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:

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.

How GM's grueling 24-hour test gets the kinks out of its performance cars

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

One of the biggest challenges automakers face when designing a high-performance car is making sure that it is both fast and reliable. For General Motors, any car that might be taken to the track by its owner - like the Corvette, Camaro Z/28 (shown above) and the Cadillac CTS-V, for example - undergoes a rigorous and strenuous 24-hour test by engineers at the Milford Proving Grounds, as pointed out by Car and Driver.
We've posted on this topic in the past - on a video showing the Camaro ZL1 being brutalized, for instance - but this article gives a more in-depth look at what actually happens behind the scenes... including what that poor ZL1 went through. Though the test isn't for 24 hours straight, the cars are pushed as hard as possible by some of GM's best drivers with only the brakes and tires replaced frequently.
We don't want to ruin the fun for you, but it is an interesting article that tells just some of what GM does to develop its sports cars. Check out the full article over at Car and Driver for the rest of the story.

Cadillac won't replace XTS after 2019

Mon, Apr 6 2015

Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without a large sedan, but the definition of just which model fits that bill changed last week. Before the New York Auto Show, that role fell to the XTS. After the New York Auto Show, though, the focus shifted to the CT6. So what's to become of the XTS now that the CT6 has emerged? According to the latest intel, it'll live out the rest of its lifecycle until around 2019, but then drive off to its own funeral like so many limousines and hearses that were built off its platform. This was learned based on comments made by Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen at the closed-door unveiling of the CT6 in Manhattan: "Ultimately, a car like XTS when it reaches the end of its lifecycle, will not be replaced." That'll be bad news for the livery business that – in the post-Town Car era – has come to rely on the XTS as the basis for its stretch jobs. "We will not have a car that will lend itself to these kind of modifications and we will probably withdraw from those markets," de Nysschen told GM Inside News. That's not all the new Cadillac boss had to say, though: he also indicated that the replacements for the ATS and CTS will be positioned differently from the current models: "As we move into the future refining our sedan portfolio, there will be no direct successor to the CTS. There will be no direct successor to the ATS. There is no point to renaming those cars because in the future those cars will disappear." Based on Johan's comments and those we've heard until now, we'd expect the replacement for the ATS to move down a size to take on the likes of the Audi A3 and Mercedes CLA, and the CTS' successor to move down half a size class as well to give the new CT6 a bit more breathing room, and possibly an even larger flagship sedan to be positioned above them all.

Cadillac CT6 to be lighter than CTS, get PHEV model

Mon, 06 Oct 2014

Cadillac is suddenly one of the most talked about automakers in the US with Johan de Nysschen taking control. The brand claims that it eventually wants to become, once again, the standard of the world. One of the first vehicles to actually prove whether that's possible is its upcoming CT6 flagship sedan. We still don't know what the production version looks like undisguised, but other important details are falling into place. The latest big news sheds some light on the Caddy's powertrain and some estimates of its weight and size.
General Motors product chief Mark Reuss dropped the details at the automaker's Global Business Conference. According to The Detroit News, he revealed that the CT6 would use a twin-turbocharged, 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and a plug-in hybrid would be an additional option. He reportedly claimed it would be the most "powerful six-cylinder gas engine in the segment" and said the hybrid could get around 70 miles per gallon.
Reuss also revealed that the CT6 would be about 53 pounds lighter than the current CTS, despite being about 8 inches longer, according to The Detroit News. If that's the case, the new flagship is about 203.5-inches long, which is 1.5-inches more than the XTS.
