1975 CADILLAC ELDORADO CONVERTIBLE CELEBRITY & UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA HISTORY
 

CADILLAC ELDORADO CONVERTIBLE...ONE OF THE MOST ENDURING CLASSIC AMERICAN AUTOMOTIVE ICONS!

BACKGROUND...previously owned by two Georgia physicians, the Eldorado has been a bit of a "celebrity" around the Athens campus of the University of Georgia where it has been seen at many events over the years.

CELEBRITY ORAL HISTORY (undocumented)...is that in addition to many prominent UGA events, the car was featured as the Grand Marshall vehicle at a prominent "500" race and that Tatum and/or Ryan O'Neal rode in the car at that event.  Tatum O'Neal received the  academy award's Oscar in 1974 for her starring role opposite her father in Paper Moon... so she was certainly in the media spotlight in the 1974/1975 time-frame, which squares perfectly with this Eldorado being brand-new at the time.

LOCATION:  The car is located in Alpharetta, GA...a suburb of Atlanta, GA.

DRIVE REPORT & GENERAL CONDITION...the car is a very nice boulevard cruiser.  It is perfect for lovely rides in the country and local car shows...where it receives admiring glances wherever it goes.  The top is brand new and cost $1200.  It powers up and down...but usually needs just a little help with your hand mid-cycle...and then it takes over to go to the desired position.  The carburetor has been recently rebuilt.

The car is highly original...never receiving extensive restoration.  Expect wear and use "patina" throughout the car.  The overall presentation is good, but as the images will show, there is wear and aging in the interior.  The overall body is quite straight.  It appears to have been painted once...years ago.  Though the body panels seem solid, there is some paint bubbling...particularly on the rear fenders toward the rear bumper...very common for this year.

Operationally, the horn and headlamps/tail-lamps/brake-lamps/horn/wipers/power windows/Power seat (okay fore and aft...front tilt is out) all work.  The A/C, power antenna, directionals, clock and windshield washer will need service.  The famed Cadillac electric pull-down for the trunk works well.  Cruise Control light comes on...but feature was not tested.

Please keep in mind that though we endeavor to describe the condition compleley, it is not impossible for us to have missed something.

PLEASE NOTE: To present this car in a very comprehensive manner, over 100 images have been provided.  The first group of images will quickly give you an overall impression of the car...with the following sections identified for detailed images of each major area of the car.

To see ALL of the images, you MUST place your cursor on an image - allow plenty of time for all images to download - and then scroll slowly ALL the way to the bottom.

CAUTION:  if you use the scroller to the FAR RIGHT of your screen or the "Click to view image album" feature...you will NOT see all the images.

2,436 TRANSACTIONS WITH HAPPY PEOPLE!  As of the date of this listing, we've had 2,436 transactions (both buying and selling) on eBay without a single complaint. One of the keys to our selling success is the use of LARGER and MORE images than you will likely see in ANY other eBay listing...so you can CLEARLY see what you are getting.

QUESTIONS?  Please call Jim Murphy at 706-429-7924 if you have any questions that this description or the pictures at right do not answer for you.

INVESTMENT POTENTIAL in Cadillac Eldorados has always been of the "blue chip" variety among classic cars.  This is a car that you can acquire for a very reasonable investment...enjoy as it is now...and improve over the years as it appreciates in value.

AUDIO...the updated electronic AM-FM-STEREO unit plays well.  Sometimes a speaker will "cut out" on one side...which likely indicates a loose connection.

BE SURE TO EXAMINE ALL THE 100+ IMAGES AS THEY DETAIL IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAR!

PAYMENT DETAILS:  Payment is due within 3 business days of auction's end via Bank to Bank Wire Transfer. Vehicle will be released to the new owner immediately upon full clearance of payment to seller's Bank.

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS are welcome, but MUST adhere to the Payment Details above and also make all arrangements for pick-up and importation of the vehicle into the Buyer's country.  We will store the car free of charge for a reasonable period of time while transportation is arranged for the car.

ABOUT ME:  I am an avid car enthusiast.  After retiring from 30 years of sales and marketing in a Global 100 company, I formed Murphy Endeavors, LLC and began buying and selling classic cars as a collector and for friends and clients.  This classic Cadillac Eldorado is owned by a friend and fellow collector.

Please note that we have had 2,436 eBay transactions with 100% Positive Feedback and have sold classic cars to happy eBay customers in Sweden, Switzerland, France, Australia, Russia, Canada, Japan, and throughout the United States.


IMPORTANT FINAL REMARKS & CONDITIONS OF SALE...the Buyer will receive a Notarized Bill of Sale and clear Georgia-issued Title.

Though every practical effort has been made to accurately describe and present the Cadillac, it is a 40 year-old vehicle with 40 year-old technology.  As owners of  classic cars well know...even the best restored cars will need repair from time to time...and often without notice. Therefore, the sale is strictly on an as-is and final basis with no warranty or liability expressed or implied.

Pre-purchase examination of the car (if desired) is welcomed before (not after) the auction's closing and can be easily arranged by appointment.
