1984 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

Description

When you know Caddys, you know to look for Biarritz, so to find a 1984 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz is an appealing collector coupe. More than just low mileage and affordable, you'll see as you read on that this is a loaded machine that has received all the right care over the decades.

The Biarritz is pure elegance. That stainless steel roof panel is an amazing tribute to the 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham, and it tells you just how much of a personal luxury vehicle this top-of-the-line coupe really is. The way that it seamlessly integrates into the style line that runs from the headlights and up the doors is an impressive touch. Of course, this special edition is all about a stylish and harmonized total presentation. For example, these coupes have just the right amount of chrome that cascades down the waterfall grille, and then naturally flows to the front bumpers, spreads to the lower valances, and pools on the rear bumper. Plus, the burgundy paint was refreshed along the way, and the way it coordinates so well with the half-vinyl roof feels downright European. Even the upgraded Collector's grille is a great decision point. You can either install the original one that comes with the sale, or you can complete the upgraded look with a continental kit that also comes with the sale (a $1,500 value). Even the pin-striping is a great harmonizing piece. It has red to coordinate with the exterior and within that is white to give you a preview of the interior.

When you open the door, you instantly understand what personal luxury is all about. The plush white leather seating is intact and rivals the best living rooms for comfort. Everybody has their own individual space separated by an armrest, and the front wheel drive layout means a flat floor, where each person has limo-worthy legroom. Everything you'd expect from Cadillac's flagship model comes in this coupe, including power windows, power locks, power seats, cruise control, tilt wheel, and a trip computer. Even the original AM/FM/cassette premium sound system is intact. There are so many adapters out there for modern music players that we think it would be a shame to spoil this unique atmosphere by replacing this very original radio. In fact, the only modern swap we can find is that the air conditioning system had everything you can't see replaced with new components running modern R134a to keep you cool over the long run. There's even a driver information center, which was quite cutting edge because the computer was constantly in contact with Cadillac's "High Technology" engine.

Cadillac's 4.1-liter V8 utilized lightweight aluminum construction and fuel injection to give it the kind of brisk acceleration that keeps this coupe worthy of its Eldorado heritage. On a coupe that's so factory-correct thus far, you'll be happy to see the numbers-matching V8 still under the hood. Plus, with signs of good maintenance (including a full new exhaust system) and averaging less than 1,700 miles annually, this Caddy has been kept in good running condition. These cars are designed for all-day comfort even on the highway, and so the motor is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The feeling on the road is that incomparable Cadillac cloud, thanks to a fully-independent suspension with air shocks out back. Four-wheel disc brakes were also standard equipment on the Eldorado, and they were serviced 2,500 miles ago, so this cushy coupe also has some sharp moves on the road.

Complete with the original warranty card, owner's manual, and title documentation, these Eldorados are becoming sought-after as they cross the threshold into true classic car territory. So to find a carefully maintained coupe with V8 power, a stellar interior, and ultimate Biarritz packaging makes it the top affordable collector's Caddy. Call now!
