You are looking at a rare investment grade Eldorado 1 of 1600. Want to know why? Let me share with you the long and short of this vehicle. I purchased this vehicle for my father as his 60th birthday gift. I sought out a rust free car and when it comes to these cars, that is a task. I found this car in Schaumburg, IL and had it shipped to my home in Ohio. After looking at it and the months I had before his birthday I decided I wasn’t satisfied with the interior or the top. So I spent thousands replacing the carpet, mats, leather, and top. That was just the beginning. If you are considering purchasing one of these vehicles and you choose not to buy this one, I hope you have a fist full of cash! All of the money has already been spent and I have the receipts to document every penny. New carburetor, fan clutch, fan shroud, POA valve, air conditioner compressor, 4 new tires, alignment, wiper blades, battery, alternator, belts, heater core, thermostat, drive axles, AC receiver drier, master cylinder, plugs, wires. I’ve established that the interior is new, the exterior is obviously sweet. Well the underside looks just as good. More money was spent there with Por 15, which is a rust inhibitor, look it up. Included is a book full of all receipts, photographs of what has been done, a $300 custom car cover. This is not a museum piece, but it is far from a “20-footer.” It is in excellent overall condition. Number matching original car that has less than 80,000 miles on it. My dad gave the car back to me about a year ago because he doesn't drive it and only has a one car garage. It just sets in my garage under a cover. I change the oil every six months and drive it about every other month just to put a smile on my face. I am not a mechanic, but I can tell you that I know of absolutely nothing mechanically wrong with this car. Every dollar spent on it mechanically was performed by an ASE certified automotive technician. Forgetting about how rare the car is and I will get to that in a minute, do your research. The reserve on this car is well below high retail and if there was ever a car that deserved high retail, this is one. You can look at cars at fancy dealers who will put lipstick on these cars and ask for top dollar. All of the money that was spent on this car, you will probably have to spend on one if you don’t buy this one or one from somebody who has the documentation that it has already been done. As for the rarity of the car: After setting a new production record in 1970, Cadillac Division was looking forward to another good year in 1971, especially since every model in the line was completely restyled. But that was not to be. Just about the time the 1971 models were announced in late September 1970, the United Auto Workers Union went on strike. The nationwide strike hit General Motors hard and lasted three months. In mid-December, the strike was settled and the assembly lines began moving again. Only 1,600 Eldorado convertibles were built after the strike ended. Only the 1,600 Eldorado’s built after the strike had only two columns of lovers on each side across the trunk, with solid metal towards the center of the trunk. This is one of those 1,600. Original Cadillac 8 track and bug deflector, both pretty rare. Bid with confidence, this car is right. On Jul-20-14 at 15:05:08 PDT, seller added the following information: UPDATE: I BUSTED HER OUT AND GAVE HER A QUICK WASH. Actual mileage is 72704. I can tell you after a quick wash, she needs a real wash. Like buff and polish the paint wash. I am not taking that on this week! IF YOU ARE A SERIOUS BIDDER AND A HINT THE RESERVE IS A LITTLE OVER 16k AND YOU WANT TO SEE OVER 130 PICTURES OF THIS CAR, EMAIL ME I HAVE THEM ALL ON A PDF. KARLKAMPLAIN@GMAIL.COM |

Cadillac releases updated 2015 CTS
Sun, 10 Aug 2014Cadillac is in the process of applying the new wreathless emblem across its range one model at a time, but rather than simply slap the new logo on the existing models, it's taking the opportunity to roll out some revisions as well. First came the ATS coupe, followed by the updated ATS sedan, and now the flagship brand in the General Motors portfolio has quietly announced some revisions for the CTS sedan as well.
For the 2015 model year, the CTS - which was just introduced last year - gets a revised front end with that wreathless crest but also a new chrome grille with active aero elements on standard models and a black-chrome grille on the Vsport. The revised grille is flanked by new headlights, but behind them the engine lineup carries over: a 2.0-liter turbo four with 272 horsepower, a 3.6-liter V6 with 321 hp or - in the Vsport performance model - a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 with 420 hp that's still the most powerful V6 GM has ever made. All engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission (ditching the six-speed auto on previous versions) and (apart from the RWD Vsport) can be had in rear- or all-wheel-drive flavors.
Cadillac has also given the updated CTS some new electronics (including inductive smartphone charging, onboard wifi, and more advanced parking and lane assist systems) as well as new wheels, trims and color options, details on which you can read in the press release below.
Cadillac recalls ELR coupe over stability control problems
Fri, 28 Mar 2014Cadillac is recalling about 656 2014 ELR models made between September 26, 2013 and February 14, 2014, because of a fault with the electronic stability control system. On cars without adaptive cruise control, it's possible that diagnostics could prevent the system from telling the driver if ESC is on or off.
Cadillac has a software fix ready and repairs begin on April 17. Alan Adler, General Motors' recall and legal spokesperson, tells Autoblog that only about 55 of the affected cars are in the hands of owners. The rest are either on dealer lots or still at the factory. There have been no reported injuries or crashes caused by the fault.
The correction for the stability control system involves a software recalibration of the electronic brake control module that takes around 20 minutes to perform. While they use the same platform, the Chevrolet Volt isn't involved in this recall because it "uses a different a brake control module," said Adler.
Cadillac launches ATS-V, CTS-V Crystal White Frost editions
Sun, Oct 18 2015With power and performance enough to challenge the best that Europe and Japan have to offer, buyers in the luxury performance market shouldn't need much more reason to consider a new Cadillac ATS-V or CTS-V. But to make its fastest models that much more enticing, Cadillac is rolling out the new Crystal White Frost editions you see here. Available on the ATS-V coupe, ATS-V sedan, or CTS-V sedan (pictured), the new Crystal White Frost Edition models feature unique matte-finish white paint. They also get special wheels and the Carbon Fiber and Luxury packages as standard. Other equipment like Recaro buckets and microfiber-trimmed control surfaces are also available, among other options. GM's luxury division will only make 99 examples available across the three models – 39 ATS-V coupes, 31 ATS-V sedans, and 29 CTS-V sedans. So if you want to get your hands on one, you may have to act faster than these forced-induction performance machines will muscle their way around the track. Prices start at $71,460 for the smaller sedan and extend up to $94,900 for the larger one – those prices including destination but not taxes, registration, and other fees. For a full rundown of the equipment included and available, scope out the detailed press release below.
