I've rebuilt the GM turbo 400 transmission twice since I've owned the car. about every 120 thousand miles.
The convertible top and the leather seats only last about 75K between replacement.
The motor is a real trooper, it went 220,000 before I finally rebuilt it, but it was still running strong, it just made lots of smoke.
Exhaust systems last 100,000 on average.
This is a great car. One of GM's not so stellar visual designs, but mechanically it has a heart if iron. It will NEVER leave you stranded if you treat it right. Change your oil and drive around the world as many times as you want.
I've replaced the body due to rust and accidents.
"Not so stellar visual designs"
A matter of preference. I like the 70 more than any other cadillac than perhaps the 57's and the 64's.
This is one of the best cars I've owned. The car literally floats down the road!
Yes, it's big & boxy, but it's a classic Cadillac. They certainly don't make them like this anymore. This is when a Caddy looked like a Caddy -- it had the tail fins. Now they all look alike.
No doubt, now Cadillacs look like just another Chevy sedan.
Yep, have a 70 coupe with 130,000 miles and other than a little drip on the garage floor that car is a jugernaut. Any feedback from other 70 coupe owners or buyers would be welcome @ boaeder65@gmail.com.
