Rare '79 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz-western Saddle Metallic Firemist-nice!! on 2040-cars

1979 CADILLAC ELDORADO BIARRITZ

This is a Classic Cadillac.  Introduced in 1979, the trimmer, redesigned Eldorado was an instant hit .  The 1979 model year had the highly-desirable Oldsmobile fuel-injected, small-block 350CID (5.7 liter) V8 engine as well as features such as a long hood, egg-crate grill, frameless door glass and the extreme notchback roofline, making the rear window almost vertical.  The Biarritz trim package added the ultimate in luxury with additional chrome trim, a cabriolet roof featuring a brushed stainless steel roof section and an opulent interior.

This beautiful Cadillac was sold new locally at Lou Thompson Cadillac in Lakewood, Colorado.  It is a one-owner car  that was gently driven and always garaged.  Driven by Mom, obsessed over by Dad… it shows!

This car has 126,150 well-kept miles.  The interior, engine bay and details are very nice.   While in storage the past 10 years, the car was regularly started and occasionally driven (3000 miles over 10 years).  It runs and drives great -- there are no bad engine noises, smoke etc. and the transmission and brakes perform as they should.

Cosmetically, it is gorgeous.  The Western Saddle Metallic Firemist paint is absolutely stunning.  The color is carried through to the interior and roof for a rare triple-color combination.  The chrome is perfect, however, the paint does have some imperfections, most notably on the corner of the rear license plate deck.  There is no rust and it has never been in an accident.

The interior is all original with the exception of the factory radio, which was replaced with a Blaupunkt in-dash AM/FM autoreverse cassette deck.  The leather is soft and in good shape (with the exception of a small split seam on the leather passenger seat), as is the rest of the inside including the carpet, panels and headliner.    The trunk liner and mat/spare tire cover are all in good shape and look great.
