1985 Cadillac Eldorado BEAUTIFUL UNRESTORED CLASSIC CADILLAC ELDORADO AZ

This 1985 Cadillac Eldorado is an original, unrestored survivor in amazing condition. It has traveled only 34,566 miles since being bought new by Leonard Patterson from John Bays Cadillac on June 12, 1985. Leonard bought the Eldorado when he retired as a gift to himself for years of hard work. He only drove the car occasionally and never in inclement weather. He always diligently maintained it and considered it his baby. When Leonard passed away, his son Gary inherited the Cadillac. Gary kept the car for sentimental reasons and drove it infrequently and just enough to keep it "fresh". I purchased the Eldorado last year with the intent of keeping it forever. Unfortunately my circumstances have changed and I need to sell the car.I always liked these cars because they have a classy iconic look and this one especially so finished in Commodore Blue and accented with the white Cabriolet top and pin stripes. This is one of the colors used in the Commemorative Editions.This Eldorado is equipped with most options: Leather; Dual Power Seats with Power Recliner; Tilt/Tele Wheel; Twilight Sentinel and Auto Dimmer; Symphony Sound Radio; Power Mirrors; Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror, Opera Lamps, Etc. All options work except for the power antenna (which was unplugged in the up position) and the cruise control. The amber light comes on with the cruise switch but the green engagement light doesn't come on when the set button is pushed in. Usually this is caused by dirty contacts from non-use. Other than that everything works. The AC blows cold (it was converted to 134) and the power windows and locks and other accessories all work as they should.The Cadillac drives tight and tracks straight. It also has a new feel to it. The doors and hood shut easily and all the switches and knobs feel crisp all of which attest to it's gentle past.The car is original with the exception of the rear bumper fillers which were replaced because of cracking. The front fillers are still original and in good shape. The rest of the car is the way she came except for normal maintenance items. The exhaust was replaced from the catalytic converter back due to condensation. The tires are older Michelin X radials which have no dry rot and are still in great shape.As nice as this Eldorado is it still has some flaws. The paint is original and being lacquer there is checking on the top surfaces. It is not the large "crowfeet" checks but the smaller finer ones that create a fuzzy reflection. I have been told that it can be buffed and made to look better but I live in a small town and I didn't want someone inexperienced with a buffer making it look worse. Also, as you would expect from 33 year old car, there are some minor chips, dings and scratches but the car presents itself very well and I get compliments on it whenever i take it out. The interior is beautiful as is the chrome and brightwork. It is a car that you can be proud of.1985 was the last year for the "classic style" Eldorados. They had some refinements and mechanical improvements for this year as well. Nice examples are becoming harder and harder to find and they are becoming more collectible and appreciating in value. This is an extremely nice, original, low mile, rust free example that would make a nice addition to any collection while still being something you can take out and enjoy. This Cadillac has always been cared for and I hope that the new owner will continue that tradition.The Eldorado is located in Payson, Arizona 85541, which is about 75 miles northeast of metro Phoenix. I do not have the car advertised locally but I reserve the right to do so, and end the auction early, if bidding is sluggish. I would also like to mention that although I have done my best to accurately describe the Cadillac, it is, of course, sold as is without a warranty.Please feel free to call me at: 928-468-7060 or email me with any questions you may have.Thanks for looking!
