No Reserve - Nice Caddy Eldorado Convertible, 65k Orig, Not 1975 1976 1984 1982 on 2040-cars
Putnam Valley, New York, United States
|
Nice, Low Mileage, Fully Loaded 1983 Cadillac Eldorado Convetible up for auction with NO RESERVE 65k original miles, fuel injected 4.1 V8. Options include power convertible top with boot cover, "Touring Suspension", split bench power seat with pillowtop leather seats, tilt wheel, "Sentinel" auto headlights, cruise control, digital "Symphonic" AM/FM cassette radio, dual mirrors, remote trunk release with power pulldown, locking wire wheels and the standard power windows, power steering and power disc brakes. Mechanical: The Caddy has always been well maintained. Recent work over the last ten years includes new front end work including both front axles/cv joints, shocks, ball joints, and bushings, new exhaust, new alternator and shocks as well as brakes, full tuneup and a recent brand new set of Michelin tires. The climate control works properly and the a/c compressor turns on but only blows cool, it could use a charge of R12 if available or a retrofit to modern freon. I will include a new driver's seat motor, it just needs to be installed. Otherwise, all the amenities work, the AM/FM stereo and cassette (the digital display of the radio station numbers is intermittent), the cruise control, the power windows are quick, the power top works perfectly, the remote trunk release and power pulldown work. I've had several 80's era Eldorados and this one by far runs and handles the best, you don't even feel the engine when you're stopped at a light. Cosmetics: The car still wears her original paint and still looks pretty good. There is a small spot of bubbling above the driver's rear wheel well, only visible up close and the rear plastic bumper fillers are beginning to crack.The door panels, rear panels dashboard / dash display, headliner and visors are in excellent condition, no cracks, tears or missing parts. The seats are in excellent condition as seen in the pix. The cushioning of the seats feels soft and comfortable. The convertible top was replaced around 2000, now the glass back window is becoming unglued from the convertible top at the bottom. The Caddy has never had any body repair, the floors and frame are solid and the chrome shines nicely. She's never been out in the winter, she's always been a "Garage Queen". The engine starts easily even after sitting for weeks and the garage floor is always dry when I pull the car out. She cruises nicely on the highway, shifts smoothly, disc brakes stop the car quickly, she idles evenly and the suspension is silky smooth over the roughest roads. On the highway she'll get easily over 20 MPG. The directional/brake/turn signal/headlights/brights work properly, as well as the wipers and the the external three color fender indicators (lights, brights and turn signal). Drives overall like it would have when driven off the dealer's lot in 1983. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Caddy is for sale locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of shipping to paid by buyer. I can recommend a door to door auto shipper I've used in the past; they're professional, reliable and have great rates. If you need to get a quote my zip code is 10579. |

Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
Meet the other Cadillac wagon. It's as American as ABBA
Tue, Aug 16 2022The Cadillac CTS Wagon became a cult classic the second it went on sale. We all knew that it was never going to sell in anything approaching significant numbers, and if that "we" didn't include those actually working at GM, one would have to wonder what they were smoking. Cadillac was still having a hard enough time trying to convince people that it was now a BMW-fighting sport luxury brand rather than the purveyor of Grandpa-piloted land yachts. To many, a sport sedan like the CTS seemed like a stretch. But a CTS sport wagon? It sure seemed like GM was just doing things for funzies, an impression only enhanced by the CTS-V Wagon. Forget cult classic. That thing was an instant legend. And yet, the CTS wasn't the only Cadillac of that era offered as a wagon. It wasn't even the first. Before GM said "to hell with it, let's have some fun" on this side of the pond, over in Europe, it had already taken a page from its old badge-engineering playbook to create the 2006 Cadillac BLS Wagon. It was available as a sedan, too, but its awkward majesty is best enjoyed as the long-roof model. There's just something off about the whole thing, right? That's probably because it also looks vaguely familiar, as if you've seen it before. So where the hell does this thing come from? Sweden! Behind that Cadillac Art and Science face is a Saab 9-3, and in the case of the BLS Wagon, the Saab 9-3 Sport Combi wagon. The roofline is the dead giveaway, as no other wagon has ever looked like that. In fact, the roof and windows were the only exterior elements to copy directly over from 9-3 to BLS. No kidding. With the Cadillac front end, doesn't the Saab-funky-boxiness make it look like a miniature hearse? The answer is yes. GM's design team, led by Ed Welburn, was quite pleased with his work. Perhaps it even egged him on to create a real Cadillac sport wagon? "The whole team was very excited to apply Cadillac's design language to a wagon for the first time," said Welburn in a press release from the time. "The V-shaped chrome-plated grille, a Cadillac hallmark, is picked up again by the shape of the rear window, and the body side character lines make it unmistakably a Cadillac." The interior is surprisingly different from the 9-3, including the ignition switch migrating from the center console up to the steering column. It also wasn't exactly in keeping with the Cadillac norm of the time.
