Nos 1973-1978 Cadillac Eldorado Goodyear Spare Tire W/bumper Jack & Bracket on 2040-parts.com
La Verkin, Utah, US
The wheel/tire are original to a 1978 Eldorado, I dont believe it has ever been mounted to a hub, I would be willing to bet its never been out of the trunk since GM put it there in 1977.. The paint is perfect, the nipples are all present, no scratches around the lug holes, and the GM instruction/warning sticker is still attached, all that tells me its NOS..
There is some light surface rust on the wheel, 10 minute fix, the tire itself is beautiful, its not dried out, no cracking, I would say she is good to go.. But if it were me, I'd go through the GM instruction/recommendations and mount it, especially if there is the possibility it may be called upon in an emergency.. A means of inflating the tire will be needed, no can of tire inflator will be included, I recommend every vehicle have a 12 volt compressor onboard at all times, regardless if there is a can of tire inflator..
The Jack I almost dont wanna give it up, if I didnt have 3 already I wouldn t, the bumper jacks out of the old Caddies, Lincolns, land yachts are far and away the best jacks ever made in my opinion.. You couldn't give me a handy man killer jack.. This jack is in fantastic condition, having a few spots of surface rust, I cleaned and oiled it, works perfect with a nice crisp click to it, as it should being it was still attached to the bracket..
The jacks floor plate had just a few light scratches on it, maybe used a couple times, it had some surface rust so I shot a little paint on it.. The mounting pin and wing nuts are included as well, no tire iron will be included..
It will likely be shipped in 2 packages, I think it will be cheaper going this route, because if I ship the wheel/tire in one package it will be heavy, but it won't be BIG & HEAVY, if I add the jack all of a sudden it will be BIG.. Regardless, I dont do the make money on shipping like so many do, I charge exactly what USPS/UPS/Fedex charges me, I dont add for a box, tape, glue, wrap, label, time, nothing, and I have the cost printed on the label.. So dont be alarmed at the shipping cost, I will refund the difference back right then, if it goes beyond, I will eat it.. Oh I forgot, I must apologize for the photos, I'm sorry I just got a new camera and its killin me.. Feedback is there, stop on in and have a look..
Thanks for looking.. If you need 78 Eldo parts, shoot me an email of what it is you need, I may just have it, cant hurt to ask..
Lastly, words of wisdom from my grandfather, if the shoe fits, wear it.. " If you dont have any money to spend, then you have no reason to be in a store" Words I've lived by all my life, simple, respectful stuff.. Because I think many assume for whatever reason, doesnt matter, what does matter is the truth/reality is.. I like most are 1 man operations, no Walmart/Chase Manhattan unlimited resources, no 1 cent, free shipping from China listings, rest assured I wont be guilty of helping them finish off whats left of America's infrastructure, we already have 250 million Americans buying their 1 billion slave labor force made junk, good for nothing crap.. Nope none of that, just me, myself, and I ...
There ya have it.. God bless 1978 Eldorados, Ford trucks, Dallas Cowboys, junk yards, beautiful woman, BBQs, guns, bigger guns, Southern Utah, YOU, and beer 2.. Oh and I really appreciate * Buy it Nows * I just dont appreciate you know who charging me more money to have this option in my listing, 25% just isnt enough.. Why stop at 25 when 30 is possible ?? Have a fair offer, remember fair, 2 way street, email me..
