1972 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible.
New Tires, recent dual exhaust(sounds sweet). New passenger side CV Shaft.
This is a car I only know about the past 12 years of history of. This was a friend of mines who loved this car. He took the wheels off every winter and either covered it or put it in his garage. It was his weekend cruiser. He took good maintenance care of this car. Getting what it needed, when it needed it. A few years ago I towed it when the CV shaft broke. At that point he took the top motor out to replace or have it rebuilt and was going to go through it and do some of the little things that bothered him. It never got there. He recently sold his house and I moved a bunch of items for him and bought the balance.
I put the shaft in the front. I wired up the choke so it wouldn't load up while driving. It starts hard due to this. Its the original carb, and everything under the hood is original and intact. I did not want to do anything to change that at this point. The car runs really nice once warmed up and sounds pretty mean. I have only taken this short cruises and one good run on the interstate to make sure it was solid and smooth. I would not hesitate to drive this car just about anywhere, other then the gas mileage is like one of my tow trucks.
Car could use a cleaning. I have not made any attempt to clean or cover anything up. It will clean up very nice. I believe the interior to be all original, including carpet which is in great shape. Seats have some stains that should come out. One being when I stepped on the back seat when disconnecting the top arms to make it easy to raise and lower manually.
Paint is a 50 mph paint job that is pealing in places.( check last pic on passenger rear quarter.) It was painted years ago and looks like it was a brownish color originally. Its a nice car that gets many compliments around town. Its not a show car, but a very affordable classic, going on antique, driver. The right person could easily take it to the next level or better. No rot on the car. Solid everywhere.
Delivery is available. I would be willing to drive it just about anywhere for a fee. But It would be cheaper to fly in to (BTV) Burlington International Airport, and drive out. Airport is 15 minutes from my shop.
Very important. Vermont does not issue titles for vehicles 15 years or older. This means I can't get one. At all. Most states will allow you to purchase if you get a temp reg from DMV. I cannot do this for you, due to needing an out of state ID to prove the plate is being used for in transit. Check your local DMV. Some will work with just a Bill of Sale.
Please keep in mind this car is 40 years old. Please ask questions, Call Anytime Towing 802-878-8467 anytime day or night. I try to describe the items the best I can. I may be missing something. So asking questions helps.
I am starting this auction at $2000 with a no reserve. So if you bid, its sold. High bidder takes it. I would only end auction early if I felt there was something wrong with the vehicle. So bid with confidence.
I will work on better pictures. I am having some tech problems and I am not a computer person. So these were done with a crappy phone, I apologize.
I was required to put something in the title line. There is no title.

Consumer Reports loves the 2014 Cadillac CTS
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Our first drive of the 2014 Cadillac CTS was just published today... we really liked the Vsport version. And Consumer Reports has some even stronger words of praise for the all-new luxury sedan. We already knew that Cadillac had stepped up its game with the third-gen CTS, but CR bluntly states that the sedan drives better than its German luxury counterparts.
While CR shows plenty of love for the new CTS, the outlet still takes issue with some of the in-car technology including the CUE infotainment system - no surprise there. The testers' offer all manner of positive comments where the impressive handling capabilities of the sedan are concerned, with lots of drifting around CR's private test facility in evidence to bear them out. Scroll down to watch the CTS get put through its paces.
Cadillac back on track with 600-hp ATS-V.R racer in FIA GT3 spec [w/video]
Fri, 14 Nov 2014There was already a rumor brewing that Cadillac might eschew the CTS as its racecar next season in favor of the ATS Coupe. It turns out that is absolutely the case, and now we know just what this 600-horsepower, future racer looks like. The coupe might not be limited to competing in just the US, though, because it's built to FIA GT3-specifications, meaning that this Caddy is also eligible to race in over 30 series worldwide against the likes of Bentley, McLaren, Audi and other premium brands.
The heart of this massively winged Cadillac is an engine dubbed the LF4.R. It's based around the unit in the production ATS-V and CTS Vsport but with larger turbos, bigger intercoolers, side exhausts and other tricks. Cadillac claims it makes a monstrous 600 hp and 520 pound-feet of torque in unrestricted form.
As the photo above shows, the ATS-V.R also wears an aggressive aero kit with a carbon fiber front splitter, and a wing at the back that could probably double as a picnic table in a pinch. The dry weight of the whole package is quoted at about 2,900 pounds, which is around 700 pounds less than the street version.
2020 Lincoln Corsair vs 2020 Cadillac XT4 | How they compare on paper
Thu, Apr 18 2019The 2020 Lincoln Corsair compact crossover was introduced this year to replace the aging MKC. Our first impressions are that it's a thoroughly competent luxury machine, but where it fits in the market is interesting. Given its size and price tag, the Corsair basically slots in-between compact segments, with vehicles like the Audi Q3 below and Audi Q5 above. It's a distinctive position to be in, but not a unique one, as there's another comparably sized and priced SUV -- and an American rival, no less. The Cadillac XT4 was launched just last year to be its company's smallest crossover, boasting compelling design and ample technology features. So which is better? To give you some idea, let's take a look at each vehicle's horsepower, torque, fuel economy, space, pricing and some slightly more subjective aspects about their luxuriousness and feature sets. You'll find all the nitty gritty numbers below, followed by more detailed analysis. And if you'd like to compare other luxury crossovers, be sure to check out our comparison tool. Engines, drivetrains and driving impressions Both the Corsair and XT4 come standard with turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines, but the Corsair's is more potent with 250 horsepower and 275 pound-feet compared with the 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of the Cadillac. And to seal the deal, the Corsair has an optional turbo 2.3-liter engine with 280 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. That's not only vastly better than the Cadillac, but one of the most powerful outputs in the compact luxury SUV segment. Both vehicles have standard front-wheel drive with optional all-wheel drive on the base engines. The 2.3-liter Corsair has all-wheel drive standard. The Cadillac does boast an extra cog in its transmission over the Corsair's eight-speed automatic, but there's not necessarily an advantage or disadvantage to be gleaned from that. When it coes to fuel economy, the Cadillac is victorious with a 26 mpg combined rating for the front-drive model, with the front-drive 2.0-liter Corsair coming just behind with 25 mpg combined. It's a three-way tie for third with the all-wheel-drive XT4, all-wheel-drive 2.0-liter Corsair and 2.3-liter Corsair all returning 24 mpg combined. Of course, the all-wheel-drive Corsairs have a small advantage here in that it delivers more power and torque than the Cadillac with the same fuel economy.
