1976 Cadillac Eldorado Base Convertible 2-door 8.2l on 2040-cars
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. Triple black with only 94,000 miles. Very original survivor. This Eldo isn't much different than it was 38 years ago when it was sitting on the showroom floor of a Cadillac dealer. I bought this Caddy last summer. I never met the original owner. It was represented by the owner of the garage that has serviced this Eldo for at least the last 30 years. As far as the story goes this car has never been stored. Just garaged kept and easily driven an avg. of only 2500 miles a year. The owner just got to old to keep driving it and finally decided to sell it. When I bought it it had a brand new PA inspection sticker on it. It is still valid and only has about 800 miles since it was put on. The paint is original except the hood was re sprayed about 10 years ago. The hood looks great the rest could use a good detail but still looks pretty good. The black leather interior also still looks very good. Back seat is in great condition. The drivers seat has a small tear in the lower part of the back. Pretty darn good for a 38 year old convertible. Chrome all looks good, wheels are great looking, tires look close to new. The fillers are showing their age, not completely gone but should be replaced. Door panels look great. A couple of small cracks in the dash. The roof isn;t new, not sure if it is original or not. Not ripped up or torn. Boot is good. Roof motor works. One of the cross bars is disengaged. I have only had it down. With a second person you can get it up and down. On my list to get fixed. Starts right up. Runs good. In the shop now getting a valve cover gasket replaced and some new belts installed. Tranny shifts as it should. The windows work. The original radio does not. Air wasn't blowing cold. I haven't had any of the issues diagnosed. After the long winter here in Pgh, I just got it out of the garage last week. I bought this Eldo to keep and drive. Long story short, my daughter got engaged last fall and will be married this fall. The bills are starting to pile up and need to be paid some how. I have a few of my small collection for sale and don't know yet if I have to sell all of them. You know we got her through college and I thought I could finally spend some money on myself. Oh well. Either way, these cars are rare and getting rare each year. If you are local come on by and check it out. Thanks. Email with any questions.

Cadillac ATS-V shares track time and new face with CTS-V sibling
Tue, 24 Jun 2014It's been about eight months since we last heard anything on the eagerly anticipated Cadillac ATS-V, meaning it was high time a new batch of photos arrived of the twin-turbocharged, V6-powered sedan.
This latest round includes a shot of the hot ATS-V alongside the upcoming CTS-V, allowing us to glimpse through the camouflage and spot the family resemblance between the two über sedans. According to our spies, this is the first time we've gotten a look at the ATS-V's fascia without a nose bra to obscure larger details. This isn't the first time we've seen a vertically slated grille on an in-development Cadillac V car, although it is the first time we've seen it on the ATS-V. Aside from the main grille, the shapes of the sportier front fascia of the ATS-V tie in nicely with its big brother. We are rather curious about the hood on the ATS-V. It's difficult to tell from these images, but it looks like there may be some vents up there that may be meant to improve cooling to the alleged 425-horsepower engine.
Other details that we can see include swollen fenders and larger wheels that hide amplified brakes. The rear of the car remains heavily obscured by camo, with the sole details of note being the quad exhausts, which we've spotted on previous ATS-V prototypes.
Consumer Reports loves the 2014 Cadillac CTS
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Our first drive of the 2014 Cadillac CTS was just published today... we really liked the Vsport version. And Consumer Reports has some even stronger words of praise for the all-new luxury sedan. We already knew that Cadillac had stepped up its game with the third-gen CTS, but CR bluntly states that the sedan drives better than its German luxury counterparts.
While CR shows plenty of love for the new CTS, the outlet still takes issue with some of the in-car technology including the CUE infotainment system - no surprise there. The testers' offer all manner of positive comments where the impressive handling capabilities of the sedan are concerned, with lots of drifting around CR's private test facility in evidence to bear them out. Scroll down to watch the CTS get put through its paces.
Cadillac dealers get $5,000 incentive for ELR test drives
Tue, 13 May 2014The 530 Cadillac dealers - out of 940 total dealers - that signed on to sell the brand's ELR for $75,000 or lease it for $699 per month have managed to move 247 of them in the last five months. That's a little less than two cars for each dealer more than two dealers for each car if you need help with the math. With inventories of the luxury plug-in hybrid building up - Automotive News reports a 725-day supply - General Motors has created the Demonstrator Allowance Program to billow the sails on that slow moving ship, giving dealers $5,000 to promote ELR test drives.
A dealer with one ELR in its test fleet that racks up 750 test driven miles between May 1 and June 2 earns the fifty Benjamins, a dealer with two ELRs in the test fleet will get one hundred Benjamins. That will be added to summer incentives for dealers that pay $2,000 for units sold in July and $1,000 for units sold in August, while on the customer side, Cadillac has put "customer discount certificates" worth $3,000 on the hood for buyers and lessees.
Cadillac suggests this is about raising awareness of the ELR, but the question is how much dealers will be able to do for a car that observers - and buyers, apparently - still consider highly overpriced.
