1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. Last year for the full size Eldorado.
Probably one of the nicest example ever to hit ebay. This is really a buying opportunity. This car has been kept in a temperature controlled environment. as part of a collection. I rarely ever sell a car from my collection. but another opportunity has become available and space being an issue ( you can't ever have enough) I've decided to sell it. I am not a car dealer. nor do I buy cars with the intent to just turn them. I had looked long and hard before finding this one. The car has 11. 58 original very well documented miles. as records of the state inspection were kept. and will remain with the car. Everything works and performs as it should. I've included lots of pictures from just about every conceivable angle in order to show the cars condition. even a shot of the carburetor. I've taken close up pictures of the factory pin stripes. which show the factory connection where the two stripes meet which are actually one piece. in order to show that it's all original paint under them. with the exception of the plastic filler ends. which have been replaced. The glass is in perfect condition. no scratches. I welcome by appointment anyone that wants to view the car in person. This car was also featured in a hard cover book about Cadillacs. and it represents the 1978 model year. I've included pictures of the car in the book as well as the photograph that was taken at the time. in order to prove it's legitimacy. If you're looking for a super nice example for your collection. this is the car. There is no rust anywhere on this car. not even in the normal known locations. and the reason is because of how it has been stored. The # 1 thing to consider as it reflects everything about the car. When I purchased this Cadillac. the original tires were still on the car. but because of their age. the tires were starting to show signs that would not be safe to drive. and since I wanted to take the car to local car shows. I decided it was better to replace them.  When the original tires were removed. I took that opportunity to have the factory wheels ash blasted and re-coated with the proper black tone. The new tires are the proper size Vogue White Wall Yellow Stripe as seen in the pictures. Tires still show the nipple strands from production as they have hardly any miles on them.  Included with the car are all the rare factory books with samples of interior and exterior options. these books are rare and are highly collectible and have sold for hundreds of dollars in this condition. Also included are the original Cadillac keys given out by the dealer at the time of the original purchase and still in it's original packet. The owners manual as well as all the other booklets are still in excellent condition and will remain with the car.
The term you get what you pay for applies here. those that are hard core collectors know this better than anyone else.
The picture were taken about a week ago. and nothing including the engine compartment has been all dolled up just for the pictures. You're looking at the car pretty much the way that I got it.
The pictures were taken with the eye of a real collector (me) with plenty of automotive background and history knowledge. The pictures were also taken so that you could see what I would be looking for. when I'm on the hunt for a super nice car. Condition of rubber and seals in general. and in this cars case in exceptional condition. The reflection side shot. tells a lot about the side panels. your looking for abnormal distorted reflections. this car has none. The body lines and the joints. the chrome including all moldings. the wheel wells. the door jams. Interior you're looking at the molding. dash. door panels for any signs of unusual wear or warpness for the mileage and the stated condition of the car. you want to make sure it matches. If it sounds like I'm way too picky. I am. I've been told by other car enthusiast like myself this many times. but hey. cars have always been a big part of my life.

Note: The car is not from Montana as the license plate would have you believe. but when I saw that plate on ebay. I couldn't pass on the opportunity to buy it for this car.
