Vehicle Detail
Up for auction is my 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. Triple black with only 94,000 miles. Very original survivor. This Eldo isn't much different than it was 38 years ago when it was sitting on the showroom floor of a Cadillac dealer. I bought this Caddy last summer. I never met the original owner. It was represented by the owner of the garage that has serviced this Eldo for at least the last 30 years. As far as the story goes this car has never been stored. Just garaged kept and easily driven an avg. of only 2500 miles a year. The owner just got to old to keep driving it and finally decided to sell it. When I bought it it had a brand new PA inspection sticker on it. It is still valid and only has about 800 miles since it was put on. The paint is original except the hood was re sprayed about 10 years ago. The hood looks great the rest could use a good detail but still looks pretty good. The black leather interior also still looks very good. Back seat is in great condition. The drivers seat has a small tear in the lower part of the back. Pretty darn good for a 38 year old convertible. Chrome all looks good, wheels are great looking, tires look close to new. The fillers are showing their age, not completely gone but should be replaced. Door panels look great. A couple of small cracks in the dash. The roof isn;t new, not sure if it is original or not. Not ripped up or torn. Boot is good. Roof motor works. One of the cross bars is disengaged. I have only had it down. With a second person you can get it up and down. On my list to get fixed. Starts right up. Runs good. In the shop now getting a valve cover gasket replaced and some new belts installed. Tranny shifts as it should. The windows work. The original radio does not. Air wasn't blowing cold. I haven't had any of the issues diagnosed. After the long winter here in Pgh, I just got it out of the garage last week. I bought this Eldo to keep and drive. Long story short, my daughter got engaged last fall and will be married this fall. The bills are starting to pile up and need to be paid some how. I have a few of my small collection for sale and don't know yet if I have to sell all of them. You know we got her through college and I thought I could finally spend some money on myself. Oh well. Either way, these cars are rare and getting rare each year. If you are local come on by and check it out. Thanks. Email with any questions.
