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.

Next-gen Cadillac Escalade debuting October 7 in NYC
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Cadillac will unveil the next Escalade in October, at an event in New York City. It will be the sole member of GM's large SUV family to not get a debut at the Texas State Fair, which we don't think is all that surprising, considering the kind of clientele attracted by the big Caddy.
The new truck, from the few teaser images and spy shots we've seen, has evolved with the rest of the Cadillac range. We've got a glimpse of its tall, thin headlights, which look like an evolution of what's on the current truck. Expect some kind of egg-crate grille, reminiscent of the new CTS and ATS, while Cadillac's CUE system should feature heavily in what we hope is a thoroughly revised cabin.
The event takes place on October 7, so check back then for more info on the all-new Escalade.
J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience
Thu, 29 Nov 2012JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
GM recalls Chevy Impala, Cadillac XTS for braking problem
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Back in April, General Motors launched an investigation into braking issues affecting the 2014 Chevy Impala. Now there's a recall of both the Impala and the Cadillac XTS with which it shares its Epsilon II platform.
The issue apparently revolves around the electronic parking brake, which may not properly disengage. As a result, the rear brake pads could rub the rotor even while the vehicle is in motion, causing "significant heat, smoke and sparks." The earlier investigation had been launched following a complaint regarding the forward collision avoidance system, which is now either appears to have been unrelated or possibly a symptom of this larger issue.
The recall affects 2013-15 XTS models manufactured between February 14, 2012, and August 22, 2014, as well as 2014-15 Impalas manufactured between January 15, 2013, and August 22, 2014. The total number of affected vehicles reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration comes to precisely 132,921 units, while The Detroit News reports a higher total of 205,000 units - the difference potentially coming down to the scope within the US and more broadly across North America. Dealers will contact owners to update the software in order to fix the problem.
