Much money has been spent to make this Eldorado convertible safe and reliable after sitting for 8 years. She
still needs some little things, but you can enjoy this Caddy as you fix her up a bit more.
*** Sports Car / Project Car / Trades Considered ***
This Eldorado convertible was recently re-commissioned after sitting garaged, in New Jersey for 8+ years. It was
purchased in Texas, driven up to New Jersey, used very little, then stored. The odometer shows 55K, I believe it to
be correct, the interior looks as so. The recent (2015) NJ title shows 154K
I just had this Eldorado professionally cleaned / polished on the outside to show the quality of the repaint
(some flaws as pictured) The chrome is very nice with some light weathering at the tops of the bumpers. This
interior will clean up much nicer as well as the engine bay, door jambs, trunk and undersides. There is new weather
stripping for the trunk, no leaks, but could use replacement.
Some of the work performed within the last 400 miles includes:
All Systems Were Cleaned and Flushed., the fuel tank cleaned, cooling system, oil changed (2X), transmission
fluid / filter changed and the brake system had new fluid when the hydraulics were replaced.
New Tires, Battery, Alternator, Tune-Up, R134 Refrigerant Upgrade (the air blows cold), A Complete Brake System
Overhaul (master cylinder, front calipers, rotors, pads rear wheel cylinders, drums and shoes)
This Eldorado is not perfect, but shows very well. All the body gaps and shut lines look great. The exterior trim
and moldings are in very nice condition with no dents, no heavy scrapes or gouges. The interior is soft and looks
great (just lightly cleaned) with only minimal wear. She has an earlier repaint (with some flaws, request
additional pictures), a newer convertible top with the glass rear window, a fiberglass top / boot cover is included
and a full size spare tire was purchased. The original owners manual, a factory shop manual and custom car cover
are included as well.
A Few Things Are Inoperable, Needing Attention: The Horn, The Clock, Passenger Side Power Door Lock, Rear Bumper
Fillers Are Cracked (new ones purchased & with the car), A Cracked Rear Reflector, Missing The Rear View Mirror,
The Muffler Sounds Raspy But Not Loud. This Caddy Needs To Be Driven.

Cadillac sales chief Peffer resigns amidst slow sales
Fri, 20 Jun 2014Cadillac continues to hemorrhage executives, as it's just seen its fourth high-level departure in the past year. Vice President of Global Strategic Development Don Butler (who defected to Ford) and European President and Managing Director Susan Docherty both left the company of their own volition, while Chase Hawkins, Cadillac's vice president of sales and service, was fired following a "violation of policy" in July of 2013. Strangely, it's Hawkins' replacement, Bill Peffer (shown above), who has handed in his papers this time around.
"Bill left to pursue other interests. Kurt McNeil replaces him, effective immediately," spokesman David Caldwell told Autoblog via email.
McNeil last held the VP of sales and service position back in 2012. He's currently the vice president of US sales for all of General Motors. According to The Detroit News, McNeil will take on the post in what is likely an interim capacity.
11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching
Fri, 26 Sep 2014This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.
2015 Cadillac Escalade configurator lets you bling it your way
Fri, 21 Mar 2014It's Friday, so there must be a new configurator to play with. While last week we showed you how to build your own McLaren 650S, today's ride is a bit more common. It's the 2015 Cadillac Escalade, a vehicle that you've been able to colorize since the end of last year, and which is sure to be an increasingly common sight on US roads in the coming months.
For those that have played with the build-your-Caddy tool, there's not much new here, aside from the vehicle being configured. The Escalade is available in three trims and two wheelbases, with prices spanning from the SWB, two-wheel-drive Standard, which starts at $72,690, on to the all-wheel-drive, long-wheelbase ESV Premium, which kicks off at $86,790. The options list, meanwhile, isn't hugely extensive. A rear-seat entertainment system and power-retractable side-steps (only available on the Premium trim) are the two notable options, while customers will have their choice of six exterior paints and two to three interior schemes, depending on the trim level.
