1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible 2-door 4.1l on 2040-cars
Tomball, Texas, United States
|
1984 was the first year that an option of RPO-YP8 was offered from the factory on the Cadillac Eldorado via the dealerships. Cadillac didn't actually build the convertibles in-house and, instead, contracted ASC/McLaren to convert the cars to fulfill the orders received via the dealers.
ASC is best known for being the same company that built the Buick GNX and special edition Ford Mustang, in addition to many other specialty-optioned cars. ASC also pioneered and developed the factory sunroof for most American cars. There were 3,300 produced in 1984 and only 2,300 in 1985. Most of the cars were ordered with nearly every single dealer option prior to being delivered to ASC. Some of the notable examples were an upgraded, heavier version of the "touring suspension," to compensate for the extra weight of the convertible as well as a 3:15 axle ratio to make it a bit quicker. It also features a heavy duty cooling system that has an upgraded intercooler for the engine and transmission. The only 2 options that the Convertibles could not get were the Bose sound system and memory seats. The buttons that would control the seats were, instead, used to lower the rear windows and the Bose package featuring enlarged speakers was omitted due to the fact there was no room in the rear for the larger speakers due to the convertible mechanisms. The car also received several modifications to reinforce the frame, subframe and support beams. This makes the underbody of the convertible more durable than the coupe as well as create a near 50/50 weight distribution. This particular car is originally from California and wears its original dealer bezel from Symes Cadillac around the license plate. At a staggeringly low 32,334 miles, (a few may be added prior to the sale due to weekend cruising) this car is virtually new. There are a few flaws to the car, however. The most noticeable is that the bumper fillers are missing; they succumbed to dry rot and haven't been replaced yet. Other faults include a few minor tears in the driver's side arm rest and a bad muffler. Otherwise, there is no rust on this car. You can see, via the spots where the bumper fillers go, that there is no rust behind any of the panels and that the car is as solid as when it left the factory. The paint is original to the car and it has never been repainted; barring the touch-up work that ASC did after they cut the roof off of the car when they built it. It runs and drives like a Cadillac should. The brakes were recently redone and the tires replaced before it made the trip down from Wisconsin. I have full receipts for around $2,000.00 worth of brake work to verify this. It has a clean Wisconsin title and is located in Tomball, TX; always stored indoors with the top up. The pictures speak for the quality of this car. It's nearly all original with only rubber components (belts, hoses, tires, etc) and brake parts being replaced. It's hard to find a car from this era in this condition, let alone one with so few miles. I have significantly lowered the reserve and, if the car doesn't sell this time, there will be no more eBay listings. I have the car listed locally on Craigslist and reserve the right to end the listing early if I get an acceptable offer. |

Cadillac Elmiraj sedan RWD flagship finally caught testing
Wed, 22 Jan 2014While we still have no insight as to it being named Elmiraj, STS or some other permutation of the -TS nomenclature ("LTS" has apparently been registered by GM, as well), new spy shots give us proof positive that Cadillac is indeed hard at work on a rear-wheel-drive flagship model. Spied for the very first time in some north country testing, these shots provide a first look at the upcoming range-topper from Cadillac.
Impressively long and large bodywork ride atop new General Motors' corporate Omega rear-drive architecture here. Heavy cladding over camouflage may discourage finding any details, but the overall, sharp-edged and blocky design is clearly reminiscent of what we've seen on the new CTS and the recently debuted ATS coupe. A strong, wheels-at-each-corner stance helps emphasize the length of this stretched Caddy, and everything about the proportions seem spot-on for a new fullsize flagship for the brand.
It's quite possible that Cadillac will ultimately festoon this large sedan with detailing reminiscent of the original Elmiraj coupe, though thus far we've only seen prototypes wearing four-doors.
Cadillac may not build Elmiraj coupe
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Despite the fact that most everyone who has laid eyes on the Cadillac Elmiraj concept coupe loves it, General Motors insiders are still trying to prove the business case to build the car. And it's certainly not a guarantee.
"I want to see this car go into production badly. Very badly," Ed Welburn, GM's Global Head of Design, told Autoblog. But the Cadillac design studio is busier than it's ever been before, and the company is working on prioritizing which cars deserve to get the billion-dollar price tag needed to research and develop a new model.
No matter what happens, Welburn says the car has made its mark on Cadillac
