Vehicle Description 1976 Cadillac Eldorado $42,495 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible For SaleBlack With Firethorn Red Leather * 49,397 Miles * 14-Year OwnershipThis 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible is a striking example of Cadillac's full-size luxury convertible, finished in the dramatic combination of black with a Firethorn Red leather interior. Showing 49,397 miles, it has been with its current owner for approximately 14 years and has benefited from extensive cosmetic and mechanical care during that time.With its enormous proportions, acres of chrome, wide whitewall tires, red interior, and power-operated convertible top, this Eldorado delivers exactly the kind of presence that made 1970s Cadillacs so memorable.Black Over Firethorn RedThe exterior is finished in deep black and presents beautifully, with a straight body and extensive brightwork. A distinctive hand-painted double pinstripe provides a subtle custom touch without taking away from the Cadillac's original character.Approximately six months ago, the exterior received a 5-year ceramic coating, helping protect the finish and making it easier to maintain.The car also rides on a recent set of wide whitewall tires, installed approximately three months ago, completing the classic Cadillac appearance.Exterior Highlights:* Black exterior* Firethorn Red interior* Hand-painted double pinstripe* Ceramic coating applied approximately six months ago* Recent wide whitewall tires* Extensive chrome and brightwork* Power antenna* Hard parade boot includedNew Convertible TopThe power convertible top is only a few months old, giving the car a fresh appearance whether the top is raised or lowered.Also included is the desirable hard parade boot, creating a clean, finished appearance behind the rear seat when enjoying the Eldorado with the top down.$9,000 Red Leather InteriorThe Firethorn Red cabin has received extensive attention, with the owner reporting approximately $9,000 invested in the interior.The leather seating has been redone along with the seat backs, door panels, and other interior surfaces. New carpeting completes the presentation.The result is an inviting cabin with the unmistakable scale and comfort of a full-size Cadillac. There is tremendous room for passengers in both rows, making this a genuine four-passenger-or even six-passenger-classic cruiser rather than a cramped convertible.Interior & Convenience Features:* Firethorn Red leather interior* Seats professionally redone* Restored seat backs and interior trim* New carpeting* Power windows* Power door locks* Power seats* Cruise control* Tilt steering wheel* Outside-temperature display* Working power antenna* Custom sound system* Bluetooth capability* Auxiliary audio input* Hard parade bootThe custom audio system adds modern Bluetooth and auxiliary connectivity while allowing the cabin to retain its classic appearance.The odometer shows 49,397 miles, and the car's overall presentation reflects the considerable care it has received during the current owner's long-term ownership.The Eldorado starts easily, settles into a remarkably quiet idle, and is described as an exceptionally smooth driver. The gauges and power accessories are reported to operate properly, including the power antenna.A fresh oil change was also recently completed.Classic Cadillac CruisingOn the road, this Eldorado is all about effortless cruising. With the top lowered, the expansive hood stretching out ahead and the Firethorn Red interior surrounding its passengers, it delivers an experience that is unmistakably Cadillac.The car is reported to run quietly, ride smoothly, steer comfortably, and stop well. It has been driven and enjoyed rather than simply displayed, while receiving the care necessary to keep it looking sharp.Additional Highlights:* Approximately 14 years with current owner* 49,397 miles showing* Recently serviced* Fresh oil change* Recent convertible top* Recent wide whitewall tires* Ceramic-coated exterior* Extensive interior restoration* Custom Bluetooth audio* Multiple sets of keys* Cadillac gold key includedThe personalized "FREAKOUT" plate also has a fun history with the owner. He originally used the same plate on a black-and-red Eldorado coupe decades ago, inspired by the music and culture of the period, and later reacquired the plate for this car. Whether or not the plate accompanies the vehicle can be confirmed at the time of sale.With its black exterior, Firethorn Red leather interior, fresh convertible top, wide whitewalls, beautifully redone cabin, hard parade boot, extensive power equipment, ceramic coating, long-term ownership, and 49,397 indicated miles, this 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible is an impressive example of the extravagant American luxury convertible.It's big, comfortable, unmistakably 1970s, and built for exactly what a Cadillac convertible should do-put the top down and cruise.
