22-Years-Owned 1971 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado Convertible

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The sixth-generation Cadillac Eldorado combined bold styling, front-wheel-drive engineering, and comfort that defined Cadillacs of the early 1970s. These personal luxury cars featured dramatic proportions, hidden windshield wipers, a massive V8 engine, and a plush ride quality. Drop top examples represent one of the final eras of full-size American luxury convertibles before the segment largely disappeared from the market.

Finished in metallic blue with a white soft top over blue leather upholstery, this 1971 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado Convertible is powered by an 8.2-liter V8 paired with a Turbo Hydra-Matic three-speed automatic transmission driving the front wheels. Purchased by the seller in 2004, equipment includes a power-adjustable front bench seat, automatic climate control, power windows, front disc brakes, and power steering. The seller notes the rear suspension was modified with air shocks and replacement springs, eliminating Cadillac's Automatic Level Control rear suspension system.

This 1971 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado Convertible is now offered at no reserve with service records, factory literature, shop manuals, a convertible boot cover, spare tire, and a clean Virginia title in the seller's name.
