The 1972 Cadillac Eldorado is considered by some enthusiasts as the most desirable of the 1970's line of Eldorado convertibles due to it's low production of only 6,800 models in 1972 (compared to 14,000 in the last year of 1976) and obviously due to being ridiculously fast for a car of it's size and weight with the high 365 horsepower 500 c.i. 8.2L V8 engine (only produced in the 1971-72 models and drastically reduced to only 235HP in 1973; 210HP in 1974 and 190HP in 1975-76!).
Original 91K miles! Always garaged kept since new considering it's completely rust free body with no sun or element damage whatsoever! The car has it's original factory color paint 'Patrician Covert Firemist' color paint (Code 94) with its lovely matching and original 'Dark Jade' color Sierra Grain Leather interior and with a brand new matching original beige color soft top with a plexiglass rear window. The car looks extremely striking with virtually no noticeable imperfections. The car has a brand new professionally fitted beige power soft top and headliner. The 'Dark Jade' color leather interior seats do have some age cracks in them as this was my Grandfathers vehicle, and he did not want to do a thing to it. The car has its original matching color carpeting and dashboard which are also in gorgeous all original shape with no wear or discoloration in the carpet and no cracks or blemishes in the dash! The vehicle comes with two Parade covers that will cover the convertible top when down, one is light beige same as the top, and the other is Sierra which is the same color as the interior.
All the car's options are working including all the power windows, the power soft top, lighters, cruise control. The original engine with 92K original miles is extremely strong and powerful and this particular car drives absolutely magnificently - must be driven to be appreciated and seen to be believed - drives straight as an arrow with no strange road wobbles, shakes or rattles!
The car has a recent new fuel pump, air cleaner, spark plugs, electronic ignition, front rotors, and pads, and calipers vacuum advance unit, passenger door lock actuator, right and left brake hoses, P/S high pressure hose, new Holly 750 carburetor, front wheel bearings and left & right outer CV boot, new upper and lower ball joints, new P235/75R15 tires, battery, shocks, (Stock Radio is in the dash, works, just needs a fuse, as my cousin installed a new radio in the glove box, 500 watt amp, with JDM speakers mounted in the trunk with speakers.
This is a rare opportunity to own an unabused example of an obviously always garaged kept desirable 1972 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible in this highly striking color combination with only some 92K original miles and no signs of any rust or accidents. This must therefore be considered a very rare example of this most desirable 1972 year of production of this decades last mass produced drop-top and a great investment that's sure to appreciate over the years for any American classic car collector of obviously any Cadillac enthusiast!
Note I took close up photos of the rocker panels as to show that there is absolutely no rust on this vehicle. This is the ultimate head turner. The car still has all of the original factory tags still under the hood, door jams, and on the frame.
You are not going to find a cleaner, better runner, three owner 1972 drop top then this one right here.

Next-gen Cadillac CTS-Vs caught in parking lot
Thu, 10 Jan 2013A pair of camouflaged Cadillac CTS prototypes were spotted, and thankfully photographed, outside a grocery store in Southern California. From the image above - there are plenty more if you click over to TotalCarScore.com - it appears these could be testers for the 2014 CTS-V, but that is just speculation. We've seen the obvious "V" motif in the grille before, and there's what could be another "V" in the design of the side mirrors.
The hood on the car in the background appears to include two bulges, but the single shot that affords a tiny peek under the hood shows reveals only the airbox. Plenty of rumors, and the sight of an engine cover inscribed with the words "Twin Turbo," have caused people to wonder if a twin-turbo V6 will live under the production car's hood instead of the V8 currently there. In back, instead of the round tailpipes found outboard on all the CTS sedans, there's a pair of integrated tips in a parallelogram shape. A new shifter with contrasting stitching was spied in the cabin.
If predictions hold up it will arrive later this year. When it does, expect the body underneath all that camo to be softer on the eye compared to the current car - less science and more art. For now, hit the link to see more spy shots of what's coming.
Cadillac is returning to endurance racing with a new prototype in 2017
Wed, Nov 30 2016In two months, Cadillac will return to top-tier endurance racing with its all-new Daytona Prototype International racecar after 14 years away. The car, which adheres to IMSA's new DPi regulations, looks as long, low, and Cadillac-like as anyone could have hoped. It's set to debut at the Rolex 24 at Daytona and will compete head to head with the likes of Mazda and Nissan in what is shaping up to be one of the most diverse and exciting forms of American motor racing in years. The new car will be run by Wayne Taylor Racing, the team that previously fielded the Corvette Daytona Prototype. Wayne Taylor himself has won the 24 Hours of Daytona twice, in 1996 and 2005. He now manages the team and leaves the driving duties to his two sons, Ricky and Jordan. They'll be joined in the cockpit by Max Angelelli, Wayne Taylor's teammate in 2002 at Cadillac's last unsuccessful attempt at endurance racing. To understand Cadillac's new car, officially called the DPi-V.R., you need to understand IMSA's DPi category. Basically, manufacturers are allowed to base their car on one of four chassis that follow the FIA LMP2 regulations. The chassis come from either Dallara, Onroak Automotive, ORECA or Riley/Multimatic. Cadillac will base their car on the Dallara platform. The DPi regulation differ from the LMP2 in two major ways: non-standardized engines and the ability to change certain parts of the bodywork. The DPi regulations are intended to give the variety of the top-tier LMP1 cars at a fraction of the cost. When it came to choosing an engine, Cadillac wanted to power the new car with something kinda sorta production based. The new car will use a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter pushrod V8 that shares some base architecture with the engine in the current CTS-V. While the power output hasn't been announced, expect about 600 horsepower. While that's down compared to the CTS-V, there is far less mass to move around as the Dallara chassis is a svelte 2,050 lbs. Since all the teams will be running different engine configurations, expect restrictors of some sort to help balance the power disparity. The parts of the body work that can be modified - The nose, sidepods, rear wheel arches and rear valance - have all been designed to mimic Cadillac roadcar design elements. Even the wheels look like they were pulled straight from the CTS-V. The front splitter, the floor, and the diffuser are common elements shared with other DPi cars.
