1973 CADILLAC ELDORADO CONVERTIBLE, VERY GOOD MECHANICAL CONDITION, RUNS AND DRIVES FINE, MANY MANY REPLACEMENT PARTS FROM PARTS CAR.

COMPLETE CAR BUT WILL BE A MAJOR RESTORATION PROJECT.

HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 14 YEARS DURING WHICH TIME HAVE REPLACED TRANSMISSION AND MUCH OF FRONT END WITH PARTS FROM 42K MILE PARTS CAR.

PROBABLY BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN CAR IS BY THE GOOD AND BAD. FIRST THE GOOD:

++++92000 ORIGINAL MILES. HAD 89OOO ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN 1997.

+++TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY SMOOTHLY +++ LESS THAN 1000 MILES SINCE REPLACED FROM PARTS CAR.

+++ENGINE RUNS EXCELLENTLY. 4-BARREL ROCHESTER REBUILT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

+++SEATS AND MUCH OF INTERIOR FROM A DIFFERENT PARTS CAR+++ PRETTY GOOD SHAPE.

+++SOME INTERIOR DOOR PANELS HAVE BEEN RE-DONE AND SOME ARE ORIGINAL FROM A '74 WHERE FRONT DOOR PANELS REPLACED.

+++FRONT TIRES ARE ALMOST NEW. LESS THAN 100 MILES ON THEM. REAR TIRES IN GOOD SHAPE,

+++DASH HAS NO CRACKS!!!  HARD TO FIND ONE WITHOUT CRACKS.

+++BODY IN FAIR SHAPE, ALL THERE, NOTHING MISSING.

+++CONVERTIBLE TOP MECHANISM ALL THERE BUT TOP MOTOR INOP+++

+++ALL GLASS IS PRESENT AND RECALL THAT ALL WINDOW MOTORS WORK THOUGH SLOWLY.

++++GOOD BATTERY++++

++++LOTS OF SPARE PARTS PER PHOTOS.

THE BAD:

+++RUSTED OUT REAR FLOOR PANELS AND SOME UNDER REAR SEAT+++

+++CONVERTIBLE TOP IS IN PIECES, HAVEN'T HAD IT UP IN SEVERAL YEARS.+++

+++SOME "BODY CANCER" ON LOWER PANELS AS SHOWN.+++

+++MISSING A COUPLE OF THE LOWER CHROME PANELS.

+++STEERING WHEEL HAS NUMEROUS CRACKS AS SHOWN.
(DO HAVE SPARE WHEEL AND COLUMN IN TRUNK. THE WHEEL ON SPARE IS IN BETTER SHAPE BUT IS BROWN.

+++HAS EXHAUST LEAK THAT SOUNDS LIKE MUFFLER GONE. BELIEVE IS HEADER PIPE THAT IS EITHER CRACKED OR RUSTED)

I USED THIS CAR FOR AN OCCASIONAL DRIVER FOR A LONG TIME . HAD INTENTIONS OF RESTORING BUT I DON'T HAVE THE BODY REPAIR SKILLS AND TIME NEEDED. 

SO -- OFFERING TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO HOPEFULLY WILL WANT TO RESTORE IT TO WHAT IT CAN BE.

REMEMBER THAT THIS WHITE/RED ELDO IS THE SAME BASIC CAR AS THE 1976 CLASSIC "LAST AMERICAN CONVERTIBLE" ELDO THAT IS NOW SUPER COLLECTIBLE.

CAR HAS BEEN MY PERSONAL CAR BUT IS TITLED TO THE USED CAR DEALERSHIP WITH WHICH I AM LICENSED. C & S AUTOMOBILE COMPANY, UTAH DEALER # 2616.

YOU COULD PROBABLY DRIVE IT WHEREVER YOU WANT TO TAKE IT BUT WOULD RECOMMEND HAULING JUST BECAUSE HASN'T BEEN DRIVEN VERY FAR IN SEVERAL YEARS.

WOULD HOPE BUYER WOULD RESTORE IT BUT, IF  YOU'RE GOOD AT THIS,YOU COULD PROBABLY PART IT OUT FOR MUCH MORE THAN ASKING HERE.

I REALIZE THAT BUYING A "PROJECT" CAR SIGHT UNSEEN IS DIFFERENT. I HAVE TRIED TO ACCURATELY REPRESENT THE CAR SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING. HOWEVER, IF YOU COME TO PICK UP CAR AND DON'T FEEL I ACCURATELY REPRESENTED IT, I WILL GIVE  YOU BACK HALF THE DEPOSIT ($250) AND WE'RE GOOD.

THIS IS A +++NO RESERVE+++ AUCTION SO HIGH BIDDER WILL DEFINITELY WIN. PLEASE +++DON'T BID+++ UNLESS READY AND ABLE TO PURCHASE.

IF NEW TO EBAY (LESS THAN 10 FEEDBACKS) PLEASE EMAIL ME YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION BEFORE BIDDING. THINK THAT FAIR AS  MY FEEDBACK RECORD SPEAKS FOR MY INTEGRITY AS A SELLER.

THANKS FOR LOOKING AND KEEP PRAYING FOR OUR TROOPS WORLDWIDE! (USAF, USAR, RET)
