1976 Cadillac Eldorado Base Convertible 2-door 8.2l on 2040-cars
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
Up for auction is my 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. Triple black with only 94,000 miles. Very original survivor. This Eldo isn't much different than it was 38 years ago when it was sitting on the showroom floor of a Cadillac dealer. I bought this Caddy last summer. I never met the original owner. It was represented by the owner of the garage that has serviced this Eldo for at least the last 30 years. As far as the story goes this car has never been stored. Just garaged kept and easily driven an avg. of only 2500 miles a year. The owner just got to old to keep driving it and finally decided to sell it. When I bought it it had a brand new PA inspection sticker on it. It is still valid and only has about 800 miles since it was put on. The paint is original except the hood was re sprayed about 10 years ago. The hood looks great the rest could use a good detail but still looks pretty good. The black leather interior also still looks very good. Back seat is in great condition. The drivers seat has a small tear in the lower part of the back. Pretty darn good for a 38 year old convertible. Chrome all looks good, wheels are great looking, tires look close to new. The fillers are showing their age, not completely gone but should be replaced. Door panels look great. A couple of small cracks in the dash. The roof isn;t new, not sure if it is original or not. Not ripped up or torn. Boot is good. Roof motor works. One of the cross bars is disengaged. I have only had it down. With a second person you can get it up and down. On my list to get fixed. Starts right up. Runs good. In the shop now getting a valve cover gasket replaced and some new belts installed. Tranny shifts as it should. The windows work. The original radio does not. Air wasn't blowing cold. I haven't had any of the issues diagnosed. After the long winter here in Pgh, I just got it out of the garage last week. I bought this Eldo to keep and drive. Long story short, my daughter got engaged last fall and will be married this fall. The bills are starting to pile up and need to be paid some how. I have a few of my small collection for sale and don't know yet if I have to sell all of them. You know we got her through college and I thought I could finally spend some money on myself. Oh well. Either way, these cars are rare and getting rare each year. If you are local come on by and check it out. Thanks. Email with any questions.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
Cadillac scraps three-row CUV plans
Fri, 23 May 2014Crossovers are one of the hottest automotive segments on the planet. Apparently, the idea of mixing the practicality of a station wagon with the looks of an SUV appeals to people whether they are in Cleveland or Shanghai because nearly every automaker is jumping into the market. So it was no surprise when early rumors suggested Cadillac was planning two, new CUVs to fit above and below the SRX. But things might have changed since then.
New rumblings indicate Caddy is taking a different route. Instead of two crossovers, only the compact is on the way, and the larger, three-row CUV on the Lambda platform to sit between the SRX and Escalade may be a goner. According to Ward's Auto, General Motors thinks that the other three-row, Lambda vehicles like the Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia compete too closely with the proposed Cadillac. The decision comes fairly close to the 2017 intended production date.
As far back as 2010, this Lambda-platform based CUV was considered highly likely for production. However, Cadillac Senior Vice President Bob Ferguson was somewhat cooler about it when he discussed the new crossover briefly last year. He said the model could use the Escalade name, despite its unibody chassis, but no decision had been made yet to actually produce it.
Watch the 2014 Cadillac CTS get its groove on in the rain
Sun, 31 Mar 2013In case you haven't got enough of the 2014 Cadillac CTS that just debuted at the New York Auto Show, Cadillac has let us have some rolling footage of the car around its test track along with a few words from VP of marketing Don Butler and executive director of design Mark Adams.
You won't learn much more about its 420-horsepower, twin-turbo V6 but you can hear how it growls in the rain, and you can get a better idea of how you'll look in the driver's seat giving it a workout. That's got to be worth something, right? You'll find both videos just below.
