1975 Cadillac Eldorado VIN: 6L67S5Q407236 500-CID, V8 engine Front-wheel drive; three-speed automatic transmission (Turbo hydra-matic) Believed to be 16,000 actual miles New parts added in 2012 MotoeXotica Classic Cars offers this original 1975 Cadillac Eldorado, the latest addition to our showroom.General Motors' successful Eldorado models needed a redesign. The eighth generation (first year 1971) brought back the convertible model missing from Generation VII. The popularity continued as sales rose, and the Eldorado was chosen as the Indy 500 pace car in 1973. The 1975 models took after its predecessor from 1974. That year, models featured a redesigned instrument cluster that GM sales brochures dubbed the "space age" instrument panel. Eldorados from this mark where seen in many movies of the 70s, including the James Bond film "Live and Let Die." 1975 was at the worst of the economic recession during that time. This led to low sales of the 1975 Eldorado. Just two years earlier, Eldorados accounted for one-sixth of Cadillac's sales with 51, 451 sold. The 1975 Eldorado didn't have the Fleetwood title. The year after, GM introduced the Biarritz luxury package. However, new standards on the '75 included six-way power adjustable seats, power lock doors, tinted glass and lamp monitors. Factory options for the Eldorado were electronic fuel injection, passenger recliner seat and air cushion restraint system.Under the hood of this Cadillac you see pictured is a 500-CID, V8 engine. This car is front-wheel drive with a three-speed automatic, turbo hydra-matic transmission. There were new parts added in 2012 including new alternator, batter, fuel and water pumps, and radiator to help this car run as smooth as it did in 1975. This car is believed to only have 16,000 original miles, and the car has only had three previous owners. The highlight of this '75 is the original interior. The smooth, silver metallic-color leather is a sign of the elegant Eldorado design. The dark wood paneling along the dash will transport you right back to the 1970s. The AM/FM radio, a new standard in 1975, is original along with all the gauges which are operable. This Caddy has power steering, brakes and transmission.The convertible top is a classic Sandalwood.
