1973 CADILLAC ELDORADO CONVERTIBLE, VERY GOOD MECHANICAL CONDITION, RUNS AND DRIVES FINE, MANY MANY REPLACEMENT PARTS FROM PARTS CAR.
COMPLETE CAR BUT WILL BE A MAJOR RESTORATION PROJECT.
HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 14 YEARS DURING WHICH TIME HAVE REPLACED TRANSMISSION AND MUCH OF FRONT END WITH PARTS FROM 42K MILE PARTS CAR.
PROBABLY BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN CAR IS BY THE GOOD AND BAD. FIRST THE GOOD:
++++92000 ORIGINAL MILES. HAD 89OOO ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN 1997.
+++TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY SMOOTHLY +++ LESS THAN 1000 MILES SINCE REPLACED FROM PARTS CAR.
+++ENGINE RUNS EXCELLENTLY. 4-BARREL ROCHESTER REBUILT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
+++SEATS AND MUCH OF INTERIOR FROM A DIFFERENT PARTS CAR+++ PRETTY GOOD SHAPE.
+++SOME INTERIOR DOOR PANELS HAVE BEEN RE-DONE AND SOME ARE ORIGINAL FROM A '74 WHERE FRONT DOOR PANELS REPLACED.
+++FRONT TIRES ARE ALMOST NEW. LESS THAN 100 MILES ON THEM. REAR TIRES IN GOOD SHAPE,
+++DASH HAS NO CRACKS!!! HARD TO FIND ONE WITHOUT CRACKS.
+++BODY IN FAIR SHAPE, ALL THERE, NOTHING MISSING.
+++CONVERTIBLE TOP MECHANISM ALL THERE BUT TOP MOTOR INOP+++
+++ALL GLASS IS PRESENT AND RECALL THAT ALL WINDOW MOTORS WORK THOUGH SLOWLY.
++++GOOD BATTERY++++
++++LOTS OF SPARE PARTS PER PHOTOS.
THE BAD:
+++RUSTED OUT REAR FLOOR PANELS AND SOME UNDER REAR SEAT+++
+++CONVERTIBLE TOP IS IN PIECES, HAVEN'T HAD IT UP IN SEVERAL YEARS.+++
+++SOME "BODY CANCER" ON LOWER PANELS AS SHOWN.+++
+++MISSING A COUPLE OF THE LOWER CHROME PANELS.
+++STEERING WHEEL HAS NUMEROUS CRACKS AS SHOWN.
(DO HAVE SPARE WHEEL AND COLUMN IN TRUNK. THE WHEEL ON SPARE IS IN BETTER SHAPE BUT IS BROWN.
+++HAS EXHAUST LEAK THAT SOUNDS LIKE MUFFLER GONE. BELIEVE IS HEADER PIPE THAT IS EITHER CRACKED OR RUSTED)
I USED THIS CAR FOR AN OCCASIONAL DRIVER FOR A LONG TIME . HAD INTENTIONS OF RESTORING BUT I DON'T HAVE THE BODY REPAIR SKILLS AND TIME NEEDED.
SO -- OFFERING TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO HOPEFULLY WILL WANT TO RESTORE IT TO WHAT IT CAN BE.
REMEMBER THAT THIS WHITE/RED ELDO IS THE SAME BASIC CAR AS THE 1976 CLASSIC "LAST AMERICAN CONVERTIBLE" ELDO THAT IS NOW SUPER COLLECTIBLE.
CAR HAS BEEN MY PERSONAL CAR BUT IS TITLED TO THE USED CAR DEALERSHIP WITH WHICH I AM LICENSED. C & S AUTOMOBILE COMPANY, UTAH DEALER # 2616.
YOU COULD PROBABLY DRIVE IT WHEREVER YOU WANT TO TAKE IT BUT WOULD RECOMMEND HAULING JUST BECAUSE HASN'T BEEN DRIVEN VERY FAR IN SEVERAL YEARS.
WOULD HOPE BUYER WOULD RESTORE IT BUT, IF YOU'RE GOOD AT THIS,YOU COULD PROBABLY PART IT OUT FOR MUCH MORE THAN ASKING HERE.
