Rare 1981 Eldorado Convertible up for auction with NO RESERVE

Fuel injected 368 V8, 94k original miles. True dependable Caddy 368, not the underpowered HT4100 engine found in the 82 and up models. The previous owner told me that all the 4-6-8 components were removed by Cadillac dealer when it was new, now it's a smooth running, dependable fuel injected 368. With the overdrive transmission the Caddy will get over 20 mpg on the highway. Digital dash, digital climate control, power top with automatic window lowering and raising with top operation. Original cadillac AM/FM stereo cassette (working), automatic ride leveling (also operational), tilting, tescoping wheel, automatic headlights and triple fender light indicators. C&C (Classic Cadillac) full size chrome grill with extra chrome section for nose of hood, very sharp looking.

Mechanically the Caddy has four new whitewall radials (less than 500 miles on them), fuel injection service (cleaning and replacement of a couple of injectors) recent brakes, tuneup, some new exhaust parts, oil change and belts and hoses. The digital dash is intermittent, will display properly then the numbers will flicker. The driver's power seat is intermittent as well, the switch needs cleaning or replacing. The top and windows work properly, all raise and lower at once. The engine compartment is remarkably clean. The engine turns over easily, the fuel injection allowing a simple turn of the key to start the car.

Cosmetically the Eldorado shows very well, repainted about ten years ago in a nice metallic teal shaded dark blue, close to the original color but with a modern metallic finish, it sparkles in the sun. All the bumper and fender fillers were replaced when the Caddy was painted. Some spots have been touched up in the last couple of years, only visible up close. The bumpers are in good shape, no dents or scratches, the chrome gleams. The seats had some tears in the leather so the previous owner had black heated seat cushions installed  over the pillow top sections, it's very nice for top down cruising on chilly summer nights. An upholstery shop did it; it's held on with strong adhesive and fasteners, it doesn't move when you get in and out of the car. The back seat has a standard  bench seat cover, black to match the front. The dash has two sun cracks in the center, they are almost symmetrical, only noticeable when you're in the car. The door panels and rear panels are nice, the only flaw being a small crack in the vinyl at the top of the driver's door panel where your arm rests when the window is down. The top was replaced in 2000, one area beginning to fray by the rear top driver's side corner. The top is nicely upholstered inside, nice and quiet on the highway when the top and windows are up. The Eldorado has a nice cushioned boot cover to snap on when the top is down. The original spoke hubcaps are in great shape, chrome shines, no dents or scrapes. 

These are all the pix I have right now, I'm away on business and I just found out I'm losing storage. These are the pix I submitted for Classic Insurance, just all four sides with the top up is what they require ($190 a year for full comprehensive). This is a ten day auction and I should be home in time to take a some full size pix of the Caddy all around. If not, you can check my feedback- I'm a classic car nut with a particular fondness for Caddies and buyers have been pretty happy with the cars I've sold. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Eldo is for sale locally and I'm open to buy it now offers as well. Cruises nicely on the highway, holds the road perfectly. Engine starts easily, doesn't leak anything, garage floor always dry when I pull her out. Runs very strong, tracks straight as an arrow and brakes evenly. She idles well, shifts smoothly, stops easily and the suspension is luxurious. Drives overall like a Caddy should. She's roadworthy, all directional/brake/turn signal/headlights work as well as the horn and wipers. The floors, trunk and frame are solid as the Caddy has been a Garage Queen.

Rare, classic Caddy convertible that will only appreciate in value. Any questions feel free to email or call 914-224-3230

Cadillac recalls ELR coupe over stability control problems

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

Cadillac is recalling about 656 2014 ELR models made between September 26, 2013 and February 14, 2014, because of a fault with the electronic stability control system. On cars without adaptive cruise control, it's possible that diagnostics could prevent the system from telling the driver if ESC is on or off.
Cadillac has a software fix ready and repairs begin on April 17. Alan Adler, General Motors' recall and legal spokesperson, tells Autoblog that only about 55 of the affected cars are in the hands of owners. The rest are either on dealer lots or still at the factory. There have been no reported injuries or crashes caused by the fault.
The correction for the stability control system involves a software recalibration of the electronic brake control module that takes around 20 minutes to perform. While they use the same platform, the Chevrolet Volt isn't involved in this recall because it "uses a different a brake control module," said Adler.

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.

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.
