This 1967 Cadillac Eldorado was purchased by the current owner in 1981 and underwent modifications that were completed in 2014. A 500ci V8 and a replacement three-speed automatic transmission were installed, the roof was removed and chopped, a removable hardtop was fitted, the bodywork was repainted black, and the seats were re-trimmed in black leather. Additional equipment includes a removable tonneau cover, 15″ wheels, front disc brakes, a power-operated front bench, power front windows, aut0-dimming headlights, and a heater. This modified Eldorado is now offered in Canada by the seller on behalf of the owner with British Columbia registration.

The roof was chopped and shortened, the frame was reinforced, and a removable fabric hardtop and custom tonneau cover were fitted. The seller reports that the car has undergone three color changes and was most recently refinished in black circa 2014, and red “Helldorado” script and stripes adorn the sides. Additional modifications have involved adding a rear LED light strip and removing the gas door, rear back-up light, and wheel arch trim. Paint chips and a crack on the right rear fender are noted.

Steel 15″ wheels wear covers with black centers and red accent stripes. The wheels are mounted with 235/75 Hankook Radial H714 tires measuring 235/75/R15. The car is equipped with power steering, stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes, and the seller states that rear air bags are fitted.

The cabin houses a power-operated front bench and a rear bench seat that have been reupholstered in black leather, and the seller reports that the carpets have also been replaced. Appointments include a fold-down center armrest, power front windows, auto-dimming headlights, and a heater. The radio does not work, and a tear in the upholstery of the driver’s seat is depicted in the gallery.

The three-spoke steering wheel wears a Cadillac wreath and crest and fronts a horizontal-sweep 120-mph speedometer, gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level, and an analog clock. A trio of aftermarket readouts is mounted in the center of the dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows 6k miles, and the seller reports having added approximately 30k miles under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The seller notes that the 500ci V8 was sourced from a 1970 model and installed in 2010.

Power is routed to the front wheels through a replacement three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission.

The vehicle does not have a title and is being sold on its British Columbia registration, which serves as the ownership document in British Columbia, Canada.
