- If you know me even the tiniest bit then you know how much love I have for these Eldorados! I’ve been wanting to do a buyers guide for a while on one. I love sharing my knowledge of these beautiful automobiles. In my eyes one of the most beautiful ever built. I point out what to look for and details that are sometimes missed. I love and cherish original and preserved examples. To me these are pieces of art. As the old saying goes. They are only original once. If you would like any help or information on one of these don’t hesitate to call. I love hearing about them and helping people along the way.
George is the man! I learned almost everything I know from him about these cars. My car would never be this far along today without him. Thank you sir for being an honest seller.
Thank you so much sir! Glad to help!!
George ,thank you for your thorough explanation of the car, You are a true aficionado of these cars and I look forward to meeting you in-person some day , But please share the wealth and send some of these beauties to us cadillac staved folks in souther NY .
I just found your video through searching information about the 1979-1985 Cadillac Eldorados. Sir may i say it was a total pleasure listening to you speak about all the details. I thought i knew alot about these cars but you taught me so much about so many different details that i had to watch the video a second time. You are a true expert on these cars and i love that you try to appreciate the originally of them. There is nothing more satisfying to me than someone who takes pride in keep a car original as the day it left the factory. Amazing video.
Great video George. Your a life safer. A few tears ago no one could figure out why my 85 surged at stop lights and a call to you solved my problem. Thanks again. One day I look forward to meeting your person and one day getting up to your shop to enjoy a walk through.
Thank you so much
I always liked the looks of the E
I have a white one with a blue top and blue carpet and dash. White seats . I fuckin love this car!!!
Beautiful car sir
Here's to having them factory showroom fresh. This is a real beauty! Thanks for all the great facts and figures, learned a lot. I love the 84 and 85 Seville too - had 2 of them.
Thank you so much. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I will probably do a buyers guide on the Seville come spring
DAMN! This was a good history lesson/video. Might be the best I ever seen here. Keep it up George! History details make the story
Thank you. More videos like this coming
I always liked the look of those cars,and agree that older cars,and trucks for that matter should be left as they left the dealership.That being said these cars were not the most dependable car,as that was the period of time,when the Cadillac Motor Division
Great overview--- I've owned two of these and one coupe --- all three with the 4100 HT engine. One of mine developed the "death rattle," and my friend and I replaced the original with an Olds small block 260, carburetor engine... Amazingly, the 4100 distributor not only mechanically fit, the engine's timing responded to the ecm prompts, and everything worked well. Of course, there was no auto idle . The touring suspension is far superior to the standard that I owned on the coupe, and that's a huge plus. I owned the 83 coupe for 25 years--- drove it 317,000 miles and always drove it carefully. THanks for the video
Very interesting story. I cannot believe everything would work with the distributor. Good to know for the future. 317,000 miles wow very impressive. Thank you for watching my videos.
Love the Cadillac especially the early years like this Eldorado. They always catch my eye even though I daily drive a Lincoln town car as my daily 2010 L body former private LIMO.
Enjoyed this video and learned so much about these convertibles not many around..your knowledge is great on these Cadillacs!! 😎👍
Thank you so much for the nice comments. I’m always glad to pass my knowledge onto others
I just love this Convertible and hopefully one day I can run across one forsale for a reasonable price. I own a 85 eldorado with 76k for the last 8 years. When I purchased it ..it had 30,426 miles. After a couple of years of sitting in the driveway I had to drive it...I also love the Triple yellow 💛 eldorado you own as well. I wish I could be you for one day. I would put 5 miles on each eldorado 🤣 nice video bud👍🏾
Thank you for the kind words
@@georgeelitemotorcars5287 awesome looking for one any help?
Loved the video!
Thank you so much
I have always loved those Cadillacs my parents bought me one for my 16th birthday
No way! You had a convertible?
@@georgeelitemotorcars5287 yes I really did have a brand new 1985 eldorado convertible when I turned 16 in 1985 it was black with red interior with the gold package on it
I didn't want to come across as being harsh about the Seville. It does have potential to be restored. Very good history on the Eldorado. I myself have a hard top '84 Biarritz. Same interior and luxury red carpet. You won't find that anymore. Almost like mouton carpet. Supposedly after a certain serial number on '85 GM made some changes to the HT4100 but no one can confirm that. Definitely they went to cast aluminum valve covers in '85. Prior yrs the stamped covers leaked. Some time in the period before '85 I believe GM also used stamped chrome covers for a while. I use Rotella oil in mine. The same as I use in my GMC Duramax diesel truck. I add some Archoil additive also. Yeah been there and broke a thermostat housing. Oh fudge pronounced differently.
Thank you
Great video George as I am about ready to bid on 2 Eldo’s like yours in about 2 weeks ,a white comemoritive one and a blue one!
Convertibles or coupes?
George they were convertible’s I bought the white 84’ commemorative edition with the 24k gold package on it . Send me your email and I can send you pictures
I have and 81 eldorado biarritz with the big 6.0 engine. The cylinder converter still works on it too. MINT
Very cool
Love the video George!
I bought an Eldorado Biarritz convertible in August. It’s white with carmine red interior.
The rear right window does not go down. When I hit the switch, the motor makes noise. Also, it looks like the power antennas was taken out and an aftermarket filler piece was put on top. Can I put one back in? Any ideas. I see them for sale.
It has a service now light on and occasionally loses power on highway - basically it’s running too rich. Any ideas? The engine off highway is quiet and smooth - no skips. I did a tune up myself - sparks, spark wires, egr valve, PCV valve, air filter, distributor cap and rotor. And some other things. When I bought it I tested to see if the coolant was leaking into the engine with a pressure test and it is not. There is also no gunk. So I am confident that the can shaft is fine and the engine is fine. Just having a hard time troubleshooting.
Thank you, Elijah
Thank you so much
Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge. The young guys need to be passed down this info. I doubt it, but do you still have this car? I would be interested in buying it.
Thank you and sorry but she’s not for sale
Great video. I didn't catch , what kind of oil to use,. In Sweden I only find castrol 20w50 2T or 4T, so which one do you suggest
Regards from Sweden
I’ve never heard of that but I think either would be okay. Thank you for the nice compliment
@@georgeelitemotorcars5287 one more question, do you think 20w50 is proper for Sweden, I'm thinking due to weather....its not so warm in here George 😃😃
What about the H and E convertibles?
Very soon
Looking for an 85 black with oxblood red interior help please?!?!?!?
Don’t have any at the moment sorry
@@georgeelitemotorcars5287 thanks for speaking with me yesterday stay in touch
Hi. is this one for sale????
Sorry it is not
@@georgeelitemotorcars5287 Hi Georgy, do you have any advice for locating a very nice 1985 Eldorado Biaritz convertible?
Great video George. I just happened to pull my 1985 out of moth balls today! See you when I get out of Facebook jail!

LOL I gave up on FB jail time and just finally deleted my account. I logged on one day and I couldn't post any comments. No reason why in my notifications. It was wasting my time being on there anyhow. Plus I was getting tired of seeing dog pictures and ads. What is this website Facedog?
