      @markvar2000 my dad and mother got married in 1980 and at the time he had a 69 convertible with a 500. He left it at his uncle's house for years and at some point it got drug out into the pasture and his cousin's busted the windows out of it and shot it up and shot it up. When I was about 9 he went and got it and brought it home but it was too far gone for him to fix so he scrapped it

    Thanks Dennis & crew for great videos. I actually drove one like this back in 1975 or 76. It was all white outside and inside. I was just a young Norwegian kid working at a resort on Lake of the Woods, Ont. Canada. The old American owner used to be a regular guest at New Moon Lodge for many years. He never liked to back his Cadillac onto the narrow dock to unload his luggage and fishing gear. So he made me do it and then drive it up to the parking lot. Never drove one again, but I will never forget it. What a CAR! Greetings from Bergen, Norway.

    My dad had a 1975 Eldorado when i graduated in 75. Was an amazing car. Big and heavy but he would punch it off the line and it would leave about 10' of rubber. Fairly quick for the time and being so large. Great memories. Thanks Dennis and crew.

    OMG! ❤ When the garage opened my heart fluttered. I bought a 71 Eldo Convertible in Cypress Green from a former Professor @ Notre Dame in South Bend, IN sometime in the early 90s. And yes the 500 did make a good bit of HP. It surely seemed odd though when you punched it off the stop and smoke flowed passed the front windows!!! Most folks had no Idea they were front wheel drive! And man, did they go like a tank through snow! I only had it for a few weeks and flipped it for $500 profit which was huge back then but it surely was a dream to drive while it was mine!

  • @phillipanderson2607

    Cool drop top cadi. This reminds me of the clint Eastwood movie. Thunderbolt and Lightfoot where at the end of the movie clint buys a brand new 1973 white with lipstick red interior convertible Eldorado Cadillac for his friend. After they got robbery money. Cool video. Jeff bridges is in the movie too. I always look forward to seeing Coffee Walks with Dennis Collins videos . Thanks for preserving the cars from the past for future generations to see. Its like going back into time every time I see old cars resurrected back to life😊. Great video 😊

    My Dad worked for Bland Cadillac in Houston for 26 years as a mechanic. He was able to purchase for our family car a pre-owned 72' Eldorado Cadillac which I drove, one of my brothers also drove and it ended up being a complete family driven car. Our family was only the second owner of the vehicle. The first owner was an elderly woman that just drove the car to church and home. It was silver-blue in color. Beautiful car and one of a kind with the huge engine and luxury at it's best.

    I was the proud owner of a 72 Eldorado convertible during my Army Career. Had it shipped to Hawaii for a two year tour. It truly was a lady magnet in 1986 and 1987. Interestingly, in the early 70's, the United States was far from having the use of the metric system common place in every day life. Yet, there it was on the front fenders 8.2L instead of 500, which seemed more American to me.

Wasn’t much for aftermarket cams or intakes. Had a 70 eldo 500 and a 71 472. The highest compression and first year for dropped. 71 ran well on 93.
