Vehicle Description
**SALE PENDING** In May 1972, President Nixon took a black Eldorado
coupe with him to Moscow to present as a gift to Soviet leader
Leonid Breshnev. With only three days warning, Cadillac took the
car off the line, striped it in red, and trucked it to Selfridge
Air Force Base near Detroit to be flown to Russia. It was shipped
with a selection of cassette tapes, spare parts, and service
manuals. Cadillac hits its stride this year on its 70th
anniversary, with 267,787 cars sold - the first time it topped a
quarter million. The 1972 Eldorado proved a big success with 40,074
finding buyers (32,099 coupes and 7,975 convertibles). Base price
for the coupe was $7380 and the convertible cost $7681, though it
was easy to option either model past $11,000. This example was sold
new at Tom O'Malley's Cadillac dealership in Wausau, WI and has
remained in the same family since new, from Grandfather to
Grandson, who credits this car for igniting his classic car passion
and decades long hobby. Now as he begins to downsize his
collection, this well-maintained and wonderful driving '72 Eldo
Coupe is available for the first time in nearly 50 years! Recent
engine and transmission seal servicing ($1200) was done, and
outside of a couple tires and an AC charge, this girl has no known
mechanical needs. On the inside, most everything functions with the
exception of the power seat and the clock, and the interior is in
really nice condition overall. The exterior appears to have had
some touchup work over the years, as needed, and remains quite
presentable for a nice driving cruiser. Reasonable offers
encouraged, financing/shipping available, and we gladly sell
worldwide!
