1972 Cadillac Eldorado






Offered for sale is a 1972 Cadillac Eldorado. The car is completely original and in above-average condition. It is mechanically sound and ready for a new owner. The speedometer shows a mileage of 40,700 miles. Based on the general overall condition, the mileage is therefore credible. Be that as it may, the car has no documented history. The car shows the usual signs of wear for a vehicle that is over 50 years old. The overall condition of the vehicle is very good for its age. The vehicle was delivered in California and was driven there most of the time before it came to Florida. Therefore it was never driven in winter, in snow and ice or on salty roads. The generally good condition and the low mileage reflect this. The vehicle is mechanically in order and ready to drive. To get your own impression of the overall condition, please take a look at the external photo series with over 160 photos and the video. You can find the link below the last photo.

If you have any question, please feel free to contact me. All questions will be answered to the best of my knowledge. I'm not a dealer, this car is a private sale.


By prior arrangement, I can also show you the car live via WhattsApp video chat.


        



 
Body / Paint
The entire body and underbody are solid. No bodywork, welding or other restoration work has been carried out to date. The vehicle is rust-free except for two small spots on the lower corner of the vinyl roof. Fenders, doors, side panels, hood and trunk lid are in perfect condition. The car is partially repainted. There is no visible error in the color. The paintwork on the front hood, roof and trunk lid is damaged by the sun and has a semi-glossy appearance. In addition, the paint appears to have an unclean appearance in places and sometimes over the entire area. There is a spot on the rear of the trunk lid as well as on the left front fender where fluid has damaged the defect. The general external paint condition can therefore only be classified as fair and also because of its age. All chrome, stainless steel and trim parts are in excellent condition, with no damage or scratches and absolutely rust-free. The front and the pane of the rest of the glass are completely free of damage or scratches. The partial vinyl roof has no damage or cracks and is in good condition.

Understanding Classic Cars? 

I have described this vehicle to the best of my knowledge and belief. This should give you a realistic impression of the general and specific state of this vehicle. I have also documented the condition with a detailed photo gallery. Since you can not inspect the vehicle in person, your evaluation remains purely subjective. So you decide based on my description. Many vehicles are often older than 30 years and have already reached 100,000 miles many years ago. Over the years, they have been maintained differently from the previous owners, by carefully until superficial. A used car therefore shows its usual signs of wear over the years. This is reflected in the overall visual condition of the vehicle. In addition, the quality requirements are not comparable to those of a modern vehicles. The quality of materials used therefore corresponds to the standards of the past. While the visual condition can only be measured by one's own standards, there should be no doubt about the mechanical condition. I therefore attach great importance to the mechanical integrity of a vehicle. However, despite all efforts, it can not be ruled out that sudden repairs may occur in the future. So if you have an understanding of classic cars, I would appreciate your interest very.
