Vehicle Detail

1972 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. New Tires, recent dual exhaust(sounds sweet). New passenger side CV Shaft. This is a car I only know about the past 12 years of history of. This was a friend of mines who loved this car. He took the wheels off every winter and either covered it or put it in his garage. It was his weekend cruiser. He took good maintenance care of this car. Getting what it needed, when it needed it. A few years ago I towed it when the CV shaft broke. At that point he took the top motor out to replace or have it rebuilt and was going to go through it and do some of the little things that bothered him. It never got there. He recently sold his house and I moved a bunch of items for him and bought the balance. I put the shaft in the front. I wired up the choke so it wouldn't load up while driving. It starts hard due to this. Its the original carb, and everything under the hood is original and intact. I did not want to do anything to change that at this point. The car runs really nice once warmed up and sounds pretty mean. I have only taken this short cruises and one good run on the interstate to make sure it was solid and smooth. I would not hesitate to drive this car just about anywhere, other then the gas mileage is like one of my tow trucks. Car could use a cleaning. I have not made any attempt to clean or cover anything up. It will clean up very nice. I believe the interior to be all original, including carpet which is in great shape. Seats have some stains that should come out. One being when I stepped on the back seat when disconnecting the top arms to make it easy to raise and lower manually. Paint is a 50 mph paint job that is pealing in places.( check last pic on passenger rear quarter.) It was painted years ago and looks like it was a brownish color originally. Its a nice car that gets many compliments around town. Its not a show car, but a very affordable classic, going on antique, driver. The right person could easily take it to the next level or better. No rot on the car. Solid everywhere. Delivery is available. I would be willing to drive it just about anywhere for a fee. But It would be cheaper to fly in to (BTV) Burlington International Airport, and drive out. Airport is 15 minutes from my shop. Very important. Vermont does not issue titles for vehicles 15 years or older. This means I can't get one. At all. Most states will allow you to purchase if you get a temp reg from DMV. I cannot do this for you, due to needing an out of state ID to prove the plate is being used for in transit. Check your local DMV. Some will work with just a Bill of Sale. Please keep in mind this car is 40 years old. Please ask questions, Call Anytime Towing 802-878-8467 anytime day or night. I try to describe the items the best I can. I may be missing something. So asking questions helps. I am starting this auction at $2000 with a no reserve. So if you bid, its sold. High bidder takes it. I would only end auction early if I felt there was something wrong with the vehicle. So bid with confidence. I will work on better pictures. I am having some tech problems and I am not a computer person. So these were done with a crappy phone, I apologize. I was required to put something in the title line. There is no title. On Jul-19-13 at 19:16:58 PDT, seller added the following information: I took it for a ride today. I forgot a detail that may have some importance. There is a aftermarket key switch that operates the car. The one on the column is not in use anymore. The aftermarket switch operates the same as the original with positioning. Sorry that I forgot this.
