CAR HISTORY:
This car came with no documentation. All the information and history for the car is what I was told by the previous owner. The extent of his video and picture documentation was enough for me. I'm a car guy. I purchased this car completely impetuously this past June with the intent of just keeping it for hte summer. Always wanted one. Unfortunately I live in New York City and quickly realized that storing and dealing with a 20 foot car was going to suck all the joy out if its ownership. I've put about 1,000 miles on the car. It has been sitting garaged in New Jersey since late September. Originally I wanted to hang on to it until 2016 when it would be a 40 year anniversary, but it's just too much of a hassle. The follks who've been letting me store the car, sold their house, and it's just become too much of a pain in the a**. The following is the history of the car as told to me by the previous owner. This car was purchased new in
a dealership in Ft. Myers Florida in 1975. In 1988 the car was sold to
the second owner In Garfield, New Jersey. It was utilized until early 1994
and it was parked in storage until 1998 when it was purchased by the third
and previous registered owner, a member of the North Jersey Cadillac Club (sticker still on car). The car at that point was in need of some refreshing. In
1999-2000 It was restored with new paint (oem color, Calumet Cream), and it was brought up to
driving conditions. New fluids, wires, plugs etc. It was registered and
kept in a garage in the owners home. Since 2003 the car has had limited use and has largely been garaged by the owner at his house. In preparation for getting the car ready for sale, the previous owner, put a new top
on the car and fixed a few minor electrical glitches. The car
is ALL ORIGINAL. I have not replaced anything besides the top, engine oil,
and brakes (rear). It starts runs and drives very well!! Like a Cadillac should. The miles on the car read 13,468.
Ok, so that's from the previous owner, and this is from me. I do not believe the car is 13000 miles. It only has a 5 digit odometer, which reads 13,468, but i believe its actually 113,468. I believe that the vast majority of the '76 Eldorado Convertibles for sale on EBay are 100,000+ miles cars and not the super low mileage cars their owners misrepresent them to be. If that was the case it would seem that all 14,000 convertibles made in '76, were all immediately put away and never driven. I believe the odometer has not been tempered with or that it has rolled over more than once. In addition to the work done by the owner, i have relocated and rewired the convertible switch, replaced the convertible motor and replaced the muffler. Other than that the car is good to go. The 1,000 or so miles that I've put on it this summer were exclusively highway miles. I took it on a 350 mile round trip. The car ran like a champ and cruised at 75-80 effortlessly. I also had a chance to take the car on a private race track. Hey when do you get a chance to take a 76 Caddy on a 9 turn, banked, 1.5 mile track? I figured I had this chance and took it. Video shows car in action. I was incredibly surprised as to the responsiveness of the steering and how well this boat cornered You can see 100+ photos (taken by previous owner) and 3 videos of the car. The first video is the car on the race track. The other two were video provided by the previous owner. The previous owner took incredible care to document the car and, to be honest, did a much better job than i could have. Thats why I used his pictures, videos and description.

The car is very clean and quite nice for its age. The interior is
complete and is ALL original, with the original parts buttons,
leather, carpets and radio. The carpets and panels are all intact. All of the
glass is original and in great condition. The car does show its age a bit in
the leather, (has faded a bit, and look old. see pictures) but I believe can be reconditioned with a little elbow grease and Leather Honey. This car has a new convertible top, new convertible motor, recent oil, coolant and brake fluids, new rear brakes
(calipers), new filters. This car starts, runs and drives GREAT. It is very
smooth and quiet. The car idles smoothly,
has a new muffler, and the carburetor has been tuned. The
transmission shifts well, tires are in excellent condition, the
A/C blows but needs to be charged. The AC has been converted to 134A Refrigerant. The windows all
work however they need to be adjusted (not sure how to do this) the rear
windows especially. The AM/FM stereo system works well!! It is OEM and automatic search functions work. The heat works great. The Power Seats motor works (you can hear it) but does not move the seat front and back. I'm 6 feet, and its perfect for me. The
interior lights are 100%, The windshield wipers and window washers work
well, but the wipers need to be replaced. The speedometer and all of the warning lamps are also up to par. The
floor pans and undercarriage is SOLID. Under the hood, it looks good, someone
painted a few things (i.e the inner fender wells, fire wall and radiator
support. The hood liner is OEM and everything is good but does show
some age. This car also has a new battery. The chrome looks
great, has only one spot where it could use attention (see pictures). The lights
and all electronics work. The trunk is self closing and it works. It has
all of the jacks and spare tire with covers. Its a complete car. This car is
NOT museum quality, but it is a bargain at the reserve price which I WILL NOT
disclose. It is Ready to be driven and put on the road. YOU WILL NOT BE
DISAPPOINTED..

The US sales issues facing Cadillac are not being paralleled in the People's Republic of China, as a new report from Automotive News indicates the US luxury maker should see its sales increase by as much as 40 percent. The report cites Cadillac's own forecasts, which put its 2014 sales in the PRC at 70,000 units after cresting 45,000 vehicles at the end of August. Provided the sales pace holds true through 2015, the brand would hit its new 100,000-unit sales goal, AN reports. "We're very optimistic about the luxury market, we believe that the luxury market by 2016 here will become the largest luxury market in the world, surpassing even the size of luxury in Europe," GM China President Matthew Tsien told AN. "With [Cadillac president] Johan [de Nysschen], we have somebody that really is an executive that understands luxury, but he also is very, very keen on understanding what do we need here in China for Cadillac to be successful."

There are more recalls to report General Motors, but these latest actions pertain to newer examples of the Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD. With so much scrutiny on the company's recall strategy, GM is under increasing pressure to call in defective models more quickly, and it appears to be doing so here. Here in the US, the automaker is recalling 50,571 Cadillac SRX crossovers from the 2013 model year fitted with the 3.6-liter V6 because the transmission control module programming can cause a three- or four-second lag in acceleration at low speeds. The explanation filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states, "if the following sequence occurs within two seconds: during an upshift from first to second gear (8-10 mph), the driver then brakes the vehicle to less than 5 mph, and then accelerates again," the delay can occur. According to Automotive News, the recall effects 56,400 vehicles worldwide, and the company is not aware of any crashes caused by the problem. The fix consists of a transmission control module (TCM) reflash. In a separate recall, GM is repairing 51 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD pickups from the 2015 model year in the US. In vehicles with diesel engines and dual fuel tanks, the nuts that connect the fuel pipe to each side of the transfer pump between the tanks may be improperly torqued, which could cause a fuel leak. Obviously, this could be a fire hazard. The remedy is simply tightening the hardware. According to GM spokesperson Alan Adler, there have been no fires actually caused by the potential leak. "Only 21 of the trucks are in customer possession and they can be fixed anytime because there are no parts involved. The others are being fixed at dealerships," Adler said in an email to Autoblog.

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV. GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017. Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
