Up for grabs is this mostly original 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Custom Biarritz Classic coupe. This was the swan song vehicle for the full size Eldorado, and late in 1978 this limited edition was released to commemorate the last of the full-size Eldorados. This is one of only 1999 made. I am selling this vehicle for a client of mine who purchased it several years ago from an estate sale to use as his daily driver. He is a vintage Cadillac collector and spares no expense when it comes to maintaining one of his "babies". The good: Many thousands of dollars were spent to make this vehicle drive like new. Interior is all original and is in excellent, unrestored condition. Everything works, including the AC and original 8-track player. This car has been thoroughly gone through mechanically over the past few years incuding: Gas tank clean and repair Carburator rebuilt Front shocks, bushings, wheel bearings, axles and idler arm replaced Rear wheel bearings re-packed Rear air shocks replaced and self-levelling system repaired Brake system flushed, new front calipers, pads and rotors all around, rear brake lines replaced Belts, hoses, thermostat, radiator and heater valve replaced Battery and Alternator replaced AC system charged New tires installed appx 8K miles ago, wheel alignment performed Front headlamps replaced with Halogen units, adjusters replaced Intake manifold gaskets and vacuum lines replaced Transmission serviced with new fluid and filter Recent full tune up; plugs, wires, air filters (Delco parts) Oil changes every 3K miles under current ownership with Mobil 5000 oil Interior very clean with little wear- all original, all accessories work including cruise control The bad: Rust is popping up in the rear quarters and at the bottoms of the doors and fenders- No structural rust! Vehicle was resprayed by the previous owner and proper rust repair was not done, but paint is shiny. There is some crazing and surface rust on the roof. Filler panels are in need of replacement. One hubcap is missing, but a non-painted one can be provided. In short, if you are looking for a perfect base for a restoration this is it. Or just add fuel and drive anywhere.My client is selling his two daily drivers to make room for another project.
