An Extraordinary example of a fine restoration done right. Everything fabricated Correct to factory specifications with not a single dollar spared and extra special attention given to every last detail. You would be hard pressed to find a finer example of a Show quality 62 Eldorado anywhere in the world.
In 1962 if you walked into the Cadillac dealer showroom they had many models to offer. If you wanted the very "top of the line" with all modern technologies and comforts you purchased the "Eldorado Biarritz". The very best Cadillac had the offer, a model that ONLY came in a Convertible. Fully loaded with power options including 6 way power seats, cruise control, windows, locks, convertible top, brakes, antenna, auto dimming headlights, auto trunk lid and much more.
This is a complete and total "frame on" restoration. Everything that can break and needs replacing has been replaced on this vehicle with no expense spared.
A list of items repaired, restored or replaced as follows:
New Convertible (Cr`eme) Top, New Radiator, New Heater Core, Refurbished "Wonderbar" Radio, New T-3 Headlights all around, New control valve, New Convertible hydraulic motor and lines, New Genuine Leather interior, Refurbished door panels and Sun visors, New Eldorado only option Parade Boot, New Carpeting, New front and Rear bumpers (Show Quality Chrome), New Brakes including Master Cylinder and hose lines, all 4 Wheel Cylinders and Break booster, Rebuilt Speedometer, New Fuel sending unit, New voltage regulator, Rebuilt Generator, 5 Brand New 235X75R15 Whitewall Mastercraft tires, Rebuilt windshield wiper motor, New wiper blades, New Front and Rear Springs, New A/C Delco Shocks all around, New factory correct "Tar-Top" A/C Delco Battery, Refurbished clock, New 6 way power electric seat motor, New Rubber seals for trunk, New door and window weather seals all around, Rebuilt Transmission, New front and rear correct 62 Cadillac floor mats and more...
As you can see from the photos this is a Show quality restoration that commands attention wherever it goes. Everything on car works as should. Car starts, drives, stops, shifts all as smoothly as a Cadillac should. There is no visible rust anywhere on this car. All interior and exterior lighting works as well as the turn signaling and horn. Car was painted 5 years ago in basecoat/clearcoat Cadillac color Driftwood Beige and interior is freshly NEW using Genuine Leather interior in a color combination known as Sandalwood. Every chrome and stainless piece has been polished or replaced making this Eldorado gleam in the Florida sun.
There were 160,840 Cadillac's produced in 1962 with only 1450 of them being an Eldorado Biarritz. There are believed to be less than 100 of these left in existence today and most of them are NOT in this restored condition. Most others are originals or now older restorations that need attention. Paint is near perfect, chrome is show and interior is Brand New leather (perfect). Everything is back "Original" to 1962 with no customization. This Eldorado needs nothing now to be considered show quality and is far beyond road worthy.
Anyone interested in this Vehicle needs to understand that with very few things to "Invest" money in nowadays, as long as kept in cool dry storage this Eldorado will skyrocket further in value in soon coming years.
Nada Values a 62 Series which was the entry level Convertible model at $47,300 currently.

This Eldorado Biarritz is a top level model. Years 1955-1961 Eldorado's are all worth near or over $100K this 1962 is next in line to head in that direction. We are honestly very sad to have to sell.
We would like to see this car go to good home who will take care of it and appreciate it as much as we have.

C7 Corvette won't spawn new Cadillac XLR [w/video]
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Between the new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray and the even newer Cadillac Elmiraj Concept shown off at Pebble Beach, we were already expecting some sort of chatter of a Cadillac XLR redux. During an in-depth C7 Corvette discussion with Tadge Juechter, the car's chief engineer, Fox News asked if a Corvette-based, Bowling Green-built Cadillac will be built off the C7. Non-spoiler alert: the answer is no.
Juechter says that General Motors has "no intent" on transforming this car into a Cadillac product since the C7 has been optimized for the Corvette buyer, a consumer that's generally a different sort of person than a Cadillac intender who might also be cross-shopping a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class or BMW 6 Series.
While we're not ready to write off a future XLR altogether, we assume that the Corvette Cadillac experiment is most likely never going to happen again. The interview with Juechter is posted below, but the XLR discussion comes in at the 9:00 mark.
Junkyard Gem: 1973 Cadillac Eldorado
Mon, Jun 13 2016The 1971-1978 Cadillac Eldorado was a gloriously ridiculous personal luxury coupe, packing a monstrous 500-cubic-inch V8 (that's 8.2 liters for you freedom-hating metric types) under its acre-sized hood for the first five years of production. Fuel economy was comfortably into single-digit territory, which meant you had to be a real high roller to be able to feed a new Eldo after OPEC turned off the oil spigot. I found this '73 in a Denver wrecking yard earlier this spring. View 18 Photos This car appears to have been sold new in Denver, and the extensive bodywork and sanded areas indicate that it was someone's project car prior to coming to the end of the line. The front-wheel-drive system used in the Cadillac Eldorados and Oldsmobile Toronados of this era was known as the Unified Powerplant Package, and it used a longitudinally-mounted engine feeding a chain-drive setup that proved to be amazingly sturdy and reliable. So sturdy, in fact, that it was used in gigantic front-wheel-drive GMC motorhomes. Everyone agrees that these cars are cool, but few are willing to rescue a rough example and take on the difficult and expensive job of a full restoration. This one isn't rusty, but that wasn't enough to save it. Related Video:
Cadillac V-Performance Academy joins free driving school party
Sun, Sep 4 2016Just in case you needed another reason to want one of Cadillac's hottest performers, starting with the 2017 Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, the first owner of each vehicle can score a free two-day course at Spring Mountain Motor Resort with the V-Performance Academy. According to Spring Mountain's website, the V-Performance Academy "is designed for drivers of all experience levels and includes dynamic car control exercises, visual skill development, and proper cornering techniques," with "brief" classroom sessions sprinkled in. Driving programs like the V-Performance Academy are all the rage right now. In the last few weeks alone, both Fiat and Ford announced free one-day academies baked right into the price of cars like the 124 Abarth and Focus RS. As with the Ford and Fiat courses, Cadillac is providing the learner cars. But where those other courses call on vehicle owners to shell out for airfare, food, and in Fiat's case, lodging, Cadillac covers tuition – a $2,420 expense for non-owners – along with two nights in one of Spring Mountain's "luxury condominiums" and breakfast and lunch during both driving days. Students are still on the hook for airfare, although Caddy will shuttled attendees from Las Vegas McCarren to the track/resort, some 55 miles away. If you can't shell out for the flight to Las Vegas, a new CTS-V or ATS-V, or simply can't spare two days for a driving school, Cadillac is ramping up for another year of its one-day, traveling V-Performance Lab, which will run at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut and at Circuit of the Americas in Texas.
