about this vehicle specifically. Here we
go: 1976 Cadillac
Eldorado Convertible VIN # 6 L 6 7 S 6 Q 2 1 0 2 0 0 This Eldo was born at the
Detroit, MI General Motors Plant I purchased this very desirable triple white on red Eldorado from a very nice and honest man in November 2010. The car was in NY and I had it sent down to Orlando, Florida, where we have a vacation home. This Vehicle has gone through a body on re-vamping. The undercarriage of the car is solid and did not need to be touched. The body is almost rust free and straight. It runs and drives as a 65,000 mile Cadillac should. Important: when I bought the car, it was advertised 65,320 original miles. The previous owner, who I believe, told me it was for real. But I rely don`t know. The odomoter was not working when I got the car, and is not working now. I know I put less than a thousand miles on it, as I only use it during vacation. So let`s say it has probably 66,000 miles. As you will see from the
pictures, the gentleman who owned this car before really took pride in it looking and
running great. But remember: this is an almost 40years old car. There`s always some things to be done. I am not a mechanic, but I think a lot of things were replaced: Looks like most of the gaskets on original motor are replaced Radiator Exhaust system from crossover back and all
header gaskets are new Power steering system Alternator New Battery (this is the only thing I replaced myself) Cap, rotor, and wires (New Wires are Grey in Color) Master Cylinder Wiper Motor Hood Hinges New Original A/C Unit All Lines New and System Fitted to R-134A & it works New Fiberglass Front and Rear Bumper and Fender extensions
including all Fillers All Headlights, Tail Lights, Cornering Lamps, Indicators on
top of the fenders all work and function properly. That’s Awesome!! All Windows and Convertible top function as they should Power Bucket Seats Function properly Cruise Control is fully functional Light Sentinel Wipers with Delay New Leather Interior Seats (Not Vinyl) Auto trunk closer New Top Latch But again, I`m not a mechanic and I only had to change the battery. Here are some Video Links of the Eldorado: Convertible Top and Windows Going up and Down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU1EWgWqAdE Eldorado Driving on Parking Lot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF8ZmgwkClo
A couple of the tolerances are off on the car. One is on the passenger door and one is by the trunk. It looks like during assembly after painting that they just need to be readjusted. The body looks great, but the painting is not perfect. You inspect properly and you will find some details of imperfection. All chrome on this car is close to perfect, solid, and shiny. There is one small area on the front bumper upon inspection that the chrome looks a little imperfect. Tires are in great shape and probably have 7/8 of their life left. There are two different brands of tires on the car. Don’t know why. The interior is rely beatifull and in great shape. The seats are white, perfect, new, and leather. All panels in the car are white and perfect with no cracks. The dash is perfect with only one small crack hidden when the driver’s door is closed. The top has a small tear in the passenger side, but weather can’t enter. Still, getting a new one is something that you should consider. The rear window is Glass. This car does not have the Original Radio and the antenna is not powered. This car is not a show car, but it is one that you can put in your local shows and I think it may take home a trophy. You may
ask, “Why are you getting rid of the car?” The previous owner was getting married. I only drive this car during my vacations in Florida which do not take much time anymore. If you were to buy an Eldorado that needed some work and you did all of these things to it, you would spend probably 10, 15, or even 20 thousand dollars to get it to where this car is today. The Reserve price is set very reasonably for this Triple White Convertible Eldorado. |

Cadillac ATS to go racing in 2015 as CTS.V.R replacement
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Cadillac has been racking up victories with the CTS.V.R in Pirelli World Challenge racing for two model generations now, including recent GT class championships in 2012 and 2013. However, even winning racers eventually have to retire, and it looks like the CTS may be taking a bow at the end of the season. In its place, Caddy is reportedly working on a new racecar based on the ATS Coupe, and it might even get to compete internationally.
According to Racer, Pratt & Miller Engineering is leading the development and is already lapping the ATS racecar in Michigan for testing. It reportedly drops the CTS' V8 in favor of a twin-turbocharged V6 powering the rear wheels. Since this is the same team behind the hugely successful Corvette Racing program and the current CTS.V.R, the latest car appears to be in good hands.
The new model would also adhere to GT3 rules, according to Racer, and that might signal a big change for Cadillac's motorsports program. It means that the ATS could be sold to teams in the numerous series around the world that accept these vehicles. That would broaden the luxury coupe's exposure and put it up against GT3 racecars from premium brands, like Bentley, Porsche and McLaren. If it wins, the change could be a marketing bonanza for the brand.

Cadillac abandons plans for six-digit flagship sedan
Mon, 01 Jul 2013So much for that party. Cadillac has announced that it is walking away from plans to build a high-dollar, rear-wheel-drive ultraluxury sedan. The low-volume model would have been based on the lusty Ciel Concept, and the production iteration would have carried a price tag well over $100,000. Executives with the automaker reportedly claim the model wouldn't have bolstered the brand enough to be worth the investment.
Even so, Automotive News reports Cadillac is still on track to build a range-topping four-door to go head-to-head with the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. That model will likely be constructed on the company's upcoming Omega rear-wheel-drive platform, but we won't see it bow until at least 2016. Right now, the front-wheel-drive XTS sits at the top of the Cadillac lineup, and while that machine and it's twin-turbocharged V6 variant makes a compelling argument against certain luxury entries, it falls short serving as a legitimate competitor for the likes of the 7 Series and S-Class for enthusiast drivers.
