Hahaha! I had an ‘84 Eldo with the 4100. Beautiful car, but I knew even back in ‘94 , that they were a ticking time bomb. Ran beautiful while I owned it. I sold it to a neighbor, and a week later she came knocking on the door saying the engine went and she wanted her money back! I honestly had no issues or knew of any with this particular car. I felt bad for her, so I gave her $800 back towards a rebuild. Not sure if she did or not….
@@erikturner8687 That happened to my friend. He bought a 1979 10th Anniversary 400/4 speed Trans Am that didn't turn out to be what he expected (even after I warned him after talking to the Ebay seller on his behalf). Long story short, he sold it to a Secret Service agent who drove it back to GA where he lived from MA where my friend was. The engine blew up on the way home.

Brings back memories this is the only Cadillac my dad had a couple of these back in the 90s great cars when taking care of🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪👍💯 he never had a convertible tho
Just sad to see an 85 Eldo like this one going for parts. That one should still be on the road. Its salvagable like it is especially as rare as it is. A convertible! No rust or rot! What a darn shame Benny.
Well that's a surprise. When my dad passed in 98 he left me his 85 Eldy Biarritz rag top. I didn't know only 2200 were built. It's not going anywhere. It's in my small collection until I leave it for my daughters. *THEY CAN SELL IT!*
You had to get a 1979-1980 Riviera or Toronado to get that engine, the 350 CID V8, VIN code "R", Oldsmobile produced. The Cadillac engines used during those years in the Eldorado were Oldsmobile derived, Cadillac marketed (referring to the 350 CID V8s).
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. Benny , I work on these , many guys at Caddie were so , so with top up. Top down was cool to drive ! Sad to see it in the yard, also it was not cheap to purchase. Thanks for video, keep cool 🥤🥤
It does on the hard top Eldorados . That is a beautiful car, I sure hope like some others that someone would save it. My wife loves that body style of Caddys. Thank for the video and your time Benny.
That car is almost mint. I say "almost" because of that deck lid, the grill damadge, and the missing tail light, all if which can be fixed or replaced. I wonder if the damadge was done at the junkyard🤔 Convertable...hmmm...I actually own a convertable (not a cadillac) and driving it on scorching heat☀️🥵 can be a challenge.
