This 1974 Cadillac Eldorado coupe is finished in blue with a white vinyl roof over white leather upholstery and is powered by a 500ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transaxle. Equipment includes electric windows and door locks, Twilight Sentinel automatic headlights, woodgrain trim, and a power-adjustable front bench seat. The car spent time in Washington State and Idaho before it was acquired by the seller on BaT in March 2022 and relocated to Michigan. Subsequent service consisted of replacing the alternator and thermostat along with brake work. This Eldorado coupe is now offered at no reserve with removed wheelcovers and a clean Michigan title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in blue with a white vinyl roof and is equipped with opera windows, quad headlamps, remote-adjustable mirrors, side moldings, a Cadillac-crest hood ornament, and rear fender skirts. The bumper fillers were replaced under previous ownership and the power antenna motor is inoperative. There is age-related paint wear along with a dent in the driver-side front fender and a tear in the metal on the driver door.
Factory 15″ steel wheels wear bright wheel covers with Cadillac crests up front and are mounted with 235/75 Mastercraft A/S IV narrow-whitewall tires. The Eldorado featured a torsion bar front suspension and a coil-sprung solid rear axle along with Automatic Level Control and power steering. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums, and the seller states the brake lines and brakes were replaced. The parking brake does not work and the brake light in the dash intermittently illuminates. Additional wheelcovers are included in the sale.
The cabin features a power-adjustable front bench trimmed in white leather with matching door panels and a blue dashboard, seat belts, and carpeting. Amenities include cruise control, power windows and door locks, Twilight Sentinel automatic headlights, a push-button AM/FM radio, and distressed pecan-style woodgrain trim on the dashboard and door panels. Cracking in the leather can be seen on the seats.
The three-spoke steering wheel has woodgrain accents and frames a horizontal 100-mph speedometer. The five-digit odometer shows 66k miles, approximately 350 of which were added under current ownership.
The 500ci V8 was factory rated at 210 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. Work performed under current ownership reportedly included replacing the thermostat and alternator.
Power is sent to the front wheels through a three-speed TH425 automatic transaxle. Corrosion is noted on the undercarriage.
