Its getting harder and harder to find examples of these Classic Cadillacs with this type of low mileage. This is a 59,000 mile 2 owner example of the Classic Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. When introduced in 1979, it was an instant hit. It had a knife edge design that was timeless. The Biarritz was the top of the line with unique design features including distinctive chrome trim, more elaborate interior, and a stainless steel roof like the Cadillac Broughams of the 1950s. This example takes it a few steps further and is loaded with all the rarest options available in 1979. It has the factory alloy wheels, which are almost never seen along with a factory AM/FM CB radio, as well as the rarest option, the diesel V8 which allows this car to get very high fuel mileage. While malined when new by a untrusting public, the GM diesels of the era are now becoming sought after for their reliability and economy. If you are a collector, this is really a Cadillac of the 1970s & 1980s that literally checks all the boxes. I have never personally seen one as loaded as this one. This Cadillac was sold new locally at Al Salyer Cadillac in Norman Oklahoma. According to the books and records and the sticker on the front, It was a VIP service club car that was given a very high amount of attention. After a few years, It was purchased by the last owner as a lightly used car. It was driven for several years as daily transport along with several other cars he had. During this time, the owner started a large collection of Classic and special interest cars featuring the Cadillac Marque. When this car was retired from daily use, he kept it as another low mileage car in his collection, only disposing of it this year along with a large number of other cars. This car has 59,000 miles and it shows. The chrome, interior, engine bay and details are very nice and have been detailed recently to really bring out the quality of this car. While in storage, the car was regularly started and occasionally driven, however, it will need at least thoruogh service and tires to be driven any distance. It runs great and drives though as it is. There are no bad engine noises, smoke etc. and the transmission and brakes perform as they should. Cosmetically it is in good shape and while not perfect, presents well and has a good lustre. The car has mostly all original paint, and while good looking and shiny, the paint has some imperfections, knicks and scratches, etc. It could use a good detail, or finish to your own desire of perfection. The interior is all original and looks great. The leather is soft and in good shape as is the rest of the inside including the carpet, panels and headliner. There are some cracks in the door panels from age, but could be fixed easily by a vinyl repair service. Furthermore, the trunk liner and mat/spare tire cover are all in good shape and look great. Overall, if you are looking for a very nice low mileage driver that you can finish to your requirements, this could be your car! While not perfect, it is hard to find such a nice example, especially in this price range. Terms: This car must be paid for within 5 days of auction end.
