1984 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible Gorgeous Red Ca Car on 2040-cars
Santa Rosa, California, United States
|
I bought this car as a birthday present for myself for my 40th birthday, and it's been a lot of fun to own and drive. Cadillac made
only 3,300 of these cars in conjunction with ASC, a convertible top
manufacturer, and only a fraction of those cars survive today. The shape of
these cars is gorgeous, they age well, and according to Wikipedia: “the
convertible models are now highly sought after by numerous collectors.” This
model was very expensive when first offered, about triple the cost of a new
Fleetwood! It became an iconic car; I first saw it in the movie Pretty In Pink
and decided I must have one! I bought the car partly because the value
holds over time unlike many other classics. I put the car in storage in
2008 after buying a Rolls Royce. The year before I put it in storage, I
installed a new convertible top (cost $3,000) and painted it. The body is
straight, and most systems work fine. It is a California car with no rust. It has many options like leather interior,
leather wheel, power driver seat, digital displays, CD changer in trunk. The leather is good because I treat it regularly with a leather conditioner, and I replaced the front seat bottom panels with durable exterior vinyl. The
engine is strong: on a compression test done on 8/21/2013 the psi values were
as follows: Cylinder 1: 110 psi. 2: 130. 3: 120. 4: 130. 5: 130. 6: 100. 7:
110. 8: 110. It recently passed California’s rigorous smog test. I have the original tonneau cover (shown in photos) and a custom storage bag. Also a custom car cover for the rare occasions it's out of the garage. The car has some
minor mechanical issues, as follows: The climate control unit is bad (I have a
used replacement, plus a trunk full of miscellaneous parts). The odometer
stopped working in 2007. It shows 92,000 but the true mileage is about 5,000
more. One of the back windows rolls up slowly, and the torque converter rattles
for a few seconds when the car is first started up. I’ve really enjoyed the car
but with 6 other cars to care for I just can’t do justice to this beautiful
machine any more, and I need the garage space. My custom plate does not come with the car.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment
Thu, 20 Mar 2014One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
Cadillac flagship, possible production Elimiraj, caught testing
Fri, 30 Aug 2013One of the biggest debuts at the Monterey car week, both literally and figuratively, was the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept. The massive coupe made quite a splash with the show's well-heeled guests. Now, we have what might be the very first images of the Elmiraj, or whatever it may be called when it reaches production, out testing.
Don't let that modified Chevrolet Caprice body fool you, this car is about four to six inches longer than Chevy's US-spec cop car, from the A-pillar forward. According to our spy, with the Caprice at 203 inches and the concept at 205, adding a few extra inches here and there fits the bill for the four-door Elmiraj that was hinted at in Jay Leno's Garage.
There are a number of other classic mule signs on this car, including a cover over the fuel door and heavily modified front and rear fascias, each of which serves to hide some significant change from the standard Caprice. Using a Caprice for development also, hopefully, hints at something that big Cadillacs like the XTS have lacked - rear-wheel drive.
Hennessy wastes no time in supercharging the 2015 Cadillac Escalade
Wed, 23 Apr 2014The ink is still drying on the all-new 2015 Cadillac Escalade sales brochures, but that hasn't stopped Texas-based Hennessey Performance (HPE) from leaping out of the gate with its own high-performance variant. In stock form, the big fourth-generation Cadillac flagship arrives with a new small block naturally aspirated 6.2-liter Ecotec3 V8 delivering 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Fresh out of the showroom, the 5,900-pound SUV will sprint to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds.
While that is plenty fast for some owners, others don't want to be shamed by a 550 horsepower Mercedes-Benz GL63 AMG or a 510 horsepower Land Rover Range Rover Sport - both will leave the stock Escalade at a stoplight.
The team at HPE has come to the rescue with its HPE550 supercharger upgrade, which includes a belt-driven supercharger, air-to-water intercooler, recalibrated engine management software and a three-year/36,000 mile powertrain warranty. With 6 psi of boost, the direct-injected 6.2-liter is tuned to deliver an impressive 557 horsepower and 542 pound-feet of torque - gains of 32 percent and 18 percent, respectively, over stock. Although HPE isn't releasing performance figures as of yet, our math says that should be enough power to put the two Europeans in the Cadillac's rearview mirror. The company also offers a set of 20-inch lightweight H10 forged monoblock wheels, to further improve performance.
