1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible

Family owned

 

This unique 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible was purchased new by my father from Coral Cadillac in Pompano Bch, Florida.  It was his Florida car from 1985 until he passed away in 1996. I took the car, at that time with less than 45k miles, and drove it to my home in N Carolina, where it was driven for special occasions and sunny days, until I moved to Montana, when I put it in storage in our family's garage, in Ohio, for 5 years. During that time, it was started weekly but driven sparingly until I drove it across country from Ohio to MT in the summer of 2006. It has always been garaged since new...in Florida an air conditioned garage, in NC, and OH, and now in Montana a heated garage. I am the second registered owner of this 1 family owned vehicle.

I have just sold my home (with the heated garage) and moved into a smaller home with a single garage. I need the space, so I am offering to sell my Dad's car to someone who will enjoy it, and appreciate the uniqueness of the vehicle.

This is not a show car, but a very clean driver that is ALL original. There are a few things that need to be addressed: being a FL car, the bottoms of the doors are showing some rust that should be fixed; the driver's seat has minimal wear on the edges from 28 yrs of use (all original); the top, also original, is showing it's age with 2 tears at the corners from having the top down, and around the glass rear window; the exhaust resonator has a small hole and should be replaced; there is a small leak in the heater core that causes a fine mist to come from the AC when used. Other than that, Cadillac's HT4100 engine runs well. It has not had the normal main bearing problems most other 4100's had. The right rear quarter window motor operates, but the flexible cable has broken so the window has to be pushed down manually. It will raise with the motor. I have 2 replacement flexible gear cables. I also have a new-old stock OEM replacement convertible top, but without pads, cables, or rear window. The tires were replaced in the summer of 2006 before driving across country, and have less than 10,000 miles on them.

The mileage is accurate and original at 69518. Everything works including the cruise, power antennae, power seats, power top, dual power mirrors, automatic headlight sentinel, radio (except the cassette), the AC, the on-board fuel economy computer, digital speedo, fuel guage, and miles to empty, power closing trunk, and even the automatic leveling system. I replaced the original carpeted floor mats with reproduction, full width, mats in the late 90's, and still have the original mats in the trunk, along with the original trunk mat, and convertible top boot.

The car is located in the northwestern part of Montana...Whitefish, MT, near Glacier National Park...easily accessed by air via Delta, United, or Alaska airlines. It is the buyer's responsibility to arrange pickup or shipping. I do have access to car haulers who will arrange shipping to any part of the USA for a competitive cost. It is also advertised locally, and I have the right to end the auction early of sold locally.

I am offering this rare Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible at a very reasonable beginning price and reserve. Please do not ask the reserve. If you want to purchased the car, please bid accordingly.

Cadillac ATS to go racing in 2015 as CTS.V.R replacement

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

Cadillac has been racking up victories with the CTS.V.R in Pirelli World Challenge racing for two model generations now, including recent GT class championships in 2012 and 2013. However, even winning racers eventually have to retire, and it looks like the CTS may be taking a bow at the end of the season. In its place, Caddy is reportedly working on a new racecar based on the ATS Coupe, and it might even get to compete internationally.
According to Racer, Pratt & Miller Engineering is leading the development and is already lapping the ATS racecar in Michigan for testing. It reportedly drops the CTS' V8 in favor of a twin-turbocharged V6 powering the rear wheels. Since this is the same team behind the hugely successful Corvette Racing program and the current CTS.V.R, the latest car appears to be in good hands.
The new model would also adhere to GT3 rules, according to Racer, and that might signal a big change for Cadillac's motorsports program. It means that the ATS could be sold to teams in the numerous series around the world that accept these vehicles. That would broaden the luxury coupe's exposure and put it up against GT3 racecars from premium brands, like Bentley, Porsche and McLaren. If it wins, the change could be a marketing bonanza for the brand.

2015 Cadillac ATS-V gunning for the BMW M3

Mon, 03 Jun 2013

Spy photographers have spotted something interesting. Cadillac engineers have taken to public streets with the upcoming ATS-V and a playmate: the current BMW M3 Sedan. The prototype seen here wears a more aggressive front fascia, flared fenders and beefy brakes. Quad exhaust tips and what looks to be a small lip spoiler on the trunk deck sum up the most obvious visual changes over the standard ATS outside. Word has it the ATS-V will bow with the same twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 available in the nose of the XTS. In that application, the engine is good for a stout 410 horsepower, which should be more than enough to hustle the sedan around a track.
Other details are still murky, however. First and foremost: will GM offer the ATS-V with an honest manual transmission, like it does with its big brother, the CTS-V? Something tells us we won't have long to wait to find out - the machine will likely bow next year as a 2015 model. Until then, dig in on our newest bevy of spy photos.

Cadillac chief says ATS convertible, wagon on the table

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

What we do know is that the ATS will wear at least one more bodystyle. That comes from Cadillac head Bob Ferguson, who answered "Absolutely" when Automotive News asked him about the possibility of another variant. What we don't know is what that bodystyle or styles will be.
We now have a sedan and coupe ATS, there's supposedly a V sedan coming. After that, a convertible is a likely option given that the man who just became the global product honcho at General Motors, Mark Reuss, admitted to having one already designed in 2012. The decision on it can't get out of the underworld and a wagon is the other option, but the droptop would seem to make the most sense if one considers the competitive set: the BMW 4 Series and Audi A5 convertibles are hot property and Mercedes is bringing a C-Class convertible. Meanwhile wagons are the sentimental utility vehicles that, refusing to die, seem forever destined for life support... CTS Sport Wagon, anyone?
Based on Ferguson's statements, it appears that what Cadillac definitely won't do is play model variant catch-up with the European luxury brands it has spent years hunting down, telling Automotive News, "We want to keep our focus on a limited number of vehicles and do them very well."
