Vehicle Description
When you know Caddys, you know to look for Biarritz, so to find a
survivor-grade 1983 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz is an appealing
collector coupe. When this low mileage and loaded car is also one
of the most affordable classics on our site, it becomes an
irresistible buy.
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. This one is a true survivor, right
down to the factory Hatteras Blue Metallic paint. While the paint
is not perfect after nearly 35 years, it still as the right
metallic pop when the sunlight hits it. Plus, the blue vinyl
coordinates so well with the paint that this Biarritz full
appearance is downright European. Then again, this Caddy also takes
full advantage of classic American style. 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. This one also still has all
its great original Cadillac styling cues, from the clear lenses in
front, to the wire wheels with Caddy's crest logo.
The interior demonstrates what personal luxury is all about. The
plush blue 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, provisions for air conditioning, 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. 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 was cutting edge for its time. It utilized
lightweight aluminum construction and fuel injection to give it the
kind of brisk acceleration that keeps this coupe worthy of its
Eldorado heritage. And on a survivor that's so factory-correct thus
far, you'll be happy to see the numbers-matching V8 under the hood
that keeps its originality right down to the factory decals. Plus,
with signs of good maintenance and averaging less than 1,750 miles
annually, this Caddy has been kept in good running condition. The
three-speed automatic transmission is great for smoothness and
reliability. 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, so this cushy coupe also has some sharp moves on the
road.
These Eldorados are becoming sought-after as they cross the
threshold into true classic car territory. So to find a
survivor-grade coupe with big V8 power, a stellar interior, and
ultimate Biarritz packaging makes it the top affordable collector's
Caddy. Call today!!
