This is a head-turning example of a 1978 Eldorado Biarritz, the last of a breed. I bought this vehicle about 4 years ago after searching high and low for a triple yellow Biarritz. It had about 42K miles on it when I purchased it, now has 54K miles. This is a fantastic riding and driving car, very original with just maintenance items as would typically be needed for a car that is 36 years old. The paint is new and is a high-quality respray that came in at a cost of over $8,000 total. The fender extensions were replaced at the time of the repaint. The pin striping was replicated in the original color and pattern and is hand-painted instead of tape and looks very nice. The interior is in very good condition as well with very little wear. All power accessories work, including the clock, cruise, auto-dimming headlights, etc. The only thing I am aware of that doesn't work are the power seatback releases, which do not appear to have the wires attached. So, the seats just have to be released with the button on the seatback. The leather, carpets, headliner, etc look very nice as well, and the am/fm/8-track/CB radio works as well. Air conditioning blows cold and the heater is hot and it is all automatic climate control, of course. The 425 Cadillac engine starts every time and runs very smoothly with no issues. The transmission and rest of the drivetrain, brakes, etc all function as you would expect in a top of the line Cadillac. The auto-leveling rear suspension has no issues and keeps the rear end level regardless of the load in the trunk. I have taken this car on several road trips and wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere tomorrow. $500 PayPal deposit due at auction close, remainder is payable by certified funds.
