1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible "25" Original Miles!

This is a "pristine" 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. It has a very desirable color combination of red with white interior. The car has 25 original miles. Yes, you read that right! Let me spell that out...TWENTY-FIVE...not 2500, not 250....25!

Let me give you a little history about this car because I am sure you are scratching your head in disbelief and confusion. I purchased this car in 2009 from a collector in NJ. I knew the owner well and he took good care of the car and never drove it. He purchased the car in 2003 from the estate of a collector and his car museum in NC.I have all the proper documentation of this sale and an odometer statement from 2003. If you look at the images provided in this listing, you will see that the original window sticker is still on the car. The car originally came from a dealership in Los Angeles called "Thomas Cadillac.” The dealership was run by LaRue Thomas and it was located at West 7th Street/Bixel. LaRue Thomas also had a museum on the 6th floor of the building with over 100 cars. I believe this car was moved straight from the showroom floor to the museum floor when they realized it would be "the last of the big convertibles.” In 1989 they closed the business and sold the building. The cars were moved to a warehouse. His collection was ultimately sold and dispersed in 1993.

I am not a "car guy" and bought it as an investment in 2009 because I knew the collector and how meticulous he was at taking care of his cars. I've had it for 10 years and I am ready to sell. This has to be one of the lowest mileage cars from the era. It belongs in an advanced Cadillac collection or even a museum! If you are a serious buyer then you will probably want to come and see it in person.

Someone mentioned that the hubcaps aren't the factory 76 Eldorado. I was told by a collector that the rims are original but someone had them completely chromed and then added chrome baby moon hub caps to snap on to the center of the rim...and finally adding the Cadillac Logo to the chrome baby moons.
