1970 Cadillac Eldorado
Description
2 owner 1970 Cadillac Eldorado in excellent shape. The 1970 is the most coveted year for Eldorados as it is the first year of the 500cid 8.2L engine, last year with no emission controls stuff, and it is the last year of this body style. 400hp from the factory. This car/ year was in the Guinness book of world records for 20 years as the biggest engine in a production car right up until the Lamborghini Diablo took its place in 1990.
This car has a sumptuous brown leather interior. I have every service record since 1981. The only other owner beyond my father and I was the President of IBM Canada who owned it from 1970 to 1981!
The 8.2L/500 cubic inch original untouched engine with about 115,000 miles on it fires up first or second try every time! It has only been fed premium fuel with a lead additive and fuel stabilizers when required for storage. The paint was redone in the exact original silver and then clear-coated back in 1981. It still shines. Even the original vinyl roof is in very good condition as it has always been garage kept. There is some bubbling in a few little places but nothing that has gotten any worse in my memory of it. My meticulous father religiously kept it clean and garaged, applied undercoat, and didn't drive it in the winter. The only issues with the car are the power seat motor recently failed, there are a couple tiny holes in the headliner (interior otherwise perfect) and AC needs charging. The brakes including master cylinder were done completely in 2013.
I could also be interested in trading this car plus cash for your 19' to 24' cuddy cabin boat. Prefer a 4 stroke outboard. I am looking for a boat with a value of about $20,000 to $35,000. So I would give you the car plus whatever cash is deemed fair both ways.
This car deserves an owner that uses it more than I do. 3 or 4 times a year just isn't enough!
