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. |

eBay Find of the Day: Ryan Gosling Eldorado from Lost River
Thu, Apr 9 2015What's better than a car connected to Ryan Gosling? A car connected to Ryan Gosling and Matt Smith (the eleventh Doctor Who for our less nerdy readers). This 1966 Cadillac Eldorado convertible is driven by Smith in Lost River, Gosling's directorial debut. The movie was filmed in Detroit, with plenty of footage at the Packard factory, and the car is located in the nearby enclave of Hamtramck. Truth be told, this car has questionable star appeal and it needs a lot of work. Lost River currently holds a 20% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I've never seen an episode of any Doctor Who – a fact that amazes Seyth Miersma. And while I agree with Kroll Show character Wendell Shawn that Gosling is a "beautiful idiot," that's not enough for me to buy a car with an exhaust leak. The body on this Eldorado looks clean, but there is plenty of restoration work for the next owner. The listing states that most of the exterior and trim needs to be installed, and the front seats are in rough shape. Other details are vague – the carburetor "might need to be rebuilt" and the radiator and fan "may need to be replaced" but neither statements explain why. On the upside, the 340 horsepower (gross rating), 429 cubic inch V8 runs well. Reserve is not met at the current price of $4,000, but this could be a chance to get a classic '60's convertible for cheap.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
Don Draper's 1965 Cadillac Coupe de Ville up for auction
Mon, Aug 3 2015Few have ever nor ever will embody the sheer confidence and style of Don Draper, the main character on the hit AMC drama Mad Men. But if you can't quite match his style, at least you can drive his car. Now that the series has now concluded its eight-year run, the studio behind it is selling off a whole mess of artifacts from the show through ScreenBid, a specialist Hollywood memorabilia auctioneer. There's a good 1,300 lots up for grabs, from props to costumes. But the lot that's caught our attention is this 1965 Cadillac Coupe de Ville. Don picked this car up in the fifth season and drove it until the penultimate episode. These are the wheels he (spoiler alert!) drove across the country, got repaired in Oklahoma, and ultimately gave to a kid working at the motel before making his way by bus to the Bonneville Salt Flats in the final episode. At the time of writing, bidding had reached $25,000 with four days still to go. Cadillac first used the de Ville as a trim level on the Series 62 before spinning it off into its own model line. 1965 was the first year of the third-generation de Ville, stretching a massive 224 inches (over 18 and a half feet!) long. Powering over 4,600 pounds of personal American luxury was an equally massive 7.0-liter V8 that drove 340 horsepower through a three-speed automatic transmission. The name wasn't retired until 2005 when the final DeVille (as it was styled by then) was replaced by the DTS, which itself was shorthand for DeVille Touring Sedan. Cadillac produced the last DTS in 2011, finally putting to rest a name that had, in one form or another, been used since 1949. Few cars had the kind of presence that the third-gen Coupe de Ville did, though, and Draper knew it. Or at least the show's producers did.
