For Sale: 1975 Cadillac Eldorado in Concord, North Carolina

Here's precisely what you want in a big crusin' convertible - a cool 1975 Cadillac Eldorado drop-top with a big 500ci V8, a cool color combo, and the kind of value price that leaves room in your budget for added personalization.

This was one of the final years that Cadillac gave us a truly substantial car to drop the top and hit the road. And more than just size, the opulence was in the lavish design that outstretched the fenders with sharp edges, had a gentle curve that went from the front fender all the way to the door handle, and a hood that rose up to make sure the Cadillac crest on top was above all. So this car is all about rolling style. The golden glow of the paint gives a nice premium impression when it's rolling down the highway. The fit and finish are not up to a car show level, and that's why this is priced to be an easy cruiser. What you'll especially appreciate is that the brightwork looks clean and complete. Plus, the glass looks good, the weather stripping is pliable, and the convertible top looks newer. So there are good fundamentals already in place if you decide to take this Caddy to the next level.

When you put the top down, the tan interior has a nice coordinating tone with the exterior. A driver-quality car means a driver-ready style, and so you want a vehicle like this for sharing with family and friends. Two wide rows of bench seats and a flat floor make this the convertible that everyone can get comfortable in. But this Eldorado also likes to be more personal. The fold-down armrests, tilt steering column, and power seat make it easy to find your ideal driving position. This also has nice luxury features like power windows, power locks, a power convertible top, cruise control, and provisions for factory air conditioning. There are some nice details, like the textured pattern in the door panels and the full lighting package that greets you when the door opens.

Filling the engine bay is the monstrous 500 cubic-inch V8 motor with a four-barrel carburetor on top. It's a long-standing hardy powerhouse from Cadillac, so it's always relatively easy to source components for maintenance or upgrades. The full package was built to be an easy cruiser, so you have a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes with discs up front.

Complete with the owner's manual. This is the kind of car where you use the budget price to make this Caddy an even more personal cruiser. You can tune it up and add modern fuel injection for a daily driver feeling. You can restore the A/C and upgrade the upholstery to have that awesome new leather smell. And you can even give it a respray to match your favorite collectible. So grab this Caddy and dream big. Call now!
