Very Nice Chrome Recent Repaint New Upholstery Solid Arizona car with no rust issues The new Eldorado was a great departure from the previous generation, which had become little more than a dressed-up version of Cadillac's Deville. Its crisp styling, initiated by GM styling chief Bill Mitchell, was distinctive and unique, more angular than the streamlined Riviera and Toronado. Performance was 0–60 mph in less than nine seconds and a top speed of 120 mph. Roadability and handling were highly praised by contemporary reviews, and sales were excellent despite high list prices. Its sales of 17,930 units, nearly three times the previous Eldorado high, helped give Cadillac its best year ever. In 1968, the Eldorado received Cadillac's new 375 hp (280 kW) (SAE gross) 472 cu in (7.7 L) V8, and disc brakes became standard. Only slight exterior changes were made to comply with new federal safety legislation. Sales set another record at 24,528, with Eldorados accounting for nearly 11% of all Cadillacs sold. Hate to sell, but too many cars, too many Cadillac's. Solid AZ desert car with no rust problems. Good looking car with great lines. Nice driver. I know it runs great - I drove it from Phoenix. (car is in OH now) When I bought this, it was a "low-rider" that was "bagged". We restored the entire suspension, back to original with leaf springs, new brake pads, rear slave cylinders, rotor, ball joints, tie rods, shocks, alignment and other front-end work. Transmission just rebuilt for $2,000. Engine was gone over by previous owner Brand New upholstery! Nice dash and headliner - nice interior overall Custom stereo with Infinity speakers and Sony head unit. I have many receipts from my work, and the former owner. I have over $14,000 invested plus a lot of time. Clear Ohio title and copy of the previous Arizona title. Title/odometer shows 28,275 miles (128,275) Inspections welcome. I am not a dealer. I am not an expert. I am just an old guy who likes old cars. I make no claims and offer no warranty. Please inspect the car if you like it. Buyer must pick up the car, but we can assist shipper if needed. More photos available on photo site - just ask I can email many more photos with link to photobucket
