1968 Cadillac Eldorado

1968 Cadillac Eldorado For Sale1968 Cadillac Eldorado finished in triple black - exterior paint, vinyl top, and interior - fresh off a full frame-off restoration completed by Velek Restorations in Ohio. The car was restored using its original equipment, brought back to manufacturer specifications, and has been driven approximately 100 miles since completion. It remains exceptionally clean inside, outside, and underneath.Power comes from Cadillac's original 472 cubic-inch V8 paired with the factory Turbo 425 3-speed automatic. The powertrain was fully overhauled during the restoration, retaining the correct front-wheel-drive layout that made the '68 Eldorado so distinctive. This drivetrain, adapted from the Oldsmobile Toronado, gave Cadillac a radical departure from traditional American luxury engineering and helped set the Eldorado apart during its era.The suspension and braking systems were refreshed as part of the restoration as well. It now rides on new tires, and stopping power comes from new front disc brakes and new rear drums. The car carries its correct 2.94 gear ratio.1968 marked a turning point for the Eldorado, transforming it from a niche personal-luxury coupe into a true sales success. Its hidden headlights, massive grille, and long, clean bodylines gave it unmistakable road presence then and now. Cadillac positioned it as the more powerful, more prestigious answer to the Ford Thunderbird and Buick Riviera, and collectors today appreciate its blend of rarity, innovation, and late-1960s opulence.This example's fresh restoration, triple-black presentation, and adherence to factory specifications make it a standout among surviving '68 Eldorados.See the \"videos\" tab above this description box for a cold start and walk around.
