1975 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible 2-door 8.2l on 2040-cars
Machipongo, Virginia, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1975 Cadillac El Dorado convertible. In my opinion, it is a very nice driver condition car that could use some minor tlc. 97K original miles running and driving car. It has all 4 new shocks on it and new sway bar bushings in the front. The interior is in excellent condition. No cracks in the dash. door pads are very nice. Original leather seats showing minimal wear and power seat that works. Carpet has some sun fading to it. The power windows all work and so does the power locks. It has cruise control, tilt and telescoping wheel. I have not tested the cruise though. The exterior of the car has been repainted at some point, back to it's original color as far as i can tell. The bumper extensions have been replaced at a later date and their paint does not match the car too well. The car has a nice shine to it still and looks great. It does have minor chips and scratches in a few places, consistent with it's age. There are also a couple small dings in it, but by no means a beat up old car. It gets lots of looks and attention. The top works but is showing it's age. I believe it to be original also. It is shrinking up on the sides some but not torn up and still does it's job. But you should plan to replace it at some point or store it indoors as i do. Under the hood looks very original but definitely could use detail work. The valve cover gaskets were leaking and new one's were put on but the covers could have been repainted in my opinion. The radiator has been replaced with a new aluminum one. It does have some things that need repaired. The power antenna does not work but it is in the up position and the radio picks up stations fine. The radio does not appear original as it is a cassette player. It does have the original cadillac knobs and the dash was not cut to install it. The a/c is complete and comes on but does not get cold, recharge is needed i'm guessing. The driver's side top latch handle is broken. There is enough left of it that it still latches with no problem, just want you to be aware of all i know. The tires should be replaced. They hold air fine but do show some dry rot and the right front does not match the other 3. It has a jack, but no spare. The horn does not work. There is a minor exhaust leak up front. Once again guessing, but it sounds like a doughnut on driver's side. The car still runs very quiet. Once again, i am trying to list all i know so there are no surprises. There is 1 spot of rust, at the bottom of the right front fender a couple inches long. i did clean out allot of leaves from inside that door jam and i believe that was the issue. It is shown in the pics. That is it for rust. The underside is very clean. All floors, trunk and quarters are very clean too. The chrome shines nice and it has all original hubcaps. I also have the owners manual with it. This is a nice clean car for it's age. I keep it indoors but i need the space. That is why i am listing it for sale. It would be a shame to have it sit outside, it's too nice for that. Any questions i can be reached at 302-531-5185 Zero feedback bidders must call me first or bid will be deleted. Listed locally and reserve the right to end auction if sold. Car needs to be paid for in 3 days, but can remain here if needed until you are able to pick it up. For a reasonable amount of time, remember i am only selling it because i cannot keep it stored inside much longer. 100% good feedback and i work to keep that. I list all i know and remember about the car, nothing to hide.

Corvette's Performance Data Recorder headed to other cars, will Cadillac ATS-V be first?
Fri, 14 Nov 2014For 2015, the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray gained a novel piece of high-performance technology: The Performance Data Recorder. This trick system combines video from a front-mounted camera with in-car data and GPS information to help drivers record and study their lap times, complete with data overlays. While it's a clever tool for track days, it's also finding popularity as a built-in dash cam of sorts. To this point, the technology has been a Corvette exclusive, but General Motors' executive vice president of global product development, Mark Reuss, has confirmed to Autoblog that it will soon be available in other vehicles.
At a media luncheon on Thursday, we asked whether GM was keen to expand usage of the technology to other models, and if we could expect to see something soon. Reuss coyly replied, "What's soon?" When we suggested the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V (which is scheduled to debut at next week's LA Auto Show), he replied, "There will be other uses, and it won't be that far away. How's that?"
Certainly not an outright confirmation, but we wouldn't be at all surprised to see the next high-po Cadillac roll under the klieg lights at the Los Angeles Convention Center next Wednesday brandishing more than just 450 horsepower.
Combative de Nysschen defends Cadillac move, naming change
Mon, 29 Sep 2014
Johan de Nysschen isn't afraid of taking quick, decisive actions, even if they are criticized. Since taking the wheel at Cadillac, he instigated moving the luxury division's base of operations to Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood and introduced a new naming scheme for the future of the brand, like he did at Infiniti. The polarizing boss recently explained his feelings about the future of Cadillac in more depth on his Facebook page, but unfortunately only his friends could read it. Thankfully, Daily Kanban posted much of the strongly worded missive for the whole world to see.
Much of the message examines the decision to move some employees to New York. De Nysschen claims that it's all about giving Cadillac distance from Detroit to reshape itself. It allows for, "No distractions. No side shows. No cross-brand corporate considerations. No homogenized lowest common denominator approach. Just pure, unadulterated, CLASS."
