Used 1971 Cadillac Eldorado

The 1971 Cadillac Eldorado is a longer, lower, and wider personal luxury car that marked the return of the convertible to the lineup. This model was the first Cadillac convertible since 1966, with only 6,800 produced that year. Standard equipment included power steering, power front disc brakes, and an automatic transmission. As a top-tier luxury vehicle of its era, it is now a highly collectible classic. This 1971 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible is finished in Blue with a dark blue leather interior with a coordinating white convertible top and a blue vinyl convertible boot. This front wheel drive Cadillac is powered by the legendary five hundred cubic inch V8 motor mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission. Based on the paint code (11) as indicated on the trim tag this Cadillac left the factory in Cotillion White paint with a blue convertible top. Although there are no signs of the previous color the blue paint is showing wear from use and age as would be expected from a 55-year-old vehicle. The leather on the seats is in good condition, still supple with no excessive wear or tears. The vinyl power convertible top is fully operable with only one small split. The body of the car appears free of any heavy rust bubbling or corrosion with a solid understructure showing the typical light scaling. Although a good running Eldorado we have identified some deficiencies: * Leaking exhaust at manifold, * Exhaust rattling due to contact with rear frame, * Power windows work from drivers controls only, * No radio in dash, original non-working radio provided, * Passenger sideview mirror dash control is inoperable, * Convertible top middle support needs alignment, * 2 tear in convertible top on the passenger side, * Light dry rot on tires * The horn is not working This 1971 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible is not a perfect car but a very solid entry into the classic car market. When this now 55-year-old car originally hit the showroom floor it was the epitome of American luxury. If you would like to learn more about this vehicle, please contact us at Legendary Motors LLC.