I REALIZE THAT BUYING A "PROJECT" CAR SIGHT UNSEEN IS DIFFERENT. I HAVE TRIED TO ACCURATELY REPRESENT THE CAR SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING. HOWEVER, IF YOU COME TO PICK UP CAR AND DON'T FEEL I ACCURATELY REPRESENTED IT, I WILL GIVE YOU BACK HALF THE DEPOSIT ($250) AND WE'RE GOOD.
THIS IS A +++NO RESERVE+++ AUCTION SO HIGH BIDDER WILL DEFINITELY WIN. PLEASE +++DON'T BID+++ UNLESS READY AND ABLE TO PURCHASE.
IF NEW TO EBAY (LESS THAN 10 FEEDBACKS) PLEASE EMAIL ME YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION BEFORE BIDDING. THINK THAT FAIR AS MY FEEDBACK RECORD SPEAKS FOR MY INTEGRITY AS A SELLER.
THANKS FOR LOOKING AND KEEP PRAYING FOR OUR TROOPS WORLDWIDE! (USAF, USAR, RET)

2016 Hennessey CTS-V is properly ridiculous with 1,000 horsepower
Thu, Apr 9 2015We truly live in a halcyon era of automotive performance with models like the latest Shelby GT350 Mustang and 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat. And now Hennessey Performance Engineering is bringing something with absolutely obscene power to the world with its tuned 2016 Cadillac CTS-V that packs a ludicrous 1,000 horsepower. The latest CTS-V isn't even on sale yet but should be a powerhouse straight from the factory. Under its carbon fiber hood is a 6.2-liter supercharged LT4 V8 with 640 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque that makes the sedan capable of a 200-mile-per-hour top speed. Hennessey's take ditches the blower in favor of two turbos to feed air to the engine. To cope with the extra power, the mill gets upgrades like forged aluminum pistons and forged steel parts for the rods and crankshaft, and transmission upgrades are also necessary to make it all work. Buyers can even spec things like carbon-ceramic brakes and a widebody kit to allow for bigger tires. The crazy numbers are leading to some big performance claims from company founder John Hennessey. "I believe that our 2016 Twin Turbo CTS-V will have a top speed approaching 240 mph," he said in the Caddy's announcement. Hennessey is building just 24 of these 1,000-horsepower sedans for the 2016 model year. However, for those that want to keep the supercharger under the hood, the company is also offering upgrades with 750 hp and 800 hp for the CTS-V too. All of them sound absolutely ridiculous in an utterly fantastic way. 2016 HPE1000 Twin Turbo Cadillac CTS-V Texas Tuner Plans to Build World's Fastest 4-Door Sedan Sealy, Texas-When the next generation Cadillac CTS-V hits the streets later this year, it will have 640+ hp and a top speed of nearly 200 mph. To the team at Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE), this is a good starting point. The company plans to pick-up where they left off with the last gen CTS-V by producing the world's fastest 4-door sedan: The Hennessey HPE1000 Twin Turbo CTS-V. "A couple of years ago, the State of Texas gave us the opportunity to test one of our specially tuned CTS-Vs – our VR1200 Twin Turbo coupe. It ran 221 mph (356 km/h) on State Highway 130, near the Circuit of the Americas", said company founder, John Hennessey. "It was still pulling on when we ran out of road. I believe that our 2016 Twin Turbo CTS-V will have a top speed approaching 240 mph (386 km/h)". Hennessey plans to offer a limited run of only 24 units for the 2016 model year.
2014 Cadillac XTS Vsport
Mon, 30 Sep 2013Not long after bombing around the Milford Road Course in the new CTS Vsport, Cadillac invited me to try out its other new-for-2014 Vsport model: the XTS. And despite using the same twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 from the CTS, the Vsport package takes on a whole new meaning here in Cadillac's softer flagship.
In the CTS, this trim perfectly bridges the gap between the standard models and the hardcore CTS-V, and is focused on being the best-driving version of the range without a standalone V badge. The XTS, however, has no proper V model, so the Vsport becomes the new range-topper for that line by default. But unlike the CTS Vsport, which uses rear-wheel-drive architecture and is focused on driving dynamics above all, the XTS is geared toward a much different customer.
The entire XTS experience is far more concerned with plush comfort than handling prowess, and while this Vsport model certainly ups the ante with more power and some mild suspension and steering tweaks, it's not exactly what we'd call a particularly engaging experience. But that doesn't mean it isn't good.
