1972 Cadillac Eldorado convertible up for auction. NO RESERVE, bid early and often, top bidder gets her! 500 8.2 Liter V8, 91k original miles, rare factory silver paint. The 1972 Eldo has the pre-emissions high compression 500 V8, lots of power and acceleration for such a big car. Rebuilt transmission in 2005, shifts really easily. New exhaust system from y-pipe back in 2008, done right with Walker muffler and resonator. Front end in good shape; I did new front axle driveshafts when I got her last spring, no play in steering wheel or wandering on the highway. I also did new master cylinder, front brake pads and brake lines as well as two new front tires and a tuneup at the same time. Caddy has a nice firm brake pedal. Power windows work but can be slow, back windows need help going up. Interior is nice, leather in decent shape, carpet not ripped but could use a good cleaning or replacing ($125 on ebay for matched color carpet). Heat works; air conditioning compressor turns on but does not blow cold. Caddy could use a new paint job, some bubbling in quarters. Floors and frame in solid condition, never patched. Will need a new convertible top and a new convertible motor, top can be put up and down manually, I can cover the the top for transport. I was going to redo the convertible top but never got around to it; I purchased and will include a used top motor, relay, lifter arms and cables. Boot cover in great shape, snaps into place perfectly. Original 8-track radio lights up, speakers could be bad. I can include a working cassette radio which will fit the dash if requested. 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, no pulling or fading. 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, even fender light indicators. Bought to fix up because she's basically so solid but now I don't have the time and money, same old story. VIN is 6L6S2Q411479. Will include 20 Inch Chrome wheels with Falken tires I bought for the Eldo for an additional $600, paid over $1600 for set. Pic of wheels at bottom- hard to find aftermarket wheels that fit his old girl! Nice candidate for restoration or drive as is as a fair weather cruiser, a pleasure on the highway and driving around town. I always get smiles and "thumbs up" when I take her out. Nice classic Caddy which will only appreciate in value!
