1978 was Cadillac's last year for the large Eldorado. To commemorate this, Cadillac made a very limited production called the Eldorado Custom Biarritz Classic. Cadillac produced a total of 46,816 Eldorado in 1978. This special build of only 2,000 total units was announced to Cadillac dealers in April of 1978 and was produced between May and July of 1978. The "Eldorado Classic" shared all of the special features of the Custom Biarritz, plus the following distinct additions: Unique two tone exterior of Arizona Beige and Demitasse Brown, dark brown Biarritz-style accent striping, light beige interior trim with dark Saddle leather 'pillowed' seat cushion and back rests, Light Beige Elk Grain Cabriolet-style vinyl half roof, Gold-plated Biarritz scripts on the sail panels and deck lid, leather-wrapped steering wheel and color-matched wheel discs. The Classic option was an additional cost of $2,466. All 2,000 of the Eldorado Classics got their special treatment at American Sunroof, located 7 miles from the Cadillac factory in Southgate, Michigan. At American Sunroof, they received the Demitasse Brown paint to the hood and the front half of the roof. They applied roof caps for the padded Cabriolet-style vinyl half top and the interior rear window trim. The trim down-sized the rear window glass, giving it its unique styled appearance. The stainless steel Biarritz trim molding and special gold-plated Biarritz scripts were added as well as the Dark Brown exterior accent striping. 500 of the 2,000 were equipped with a power sunroof option. This is not one of those vehicles. A sticker was also placed on the upper driver's side door jam, showing the vehicles manufacturer date and when American Sunroof had completed their part of the customization. This completed the special treatment added by American Sunroof to the Eldorados and they were returned to the Cadillac factory. This automobile was purchased new at Taylor Cadillac in Van Wert, Ohio. It is 1 of only 1,500 without a sunroof from this very limited afore mentioned run of only 2,000 Custom Biarritz Classics.

It has the following features that you would expect from a high-end Cadillac: 425cid engine, 50/50 seating with fold down arm rests and dual 6-way power, climate control, cruise control, tile and telescoping steering wheel, power windows, power door locks, Sentinel auto dimming headlights, AM/FM stereo with built-in factory CB, power antenna, delay wipers, dual remote rear view mirrors, lighted passenger make-up mirror, remote electronic trunk release, load leveler, and only 4,824 original miles!

This Eldorado would be a great addition to any collection, car show or cruise night. It is an awesome driver. It is ready to take home the trophies at a car show! The exceptional condition of this automobile, combined with its extreme rarity and ultra-low mileage make it very desire able and highly collectible. This is an incredibly well preserved Cadillac. This is truly a time capsule. It has obviously has been maintained since new with only 4,824 miles put on this gem.

Rev Up Motors owns this Eldorado, unlike many of the "Dealers" out there. We invest our own money in quality vehicles. Unlike the BIG consignment "Dealers" out there that take everything and anything just to pay for their overhead and "Sales Staff". They charge the customer a fee to "Market" the vehicle. The consignment "Dealers" do not anything mechanically to the consignors vehicle. All of the vehicles at Rev Up Motors have been inspected for safety and for their mechanical operation. This is all done by a Licensed ASE Certified Master Technician.

The exterior is exceptional condition. The paint is STUNNING as you can see in the pictures and video. It is very smooth and swirl free. This one has survived extremely well as most do not. The paint in original as we have paint metered every panel. The trim, bumpers, glass and vinyl top are all in excellent condition.

The interior is in awesome condition as you can see in the pictures. It is a non smoker vehicle since new.

The engine bay is very stock in appearance and clean! This Cadillac runs and drives out very nice as well. It does have a newer exhaust system from the catalytic converter back. It cold starts nice and idles down properly. It drives out tight and straight down the road. The undercarriage is rock solid with no rust issues on any of the sheetmetal. It was "lightly" undercoated when it was new.

The trunk area features its original spare tire that has never touched the ground and all of its jack tools.

In person Inspections prior to purchasing are ALWAYS welcome and encouraged. If you have any questions or concerns, please call. We can FaceTime too!
