The original, numbers-matching 429ci engine gets works wonderfully and gets plenty of power from its 340hp. The engine has just over 70,000 miles on the odometer. The GM Turbo Hydramatic TH400 automatic transmission shifts perfectly. This Eldo starts right up, drives straight, smooth and quietly. Dual servo self adjusting brakes were standard on the Eldorado. Stopping is a breeze --you will have plenty of time to wave at the people admiring your car and complimenting you on its condition.
History and Maintenance
This car has been extremely well maintained throughout its life. It has been kept in a heated garage during my ownership, and does not appear to have ever been parked outside for long periods of time. As noted above, this car was one of the last Eldorados that rolled out of Cadillac's Clark Street factory in 1966. It was completed in the second week of June, 1966, about 6 weeks before Cadillac began retooling for the 1967 model year. My research indicates that I am the Eldorado's third owner. It was originally sold in Michigan and then spent some time in Pennsylvania before it began attracting attention in Chicago in 2006.
I have owned this Eldorado since June 2006, and have complete service records since then. I have used mechanics who specialize in maintenance and service of classic vehicles. Documentation includes original owners manual, Cadillac data/build sheet, replicated window sticker and more.
Payment and Shipment
If you are interested in mechanical inspection, message me to arrange it. You will pay the mechanic's fees, if any, associated with the inspection.
Winning bidder must PayPal or wire transfer $1,000 within 24 hours of auction closing with the balance due within two days thereafter (or as otherwise agreed upon). Seller reserves the right to require payment by certified check or ACH for any winning bidder with no feedback or negative feedback. Winning bidder is responsible for shipping expenses (I can recommend a good auto transportation company). This vehicle is sold as is, where is and with all faults.
This is a true investment grade Cadillac Eldorado. Cadillacs are on the move these days, especially the Eldorados. This is one of the nicest out there. Get it now and enjoy the summer with the top down!
