1974 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible, 500 ci, FWDCar was bought and stored in 1988 with 41,500 original miles. Car appears to have no rot and to be solid throughout. Car runs and drives. Running project car to drive as you restore or give it TLC. It is not perfect, and while I don’t know the previous history or ownership of the car prior to 1988, I can see where parts of the car were repainted before 1988 and see a spot of surface rust where paint chipped off shown in one of the pictures. From what I can see, other than the radio, the car is mostly original. The interior isn’t perfect, but it is very, very nice for 44 years old. There is very little wear to the carpets and the seats, looks like they'll clean up nice with some attention. Has the original floor mats and owner’s manual still in the glove box. Clock in the dash works and seems to keep time. Oddly enough, it doesn’t leak fluids on my garage floor as I would expect. Door panels cracked and convertible top is rough. Car is registered and has current PA inspection. I have over a $1,000 in parts receipts waking this car up from the 30-year sleep. It needs some attention, but if someone wants an Eldorado convertible, I think it's a good start. Those that know these cars are familiar with the plastic filler panels from the bumper to the body and that very few have not needed them to be replaced front and rear. Full sets are available from reproduction vendors. Another seemingly common issue is the exhaust manifolds. I replaced the left/driver’s side manifold that was cracked and installed new manifold gaskets on both sides. Changed the oil and filter. New tires, battery, starter, front brake pads and rotors, master cylinder, typical of cars stored for periods of time. Car seems to handle the road as it should. Had the top down and back up with the motors running after sitting for 30 years, but had to get a friend over to help me get it latched back down. I would imagine it needs to be lubed and the adjustment gone over. Bought a new cap, rotor, points, condensor, plugs and wires today, if I don't get to it by auction's end, I will send them with the car.Look over the pictures, while not a Cadillac expert, I will attempt to answer any questions about the function or condition of the car the best I can. I've been driving the car the last few days to work. Don't ask me what the low reserve is or to stop the auction for a "buy it now". Buyer has all pick-up and shipping responsibilities from 18073. Deposit via PayPal within 24 hours. Balance must be paid and car picked up within 10 days of auction’s end.
