Nice 1972 Caddy Eldo Convertible Up for Auction with NO RESERVE - Very Low Miles, One Owner, Original Title 42k documented original miles, 500 V8. I've got a huge folder of all the service records since the car was new as well as the original Florida title from 1972 and two huge shop manuals as well as the owner's manual and all the paperwork that came with the Caddy (build sheet, list of options, etc) when it was purchased in 1972. I'm the second owner, I bought it from the original owner down in Florida and had it shipped up here last spring. It's only been up here in New York for a little over six months, she's a Florida Caddy with working air conditioning retrofitted to modern freon. Mechanical: Many new front end parts in 2008 including axles, bearings, bushings, sway bar links, ball joints, and more. If you've had a 70's Eldorado you know how the front end wears out, considering it's a front wheel drive vehicle with a 500 V8 sitting on top of it. Caddy handles like new now, the front end is nice and tight, no wandering. New exhaust system from engine back in 2009, done right with Walker muffler and all welded pipes, Caddy runs nice and quiet. Other work over the last decade or so includes new front disc brake calipers, rotors and hoses, new radiator and alternator. The Eldo has always been immaculately maintained as seen in the included folder of service records. The only things I've done since I've had her is Monroe air shocks in the rear, KYB gas adjustable front shocks as well as a full tuneup including belts and hoses, oil change and coolant flush. Cosmetic: The Eldo has always been in a garage so the floors, trunk, frame and body are solid. The body is very straight, no accidents ever. The Caddy wears her original paint which still shines up nicely as seen in the pix. The interior is nice, no rips on seats, power seat works, one small crack on the right side of the dash (about an inch, not visible in the pix), door panels and rear panels good, the rug has been replaced at some point. The top is good, no rips, goes up and down easily. Power windows work well. The convertible top replaced in 2000, top goes up and down easily with the push of a button, no help necessary. The windows could use new weatherstripping. The chrome bumpers and brightwork are in great shape, light fading on the top part of rear bumper. The interior is a blue/green color, it looks more blue in the pix. The boot cover is in great shape, snaps on easily. When you look at, get into and drive this car it's clear that's she's always been treated with love and has spent her life as a "Garage Queen". She's roadworthy, all directional/brake/turn signal/headlights work, even the cool multi-color fender indicators. Engine always starts easily, even after sitting for a month or two. Cruises nicely on the highway, holds the road perfectly, 8.2 liter V8 moves this big girl easily up the highway with LOTS of power. The Caddy tracks straight as an arrow and brakes evenly, no pulling or fading. She idles perfectly and the suspension is luxurious. The Eldo is almost spotless underneath; floors and trunk completely solid, body never patched, she's never seen NY winters so she's pretty clean overall. No leaks, garage floor always dry when I take her out. Overall, drives like an American classic luxury car should. I'm selling a couple of my Caddies due to finances and I hope to find good homes for them. I had not planned on selling the Eldo as I've always loved the early 70's models for the style and the high compression 500 V8 engine, it's rated at 400 HP. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Caddy is for sale locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of shipping to paid by buyer. If you need it I can recommend a door to door auto shipper I've used many times in the past; they're professional, reliable and have great rates. This is a NO RESERVE auction, top bidder gets her! Nice classic Caddy which will only appreciate in value! Any questions feel free to call or email. 914-224-3230 |

GM announces six new recalls, covering 3.5 million vehicles
Mon, 16 Jun 2014General Motors has just initiated another crushingly large recall, this time affecting some 3.36 million vehicles built between 2000 and 2014 and sold in the US, Canada and Mexico. Once again, the issue surrounds the cars' ignition switches, which can be kicked out of the run position if they're carrying extra weight or if they experience a "jarring" event. In this particular case, though, GM will modify the keys, rather than the ignition itself.
A four-by-six-millimeter hole will be drilled into the key, which will more safely accommodate the weight of the key ring. As is usually the case, the work will be done free of charge. The recalled vehicles include the 2000 to 2005 Cadillac Deville, 2004 to 2005 Buick Regal LS and GS, 2004 to 2011 Cadillac DTS, 2005 to 2009 Buick Lacrosse, 2006 to 2008 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2006 to 2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006 to 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Only the Impala is still in production, and even then, it's only sold to fleet companies.
According to an official statement from GM, there have been eight crashes and six injuries due to this latest issue. As if this isn't a dire enough blow for GM, the company has announced five smaller recalls, covering 165,000 vehicles.
GM recalling Cadillac ATS, XTS, Chevy Impala over faulty brake lamps
Thu, 06 Jun 2013General Motors has issued a recall covering 1,627 sedans over faulty brake lamps. Both the 2013 Cadillac ATS and XTS are affected by this problem, as is the 2014 Chevrolet Impala.
According to an official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, "the brake lamps may intermittently flash without the brakes being applied and the cruise control may disengage" on these vehicles. The report does not state that the brakes themselves are faulty, but rather that "if the brake lamps flash when the vehicle is not slowing, a following driver may not adjust vehicle speed when the vehicle is in fact braking."
This marks the first recall for the 2013 Cadillac ATS, as well as the recently introduced 2014 Chevy Impala. In late 2012, over 12,000 Cadillac XTS models were recalled due to a head restraint issue.
