Vehicle Detail

Up for auction is my 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. Triple black with only 92,000 miles. Very original survivor. 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. Look that up. PA is very strict with their inspection. Frame, underbody brakes and a long list of things must pass to get the sticker. It is still valid and only has about 600 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. I just had it in the shop to get 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 month. 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 rarer each year. If you are local come on by and check it out. Thanks. Email with any questions. An update. The Eldo is in the shop now getting a brand new full set of bumper fillers installed. The cost of the fillers plus installation has cost me about $1000.00. They are black. They will not be painted. The Caddy will be sold in this condition. If it doesn't hit the reserve I will most likely have my guy paint everything except the hood. I will keep it and drive it through the summer. Last chance. Please do not bid unless you really want the car. The car was auctioned off a couple of weeks ago, it hit the reserve and should have been sold. The high bidder didn't and wouldn't respond to any communication. I don't understand why someone would bid and then not respond. If you win the bid and come to pick up the car and it is not as described then there is no obligation. I have no intentions of mis leading anyone. If you are new to ebay or have a low score, you must contact me before bidding or I will cancel your bid. Thanks for your interest.
