1976 Cadillac Eldorado Base Convertible 2-door 8.2l on 2040-cars
Cheswick, Pennsylvania, United States
1976 CADILLAC ELDORADO CONVERTIBLE "....LAST OF THE GREAT CONVERTIBLES...." THIS CAR IS A SURVIVOR, WITH ONLY +-26,000 MILES IT WAS OBVIOUSLY LOVED BY ITS PREVIOUS OWNERS. TOP FUNCTIONS GREAT, ALL POWER WINDOWS WORK. RADIO AND EIGHT TRACK PLAYER WORK WELL (SMALL COLLECTION OF 8 TRACK TAPES INCLUDED). DRIVES PRETTY MUCH AS NEW, FLOATS DOWN THE ROAD AND WANDERS JUST LIKE YOU WOULD EXPECT A CAR OF THIS ERA TO DO. POWER TRUNK PULL DOWN AND REMOTE RELEASE WORK PERFECTLY. ALL GLASS IS GOOD. CHROME IS SHINY, AND TIRES ARE ABOUT 75%. INTERIOR AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES IS PRETTY MUCH PERFECT, NEEDS MINOR CLEANING BUT OTHERWISE AS NEW. CAR HAS BOTH HARD AND SOFT BOOT. WHEEL COVERS ORIGINAL. BRAKES ABOVE 60%, DISC BRAKES FRONT AND REAR. ENGINE RUNS GREAT, WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THE CADILLAC DEALER HAD JUST REPLACED THE QUADRA-JET CARB. NO LEAKS EVIDENT ANYWHERE. CAR WAS UNDERCOATED WHEN NEW AND STILL MAINTAINS ALL OF THE PRODUCT WHICH IN RETURN HAS PRESERVED THE UNDERSIDE FROM THE ELEMENTS. NEWER LOOKING EXHAUST (UNSURE OF WHEN OR IF REPLACED). POWER SEATS WORK LIKE NEW. DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANELS ARE DAMAGE FREE AS ARE THE SEATS. ALL LIGHTS WORK INCLUDING TWILIGHT SENTINEL AND AUTO DIMMING BRIGHT HEADLAMPS. OF COURSE THIS CAR IS ALMOST 40 YEARS OLD, SOME THINGS COULD USE A LITTLE HELP. THE RADIO ANTENNA WORKS, BUT IS JUST BEGINNING TO NOT RETRACT ALL THE WAY. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO WORK, NOT SURE IF IT IS SWITCH OR MISTAKE WHEN NEW CARB WAS INSTALLED. A/C BLOWS BUT IS NOT COLD, HAVE NOT INVESTIGATED, MAY JUST NEED CHARGED - NOT SURE. RADIO WORKS BUT THE SPEAKERS SOUND AS THOUGH THE BASS CONES MAY BE DAMAGED. TOP FUNCTIONS COMPLETELY BUT THE MATERIAL IS ORIGINAL TO THE CAR, THEREFORE IT SHOULD BE REPLACED AS THERE ARE TWO SMALL HOLES IN THE DRIVER REAR AND THE STITCHING IS BEGINNING TO DETERIORATE FROM AGE. PAINT APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL AND IS THEREFORE BEGINNING TO WEAR THIN ON SOME OF THE SHARPER EDGES AND HOOD/TRUNK ARE STARTING TO SHOW AGE. APPEARS THAT BUMPER FILLERS FRONT AND REAR WERE REPLACED AT SOME TIME BUT ARE LIKE NEW. CARB SEEMS TO NEED ADJUSTED AS CAR OCCAISIONALLY STALLS BUT FIRES RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN. THIS CAR IS A VERY NICE HONEST DRIVER, NOT A BARRETT-JACKSON "STUPID" TYPE RESTORATION. WINNING AT LOCAL SHOWS, CRUISING DOWN THE BOULEVARD, HAVING A BLAST WITH THE FAMILY....ALL THESE THINGS THIS CAR WOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE IMMEDIATELY. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PROJECT TO TAKE TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND GIVE IT A "STUPID" RESTORATION THIS CAR IS A GREAT MONEY SAVING STARTING PLACE. MILEAGE MAY VARY FROM LISTING AS THE CAR IS STILL BEING ENJOYED WHEN POSSIBLE. |

It's going to cost $12 billion to fix Cadillac
Wed, Apr 1 2015The Cadillac CT6's development predates Johan de Nysschen taking over at Cadillac, but the forthcoming flagship is the luxury brand's first major new product launch since the beginning of his tenure. The vehicle's debut also marks the beginning of a comprehensive $12 billion renewal plan bringing eight new vehicles in the next five years. Now, the former Audi and Infiniti exec is talking about joining Caddy and the company's future. "Cadillac will be a powerhouse global luxury brand that will command the respect of its peers," de Nysschen said about the forecast state of the company in 2020 to Bloomberg. He disclosed that three of those new vehicles under the five-year plan would be crossovers and reiterated that plug-in hybrids are on the way that would take advantage of the Chevrolet Volt's tech advances. De Nysschen also reminisced about joining Cadillac last year. He told Bloomberg that leaving Infiniti wasn't an easy decision, and there were apparently long conversations on the phone with General Motors President Dan Ammann discussing strategy for the luxury brand. De Nysschen was apparently clear that a greater investment and more autonomy from the corporate mother ship were vital. These days, the revitalization of Cadillac is just getting rolling. The company has a swanky New York office with a dedicated team to focus on the future. According to de Nysschen, the brand will grow its staff to around 150 people by the end of the year, compared to over 40 now. The marketing plan is to position the American luxury brand as a more distinctive product versus more common German rivals. It's going to be very interesting to see if this new Caddy can dare greatly enough to accomplish these lofty goals.
Cadillac Offering $100 For Test Drives
Wed, Apr 23 2014The video meant to be presented here is no longer available. Sorry for the inconvenience. Cadillac is hoping to jumpstart sluggish sales with a generous offer to customers to get them into dealerships and perhaps behind the wheel of their very own Caddy. Cadillac is giving a $100 gift card to any insured car owners age 21 or older who drive non-GM vehicles built after 2004, WDIV reported. If you buy a Cadillac, the automaker is offering an additional $1,500 plus other incentives. Such sales promotions have worked well in the past, analysts told The Detroit News. Cadillac had strong sales last year, but sales are down 7.3 percent this quarter compared to the first quarter last year. Cadillac will run the promotion until the end of the month.

2014 Cadillac CTS configurator open for business
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Cadillac has just set the new configurator for the redesigned, 2014 CTS live. While we've already tested out the new CTS, this is our first chance to play with all the interior and exterior color options and to get a fair idea of the price. The new CTS covers a broad swath from the $46,025 base model, with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, to the $59,995 VSport, complete with its brawny, 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6.
It doesn't take much to send the CTS's price up from there, though. Opt for the VSport Premium trim, and the price immediately jumps $10,000. Opting for one of the premium paint colors is all that's needed to nudge the CTS past $70,000. For reference, a 556-horsepower CTS-V (previous-generation, naturally) starts at $64,515.
Click over and have a look at the configurator for yourself.
