NO RESERVE! HIGH BIDDER WINS... 1975 CADILLAC ELDORADO CONVERTIBLE PLEASE NOTE, ALTHOUGH THE BACK SEAT AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR PANEL ARE NOT INSTALLED IN THE PICTURES, THEY ARE INCLUDED WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR. THIS CAR WOULD BE A GREAT SOURCE FOR PARTS OR A CANDIDATE FOR AN AMBITIOUS RESTORATION. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED A FEW YEARS AGO BY MY FATHER AS AN AMBITIOUS RESTORATION PROJECT ALONG WITH A COUPLE OF OTHER CADILLACS (SEE MY OTHER ITEMS) AND LEFT ON THE BACK BURNER. HE PASSED AWAY BEFORE MAKING ANY SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS, AND THEY ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR YOUR PURCHASE & USE. I DON'T KNOW A GREAT DEAL ABOUT EACH ONE, BUT WILL OUTLINE WHAT I DO KNOW BELOW. IF YOU NEED TO SEE SPECIFIC AREAS, JUST ASK FOR PICTURES & PROVIDE AN EMAIL ADDRESS FOR ME TO SEND THEM TO. JUST TO MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAR, THE ELDORADO WILL BE SOLD WITH STOCK STEEL OEM WHEELS. THE VIDEO SHOWS OTHERWISE, BUT THE CAR IS BEING SOLD WITH STOCK STEEL WHEELS THAT WILL ACCEPT OEM HUBCAPS. Here's a walk around video...copy & paste the link below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqNOuOPMPuI THE GOOD: CLEAR CALIFORNIA TITLE IN HAND, CAR IS CURRENTLY REGISTERED. AS A 1975 MODEL, IT IS SMOG EXEMPT. THIS ALONE MAY BE WORTH THE ACQUISITION TO THOSE WHO FIGHT WITH THE CA SMOG TEST PROCESS. TRUE VEHICLE MILEAGE IS UNKNOWN. THE ENGINE RUNS VERY WELL. MY FATHER PURCHASED THE CAR WITH THE KNOWLEGE THAT THE ORIGINAL 500" V8 HAD BEEN REBUILT. WE WERE NOT GIVEN ANY RECEIPTS TO PROVE THIS, BUT ENOUGH EVIDENCE IS APPARENT TO SUPPORT THE CLAIM. MY FATHER REPLACED THE WATER PUMP, ALTERNATOR, FRONT ENGINE GASKETS & VALVE COVER GASKETS BEFORE REPAINTING THE TOP OF THE ENGINE THE CORRECT COLOR TO CORRECT THE LIGHT BLUE COLOR IT HAD BEEN WEARING. VARIOUS OTHER ITEMS WERE ADDRESSED AS WELL AS HE HAD INTENTIONS OF RETURNING THIS CAR TO A RESPECTABLE, ENJOYABLE EXAMPLE. WHILE I'M SELLING THIS CAR PRIMARILY AS A PARTS CAR, I PERSONALLY HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONS AS DO THE BRAKES. THE BUYER HAS THE OPTION TO TAKE (FOR AN ADDITIONAL $200) AN EXCELLENT RUST-FREE PAIR OF DOORS, FRONT FENDERS, AND DECK LID FROM ANOTHER ELDORADO. THE BAD: INTERIOR HAD BEEN PARTIALLY DISASSEMBLED. THE BACK SEAT AND ASSORTED TRIM IS INCLUDED, BUT I CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT EVERYTHING IS THERE. THE TOP IS COMPLETE, BUT THE MOTOR IS UNTESTED AND IN UNKNOWN MECHANICAL CONDITION. I HAVE NOT INVESTIGATED OR TESTED ANY OF THE OTHER ACCESSORIES, AND CANNOT MAKE A STATEMENT OF THE COMPLETENESS OR FUNCTION. WHILE I CAN ATTEST TO THE FACT THAT THE ELDORADO WILL RUN & MOVE IT NEEDS TO BE JUMP-STARTED, AS IT HAS DEVELOPED AN INTERMITTENT STARTING CIRCUIT ISSUE THAT I HAVE NOT INVESTIGATED. THE BATTERY SHOWN IN THE PICTURES IS NOT INCLUDED, AS IT BELONGS TO ANOTHER CAR. YOU WILL NOTICE SEVERAL UNFINISHED BODY REPAIRS THAT WERE STARTED PRIOR TO OUR OWNERSHIP OF THE CAR. I CAN INCLUDE VERY NICE ORIGINAL BODY PANELS AS NOTED ABOVE AT THE OPTION OF THE WINNING BIDDER (FOR AN ADDITIONAL $200). I HAVE KEYS FOR THE IGNITION AND DOORS, BUT THEY DON'T MATCH THE TRUNK KEY. NO IDEA WHAT'S IN THE TRUNK, BUT I KNOW THE TRUNK PAN HAS A BIT OF RUST-THROUGH. I DO NOT HAVE A KEY TO THE TRUNK. THERE'S SOME RUST ON THE CAR, BUT NOTHING THAT APPEARS STRUCTURAL. PLEASE SEE THE VIDEO AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. THE $750 STARTING PRICE IS WHAT THE LOCAL AUTO DISMANTLER OFFERED ME FOR THE CAR, AFTER HEARING THE ENGINE RUN AND INSPECTING THE CAR. I HATE SEEING OLD CARS GO TO SCRAP, BUT THAT'S THE DESTINATION IF NO ONE BIDS. HIGH-BIDDER TAKES THIS HOME. DON'T BID UNLESS YOU CAN ARRANGE A TRAILER OR TOW COMPANY TO PICK THE CAR UP FROM MODESTO, CA 95356 (WHERE THE CAR IS CURRENTLY LOCATED). I'M ABOUT HALFWAY BETWEEN FRESNO & SACRAMENTO ALONG THE HIGHWAY 99 CORRIDOR. DUE TO THE STORAGE SITUATION, THE CAR WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION PRIOR TO AUCTION'S END. I AM VERY PROMPT WITH SENDING PICTURES & ANSWERING QUESTIONS, AS I REALIZE THE UNEASINESS OF PURCHASING A VEHICLE SIGHT-UNSEEN OTHER THAN BY PICTURES & DESCRIPTION. $500 DEPOSIT DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF AUCTION CLOSING. MUST BE PAID FOR IN FULL VIA PAYPAL, CASH, OR USPS MONEY ORDER WITHIN 72 HOURS OF AUCTION CLOSING, AND PICKED UP WITHIN 14 CALENDAR DAYS OF AUCTION CLOSING. NO EXCEPTIONS, UNLESS PREVIOUSLY AGREED UPON BY BOTH PARTIES. THE CAR IS BEING SOLD AS-IS, WITH NO WARRANTEE WRITTEN OR IMPLIED. IF THE WINNING BIDDER DOESN'T COMPLY WITH PAYMENT/PICKUP REQUIREMENTS, I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SUBMIT A 2nd CHANCE OFFER TO THE NEXT BIDDER OR SELL LOCALLY. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR MORE CARS & PARTS BECOMING AVAILABLE ALL THE TIME. EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS, AND WILL RESPOND PROMPTLY. plate_junkie
