70 Eldorado in Amazingly Preserved Condition For Only $4000!

[John Morris #23947]

Here's beautiful 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado! The 70 Eldo was a milstone car, with the debut of the monster 500 cubic inch engine, the only high compression 500, because the 71 and up 500 had reduced compression and emission controls, dropping horsepower and torque. The 70 500 engine, with 400 HP and 550 foot lbs of torque, is the most powerful Cadillac engine ever. Even a 67 Vette 427 Tri Power engine had only [argh!] 485 foot pounds, 65 less than this Caddy! Engine runs like a champ. Transmission was just recased, new seals etc. Glass is flawless except a tiny star on bottom left corner of windshield, not seen by driver. Interior is the most amazing original 1970 interior I've ever seen. Original carpets are fantastic, not shown are long floormats in great condition. Leather seats are unbelievable, not even any patina. Dashpad has not 1 tiny crack, instrument cluster looks like nos,as does everything under dash. Headliner, visors, seatbelts, package tray, seat backs flawless. Entire interior has only a couple tiny flaws, small crack on drivers armrest, 1 inch split in drivers seat back down low, thin steering wheel insert worn. Power windows and seat all work fast and smooth. Tilt telescopic wheel. Outer body is astonishing, no rust through anywhere inside or outside. Beautiful quarters, fenders, doors. Lower moldings flawless. Trunk has nice original side panels, carpet, jute pad, nice original jack. Engine compartment has every wire, vacuum line totally intact as original. Some new a/c components. I can email you tons more pictures. Mountains of maintenance receipts, dozens of oil changes. Nice as this car is, it does need some work. Car had the vinyl top removed. Car needs paint job, there is cracking, chips, tiny areas of surface rust. There is a crease, small, on right fender. Climate control does not work, could be a fuse or blower motor. Trunk pulldown, though clean, needs work. Outside door handles and mirror pitted, inside mirror has faded glass. Trunk lock cover gone. Once the car is warmed up and you shut it off, the carb floods, you must floor the pedal and crank a few seconds. This is common on Rochester fuel bowls. Yes, the car needs freshened up with paint etc. But can you imagine the cost of restoring a leather interior and instruments like this beauty? Or tracing every vacuum line and connection under this original hood? A true survivor in amazingly preserved running condition, needs some work. Has clear Washington title, expired tags. I drove it 250 miles from Seattle to my house at night, a real highway queen! $4000. DOZENS OF PICTURES TO SEND!
