The $120,000 1963 Eldorado on Bring a Trailer

[Jason Edge]

I have got a flood of email, texts, about the 63 Eldo that recently bid up to $120,000 and thought I would share for those that have not seen it.

Here is the link: Click Here

My quick gut reaction: Pretty average under carriage and under hood, with a few minor blemishes (and very non original tires), but super nice overall.  I did take a close look at the brake pedal for wear, and interior, trunk, and could see it being a true 38K mile car as advertised.

Here is a picture but you can see like 190 pictures at the link:

There was a '64 Eldo that recently went for $91,500. If nothing else, we can show these to our spouses when they complain we are spending too much on our cars, lol!

Or, you can tell them you are investing in their future in case you kick the bucket before they do!

Is this a California emissions thing? I don't remember ever seeing this on a 63. https://bringatrailer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/IMG_2324-2-803...

Yes, that is at least part of the California closed ventilation system used on 1964 Cadillacs starting with VIN #057000. The other part was an orange painted non-vented oil filler cap. This car has a black cap so it could be a non-vented cap painted over black at some point, or a non-original cap. It is likely this was a California car since it has the air cleaner, tube, and valve cover for the closed system. I have pulled in at least 1 CA parts car over the years, maybe 2. At first I didn't know what I was looking at. If you can find a NOS orange CA cap it is worth some money.

See serviceman bulletin and example of orange cap below.
