For sale a very nice useable Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. 1976 last year. Dual power seats, no tears, original leather. Dash with one tiny (see picture) seam to left of instrument panel – mostly unnoticeable. Door panels in fabulous shape. Chrome is very clean. Has hard boot in matching paint in trunk bag. AC works. New Hankook tires 235/75 R15 in the last few months, less than 500 miles. Fuel injected engine rebuilt in last 2500 miles. What does this car need – eventually a new top – this one is serviceable, but aging, and a fix to the power antenna. That’s it. Drives very nicely now. Look at the pics – judge for yourself. Light yellow / ivory exterior, tan / gold interior - very nice. Offered with no reserve at $125 starting price to cover cost of listing. This is a used vehicle, and is sold as is, where is. I am a private individual selling from my collection which needs whittling down. I had almost 20 cars, now selling the last few – saved the best for last.

Rust - It has nothing that's coming through the body in the usually suspect visible places. Would I drive a 40+ year old car 1000 miles - ahhhhhh - not me - I like flying in first class - car would go by truck. It drives fine. This specific car has new Hankook tires and drives well. How much would it cost to get in "great" condition - I'll tell you that I spent $45K on my 1972 Eldorado, and $100K on the DeVille. So I'm the wrong person to ask. That said, the AC works, the antenna works - but needs some lube and care, the top needs replacing at some point, and I think that's it. Replace the wiper blades. This car has a rebuilt engine, so I think we got most of the heavy stuff done. We did not touch the trans - so it's still original. Because of it's age - I would replace every piece of rubber hose for coolant, heating, and A/C, and seals like at the differential, etc. Flush the brakes. So ... instead of driving it, I'd put it on a trailer or a truck to get it home, drive it locally without issue, and slowly fix the above. On Sep-18-18 at 08:19:07 PDT, seller added the following information: I am adding this note: This car is NOT stripped of parts. It is not a rusty bucket. The paint is decent and looks good from ten feet. As each sits it’s an occasional special occasion machine, and is a great candidate for a full restoration. It runs and drives. The condition is between that of #3 and #4 if you were to look at the publication “Old Car Report”. As a 40+ year old car I would caution you that all the rubber on the car, including the tires (unless specifically stated that they have been replaced), all the hoses – whether water, A/C, or vacuum, and all rubber or rubber like seals will probably need to be replaced. So will the weather strip seals around the windows. The A/C when charged runs cold in each case. That does not mean I promise you that it will hold a charge – simply that it has for the last two months. The tops on the convertibles work and are weather tight. The power windows work. None of the cruise controls work – my guess is vacuum lines need replacement – but I don’t know for sure. They all look nice and all will need work. The value assigned to the convertibles is between $7800 for a #4, to $17,500 for a #3. I would judge each convertible as being a $10,000 value if I were buying it, and is about what I paid for each of them. The value assigned to the coupes is $3800 (#4) - $8550 (#3) for the 1976 Blue and 1977 White coupes both. I would judge the coupes as being a $5000 value for the blue coupe, and a $9500 value for the white Biarritz, and is about what I paid for them.
