VIN number to the listing - Answered 3 questions from watchers - Added Air Conditioning info to listing |

2015 Cadillac ATS-V gunning for the BMW M3
Mon, 03 Jun 2013Spy photographers have spotted something interesting. Cadillac engineers have taken to public streets with the upcoming ATS-V and a playmate: the current BMW M3 Sedan. The prototype seen here wears a more aggressive front fascia, flared fenders and beefy brakes. Quad exhaust tips and what looks to be a small lip spoiler on the trunk deck sum up the most obvious visual changes over the standard ATS outside. Word has it the ATS-V will bow with the same twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 available in the nose of the XTS. In that application, the engine is good for a stout 410 horsepower, which should be more than enough to hustle the sedan around a track.
Other details are still murky, however. First and foremost: will GM offer the ATS-V with an honest manual transmission, like it does with its big brother, the CTS-V? Something tells us we won't have long to wait to find out - the machine will likely bow next year as a 2015 model. Until then, dig in on our newest bevy of spy photos.
GM, Pilot will build EVgo fast chargers at 500 truck stops across U.S.
Thu, Jul 14 2022All of our maps showing electric vehicle charging stations across the U.S. are going to need an update. Today, General Motors, Pilot and EVgo announced plans to work together on a nationwide DC fast charging network. The plan calls for 2,000 charging stalls that can deliver up to 350 kW to be installed at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J travel centers in the U.S. The goal is to have DC fast chargers available in 50-mile intervals across the country. The new charging stations will feature GM's "Ultium Charge 360" branding and "Pilot Flying J" logos but will not be limited to drivers of GM EVs. The plugs will use CCS connectors and be available to anyone. GM EV owners can take advantage of benefits, including the ability to make exclusive reservations, get discounts on charging costs and streamline the charging process with Plug and Charge and in-vehicle apps that can provide real-time charger availability. The first installation phase will take place in 2023, and "the bulk of the installations" should be completed by 2025, EVgo CEO Kathy Zoi said during a conference call with reporters announcing the plan. "We're gonna get going immediately and commence all of that engineering and planning stuff," she said. "We've got a pretty orderly plan." Pilot CEO Shameek Konar said the company expects the new EV charging stations to coexist with the current fuel infrastructure. "An average Pilot Flying J location is about 10 acres," Konar said. "This will be in addition to all of our gas pumps. The way I think about it is, this is a new source of energy that is going to coexist with gas for quite some time. We can debate how long, but we need to serve both groups of customers." Installing DC fast chargers at hundreds of Pilot's travel centers — aka truck stops — means there should be food, drinks, restrooms, WiFi and even showers available while you wait for an EV to charge. Pilot recently announced its “New Horizons” plan that will invest $1 billion in upgrading Pilot travel centers with more premium amenities, including expanded seating and lounge areas. While the exact amount of time it will take to charge an EV using these new stations will vary on the EV and its current state of charge, most EVs can refill from a low state of charge to around 80 percent in 20-30 minutes on a fast charger. The new stations are future-proofed to deliver up to 350 kW, a charge rate that few EVs today can handle.
Weekly Recap: New bosses try to jump-start Cadillac and Lincoln
Sat, 26 Jul 2014
Both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
It's ironic that Cadillac and Lincoln got new bosses within days of each other this month. It's also a commentary on the fact both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
