This is a 1970 Cadillac Eldorado California car with NO RUST. 500ci with 400hp V8. It has UNDER 100,000 ORIGINAL MILES. The car starts and runs. It is a 2 owner car that has always been in Cali. The car has been re-painted once. The original color was gold, but it is now painted brown. The body of the car is in really good shape besides the dent on the front driver side fender and the back right tail light. The vinyl top is missing, and the top has been painted. It is missing one hubcap. The 2 back tail lights are broken and the back right one is a little bit dented. The car rolled off the car carrier and hit a car very slow with the front bumper. The bumper is bent a little bit and the grille as well. The grille is off the car but is in the trunk. That area needs a little work. It has great lines. The headliner is ok, but it has a slash in it. And the interior needs work for sure. Seats are thrashed, and the dash and door pannels have some cracks. The radio, 8 Track, and windows are not working, but it should just be a fuse. The driver side window is rolled down about an inch and is stuck, and the passenger window is missing. This car can be great with some work and TLC. The best parts are the engine and the body. Buyer will be responsible for paying all shipping costs. The Eldorado was radically redesigned for 1967. Intended for the burgeoning personal luxury car market, it was a "personal" Cadillac sharing the E-body with theOldsmobile Toronado, which had been introduced the previous year. Cadillac adopted the Toronado's Unified Powerplant Package and front-wheel drive. (Contrary to popular belief, the similar Buick Riviera did not use the front-wheel drive setup until 1979.) The Eldorado used a standard Cadillac 429 V8 with a modified Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission (THM425, based on the Turbo-Hydramatic 400) with the torque converter mounted next to the planetary gearbox, driving it through a metal chain.Despite sharing underpinnings with the Toronado, the Eldorado's crisp styling, initiated by GM styling chief Bill Mitchell, was distinctive and unique, appearing more angluar than the rounded Toronado. Performance was 0–60 mph (0–96 km/h) in less than nine seconds and a top speed of 120 mph (192 km/h). Roadability and handling were highly praised by contemporary reviews, and its sales, 17,930 units,[5] helped give Cadillac its best year ever.[6] Disc brakes were optional in 1967 and became standard in 1968. The new Eldorado was a great departure from the previous generation, which had become little more than a dressed-up version of Cadillac's Series 62. Sales were excellent despite high list prices.For the 1970 model year, the Eldorado introduced the new 500 cu in (8.2 l) V8 engine, the largest-ever production V8, rated SAE gross 400 hp (298 kW) and 550 ft·lbf (746 N·m) in 1970, that would be an Eldorado exclusive until it became standard on all full size Cadillacs in the 1975 model year.
