Up for sale is a very nice 1965 Cadillac Eldorado - GOLD ON GOLD convertible.
Driver quality restoration, work in progress.
1 of 2125 made in 1965 this is a great rare car.
A lot of time, effort and money went into this sweet Cadillac. Now it must go!
429 engine runs but needs a little more tuning, smokes a bit on start up. I have not driven the car much at all over the last year.
Front and rear seats were professionally recovered several years ago and were on the list for replacement but I'm ready to move on. They look great and are very comfy. Power seats work in 5 of 6 ways.
Items that have been done:
-Brand new white convertible top professionally installed with an upgraded glass back window - Power switch still works the top both up and down - fluid added
-new carpet kit
-new shocks (4)-front floor pans replaced-new trunk gasket-new windshiled-new locks on door and trunk-rust removed and repaired-new paint (see below)-engine bay cleaned and detailed-original wood veneer was damaged upon arrival and replaced with vinyl.
Issues that I'm aware of:-Power windows work but the back drivers does not go up once down. Tried to troubleshoot this problem but just couldn't figure it out.
-Needs Eldorado emblems
-Needs two pieces of chrome on drivers side - as seen in pictures - front wheel trim and rear lower fender moulding-rear tail lights as missing the two piece trim that attaches to the body (both sides) - not pictured.
-New paint - some imperfections hard to see in pics - nearly impossible to get a picture of this but the paint looks great, however upon close inspection you can see (not feel) rings or circles, mostly on the horizontal surfaces. ..hence the driver quality.
-as I haven't driven it much, assume that it still needs care and maintenance.-radio does not work -heat and AC do not work.-original trunk kit was gone and replaced with carpet
Overall this is a great rare find. Good drivers quality car that can be enjoyed for years. Still could use some work to be even better. A great classic car to work on and own, wish I could keep it but I'm ready to move on.
Sad to see it go but it will make you happy to own it. It still needs some finishing touches and tinkering to be clear but a real head turner when done.
Please message me or call with any questions, I'm happy to answer. 100% feedback and I'd like to keep it that way. I will assist your shipper with loading the car upon final payment.
