Description:
Thanks for visiting our listing for a very cool 1970 Cadillac Eldorado.
This great American classic Cadillac Eldorado is a local car that was pampered its entire life here in Newport Beach California. We picked her up and drove her home as you see in the photos. Generally, we don’t find cars of this vintage in “start up and drive” condition but this Caddy was driven gently but regularly. Every bit of maintenance is up to date. The AC has been upgrades to 134 and holds a charge just fine.
This Cadillac sports renowned personal luxury car styling by Bill Mitchell that still looks great today. Those who have driven an Eldorado know that the 1970 model packed on the horsepower and lighting the front tires was half the thrill of all that torque. Clean lines and the attention to detail that only comes from long term ownership and pride are evident here.
Rarity
Clean from the ground up, the Eldorado is the one you want. Never molested and always kept in top shape, she’s ready for her encore.
Exterior.
One repaint some years ago that still shines and waxes up nicely. See the pictures. Nice Vinyl top.
Wheels, Tires
5 Wheel covers. Near new white wall tires. Spare and jack.
Interior
Original seat covers are aging, primarily at the driver seat. Covers were on the front seats. While the seats are fully functional, we do offer a leather seat upgrade on this car. $1800 in the color of your choice. The headliner is excellent as is the perfect dash pad, a sure sign of garage life.
Audio
AM FM Cassette period upgrade. We do offer audio upgrades like USB Bluetooth head units that work with modern phones.
Engine
In 1970 the Eldorado introduced the new 500 cu in (8.2 L) V8 engine, the largest-ever production V8, rated SAE gross 400 hp and 550 lb·ft of torque.
Beautifully maintained, all of the belts are excellent, the radiator is newer, fresh coolant, hoses are nice, oil is fresh, filters are current. New exhaust complete to the fat tailpipes. All electrical up to date as well, alternator, starter, distributor, solenoid and regulator all check out.
Transmission
Automatic Transmission shifts and drives properly. See the video
Braking
Vacuum assist Power DISC brakes. Shocks, bushings, cylinders are all good.
Battery
Inspected and checked. It’s fully charged and starts every time.
Service
Fresh tune up, spark plugs, spark plug wires, oil change, filter, wiper blades, coolant.
Trim
All of the original trim is in good to excellent driver condition. The chrome is amazing and shines beautifully. One “E” is missing from the right front fender script (but I think we have one)
Glass
Glass is excellent throughout.
Odometer
The odometer shows 76980 miles and operates properly. The oral history and documentation support this to be original mileage.
DMV
The California title is clear and all documentation is included. The registration just expired but is easily renewable. No back fees are due. No smog is required for California residents. Very low cost Antique registration for most US States.
Documentation
Clear California title.
Please come inspect this great Eldorado before the listing ends. We are happy to meet you and show her off. Please keep in mind that this is a used car. It is not a new car and will not be fresh and perfect like that new soul sucking Camry your Aunt Betty drives. If that’s what you are after, this is not your era, nor your car.
Please enjoy this brief video walk around and test drive.
Please, no after auction games. Please have your permissions and funds in order before bidding.
