Nice, Low Mileage, Fully Loaded 1983 Cadillac Eldorado Convetible up for auction with NO RESERVE

65k original miles, fuel injected 4.1 V8. Options include power convertible top with boot cover, "Touring Suspension", split bench power seat with pillowtop leather seats, tilt wheel, "Sentinel" auto headlights, cruise control, digital "Symphonic" AM/FM cassette radio,  dual mirrors, remote trunk release with power pulldown, locking wire wheels and the standard power windows, power steering and power disc brakes. 

Mechanical: The Caddy has always been well maintained. Recent work over the last ten years includes new front end work including both front axles/cv joints, shocks, ball joints, and bushings, new exhaust, new alternator and shocks as well as brakes, full tuneup and a recent brand new set of Michelin tires. The climate control works properly and the a/c compressor turns on but only blows cool, it could use a charge of R12 if available or a retrofit to modern freon. I will include a new driver's seat motor, it just needs to be installed. Otherwise, all the amenities work, the AM/FM stereo and cassette (the digital display of the radio station numbers is intermittent), the cruise control, the power windows are quick, the power top works perfectly, the remote trunk release and power pulldown work. I've had several 80's era Eldorados and this one by far runs and handles the best, you don't even feel the engine when you're stopped at a light.

Cosmetics: The car still wears her original paint and still looks pretty good. There is a small spot of bubbling above the driver's rear wheel well, only visible up close and the rear plastic bumper fillers are beginning to crack.The door panels, rear panels dashboard / dash display, headliner and visors are in excellent condition, no cracks, tears or missing parts. The seats are in excellent condition as seen in the pix. The cushioning of the seats feels soft and comfortable. The convertible top was replaced around 2000, now the glass back window is becoming unglued from the convertible top at the bottom. The Caddy has never had any body repair, the floors and frame are solid and the chrome shines nicely. She's never been out in the winter, she's always been a "Garage Queen".

The engine starts easily even after sitting for weeks and the garage floor is always dry when I pull the car out. She cruises nicely on the highway, shifts smoothly, disc brakes stop the car quickly, she idles evenly and the suspension is silky smooth over the roughest roads. On the highway she'll get easily over 20 MPG. The directional/brake/turn signal/headlights/brights work properly, as well as the wipers and  the the external three color fender indicators (lights, brights and turn signal). Drives overall like it would have when driven off the dealer's lot in 1983.

I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Caddy is for sale  locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of shipping to paid by buyer. I can recommend a door to door auto shipper I've used in the past; they're  professional, reliable and have great rates. If you need to get a quote my zip code is 10579.

Classic Cadillac convertible which will only appreciate in value!

Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information.

GM recalling 117,000 sedans, crossovers, SUVs, pickups and vans

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

General Motors has issued a stop-sale to dealers and has notified the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration of its intention to recall 117,000 vehicles in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Of those vehicles, only 4,500 are at dealerships.
The affected vehicles include the Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Impala sedans, fullsize SUVs (Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Tahoe and Suburban and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL), Lambda-platform crossovers (Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia), heavy-duty pickups (Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD) and fullsize vans (Chevy Express and GMC Savana). The sedans and body-on-frame SUVs include model years 2013 and 2014, while the CUVs, heavy-duty pickups and vans are limited to MY2014.
GM confirmed the recall to Autoblog via an emailed statement (which we've included below). According to the statement, the issue at hand in what is the company's 69th recall of 2014 covers the chassis-control module. Automotive News is reporting that a problem in the chassis-control system could cause a short in the module, which could cause the engine to stall or fail to start. The fault could also affect the trailer-brake control, provided it's equipped.

2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe configurator is ready to get personal

Wed, 17 Sep 2014

If you are in the market for a luxury coupe but would prefer it to be American, then you are in luck because the configurator for the 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe is now online.
Prices for the Cadillac start at $38,990 (including the $995 destination fee) for the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 272 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, or $46,145 for the 321-hp, 275-lb-ft 3.6-liter V6. Gearbox options include a six-speed manual on some 2.0 models or a six-speed automatic on both of them, and they can be ordered with all-wheel drive for $2,450 to the four-cylinder or $2,600 to the 3.6.
One thing that Cadillac does especially well here is giving customers a plethora of models and options to choose from. Trim level choices include standard, luxury, performance and premium for the four-cylinder or luxury, performance and premium for the V6. There are also 10 colors available, five of which carry an extra premium of $495 or $995. Upgraded interior packages for $1,295 add improved trim and leather, as well.
