76,000 Miles, Triple White, Good Original Condition, With Extras Included on 2040-cars
Manchester Township, New Jersey, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible, in
Cotillion White with white interior and white convertible top. It has been garage
kept since I purchased it in 2008, driven sparingly in season and never driven
during winter. All original mileage (76,000+) and factory-installed standard
equipment; I believe the paint to be 1x repainted in factory original Cotillion
White with red pinstripes.
The car has been driven sparingly with care, and has a clean
title/history. It has not been recently detailed and has been mostly sitting in
a garage. Please contact seller if you would like to exchange phone numbers or
see additional pictures – I will try to post more during the week. The car can
be seen in Manchester Township, NJ if you are in the area.
Read on for detailed specifications and terms of sale, payment
and shipping. Thank you for looking.
The exterior of the car I believe to have been redone in its
original cotillion white. When I purchased the car in 2008, I also acquired a
full set of replacement body fillers and painted them to match the factory
Cadillac color. I only got around to installing the front right fender filler,
which had the most immediate need. The rest can be seen in the photos of
additional parts that will be included with purchase. The paint on this car has
some sun fade but overall looks good. There is a noticeable scratch on the
driver’s side rear quarter panel. This car has never sustained any collision
damage and has one small area of rust repair beneath the passenger door. I
never even noticed it myself until the car was up on a lift. The white
convertible top is worn and could use replacing. It was like this when I
purchased the car. I originally intended to do some work to it make it show
quality, but time and money (or lack thereof) got in the way and it stayed the
good looking casual driver it is today. With the work that I never
accomplished, she would be a gem. The car is complete with all of its stainless
and chrome trim except for the hood ornament, which someone helped themselves
to while I was out in it one night. The car sits on older but decent tread
tires and red painted era-correct hubcaps that match the dash, carpet and
parade boot (a nice touch). You’ll see in the pictures I have a brand new set
of chrome plated hubcaps that I am including with purchase. The interior is white leather. The driver’s side seat shows wear
and the vinyl armrest on the driver’s door is torn. The rest of the seats and
doors are quite clean; the back seat is immaculate. The dash is good for it’s
age with some dirt and fading and two small stress cracks to the driver side
upper dash that are very small. Full working power on all four windows and
seats are dual 6-way power. The power to the top does not work. It was in that
condition when I bought it and I don’t know what the cause is. It could be the
top motor or as simple as a relay. I have been raising and lowering the top
manually, but not often as I really don’t ever drive the car unless it is top
down weather. The red parade boot can be seen in the photos and is included. The
driver’s side view mirror glass is a bit loose inside the casing, and there is
a crack in the windshield. Heater/blower works but is noisy at times and A/C does not blow
cold. It has the original Cadillac AM/FM 8 track radio, though it does not play
8 tracks. Power steering, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, front and rear
seat belts, full size spare and jack in the trunk. Carpet is faded and worn in
spots, but better than average for an almost 40 year old car. The original 8.2L 500 CID engine starts and runs every time but
could use a going through and probably a tune up. It does have a newly
installed water pump. It also has a complete new exhaust and runs very quiet.
The suspension is sitting a little low in the rear and could probably stand to
be replaced. The transmission shifts nicely through all gears and the brakes
work well with a recently replaced power brake booster.

Cadillac confirms CT8/CT9 flagship, ELR successor
Fri, 10 Oct 2014Cadillac has certainly been a hot topic as of late, what with Johan de Nysschen now running the joint, moving its headquarters to New York, and overhauling the company's naming structure (only to later publicly defend all of these drastic decisions). Now, looking ahead, de Nysschen is already revealing some details about what's in store for the future, including a raft of new products that include a large, long-wheelbase Mercedes-Benz S-Class rival positioned above the recently announced CT6, along with a successor to the slow-selling ELR coupe.
In an interview with Reuters, de Nysschen says his company has "just signed off on" a new flagship tipped to be called CT8 or CT9. It will compete with the long-wheelbase versions of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series, and should come to market by the end of this decade.
Among other news, the South African executive said a followup to the ELR plug-in hybrid is in development, though it may not be a two-door coupe like the current car. That's not necessarily a bad thing, since the ELR has garnered nothing but slow sales and poor reviews since its launch.
Five awesome Lego car creations
Thu, 23 Oct 2014Lego cars are among our favorite toys. They're fun for play, and if built properly, great to display. With that in mind, we've crafted a list of some of the best creations we've seen. Some are on sale now, while others are merely the work of fanciful enthusiasts. There are even a couple that you definitely cannot buy (we'll explain).
Our choices are diverse, including everything from a diminutive 1969 Chevy Corvette to a fullsize Ferrari Formula One racecar. These are just five projects that caught our eye - there are many more out there - so if you don't see your favorite Lego car on the list (or if you have your own creation), please tell us about it, in Comments.
GM recalling 54k Cadillac SRX, HD pickup models
Thu, 01 May 2014There are more recalls to report General Motors, but these latest actions pertain to newer examples of the Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD. With so much scrutiny on the company's recall strategy, GM is under increasing pressure to call in defective models more quickly, and it appears to be doing so here.
Here in the US, the automaker is recalling 50,571 Cadillac SRX crossovers from the 2013 model year fitted with the 3.6-liter V6 because the transmission control module programming can cause a three- or four-second lag in acceleration at low speeds. The explanation filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states, "if the following sequence occurs within two seconds: during an upshift from first to second gear (8-10 mph), the driver then brakes the vehicle to less than 5 mph, and then accelerates again," the delay can occur. According to Automotive News, the recall effects 56,400 vehicles worldwide, and the company is not aware of any crashes caused by the problem. The fix consists of a transmission control module (TCM) reflash.
In a separate recall, GM is repairing 51 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD pickups from the 2015 model year in the US. In vehicles with diesel engines and dual fuel tanks, the nuts that connect the fuel pipe to each side of the transfer pump between the tanks may be improperly torqued, which could cause a fuel leak. Obviously, this could be a fire hazard. The remedy is simply tightening the hardware. According to GM spokesperson Alan Adler, there have been no fires actually caused by the potential leak. "Only 21 of the trucks are in customer possession and they can be fixed anytime because there are no parts involved. The others are being fixed at dealerships," Adler said in an email to Autoblog.
