Here it is.....Big American Iron Offered at NO RESERVE !!!


I'm starting it off with the price the same year as the car, $1971.


1971 Cadillac Eldorado currently with 79,987 actual miles. The title shows 70,613 actual miles on 11/28/2003

It started to rain just as I took the pictures.  I moved indoors and finished.  Please excuse the raindrops!

I'm guessing it will sell for a little over $1 a pound, but time will tell. At the end of the auction, the winning bidder will be the new owner.

Offered at "NO RESERVE" is a big and long piece of American history.  This is
the first year of this body style and first year for fender skirts.  One of 6800
made, and you can be the proud owner if you're the high bidder.  Advertised at
almost 5000 pounds and just under 20 feet long, it has a 8.2 liter/500 cubic
inch engine rated at 365 horsepower and 535 ft. pounds of torque. 

 It was almost $8000 42 years ago...very
expensive for the day.

The car was originally Adriatic Turquoise Metallic with Carmine interior.

I know--- blue with a red interior sounds strange, but it was the 70's.  Anything was possible! I see why someone painted it red.

Speaking of that, Someone should paint it again. It looks better in photos than real life.

 Whether you go back to it's original color, or do the red again, it's time for another respray

This Cadillac was driven regularly, just not very far, up until last year.  It 
   was parked due to having a bad water pump, and sat for a little over a year. 

I put a new one on, and it starts well, runs great without any weird noises, and would be a
great cruiser for people who love the big drop top land yachts of the 70's.

The good:  Low mileage, great running engine and smooth shifting transmission,
working power windows and power top, and a solid body that is well worth
restoring.  The top is good, and the glass back window is in place and doesn't leak. 

 It has a new stereo that sounds amazingly well, the lights and wipers work, and the trunk light works.

It has tilt/telescopic wheel, and it's 2 1/2 tons of
awesomeness. The original stereo is in the trunk.  I'm unsure if it works.

The bad:  The interior has the normal leather cracks, but not all ripped up. 
The door panels and dash are more than presentable, and the carpet and floor
mats are good. 

It's missing a right front bumper guard and the AC compressor and hoses.  Everything else is there.

 The paint is decent, with the trunk lid being the worst.  There
is a little rust on the bottom of the right rear quarter panel behind the rear
wheel, and a little behind the left rear wheel.

  Generally speaking, there's a lot of steel there that is excellent.

It needs to be driven.  Sitting didn't do it any good.  It starts easily and idles well. The brakes are a little
sticky, but I'm sure they will free up with some use.  It's not registered, so I
just drive it around the block.  I do have a clean, clear Florida title, ready
to be handed over to the winning bidder. 

PLEASE...ask questions, look at the pictures, get permission from whomever you
need, and bid to win.  I reserve the right to end the auction early in the event
someone makes me an offer I can't refuse.  I don't know what that number is, so
if you're a serious buyer, make your offer and let's see what happens.

The car is located in Port Charlotte, Florida, about 90 miles south of Tampa.  I
can assist with shipping if you need help, but the transporation cost is on the
buyer.

Thu, Jan 17 2019

The 2019 North American International Auto Show might have been a little more quiet than past years, but there were still some pretty major reveals, including the Toyota Supra, new Ford Explorer, Shelby GT500, Subaru WRX STI S209 and Kia Telluride. We also saw some lovely concepts like the Nissan IMs and Lexus LC Convertible. Senior Editor Alex Kierstein, Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski and Senior Green Editor John Beltz Snyder join me, Associate Editor Reese Counts — with Social Media Manager Michael Dylan Ferrara behind the camera — on a long walk through the show. We discuss cars, poke around the stands, dress a bloody wound and answer your questions in the Facebook comments. For more Detroit coverage, you can check out Autoblog's picks for the best in show, listen to our podcast or look at the best images from all the reveals. Finally, don't forget to watch Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore hand over our 2019 Technology of the Year award.

2014 Cadillac CTS images leak from somewhere

Sun, 24 Mar 2013

The redesigned 2014 Cadillac CTS will be unveiled this Tuesday on the eve of the New York Auto Show, but as often happens, some images of the car have leaked onto the web a few days early. Previously, the only information we had on the 2014 CTS concerned the all-new twin-turbo V6 engine that will be found underhood, rated at 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
While none show the new car in its entirety, the images do show much of the front end, particularly the headlights that feature vertical bars of LEDs that start down low as foglights and continue up to the top of the front fenders. They're similar to the lighting design first shown on the XTS and ATS, except the lower portions are much taller.
There are also views of the rear end and one of the taillights, as well as an interior shot of the front passenger door. The latter image has us most intrigued, as it shows some very high end materials being used in the new CTS interior. The low-gloss wood trim, in particular, looks very premium.

Here's what else you could buy for the average new-car price of $40,573

Fri, Jan 22 2021

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. The average price of a new car in America hit a new record in December 2020: $40,573. Not that we're surprised — the average has been over $35,000 for the past few years — but seeing that baseline figure crest 40 large is still a sticker-shock to the system. So, as we do every once in a while, we put our collective heads together and came up with a list of alternatives that you could choose to buy for that sum, new or old, classic or practical. Now, let's be crystal clear about one thing here. We're not actually recommending you make this type of decision. That said, we wouldn't blame you if you did. Managing Editor Greg Rasa: $40,000 will buy a fully loaded Camry or moderately equipped crossover. Or, for $39,997, to be exact, one could go motoring in a fine British automobile. This 2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante in Alabama has 21,452 miles on it, and depreciation has worked its cruel magic: It is listed for less than one-quarter of its $168,000 starting MSRP when it was new. A check of other used DB9s nationwide indicates this is a fair price. This Aston's CarFax reveals two owners. (One, really, as the second was a dealership. Looks like it got traded in for a Porsche.) If you're understandably concerned about reliability, its service history indicates no surprises to date. Remember, it has a 450-horsepower 5.9-liter V12. And spring is coming. Of course a used Aston Martin is riskier than a new Camry. But as Louis Prima sang, "Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think." What price beauty? Less than $40 grand. Associate Editor Byron Hurd: This price point opens up a ton of options in the "nearly new" luxury space, including a few good enthusiast picks, but my nod here goes to the Cadillac ATS-V. The discontinued, M3/M4-rivaling, 465-horsepower sport sedan and coupe can be had all day long in this price range with low miles. In fact, the real challenge is finding one in the spec you want, since it's one of those old-fashioned cars that actually presented the buyer with choices. Here's a clean, six-speed sedan in an actual color for less than our target price, for example. Coupes are more plentiful than sedans, especially in interesting colors, but there are plenty of them out there.
