1966 Cadillac Eldorado - Convertible - Excellent Driver & Ready For Summer! on 2040-cars

1966 Cadillac Eldorados are Extremely Rare! This Car is a Daily Driver! This Eldorado is a wonderful daily driver and a real head-turner! It is incredibly original and in excellent condition inside and out. Very few were made in this color combination of Tropic Green Firemist (basically a metallic green) and white leather with black accents. The interior is absolutely beautiful. Factory wood grain trim and door panels are in excellent condition. The dash is gorgeous as are all chrome and trim pieces. Gauges are clear and all operate as they should. Like most Eldorados, this car is equipped with several options. Features include climate control air conditioning, power windows, 8 way power seats, power steering and power brakes, AM-FM stereo, speed washer wipers, tilt & telescopic steering wheel and more. Even the clock still works (the original mechanicals have been upgraded to quartz movement). All lights and safety features work as they should. The A/C compressor, however, needs to be replaced, but it is a standard Delco part that is readily available and not expensive. The AM-FM stereo is particularly great. It is original to the car, but but I had the insides rebuilt with new modern components by S&M Electro-Tech. You can connect an iPod or other external source and play it through your original radio! (See http://www.turnswitch. The original, numbers-matching 429ci engine gets works wonderfully and gets plenty of power from its 340hp. The engine has just over 70,000 miles on the odometer. The GM Turbo Hydramatic TH400 automatic transmission shifts perfectly. This Eldo starts right up, drives straight, smooth and quietly. Dual servo self adjusting brakes were standard on the Eldorado. Stopping is a breeze --you will have plenty of time to wave at the people admiring your car and complimenting you on its condition. History and Maintenance This car has been extremely well maintained throughout its life. It has been kept in a heated garage during my ownership, and does not appear to have ever been parked outside for long periods of time. As noted above, this car was one of the last Eldorados that rolled out of Cadillac's Clark Street factory in 1966. It was completed in the second week of June, 1966, about 6 weeks before Cadillac began retooling for the 1967 model year. My research indicates that I am the Eldorado's third owner. It was originally sold in Michigan and then spent some time in Pennsylvania before it began attracting attention in Chicago in 2006. I have owned this Eldorado since June 2006, and have complete service records since then. I have used mechanics who specialize in maintenance and service of classic vehicles. Documentation includes original owners manual, Cadillac data/build sheet, replicated window sticker and more. Payment and Shipment If you are interested in mechanical inspection, message me to arrange it. You will pay the mechanic's fees, if any, associated with the inspection. Winning bidder must PayPal or wire transfer $1,000 within 2 days of auction closing with the balance due within three days thereafter (or as otherwise agreed upon). Winning bidder is responsible for shipping expenses (I can recommend a good auto transportation company). This vehicle is sold as is, where is and with all faults. This is a shipment contract within the meaning of section 2-509 of the Uniform Commercial Code. This is a true investment grade Cadillac Eldorado. Cadillacs are on the move these days, especially the Eldorados. This is one of the nicest out there. Get it now and enjoy the summer with the top down! |

Is Lincoln MKC cutting into Cadillac SRX sales?
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The two big American luxury brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are on surprisingly similar paths at the moment with both divisions hoping to redefine themselves and grow popularity. They're still early in the process with no clear winner yet, but things might actually be looking up for Lincoln's latest model, according to a monthly sales analysis from The Motley Fool. It seems, at least early on, that the new MKC crossover might be taking a bite out of the Cadillac SRX's growth.
The MKC launched just a few months ago and has been getting a big marketing push from a series of oft-mocked ads starring the smooth-talking Matthew McConaughey. The luxury CUV has been the popular, new kid on the block with growing sales since its introduction. While smaller than the SRX, the Lincoln starts at a lower price and offers better fuel economy.
Through June, the SRX performed well with sales up over 20 percent on average through June, according to The Motley Fool. However, July and August saw things plummet with year-over-year drops of 7 percent and 37 percent, respectively. It still far outsold the MKC in terms of actual units in a given month, but the Caddy's continued growth has appeared to stagnate.
Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
Is Cadillac working on an ELR-V? [w/video]
Mon, 12 May 2014Could it be? Could Cadillac be working on an even higher-end version of its ELR plug-in hybrid? Well, General Motors' Executive Vice President Mark Reuss has gone on record as... well, not saying much. The exec was more than a bit coy on video (which you can view below) when asked about the idea of an ELR-V, although he did say that Cadillac was looking at "expanding the tuning envelope" for its plug-in coupe. What that means could be hinted at in these spy photos.
Cadillac is certainly up to something with this little red ELR. As is often the case, it's the car's enhanced brakes that give it away. Bigger binders are a telltale sign of sportier aspirations, and it's safe to say that rule applies with the ELR. The larger rotors and four-piston Brembo calipers are sourced from the Buick Regal GS, which we imagine would be plenty to bring the high-priced hybrid to a halt.
Obscuring those rotors and calipers are larger, double-armed five-spoke wheels. And, according to our spies, hiding behind that camouflage is a new grille. Outside of those two items, though, there's not much aesthetic change.
