This 1974 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible was acquired by the seller from the reported original owner in 2022. Subsequent work is said to have involved refinishing the body in Terra Cotta Firemist, replacing the 500ci V8, and rebuilding the three-speed automatic transmission. The car wears an earlier model front grille and bumper as well as a power-operated white convertible soft top, while its two rows of bench seats are trimmed in Antique Terra Cotta leather. Further details include automatic climate control, cruise control, and Twilight Sentinel automatic headlights as well as 15″ steel wheels with polished covers. Previously listed on BaT in April 2024, this Eldorado Convertible is now offered again at no reserve with a spare set of whitewall tires and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The car wears a front grille and bumper sourced from a 1973 model and was refinished in Terra Cotta Firemist under current ownership, according to the seller. Further details include a power-operated white convertible soft top, a vinyl top boot, fender-mounted light monitors, cornering lights, and rear fender skirts. A crack is noted on the right-rear bumper filler panel, and the seller recommends replacing the left hood hinge.
The 15″ steel wheels are fitted with polished covers and wrapped in 235/75 Atlas tires that were mounted under current ownership. 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 front discs and rear drums. A set of four 235/75 Goodyear whitewall tires is included in the sale.
The bench seats are trimmed in Antique Terra Cotta Sierra Grain leather, and the front unit is power-adjustable. Patterned woodgrain trim accents the dash and door panels, and further appointments include automatic climate control, cruise control, a digital clock, Twilight Sentinel automatic headlights, and power windows and door locks. The convertible top switch was replaced under current ownership. The Kenwood stereo is disconnected, wear is visible on the left door panel, and the rear seat upholstery is torn.
The leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel frames a 100-mph speedometer. The five-digit odometer shows 99k miles.
According to the seller, a replacement 500ci V8 was installed following their 2022 acquisition. The engine is equipped with a Rochester Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor.
Power is sent to the front wheels through a Turbo Hydra-Matic three-speed automatic transmission, which is noted to have been rebuilt.
