I had originally bought the car to be used as a weekend driver, and to take it to e few local car shows.  I just have too many other projects going on right now, and do not have the time to work on it anymore.  The car to the best of my knowledge is all original from the ground up, other then any repairs I have made.  This is the Biaritz Eldorado, so it was the top of the line Eldorado at the time.

Condition of interior:  All of the power lock, windows, and seats work.  The radio and power antenna work good, as well as all the speakers.  I put a new head liner in, but would need to be finished.  The rear side panels over the back seat were damage and could not be save.  I found two replacements, but are white, and would have to be died red to match.  The leather seats are in great shape, and show no real signs of wear. Everything else in the interior is in great shape with little to no signs of wear.

Condition of exterior: I was told the car was stored all winter long, and was inside when not being driven.  So there is just some minor rust in a couple areas, but you need to be up close to find.  All the chrome is in great shape, with little to no pitting.  The stainless roof is in great shape, and the vinyl part of the roof is in great shape as well.  The automatic trunk latch works well also.

Drivability:  Just before I put the car into storage, the computer would only allow it to run in limp mode.  According to the Cadillac manual I have for the car the computer is not communicating with the distributor.  So it may either be the ignition module, or a signal failure on the signal wire.  I have just not had the time to make the repair.  Before this failure the car ran like a top, and went down the road just as well.  I went through and replace every gasket I could on the motor, and put a new timing set in as well.  I had the gas tank cleaned and lined, with a new fuel pump installed.  I also started to put in a gauge cluster, to show temp, voltage, and oil pressure.  As the car only came with indicator lights in the dash.

Things you would have to do:  The gauge cluster has to finish being installed.  .The bottom of the dash is removed, so I could access the computer to troubleshoot the ignition issue.  Other then that you shouldn't have to do anything else with the car. 

List of things to go with the car, Cadillac factory repair manual and electrical diagram, 2nd Engine computer.  I also have a radiator core support, head light and grill assembly with the grill and headlights to go with the car.

2020 Cadillac XT5 spied undisguised with infotainment from CT5

Thu, May 16 2019

The reveal of the 2020 Cadillac XT5 crossover must be seriously near, because one of our spy photographers caught the new one completely undisguised. Seriously, there aren't any vinyl coverings anywhere, and the interior was completely bare, too. The update is minimal for the most part, but the interior reveals a big infotainment change. Before we get inside, we'll do a quick overview of the exterior. The front grille has a new mesh insert, and the lower air dam has a wider, thinner metallic accent. At the back, the colors for the faux skid plate or diffuser motif have been swapped. And that's it for the exterior. See? Told you it would be quick. The interior is nearly unchanged, too, except for the aforementioned infotainment system. Instead of the current model's touchscreen-only interface, the new XT5 adopts the control knob featured in the XT4, XT6 and CT5. It fits quite naturally behind the electronic shift lever. If it's like the system in other Cadillacs, fans of the touchscreen shouldn't worry, because you'll still be able to use the touch functions if you wish. Odds are we're months away from the new XT5 hitting dealers, since this is clearly a finished prototype. It will most certainly offer the same 3.6-liter, 310-horsepower V6 and 8-speed automatic of the current model. It's possible Cadillac will introduce a slightly more affordable 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 as an option, possibly even a turbo inline-4 hybrid powertrain, since both powertrains are available on the current Chinese-market XT5.

2023 Detroit Auto Show Mega Photo Gallery: All the new reveals and first looks

Wed, Sep 13 2023

The 2023 Detroit Auto Show didn’t play host to a lot of reveals, but on top of the new cars that were revealed there, automakers brought a whole bunch of cars we havenÂ’t seen in person yet. In a show of home strength, all the big reveals came from the hometown Big Three, with Ford, GM and Stellantis playing host to the most important unveilings. We took Huntington Place by storm to capture all of the new cars and sights to see in Detroit, and you can see everything we did in the series of galleries below. Interesting special editions like the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum Black Edition and the 2024 Chevrolet Camaro CollectorÂ’s Edition found some floor space alongside bigger debuts like the refreshed gasoline-powered F-150 and 2024 Jeep Gladiator with its new interior. If you wanted to see it all yourself, make sure you check out our guide on how to attend the public show days.

2014 Cadillac XTS Vsport

Mon, 30 Sep 2013

Not long after bombing around the Milford Road Course in the new CTS Vsport, Cadillac invited me to try out its other new-for-2014 Vsport model: the XTS. And despite using the same twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 from the CTS, the Vsport package takes on a whole new meaning here in Cadillac's softer flagship.
In the CTS, this trim perfectly bridges the gap between the standard models and the hardcore CTS-V, and is focused on being the best-driving version of the range without a standalone V badge. The XTS, however, has no proper V model, so the Vsport becomes the new range-topper for that line by default. But unlike the CTS Vsport, which uses rear-wheel-drive architecture and is focused on driving dynamics above all, the XTS is geared toward a much different customer.
The entire XTS experience is far more concerned with plush comfort than handling prowess, and while this Vsport model certainly ups the ante with more power and some mild suspension and steering tweaks, it's not exactly what we'd call a particularly engaging experience. But that doesn't mean it isn't good.
