Vehicle Description
I have collected classic cars for 35 years. This is one of my
classics from my personal collection, see others at, www.gccc.us
Previous owner had motor and transmission rebuilt. Have pictures
during the rebuld process. Rebuilt engine and tranny has less than
1,000 miles on them. Statement from previous owner ~~ I started
restoration by tackling the biggest problems first. I had the
original Eldorado engine completely torn down and rebuilt with all
new parts (see attached pictures). I likewise had the transmission
completely rebuilt. The car drove when I bought it, but I was
informed that it had a up-shift problem. I also determined a slight
knock in the engine, so I had them both rebuilt. Included in that
rebuilding and continuing to this day, I have installed a new
starter motor, water pump, generator, rebuilt carburetor, power
steering pump, new master cylinder, shocks, wires, rotor and plugs,
new AC compressor, dual exhausts, and Radio/DVD. Had the driver and
passenger power windows repaired, and numerous other things I have
probably forgotten. I spent $550.00 just to have the stainless
steel wheel covered restored like new, and $80 for four new
Cadillac insignias. I spent $40 plus shipping for that front five
inch piece of hood ornament. There are lots of such little things
that cost me a fortune. I had new weather stripping installed on
both doors ($175). Items yet needing attention: Power seat is very
slow and sluggish. Heat has a new core, but has not been installed
as yet. It has no rust or dents. The undercarriage seems solid.
What is left to do is relatively minor compared to what I have
done. I just can't keep up with it any longer in my condition. I
intended to replace the tires with new steel belted radials and
give it a good paint job. It is mostly cosmetic work from here I
believe. The interior has no tears, the headliner, dash and
carpeting is in good shape. The trunk is very clean. I have spent
about $10,000 in restoration since buying this car. It's a real
head-turner. I will be happy to answer any and all questions that
you might have. The heater has a new core, but has not been hooked
up as yet. Whoever buys this car is basically getting $10,000 of
free restoration thrown in with the asking price.
New Paint in original cadillac color.New exhaust system, New wide
white tires.Polished chrome and original wheel covers.
Very nice Eldorado, new mechanicals and new paint !!!
