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.

Don Draper's 1965 Cadillac Coupe de Ville up for auction

Mon, Aug 3 2015

Few have ever nor ever will embody the sheer confidence and style of Don Draper, the main character on the hit AMC drama Mad Men. But if you can't quite match his style, at least you can drive his car. Now that the series has now concluded its eight-year run, the studio behind it is selling off a whole mess of artifacts from the show through ScreenBid, a specialist Hollywood memorabilia auctioneer. There's a good 1,300 lots up for grabs, from props to costumes. But the lot that's caught our attention is this 1965 Cadillac Coupe de Ville. Don picked this car up in the fifth season and drove it until the penultimate episode. These are the wheels he (spoiler alert!) drove across the country, got repaired in Oklahoma, and ultimately gave to a kid working at the motel before making his way by bus to the Bonneville Salt Flats in the final episode. At the time of writing, bidding had reached $25,000 with four days still to go. Cadillac first used the de Ville as a trim level on the Series 62 before spinning it off into its own model line. 1965 was the first year of the third-generation de Ville, stretching a massive 224 inches (over 18 and a half feet!) long. Powering over 4,600 pounds of personal American luxury was an equally massive 7.0-liter V8 that drove 340 horsepower through a three-speed automatic transmission. The name wasn't retired until 2005 when the final DeVille (as it was styled by then) was replaced by the DTS, which itself was shorthand for DeVille Touring Sedan. Cadillac produced the last DTS in 2011, finally putting to rest a name that had, in one form or another, been used since 1949. Few cars had the kind of presence that the third-gen Coupe de Ville did, though, and Draper knew it. Or at least the show's producers did.

Cadillac considering more engines, Vsport model for Escalade

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Want to roll in the latest Cadillac Escalade? You can get it with a 6.2-liter V8... or a 6.2-liter V8. Cadillac only offers the one engine option. But that may soon change.
According to the latest from Automotive News, Cadillac is contemplating a couple of new powertrain options for its blingin' big ute. The report suggests a twin-turbo V6 and a V6 turbodiesel could be offered, and that Cadillac could create a Vsport version of the Escalade like it offers on the new CTS sedan.
The more diverse engine offerings would help attract buyers from the new Lincoln Navigator, its prime competitor, which switched from a 5.4-liter V8 this year to a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6. The turbo V6 engines (both gasoline and diesel) would also help Cadillac market the Escalade overseas - particularly in Europe, where higher fuel prices preclude the prospect of driving a big V8 SUV for many buyers. Escalade sales have dropped from 35-40k units in the mid-2000s to around 12,000 the past couple of years.
