Vehicle Detail

Collector Owned 1977 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Cotillion White White Leather Interior White Vinyl Top Sunroof 425 Cubic Inch 8 Cylinder, 4 Barrel Carburetor 121,458 original miles! Collector Owned since 1-29-87 6L4757Q249666, VIN Number Charlotte, North Carolina Well cars like this one just don’t come around every day, and the good ones are super hard to find! Here is one worth looking at for your personal collection or weekend car show cruiser, and/or weekend pleasure car… Two owners only on this one and still owned by the same family since 1987. The car was mostly used for “Show and Tell”, car shows, cruises, etc., and was very babied by its meticulous collector owner, which it shows! These cars were the “king of the road” back in 1977, and this Eldorado is fully loaded, with nearly all available options for the year including the highly desirable Biarritz trim package, a dealer installed Sunroof, Power Seats with Power Recliner on the Passenger Seat, AM/FM Stereo Radio with 8 Track Player and Power Antenna, Cruise Control, Automatic Climate Control, Power Windows, Locks, Steering, Brakes, and gorgeous leather interior with no cracks and very little signs of wear, with contrasting red dash and red carpeting. The chrome Cadillac OEM hubcaps really set it off too! They are newly restored and have no scratches or imperfections, and were installed last week to replace faded original ones. They are ready for the new owner to enjoy! Still also, you will be pleased to note that even the Cruise Control and Power Antenna work, commonly inoperable in these cars. The car is super comfortable, has quite a bit of power for such a large car, and drives quietly, straight, and smooth. The engine and transmission perform as they should with no issues. The Air Conditioner blow cold and the Heater hot and the interior blower fan works perfectly on all speeds, and turns off and/or on as needed and as required based upon the setting on the thermostat. Next, all interior and exterior lighting works, even the outside opera lamps mounted on the vinyl roof! All of the windows and door locks work. The stereo plays beautifully and all speakers are alive with great sound. The car was carefully maintained over the years, with many records since 1987 available to the new owner. Some of the notable items serviced are: · Repainted front and rear bumper fillers · Driver’s side and passenger’s side interior door panels for show quality! · Generator · Radiator · Coker Wide Whitewall Tires · Interior Armrests · Brakes, including pads, hoses, rotors · Routine service of all fluids as needed. · Engine exhaust manifold · Valve Cover Gaskets · Air Conditioning Compressor and Condenser (R12) Next of all, the car was just fully inspected and serviced by a veteran Cadillac Master Technician, and the following items were performed dated 4/12/14, in preparation of the car for its next owner and as part of a “Spring Service” : 1. Changed oil and filter – Synthetic Oil Dexos 5w30. 2. Removed carburetor from the engine and fully rebuilt and overhauled it. 3. Replaced spark plugs and wires, distributor cap, and rotor. Other details along these lines for optimum performance. 4. Replaced mechanical advance and vacuum advance, and set timing. 5. Replaced vacuum lines and PCV valve. 6. Replaced grommet for engine breather on left side. 7. Charged AC, added oil and 3 1/2 lbs. of R-12. 8. Lubed all hinges and latches. 9. Replaced left front turn/park lamp, socket, and bulb. 10. Installed OEM restored chrome finish hubcaps for a “fresh” look. Original caps with white centers will go with the car to the next owner. 11. Topped off coolant level. 12. Lubed speedometer cable. Car is in amazingly solid condition for the year and for the age. Mileage is low, and original! Our mechanic also observed a few items that will still need attention soon, including: · CV Axle Boots · Front control arm bushings and ball joints. · Rear control arm bushings. · Transmission pan gasket replacement – a few drips a week from this area on the garage floor. · Oil pan gasket replacement – no drips on garage floor at this time, but precaution for the future. · Original clock isn’t working but twice daily when it is 8:00! · Passenger Side Vanity Mirror doesn’t illuminate. · Sunroof currently doesn’t open or close, but sunshade inside can be manually opened or closed. The glass portion will not move. The sunroof does not leak. In the interest of disclosure, these are the only items found on the car in need attention soon. Cosmetically, the car presents super well to everyone and the paint is in good condition. It was repainted some time ago, and still has a lot of luster and shine. The vinyl top also shows well, and remains supple and soft, but has two small cracks along the trim belt line as shown via the link to the "more photos" via Photobucket below. In the interest of originality, I wouldn't worry about it at this point as the car shows fine and many don't even notice the imperfection, but keep this in mind for the future. Meanwhile, check out the link to added photos of the car, from many aspects and angles: http://s1157.photobucket.com/user/tradow1/slideshow/1977%20Cadillac%20Eldorado%20Biarritz Car is located in Charlotte, North Carolina.
