An Extraordinary example of a fine restoration done right. Everything fabricated Correct to factory specifications with not a single dollar spared and extra special attention given to every last detail. You would be hard pressed to find a finer example of a Show quality 62 Eldorado anywhere in the world.
In 1962 if you walked into the Cadillac dealer showroom they had many models to offer. If you wanted the very "top of the line" with all modern technologies and comforts you purchased the "Eldorado Biarritz". The very best Cadillac had the offer, a model that ONLY came in a Convertible. Fully loaded with power options including 6 way power seats, cruise control, windows, locks, convertible top, brakes, antenna, auto dimming headlights, auto trunk lid and much more.
This is a complete and total "frame on" restoration. Everything that can break and needs replacing has been replaced on this vehicle with no expense spared.
A list of items repaired, restored or replaced as follows:
New Convertible (Cr`eme) Top, New Radiator, New Heater Core, Refurbished "Wonderbar" Radio, New T-3 Headlights all around, New control valve, New Convertible hydraulic motor and lines, New Genuine Leather interior, Refurbished door panels and Sun visors, New Eldorado only option Parade Boot, New Carpeting, New front and Rear bumpers (Show Quality Chrome), New Brakes including Master Cylinder and hose lines, all 4 Wheel Cylinders and Break booster, Rebuilt Speedometer, New Fuel sending unit, New voltage regulator, Rebuilt Generator, 5 Brand New 235X75R15 Whitewall Mastercraft tires, Rebuilt windshield wiper motor, New wiper blades, New Front and Rear Springs, New A/C Delco Shocks all around, New factory correct "Tar-Top" A/C Delco Battery, Refurbished clock, New 6 way power electric seat motor, New Rubber seals for trunk, New door and window weather seals all around, Rebuilt Transmission, New front and rear correct 62 Cadillac floor mats and more...
As you can see from the photos this is a Show quality restoration that commands attention wherever it goes. Everything on car works as should. Car starts, drives, stops, shifts all as smoothly as a Cadillac should. There is no visible rust anywhere on this car. All interior and exterior lighting works as well as the turn signaling and horn. Car was painted 5 years ago in basecoat/clearcoat Cadillac color Driftwood Beige and interior is freshly NEW using Genuine Leather interior in a color combination known as Sandalwood. Every chrome and stainless piece has been polished or replaced making this Eldorado gleam in the Florida sun.
There were 160,840 Cadillac's produced in 1962 with only 1450 of them being an Eldorado Biarritz. There are believed to be less than 100 of these left in existence today and most of them are NOT in this restored condition. Most others are originals or now older restorations that need attention. Paint is near perfect, chrome is show and interior is Brand New leather (perfect). Everything is back "Original" to 1962 with no customization. This Eldorado needs nothing now to be considered show quality and is far beyond road worthy.
Anyone interested in this Vehicle needs to understand that with very few things to "Invest" money in nowadays, as long as kept in cool dry storage this Eldorado will skyrocket further in value in soon coming years.
Nada Values a 62 Series which was the entry level Convertible model at $47,300 currently.

This Eldorado Biarritz is a top level model. Years 1955-1961 Eldorado's are all worth near or over $100K this 1962 is next in line to head in that direction. We are honestly very sad to have to sell.
We would like to see this car go to good home who will take care of it and appreciate it as much as we have.

2016 Cadillac ATS-V brandishes 450 horses and 6-speed manual
Tue, 11 Nov 2014Details about the hotly anticipated 2016 Cadillac ATS-V are tumbling out, and they look to be everything we could ask for in a high-performance Caddy coupe.
According to Road & Track, the ATS-V will use a version of the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 from the CTS Vsport, but the wick will be turned up to 450 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. In glorious news for driving enthusiasts everywhere, that potent mill will be available with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic.
According to R&T, the engine has a heap of high-performance tech to let it make the extra ponies, including titanium connecting rods, two water-to-air intercoolers, titanium turbines for the turbos and an additional radiator dedicated to cooling the gearbox and electronically locking differential. Keeping it all planted are a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, and a suspension with 50 percent more roll stiffness.
GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
GM moving international sales HQ to Singapore from Shanghai
Wed, 13 Nov 2013General Motors has announced that it will be moving its international headquarters from Shanghai to Singapore, a move that will see 120 employees working from the city-state by the time business opens in 2014. Meanwhile, 250 to 300 of the employees at the Shanghai office will remain in China, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.
The shuffle is part of a bigger reorganization that will see GM isolate its operations in the People's Republic from its broader international efforts. This sort of divide-and-conquer strategy will allow GM to still react to emerging markets while, according to the WSJ, providing a dedicated management team for the Chinese market. The team in Singapore will be responsible for operations in Africa, southeast Asia, Australia, India, South Korea and the Middle East, on top of managing Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe, according to a statement from GM.
The shift to Singapore "will help us to create a renewed identity for CIO (Consolidated International Operations) and lead GM's umbrella strategy for the region," said GM Executive Vice President of CIO, Stefan Jacoby.
