I am the second owner of this saved 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe. The 1st owner after replacing a leaking windshield had it to leak again, so he bought a new car, built a 2"x12" lumber wooden crate and stored this 76 Eldorado in his heated RV Bldg. from 1968 until I bought it in 2012. The windshield has sealed itself over time. The yellow leather is soft and clean, and the headliner and sun visors are in very great shape without any holes in them. The carpet has some small stains that may come out with soap and water, but I haven't tried that yet. All the glass is nice. The yellow paint is drivable but needs repaint or touchup to be perfect. The padded top has some small cracks in the surface and some small rust stains at chrome lines. The chrome band that trims behind the back glass has popped a plastic connecter, so the trim has popped up and apart, but isn't broken. There is no broken trim anywhere. The trunk has a solid floor, the trunk lid has typical surface rust at the drip edge that you can see in trunk pictures. It needs to be sanded and repainted. A tree limb blew onto the once perfect body and as you can see in two pictures, it put two small dents in it, one the left fender and one in the hood. The plastic bumper filler on all four corners have cracked and I removed them thinking that I would get some new ones, they are remanufactured for replacement. The low mileage 500ci engine, after having the oil changed and using clean gasoline cranked up right away and ran good. I pulled the valve covers, cleaned the covers, cleaned the rocker arm assembles by taking them and the pushrods out and cleaning them thoroughly. The water pump was leaking, so I pulled the pump off and replaced it with a new one. I cleaned all the pulleys, braces, radiator, new hose, and painted the metal components Cadillac blue before installing them. The nice nostalgic CB unit and gear are still mounted to left of the steering wheel. The lights and gauges all work including the interior lamps. The front grill is all complete without any damage The car starts, runs but can't be driven far, because the tires are old and 2 won't hold air for over a day. Needs new set of tires There is still a water leak under the engine area and I can't do the work anymore which is the reason for selling the car. I have developed a serious muscle and nerve disorder that won't let me get up and down or use my hands very well. I got a new Texas title in my name, got new Texas plates when I bought it. The catalytic convertor is good, but needs a new muffler. If I had stayed in good health, I would complete this beautiful 1976 model, but I would be pleased to get some of my investment back, good luck bidding if you also like this body style. I have shipped a car before with a hauler just 100 miles away and he is fair. I could get you in touch with his office if you need a hauler, and I will do what I can to answer other question, just send me a note through my listing on e-bay. call 325-201-4710 cell, Jerry located 100 miles west of Fort Worth near Abilene, Texas On Apr-20-13 at 15:41:09 PDT, seller added the following information: I am the second owner of this saved 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe. UPDATE for those who asked about the rough edge on the front fenders, The metal fender is smooth, it is the left broken white rugged plastic insert that you see still there.
