Hello and Welcome to my auction.  Let’s get to know each other a little.  I am a seller with 100% feedback of honesty and integrity!!!  If you will be bidding on this auction, I will expect you to be the same.  This opportunity is to own one of America’s Finest Classic Convertibles.  The 1976 Triple White Eldorado!!!  With the holidays around the corner, this may be a great opportunity as a gift to a loved one or for you.  If you are looking at this auction, than you already know the most of the specifics about the 1976 Cadillac Eldorado.  I will not bore you, but I will tell you 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:

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.

Brock Lesnar does M. Bison impression on Cadillac CTS

Fri, Jul 10 2015

There's no doubt that a huge amount of physicality is required to survive night after night in the ring as a professional wrestler. Conversely, the storylines that tie all the action together are as staged as any soap opera. However, there's nothing fake about watching two axes being embedded in a Cadillac CTS by WWE wrestler Brock Lesnar. Lesnar's prodigious brawn was really putting this luxury sedan out of its misery, though. With matte black stripes on the hood, fake fender vents, camouflage along the side, and a decal proclaiming "Redneck" on the windshield, this particular Cadillac was far from the standard of the world. In favor of the CTS' build quality, Lesnar's hatchets didn't immediately do quite as much damage as you might expect, and he had to take several swings to achieve the destruction here. If you think that destroying a sedan one piece at a time sounds like something from a video game, you aren't alone. Someone else noticed a definite similarity to the bonus round from Street Fighter 2 where you get points for beating up a car at the dockside until it falls apart. Appropriate sound effects were even added, but having Lesnar throw a few pixelated fireballs would have been a nice inclusion, too. For the significantly longer, original version, check out the one embedded below. After Lesnar crushes the CTS, the actual wrestling does eventually ensue. The Caddy even briefly acts as a prop for some of the action.

2016 Cadillac CT6 has arrived

Wed, Apr 1 2015

We have known for a while that the 2015 New York Auto Show would mark the debut of Cadillac's latest flagship model. But after months of waiting as Caddy slowly revealed details, the 2016 Cadillac CT6 has finally arrived. The sedan is a technological tour de force for the brand and inaugurates a long list of new technologies. The CT6 will begin production at the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly plant in late 2015 and will go on sale with three engine options. Caddy won't release final figures yet, but based on preliminary numbers, we know the base 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder will make 265 horsepower. Stepping up to the newly revised 3.6-liter V6 will net buyers an estimated 335 hp, and finally there will be the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with an output of around 400 hp. All of these engines will be mated to eight-speed automatic transmissions, and six-cylinder models will get standard all-wheel drive that will be able to constantly vary the power sent to the front wheels. Carrying those powertrains is the new, aluminum-intensive Omega architecture. In addition to the lightweight metal making up the platform, the entire exterior also uses it to provide an estimated curb weight of less than 3,700 pounds. The decision to shed mass makes the CT6 a featherweight in its class – for comparison, the lightest, six-cylinder Audi A8 weighs 4,365 pounds. The sedan rides on a 122.4-inch wheelbase and is 204 inches long. That makes the Cadillac about 1.3 inches shorter than the smallest BMW 7 Series, but the Caddy is projected to tip the scales at less than both the big Bimmer and even the 5 Series, too. Cadillac wants the CT6 to be a luxury sedan that drivers can enjoy. In addition to the low weight, there's an available Active Chassis System throughout the range with rear-wheel steering and Magnetic Ride Control. When combined with the all-wheel-drive system, it means every corner of the car is both driving and steering the vehicle. Inside, the CT6 offers a ton of tech and luxury. Drivers are held in massaging, leather seats, and rear passengers also get adjustable chairs that are heated and cooled. Quad-zone climate controls keep everyone comfortable. Plus, in addition to the 34-speaker Bose audio system and streaming rearview mirror, there are features like a 10.2-inch CUE infotainment system with a capacitive touchscreen and console-mounted touchpad. The display also shows a 360-degree view outside and can even record video when the security system is activated.
