CAR HISTORY:
This car came with no documentation. All the information and history for the car is what I was told by the previous owner. The extent of his video and picture documentation was enough for me. I'm a car guy. I purchased this car completely impetuously this past June with the intent of just keeping it for hte summer. Always wanted one. Unfortunately I live in New York City and quickly realized that storing and dealing with a 20 foot car was going to suck all the joy out if its ownership. I've put about 1,000 miles on the car. It has been sitting garaged in New Jersey since late September. Originally I wanted to hang on to it until 2016 when it would be a 40 year anniversary, but it's just too much of a hassle. The follks who've been letting me store the car, sold their house, and it's just become too much of a pain in the a**. The following is the history of the car as told to me by the previous owner. This car was purchased new in
a dealership in Ft. Myers Florida in 1975. In 1988 the car was sold to
the second owner In Garfield, New Jersey. It was utilized until early 1994
and it was parked in storage until 1998 when it was purchased by the third
and previous registered owner, a member of the North Jersey Cadillac Club (sticker still on car). The car at that point was in need of some refreshing. In
1999-2000 It was restored with new paint (oem color, Calumet Cream), and it was brought up to
driving conditions. New fluids, wires, plugs etc. It was registered and
kept in a garage in the owners home. Since 2003 the car has had limited use and has largely been garaged by the owner at his house. In preparation for getting the car ready for sale, the previous owner, put a new top
on the car and fixed a few minor electrical glitches. The car
is ALL ORIGINAL. I have not replaced anything besides the top, engine oil,
and brakes (rear). It starts runs and drives very well!! Like a Cadillac should. The miles on the car read 13,468.
Ok, so that's from the previous owner, and this is from me. I do not believe the car is 13000 miles. It only has a 5 digit odometer, which reads 13,468, but i believe its actually 113,468. I believe that the vast majority of the '76 Eldorado Convertibles for sale on EBay are 100,000+ miles cars and not the super low mileage cars their owners misrepresent them to be. If that was the case it would seem that all 14,000 convertibles made in '76, were all immediately put away and never driven. I believe the odometer has not been tempered with or that it has rolled over more than once. In addition to the work done by the owner, i have relocated and rewired the convertible switch, replaced the convertible motor and replaced the muffler. Other than that the car is good to go. The 1,000 or so miles that I've put on it this summer were exclusively highway miles. I took it on a 350 mile round trip. The car ran like a champ and cruised at 75-80 effortlessly. I also had a chance to take the car on a private race track. Hey when do you get a chance to take a 76 Caddy on a 9 turn, banked, 1.5 mile track? I figured I had this chance and took it. Video shows car in action. I was incredibly surprised as to the responsiveness of the steering and how well this boat cornered You can see 100+ photos (taken by previous owner) and 3 videos of the car. The first video is the car on the race track. The other two were video provided by the previous owner. The previous owner took incredible care to document the car and, to be honest, did a much better job than i could have. Thats why I used his pictures, videos and description.

The car is very clean and quite nice for its age. The interior is
complete and is ALL original, with the original parts buttons,
leather, carpets and radio. The carpets and panels are all intact. All of the
glass is original and in great condition. The car does show its age a bit in
the leather, (has faded a bit, and look old. see pictures) but I believe can be reconditioned with a little elbow grease and Leather Honey. This car has a new convertible top, new convertible motor, recent oil, coolant and brake fluids, new rear brakes
(calipers), new filters. This car starts, runs and drives GREAT. It is very
smooth and quiet. The car idles smoothly,
has a new muffler, and the carburetor has been tuned. The
transmission shifts well, tires are in excellent condition, the
A/C blows but needs to be charged. The AC has been converted to 134A Refrigerant. The windows all
work however they need to be adjusted (not sure how to do this) the rear
windows especially. The AM/FM stereo system works well!! It is OEM and automatic search functions work. The heat works great. The Power Seats motor works (you can hear it) but does not move the seat front and back. I'm 6 feet, and its perfect for me. The
interior lights are 100%, The windshield wipers and window washers work
well, but the wipers need to be replaced. The speedometer and all of the warning lamps are also up to par. The
floor pans and undercarriage is SOLID. Under the hood, it looks good, someone
painted a few things (i.e the inner fender wells, fire wall and radiator
support. The hood liner is OEM and everything is good but does show
some age. This car also has a new battery. The chrome looks
great, has only one spot where it could use attention (see pictures). The lights
and all electronics work. The trunk is self closing and it works. It has
all of the jacks and spare tire with covers. Its a complete car. This car is
NOT museum quality, but it is a bargain at the reserve price which I WILL NOT
disclose. It is Ready to be driven and put on the road. YOU WILL NOT BE
DISAPPOINTED..

There are many reasons to love the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept, but not the least of which is how production-ready this big coupe appears to be. Take out the overly fancy interior and a few conceptual elements of the exterior, and this looks like a coupe that could be in dealers now as the successor to the Eldorado. On top of that, Automotive News is quoting Bob Ferguson, Cadillac senior vice president, as saying that a production version of this car is "very doable." AN adds that if the Monterey showstopper gets the green-light, this car would compete against the upcoming Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe and would based on Cadillac's upcoming rear-wheel-drive flagship sedan due out in 2015. The range-topping coupe would debut sometime after the sedan model. Cross your fingers.

Vaunted men's magazine Playboy knows that its readers are nearly as interested in cars as they are in the female anatomy... sorry, we thought we could write that with a straight face. Anyway, the buff-book does occasionally fill some of its spreads with sexy metal, to accent all the rest of the sexiness. To wit, the magazine has unveiled its feature on the 2013 Cars of the Year. Without giving us much in the way of criteria for the awards, nor a clear framing of the categories ("Responsible Ride" is a particularly challenging concept, especially when you consider that the Mazdaspeed3 was the winner), Playboy has nevertheless highlighted what we assume to be it's favorite 12 or 13 (depending on how you count) cars from the 2013 model year. Headlining the class is the Porsche 911, which Playboy writers single out for having "remarkable electronic voodoo." BMW M5 is named "Slickest Sports Sedan" though the Cadillac ATS then follows on because "we couldn't resist giving the new Caddy a shout-out." The rest of the picks are pretty conventional (save, perhaps, the Honda Fit EV as "Ace Electric"), even if the categories and methodology are fairly wonky. Cruise through or gallery for a taste or check out the full list, here. The site is safe for work, and you can legitimately (this time) say that you were reading it for the articles.

No, that headline isn't a typo - General Motors has reportedly issued a recall for one of its own recalls. The recall of a recall affects the recall of the 2014 Cadillac CTS, which wasn't supposed to be recalled. Except that the 2014 CTS was supposed to be recalled. Oh no, now we've gone cross-eyed. Allow us to explain. The redesigned, third-generation CTS Sedan does not feature a faulty ignition switch, while the 2014 CTS Coupe and Wagon, which are based on the second-gen car, do. And as it turns out, there are only 264 of those vehicles included in last week's 8.2-million-unit, ignition-switch recall. Model year 2003 to 2013 CTS Sedans, Coupes and Wagons are still covered. It's not entirely clear how this, frankly, colossal mistake was made, although we're betting GM is rapidly trying to get to the bottom of this embarrassing issue. Regardless, let's just take what solace we can in there being one less vehicle that GM has recalled this year.
