Waukesha, Wisconsin, United States

1972 Eldorado. 8.2 liter 500 Cu. In 375 HP. 

This car has bee properly maintained, with the following replaced in the last two years: new vacuum hoses, rebuilt brake calipers, new brake pads, rebuilt brake master cylinder, new axle shafts, new brake hoses front and back, new rear brake shoes, cylinders, drums, rear wheel bearings and seals, replaced all of the exhaust after the Y pipe, new aluminum radiator, new water pump, hoses, belts, heater core, heater valve, heater control module, cruise control transducer, battery, Monroe shocks, rebuilt Quadrajet carb, new fuel pump, tuned up, new ignition coil, rebuilt alternator.  The car was repainted years ago; the original color was Firemist Gold, but it was redone in a lighter gold color.  The original keys, including gold-plated key with the Cadillac crest surrounded by laurels are included.

This car is heavily-optioned, runs and drives excellently. The interior is in beautiful condition and the only issue with the body is some damage (visible in the last picture) to the right rear quarter panel from a tire blowout on the freeway. All 5 tires; the 4 on the ground and the spare, were all replaced immediately afterwards.

The engine does leak coolant due to a rusted freeze plug that needs to be replaced.

Odometer shows 90,448 miles.

The only barrier to driving this car cross-country is the cost of gasoline.  The only reason I'm selling it is because I'm moving to Texas and its too expensive to take the car with.

I'm willing to work with international shippers, provided all the details are taken care of by the buyer and that payment is made in full prior to the car being picked up.

Here's a video walk-around of the car with a brief demonstration of the acceleration:

Cadillac confirms CT8/CT9 flagship, ELR successor

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

Cadillac 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.

2014 Cadillac ELR whirs into Jay Leno's Garage

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

While Jerry Seinfeld was gallivanting around LA with Sarah Silverman in a Jaguar XKE, our favorite car-loving comedian, Jay Leno, was checking out the all-new 2014 Cadillac ELR. Set to go on sale later this year, Cadillac brought its ELR to Jay Leno's Garage to show off some of its styling and technology as well as give Leno some seat time in the range-extended EV. Leno owns both a Volt and a CTS-V, and the ELR is a kind combination of the two (sort of).
In this episode, Leno spends some time talking to Frank Saucedo, GM director of advanced design, and ELR chief engineer Chris Thomason before logging a few miles on the sleek coupe. Interestingly, it seems that GM has definitely changed its tune a little since the introduction of the Volt a couple years ago; Saucedo and Leno both refer to the ELR as a hybrid, and Thomason says that it gets the "bulk of its propulsion" from the electric motors. Whatever you want to call it, scroll down to watch the latest episode of JLG with some great information and driving shots of the plug-in Cadillac.
