Rare 1981 Eldorado Convertible up for auction with NO RESERVE
Fuel injected 368 V8, 94k original miles. True dependable Caddy 368, not the underpowered HT4100 engine found in the 82 and up models. The previous owner told me that all the 4-6-8 components were removed by Cadillac dealer when it was new, now it's a smooth running, dependable fuel injected 368. With the overdrive transmission the Caddy will get over 20 mpg on the highway. Digital dash, digital climate control, power top with automatic window lowering and raising with top operation. Original cadillac AM/FM stereo cassette (working), automatic ride leveling (also operational), tilting, tescoping wheel, automatic headlights and triple fender light indicators. C&C (Classic Cadillac) full size chrome grill with extra chrome section for nose of hood, very sharp looking.
Mechanically the Caddy has four new whitewall radials (less than 500 miles on them), fuel injection service (cleaning and replacement of a couple of injectors) recent brakes, tuneup, some new exhaust parts, oil change and belts and hoses. The digital dash is intermittent, will display properly then the numbers will flicker. The driver's power seat is intermittent as well, the switch needs cleaning or replacing. The top and windows work properly, all raise and lower at once. The engine compartment is remarkably clean. The engine turns over easily, the fuel injection allowing a simple turn of the key to start the car.
Cosmetically the Eldorado shows very well, repainted about ten years ago in a nice metallic teal shaded dark blue, close to the original color but with a modern metallic finish, it sparkles in the sun. All the bumper and fender fillers were replaced when the Caddy was painted. Some spots have been touched up in the last couple of years, only visible up close. The bumpers are in good shape, no dents or scratches, the chrome gleams. The seats had some tears in the leather so the previous owner had black heated seat cushions installed over the pillow top sections, it's very nice for top down cruising on chilly summer nights. An upholstery shop did it; it's held on with strong adhesive and fasteners, it doesn't move when you get in and out of the car. The back seat has a standard bench seat cover, black to match the front. The dash has two sun cracks in the center, they are almost symmetrical, only noticeable when you're in the car. The door panels and rear panels are nice, the only flaw being a small crack in the vinyl at the top of the driver's door panel where your arm rests when the window is down. The top was replaced in 2000, one area beginning to fray by the rear top driver's side corner. The top is nicely upholstered inside, nice and quiet on the highway when the top and windows are up. The Eldorado has a nice cushioned boot cover to snap on when the top is down. The original spoke hubcaps are in great shape, chrome shines, no dents or scrapes.
These are all the pix I have right now, I'm away on business and I just found out I'm losing storage. These are the pix I submitted for Classic Insurance, just all four sides with the top up is what they require ($190 a year for full comprehensive). This is a ten day auction and I should be home in time to take a some full size pix of the Caddy all around. If not, you can check my feedback- I'm a classic car nut with a particular fondness for Caddies and buyers have been pretty happy with the cars I've sold. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Eldo is for sale locally and I'm open to buy it now offers as well. Cruises nicely on the highway, holds the road perfectly. Engine starts easily, doesn't leak anything, garage floor always dry when I pull her out. Runs very strong, tracks straight as an arrow and brakes evenly. She idles well, shifts smoothly, stops easily and the suspension is luxurious. Drives overall like a Caddy should. She's roadworthy, all directional/brake/turn signal/headlights work as well as the horn and wipers. The floors, trunk and frame are solid as the Caddy has been a Garage Queen.
Rare, classic Caddy convertible that will only appreciate in value. Any questions feel free to email or call 914-224-3230

GM outlines strategy for new products, growth in China
Wed, 01 Oct 2014
"Our strategic plan is a pathway to earn customers for life and create significant shareholder value in the process." - Mary Barra
General Motors laid out ambitious plans on Wednesday to become the world's "most valued automotive company," a goal it says it can reach by strengthening its business in China, rebuilding the Cadillac luxury brand and fixing the foundering GM Europe operations.
How GM's grueling 24-hour test gets the kinks out of its performance cars
Tue, 27 Aug 2013One of the biggest challenges automakers face when designing a high-performance car is making sure that it is both fast and reliable. For General Motors, any car that might be taken to the track by its owner - like the Corvette, Camaro Z/28 (shown above) and the Cadillac CTS-V, for example - undergoes a rigorous and strenuous 24-hour test by engineers at the Milford Proving Grounds, as pointed out by Car and Driver.
We've posted on this topic in the past - on a video showing the Camaro ZL1 being brutalized, for instance - but this article gives a more in-depth look at what actually happens behind the scenes... including what that poor ZL1 went through. Though the test isn't for 24 hours straight, the cars are pushed as hard as possible by some of GM's best drivers with only the brakes and tires replaced frequently.
We don't want to ruin the fun for you, but it is an interesting article that tells just some of what GM does to develop its sports cars. Check out the full article over at Car and Driver for the rest of the story.
Cadillac issues stop-sale on recalled CTS, SRX
Mon, 21 Jul 2014General Motors has issued a stop-sale order on the Cadillac CTS and SRX, both of which were recalled late last month. Why the stop-sale after all this time? Well, um, GM apparently doesn't know how to fix them.
The stop-sale covers all used Cadillac CTS sedans, coupes and wagons from model years 2003 to 2013, as well as new 2014 coupes and wagons. The SRX crossover stop-sale, meanwhile, only covers used vehicles from model years 2004 to 2006.
Automotive News reached out to GM spokesperson Alan Adler, who told the news pub that the company's engineers were "looking at one common solution" for the affected vehicles, although "they don't have it yet."
