Vehicle Description
This 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz is a terrific mix of classic
features, nicely restored pieces, and well-integrated upgrades. So
look over this whole coupe, because it's exactly what you want in
classic cruising luxury.
The design lines of this generation Eldorado are ones of a legend.
It's a true statement of personal luxury with the extra long hood
that begins a crease line that runs uninterrupted through the doors
and flows into the sporty rear kick-up. The Sable Black has been
given a quality respray to keep this coupe looking timelessly
elegant. It even has a half-vinyl roof to give it a terrific
double-black presentation. But it's more than just that paint that
really gives you the classic Caddy feeling. Bright chrome bumpers,
a complete and intricate grille, color-matched turbine-style wheel
covers, and classic whitewalls are all part of a correct and
stylish package. Plus, we know you love the little touches, like
the upgraded HID headlights and how the red accenting is a preview
of the interior.
It looks like there has been a solid investment inside to keep the
factory-correct dark red leather interior looking its best and
feeling quite supple. There's plenty of space for family and
friends to spread out, but with an individual armrest and power
front seats, driver really gets to dial-in an individual level of
comfort. This has the kind of luxury that made these Cadillacs so
special when new, and it keeps them exceptionally desirable today.
So you get power windows, power locks, cruise control, tilt
steering wheel, and auto-dim headlights. There are even the cool
period-correct pieces on display like the Cadillac-branded CB
radio. But when they invested in the interior, they also gave it a
very handy upgrade. There's now a custom-made enclosure under the
dash that houses a Pioneer AM/FM/CD/XM head unit that controls
modern features such as Bluetooth and the backup camera.
Under the hood is a year-correct 425 cubic-inch V8, and the honest
presentation of the whole engine bay makes us believe the motor is
original to the car. Topped with a four-barrel carburetor, these
were true torque kings of the '70s. That gave them the ability to
get up from the stoplight with gusto and keep the easy cruising
nature you know in a Cadillac. This driving attitude is heightened
by a smooth-shifting three-speed automatic transmission, and a ride
that can only come from a classic Caddy. Add in power steering and
disc brakes at all four corners, and this is a classic that's
capable of taking on the modern world.
Great colors, classic style, and the best upgrades - don't let this
special Caddy slip away, call today!
