This 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz was bought by my parents 06/02/1990 or nearly 25 years ago. The car came out of Tulsa Oklahoma and was one of only a few Black convertibles made by Cadillac in their final year for them. (Have been told around 200 black ones but no proof) It currently has 80040 original miles on it and with a 1000 dollars or so spent would be show ready. It does not have a spot of rust on it and looks beautiful from the road. All gold trim except luggage rack which was bought and is in trunk ready to be installed. The black original paint is actually in very good shape and the convertible top is nearly flawless. It goes up and down like clock work. As for outside of car, the only things I feel that need replaced are the plastic pieces that have gotten brittle over the years. Both front corner and both back pieces where trunk opens have cracks etc and could used replaced. The red interior has no dash cracks and no tears or worn spots on seats. Carpet is in great shape. The buttons of the interior have some minor discoloration but may just need cleaned. Inside the radio clock works but radio does not currently but has before went into storage. The air could also use some Freon but all power options work fine etc. As for other minor things I would do is I would put on a new tailpipe and eventually tires will need replaced as they have 35000 miles on them. After getting out of storage we replaced the fuel pump where the garage guys drooled over the car and it has ran great. Starts right up etc. Remember this is a nearly 30 year old car but for its age, it is in excellent shape. I have been on ebay since the beginning nearly 20 years ago and have perfect feedback and don't want this to mess it up so am trying to explain everything I can find or see. I can text many more pics from my phone and car is welcome to be looked at etc if you can get here. I am near Springfield Illinois. The title is clear and ready for a new owner and a little tlc will produce a beauty! Please ask any questions before bidding and remember if you bid you will be expected to buy. Otherwise car can be picked up or will work with shipper at your expense.
Added: 4/30/13: Thank you for all of the quick interest and responses. Just to answer a few for all. Yes, the car is for sale locally and yes I am willing to do a buy it now of 18,000 if anyone is interested before it gets a bid. Yes, if a bid is placed, it is going to the highest bidder even if it is only one bid on the opening bid. My dad saw one sell for nearly 20,000 recently on ebay and decided he never uses and is willing to part with. Also, sorry but he is not interested in taking less than the opening bid. Hopefully this helps clarify many of your questions and thank you again.

President Trump's new limo spotted testing at high speed
Thu, May 25 2017What you're looking at is no ordinary limo. Look past the swirly camouflage and you'll see what appears to be a Cadillac, but don't let those looks fool you. This is the new Beast, otherwise known as Cadillac One, and codenamed by the Secret Service as Stagecoach. This is the car that will shuttle President Trump to and fro. It's hard to get a sense of scale from these images, but this car is huge. It's very likely built atop a heavy-duty truck platform, which is necessary due to the thick armor-like bodywork that's hermetically sealed to keep POTUS safe and sound. It's hard to tell for certain, but it appears this Beastie is riding on Goodyear Regional RHS II tires, which would otherwise be used on trucks and buses. Translation: this thing is heavy. The Beast is ostensibly badged as a Cadillac, and it wears the latest version of Caddy's corporate grille, badge, and upright headlamps at the front. From the rear, there's a hint of Rolls-Royce Phantom, with rear glass that tapers elegantly into the deck lid. In between is a massive slab-sided passenger compartment that's rumored to seat as many as seven passengers. These shots were snapped at GM's Milford Proving Grounds. It seems The Beast is undergoing some high-speed tests, though high-speed here is relative. Those Goodyears are only rated for 70 miles per hour or so, and we doubt the big 8.1-liter gasoline-fueled V8 engine is geared to push the President much faster than that, anyway. Related Video:
GM announces 3 new recalls affecting 1.7M vehicles in North America [w/video]
Mon, Mar 17 2014Still embroiled in the ongoing ignition switch recall, General Motors announced today three more discrete recalls, affecting a grand total of 1,546,900 vehicles in the US. The Detroit News reports that some 1.7 million vehicles are affected overall in North America. The first and largest of the trio of new recalls concerns some 1.18-million Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia crossovers from the 2008-2013 model years, Chevrolet Traverse from 2009-2013 (pictured above) and Saturn Outlook vehicles from 2008-2010. All of the crossover utilities may have an issue with the wiring harness for their seat-mounted side airbags. Apparently, the vehicles are equipped with a Service Air Bag warning light that, if ignored, "will eventually result in the non-deployment of the side impact restraints." Those restraints include the side airbags, a front-center airbag if the vehicle is so equipped and seatbelt pretensioners. Dealers of affected vehicles will be instructed to remove driver and passenger side airbag wiring harness connectors, and then "splice and solder the wires together." The second recall affects 303,000 Chevrolet Express (pictured right) and GMC Savana vans from model years 2009-2014, and with gross vehicle weights under 10,000 pounds. Said vehicles do not comply with a head impact requirement for unrestrained occupants, and will need a reworking of the instrument panel material to be sent back on the road. It doesn't sound as though there's a quick fix for this one, as the GM press release states: "Unsold vehicles have been placed on a stop delivery until development of the solution has been completed and parts are available." Finally, the third recall affects 63,900 Cadillac XTS luxury sedans from model years 2013 and 2014. A brake booster pump may be susceptible to corrosion by way of the relay, potentially causing and electrical short, overheating, melting of plastic components and even engine fires. GM says it is aware of two engine fires in unsold XTS models and two cases of melted parts. Repairs for the issues affecting the XTS have not not mentioned by GM in the release. The Detroit News is also reporting that along with news of the triple-recall, GM is taking a $300-million credit to help pay for the repair costs, and to deal with the ongoing costs associated with the ignition switch recall. In an attempt to explain just what GM has been doing in the face of these very serious issues, newly minted CEO Mary Barra has addressed the issues in a new video.
