1973 Cadillac Eldorado - Light Blue - 72,440 Miles - Flagship American Personal Luxury Coupe

1973 Cadillac Eldorado, 2-Door Coupe, front-wheel drive, 3-speed automatic, indicating 72,440 miles, 4 seats.


Description


The 1973 Cadillac Eldorado is one of the great American personal luxury coupes, full stop. This example, confirmed by VIN 6L47S30445545 as a genuine 1973 build, presents in striking light blue with a cream leather interior that still has all the period details intact. Dual headlights, chrome grille, classic Cadillac badging and that long, low silhouette are all correct and accounted for.


Inside you get the full Eldorado experience: vertically pleated cream leather seating, wood-grain dash trim, and the factory Cadillac climate system. The vinyl cabriolet roof shows some weathering as you would expect for the age, but the overall presentation is genuinely impressive. An aftermarket wood-rim steering wheel has been fitted in place of the original two-spoke item.


Now for the important stuff. The original Eldorado was fitted with the 500ci (8.2L) Cadillac V8 per the VIN decode, but because there are no engine bay photos in the listing and the trunk has been fitted with a custom aftermarket fuel cell with additional wiring, current engine fitment must be verified on inspection. The car is also front-wheel drive from the factory, which surprises a lot of people. The 1973 Eldorado was built on GM's E-body FWD platform, sharing its architecture with the Oldsmobile Toronado. The RWD description in the original listing is not correct.


Request import and registration documentation as no compliance plate was identified in the available photos.
