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.
