1967 Cadillac Eldorado (429 bb v8) resto Project

Issues you can expect with eldorado :

windows, door, trunk seals-insulation are dried & cracked

This Cadillac has stayed in a Arizona dry environment which is good for lack of rust but bad for interior, seats have tears, dash has cracks.

Middle floor pan panel will need replacement, caused by the deteriorated window & door seals.

(this is the only part of the Cadillac that sustained more than surface rust. )

Vac hoses for headlight actuator appear to be dried out and may have minor leakage.

Rear bumper was off for rust inspection (none found) However is now installed back on the car.

Tires are dry rotted and will need to be replaced before any road trips(hub caps from later model) corner light fillers have been replace by lens (previous owner)

A/C will need to be maintained - recharged

Rear air suspension hoses may need to be gone though (this should not affect drivability unless loaded with lot of weight)vinyl top cover is deteriorated.

The good.

body panelings- structure panels including door jambs wheel wheels and rockers inside & out side have NO rust (may have surface rust from paint deterioration however that is as far a it goes.)

All windows and Glass is good NO cracks on any glass, Front windshield rear back glass side door glass all good.

ALL Power windows still function (a little slow going up (cleaning and re lube regulator gears should make windows work like new)

Power locks Work

Power seats work

Gauges Work

Electronics work

Climate control works (a/c will need recharge) heat works great

Cadillac engine overhauled with new gaskets seals timing chain lifter rods

(main and rod bearings not replaced good condition did not need replacement.

Original 429 bb engine with 60k Actual miles

Fuel system including fishbowl maintained

Engine runs smooth transmission shifts smooth

Most all trim will be included including wheel well trim and stainless rockers (only pieces missing is a few (Eldorado) letters from side fender panel, (some trim was temporarily removed for thorough rust inspection. (which was pleasantly not found)

I have been holding on to this caddy for a few years now and planned on restoring I just need the space and i need the money other wise i would not consider parting as she's not a hard restoration. This 67 was supposed to be my keeper however money has become slim.

Overall this 1967 Cadillac Eldorado is a excellent candidate for further restoration.
