1984 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe


Up for Auction: SUPER LOW FAIR RESERVE !!!

A very nice 1984 Caddy Eldorado 2 dr coupe.
This car was originally sold here in Tucson and basically never
left unless it was for a road trip or 2. What you wont find on
the car is any rust on the car. Its your typical rust free Az car
with a solid body. The car was always parked in a garage or a
carport so the Az sun didnt get to it as badly as some cars.
Best we can tell, its still the original white paint which is showing
its age and its getting faded in areas. I think most of it could be
clay barred and brought back to look pretty nice if you wanted
to and buff it out with a good wax job and it could look even better.
We may try to do that this week with a local detailer we use.

Factory V8 car loaded like you would expect from a Caddy
Some back story about the car, the car was owned by a friend of
mines dad, he bought it new in 84 from the original owner and
drove it up till about 03, when it got parked for something smaller.
Around that time w/ aprox 127k on the car he basically parked 
the car when he bought a new car, so this car as essentially sat
under cover for the last 11 yrs with an empty gas tank. To get it
back on the road, we changed some of the fluids, dropped the
tank and put a new fuel pump and screen in (just to be safe), put
in some fresh gas and with a few cranks of the key, it fired right
up. It runs and drives like an older Caddy should. The tires look 
good but I know are pretty old.

DRIVETRAIN:  the original throttle body injected V8
motor runs and sounds good.
It idles nice and runs like it should. We where going to 
do more of a tune up on it, but its been running so well
Im leaving it alone. Nice and unmolested under the hood
its almost like a time capsule there. AC clicks on using the
climate control on the dash, but doesnt get that cool.
So at the very least it will need a charge.
The hood struts are worn out and dont hold up the hood anymore
by themselves. Again, an easy fix they are available all over
pretty cheap.

INTERIOR: All original blue velour interior shows minor wear 
and actually looks pretty awesome for its age. Think the only
seat that ever got used was the driver seat. All the electronics
seem to work and the gadgets on this car for 1981 are way ahead
of its time. Impressive for its age. The pics always make the car
look better in pics, but this car the is really clean inside too.
The steering column has the typical loose feel to it, typical of
most GMs from this ERA, generally its an easy fix, but you have
to remove the SW and get to the loose nuts down in the column
to tighten it up. 9x out of 10 thats usually the all it is in these
80s GM columns.


EXTERIOR: What looks to be like the original white paint, the body
is very straight and paint could be buffed out some to look nicer
too if you wanted to restore the car. Restoring this car wouldnt take
a whole lot or just drive it the way it is and enjoy it.
As is this car would be a nice daily driver (tires would be the 
first thing I would change on it). The stainless and chrome on this
car are in amazing shape for their age too. There is alot on 
the car from front to back from the factory.


SUSPENSION: all factory the best I can tell and Im sure some bushings
are old and shocks, things where replaced or fixed as needed.
Feels normal and solid like a Cadillac riding on a cloud :)
Smooth with no weird noises, and brakes probably need to be 
bled (from sitting) the car stops, but Ill bleed them this week.

SOME STUFF I KNOW IT NEEDS ARE: power antenna broken, some plastic
filler parts between the rear bumper and body brittle and broken
in a few areas, dr door simply wont open from the inside or outside.
Flip up part of the trunk lock cover broken, chrome trim around dr side
headlight bezel cracked & dr interior door panel showing some wear, 
and the trim on the steering wheel is peeling off.  Most of this stuff is
minor and easy fixes, but you may miss them in the pics so I wanted to 
mention them


Check out ALL the pics below ----->

it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a
slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra schroll
bar on the right side.
Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate.
more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.

We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows.
People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale
and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats
paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end.
Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days
speaks volumes. 

Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort
of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating.
People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are
fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers.

exactly what you have in the end.

Doing restoration on this type of project is less labor

2015 Cadillac Escalade gets 8-speed auto, range-topping Platinum Collection trim

Mon, 11 Aug 2014

The redesigned 2015 Cadillac Escalade is still quite fresh on the market, but the luxury brand has a host of mid-model-year updates for its massive luxury SUV that should make it an even better driver. The range-topping Platinum Collection (pictured above) is also all set to ensconce drivers in leather when it hits the road in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The entire Escalade range now gets an eight-speed automatic to replace the previous six-speed, and four-wheel drive models also get a two-speed transfer case to go along with it. New standard features include a Surround View camera system, 4G LTE connectivity, and the electric tailgate also now closes hands-free, in addition to opening that way.
To make riding in the Escalade an even more luxurious experience, Cadillac is adding a Platinum trim. Exterior changes add even more shine to the behemoth SUV with a grille wearing the redesigned brand crest, additional chrome trim, 22-inch wheels and Platinum badges. However, the interior is where things really get plush. The first and second row of seats are wrapped in Nappa, semi-aniline leather in a choice of either beige or gray. The dashboard, upper door panels and center console also get hand-stitched and wrapped leather, plus a suede microfiber headliner. Both front seats are heated and cooled with 18-way power adjustments, and the driver even gets a massaging function. Rear passengers are hardly left out, either, with 7-inch LCD screens in the headrests and a 9-inch screen in the center.

GM announces 6 recalls covering nearly 720k cars

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

General Motors has announced yet another sprawling recall campaign, with six separate elements covering 717,950 vehicles on US roads. At this point in 2014, it's starting to seem like there are more days with a GM recall than without. Perhaps most troubling about this latest volley, though, is that every vehicle is from the past few years, indicating that GM's quality woes may not be limited to pre-bankruptcy vehicles.
The largest element of this latest campaign covers 414,333 units, and includes the 2011 to 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, 2010 to 2012 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX and the 2011 to 2012 Buick Regal and LaCrosse. Only vehicles with powered, height-adjustable seats are covered. In these particular cars and crossovers, the bolt that secures the height adjuster actuator may loosen of its own accord and in some cases fall out completely. If this happens, the seats will be able to move both up and down. GM claims the vehicles are safe to drive, provided drivers don't vertically adjust their seats. This particular issue has caused one crash and three injuries.

2015 Cadillac Escalade blings its way into LA

Thu, 21 Nov 2013

The new Cadillac Escalade sauntered out onto the Los Angeles Auto Show stage, showing off its new familial face and redesigned interior. That exterior, with its slim, wrap-over headlights and tall, vertical taillights (both made up of LEDs) is a subtle but significant departure from the past styling of General Motors' flagship SUV.
And while there's no shortage of stuff to discuss about the Caddy's exterior, its cabin is where the big changes happen. Aside from the column-mounted shifter, the cabin receives a heavy going-over, receiving Cadillac's new CUE infotainment system and a significant upgrade to the materials. Comparing it to furniture, Eric Clough, Cadillac's director of design for interiors, said, "An exceptional level of craftsmanship has gone into the redesign of the 2015 Cadillac Escalade, and it all centers on the premium materials and extensive use of cut-and-sew live stitching."
Under hood sits a 420-horsepower, 460-pound-foot, 6.2-liter V8. Fitted with direct injection and active fuel management, fuel economy for the big Escalade should get a much-needed boost beyond the current model's 14-city and 18-highway miles per gallon, although official numbers haven't been published quite yet. A six-speed automatic is the sole gearbox choice. Cadillac has also fitted the new Escalade with GM's magnetic ride control system, which should deliver a more refined ride than its predecessor.
