Say what you will about them (pimpish, gaudy, whatever) I never get tired of seeing that CE grille. This is the very BEST era of Eldorado Biarritz, and that grille complements it beautifully… Oh, and that chime! You can tell the little hammer is getting kind of tired of hitting that bell 😅

Excellent review, pretty car. I must say, like the body style, but I prefer the Riviera. I like the grill better and it had a stronger Oldsmobile V-8.

Absolutely the most thorough and honest presentation of a 40 year old automobile. Very well done!

I worked on these Eldo Convertibles when they were new as a Cadillac Master Craftsman... They had their flaws but were great drivers and incredibly comfortable.... Great color on this drop top too ! Good Luck Anthony !

This downsize was a really nice compromise. If they'd kept the Olds 350 in it, perfect.

My first car was a 1980 triple brown non convertible. It was a beast in the snow and never got stuck til I was on a snow bank in a shopping center parking lot. Lol wish I had another one.

Anthony never disappoints. I will be a customer one day. I love his Town Cars. This is a beautiful Cadillac. I have a 85 Coup that is frame off restored.

So stylish. Can’t believe. It’s. 40 years old. Nice colour. Thanks

Anthony, gloves my friend. 23 degrees ain't no joke! About the Eldorado, my late mother had a 84 Biarritz coupe in Hatteras blue, but with a fully blue interior 💙. Excellent review and very thorough.

Hi Anthony your honesty and professionalism. Is always on point merry Xmas to you and your family.thanks for all your help

what a beautiful piece of artwork of a machinery

This car deserved the engine CLEANED. Surprised you left it as nice as it looks inside. And GM didnt say no more convertibles Cadillac said that in 1976.

Gorgeous Biarritz. I actually know a guy who had the "Hook and Tow" 41-- but did okay with it and had zero issues. You just have to maintain it. !!!

Really enjoy your videos I love all these older Cadillacs and Lincoln's and watching your videos for a long time and I really enjoy it.

Absolutely love the color combination! I have a soft spot for these Eldorado Biarritz and Sevilles, that share the nose and platform. Good deal on a ready to cruise Biarritz convertible!

That's a dream car for me I'd never sell it, one day I hope to own a Biarritz Convertible!❤

Get a '79 or '80 if you can find any left. First 2 years had a 350 Olds engine, cast iron block. '81-'85 have an HT 4100 aluminum block, undersized horsepower for a heavy car. "HT" stands for "hook & tow".

You out did yourself with this probably one of the best cars you have had on your videos hands down!!

I own a 1983 Cadillac Eldorado with the HT system. Which stands for high-technology. As Anthony said the car is over 40 years old. I never had a problem with the engine. I also own a 2002 Cadillac Eldorado ETC commemorative edition. I have number five. It has the north star system never had a problem with the engine. I have owned over six Cadillacs. With the North Star system. On 3 of them I put over 270,000 Mi on them. With no problem whatsoever. I am very upset they stop making the Eldorado it is such a beautiful car.

Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤

A nice car at a fair price.

Nice car Anthony 💯 👍👊

very nice.

She is beautiful if, i had the money. I'd by one and replace the 4100 with a northstar v8. Expensive but worth it. Still a beautiful ride and worth the money just to cruse and enjoy the looks.

I don't know any credible 4100 haters, anyone I've ever heard badmouth 4100's, I'd never seen or known to own or drive a Cadillac. Out of the 10 or 12 I've owned, I've only once came across one with bad lifters, and nothing a once a month can of lifter-medic couldn't handle.

The grille ruins the car. Wonder if the original grill is behind it? Otherwise a beautiful car.

First thing I removed on my '84 Seville. OMG what were they thinking including the hole they drilled in the hood too. I used the hood chrome trim from a '82 or '81 to cover the hole with. Lucky it was able to do that. I suspect this Eldo has a hole in the hood also. I suppose the same hood trim for the Sevile could be used to cover it if someone wanted to remove that faux RR grille.

I actually took the cap off to replace the chrome trim gasket and it only has the original hood ornament hole under there.

Parts are hard to find except fillers. One reason I sold my 85 Riv after 19 yrs.

Happy Holidays!!

Hi Anthony

It's still a gorgeous car. It's my dream car to have in really good condition and low mileage but it has to be a hard top with the stainless roof. I'm not a fan of convertibles.

Is it still 4 sale?

What do you use to clean town car interior carpets?

Wouldn't it be a better world if your local franchise dealership took that time and honestly as Anthony does to present a car.

Beautiful car maybe it’s just me but I see lots of potential in this baby is it still available or can you maybe give me a call once another one is in stock I see that you do plenty of classic Cadillacs

The blisters on the paint area also caused by improper paint solvent being trapped between layers. Chances are that these blisters did not exist until the surface was aggressively detailed with a buffer. The heat generated by buffing activates the trapped solvent and causes it to expand thereby creating the blisters.

Only the commemorative convertible came in Commodore blue. The standard blue for the 85 convertible was Cotillion blue

Is it for sale ? Thanks Todd

Nice car what color is it

Hi. trying to find the web site. I have seen, including this car, a few I might want to buy. HOW DO I GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU GUYS??!!

Those engines allowed you to get better gas mileage than most foreign car's.

At least at this age and mileage, there’s a good chance the 4100 has already been replaced long ago lol

Is it still available

Do you ship cars?

I had a 1984 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham and it had a 4100 motor and was locked up. With this 1984 Eldorado Biarritz convertible, could the motor be changed to a 5.0??

This must have been a custom order because the Eldorado convertible was only available in Autumn Maple Firemist or Cotillion White. (At least that's what the original 1984 brochures said).

Have you ever come across authentic new or NOS urethane bumper fillers for anything ? I haven't. The only thing I've ever come up with is fiberglass, and hit and miss on fit quality, and terrible fit on most.. The fatal flaw is that urethane seems to have a 20 year shelf life, regardless of the environment / climate.

Who passed away? At least they drove it and didn't leave it sit to look at. Not a bad asking price too.

For a certain demographic of your viewers, that car is and will only ever be 20 years old. 40 is just not possible. 😮

Nice car! GM missed the mark here by putting the 4100 i it. I get that they wanted it to be fuel injected and have it's own special engine unlike other GM divisions but had this had the Olds 307 4V it would have been a much better and reliable car.
