For Sale: 1970 Cadillac Eldorado in Concord, North Carolina

The first generation of front-wheel drive Eldorados were the true kings of spacious cruising, and a 1970 Cadillac Eldorado like this is the one to have. After all, it was the only year for the big 500ci V8 in its generation. Plus, it retains the best features you want in a classic Caddy with a premium style, well-coordinated colors, and a loaded A/C interior.

This is wearing its factory-correct silver. It's a color that has an appeal in modern times, especially how it looks on this coupe. It joins the clear lights, clean glass, and minimal trim to give this Eldorado an almost modern feel. The rear design even has a crisp style that showed off a sporty side while not losing any of the proper Cadillac elegance. Of course, it's still a true classic with terrific details, like form-fitting chrome bumpers and a taut black vinyl top. And the true appeal also lies in seeing just how well the panels line up on a coupe that's passed the half-century mark. And a well-respected car always has timeless appeal.

More of this reverence is seen inside. The full black interior has a highly original style, and it's quite inviting everywhere from the plush carpet to the leather upholstery. It's a true loaded Caddy made to coddle with cold-blowing air conditioning, power windows, power locks, and cruise control. You'll love all the vintage details, like the hardy metal switches, smooth wood-like trim, and the full set of interior lights that still greet you when you open the door. The only upgrades you're likely to spot are well-integrated ones, like the retro-style AM/FM digital tuner and cup holders that rest on the Eldorado's unique flat floor (one of the benefits of front-wheel drive.) It's a personal luxury layout with a large fold-down center armrest, tilt steering wheel, and a full driver-oriented dash. So it makes for an ideal classic cruiser for modern times.

1970 was the first year for the monstrous 500 cubic-inch V8 motor. And since the generation changed in '71, this makes for a unique and very desirable powerplant. That's why we're happy to know the consignor states this is the correct-displacement motor. Topped with a four-barrel carburetor, you've got an abundance of muscle to move this luxury machine with ease. The cruising attitude is heightened by a smooth-shifting three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and a service manual. This coupe is a true cruiser, and that means a full package that encourages you to drive it. It's in the road-ready finish of the paint, the luxury amenities inside, and the overall easy driving feeling. So if you want to be able to fully enjoy a classic luxury car experience, this one lets you do it to the fullest. Call now!
