RARE Custom 2001 Cadillac Eldorado CONVERTIBLE w/ 34k Miles FOR SALE by Specialty Motor Cars

[@kevinallen8162]

That Eldorado is a dream car. Sadly, Cadillac just doesn’t offer any new cars that I would dream of owning. I keep holding on to my 1984 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible as I have never seen anything that I like better - it has been with me since 1992 and will likely be with me as long as I am able to drive. I am it’s second owner, and I fell in love with it when it was featured on the floor of the St. Louis New Car Dealers’ Automobile Show in 1984 - beautiful dark blue with white leather and top.

[@alexsanchez8743]

Do you have videos of your personal Lincolns n Caddys

[@bruschmidt9943]

Nice car, though I wonder about those side boots for the convertible top. I was waiting for the moment, but seems you forgot to put them on? My impression is, are they cumbersome to deal with? To me, it looks like two open void spaces without them & they should be installed.

[@grege6287]

A few features of the Eldorado not mentioned in the video: The radio has a built-in 'reverb' feature as well as NOAA weather band (good to have in a convertible). The speedometer recalibrates to metric without having to use two sets of numbers on the dial. Look for 29MPG at 70MPH on the highway. The back seat is very comfortable for a six footer in the steel roof version. Nice tour of the car. Thanks for all of the details!

[@gmailgmail0128]

I believe it. I would get 26mpg in my bigger 4 door STS

[@leeroyalty...9340]

You buy cars I have a 2004 Lincoln for sale super clean 125,000 miles it just had it's first cup of coffee with the miles lol

[@captainamerica9353]

Funny, I have a 2004 Seville with 86,000 miles and only get 12mpg in town and 21 on the HWY. Great car, otherwise.

[@charlesmcginness7214]

I like this roofline better. Reminds me of the ‘79 - ‘85. My favorite years for the Eldorado.

[@jeffshadow2407]

I bought a 2002 Eldorado ETC with 65,000 miles from Copart in Oregon. $225! Your convertible has latches that are similar to the 1990 to 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme convertibles built by Cars and Concepts in Georgia.

[@bernardblackjr.6247]

I had a '94. I love the interior and the body lines on this car. The Northstar had great power until it started failing. But, I love it.

[@jeffreyfelder7981]

I've owned a ton of Northstar engine Cadillacs, you hit the nail on the head.... get rid of the Dex Cool..... I have a trick to fixing that head gasket issue, I used to buy them a lot... but that is a really nice car.

[@joemannix174]

What is the trick? I've had head gasket issues in the past. And don't want to spend another three grand on another engine

[@captainamerica9353]

Odd, I've owned a 2006 STS V8 since 2019, came with Dex Cool, I flushed and refilled with (orange) Dex-Cool, no issues at all. Overall the Northstar is not supposed to be any good, car runs perfect.

[@oldiesgeek454]

​@@joemannix174I had a 1997 Eldo. Around 2015, the head gasket went to pot and made it undriveable. All 3 mechanics I had check it out, wanted about 3 grand to fix it. I decided it wasn't worth it for a car that old.

My only complaint with my 2000 Deville Northstar engine, is how expensive it was to have the sensors fixed. And everything was so hard to actually get to... mechanically it was a great engine. This is a stunning car.

I worked at a caddy dealer back then and I remember we had a couple...our owner drove one for awhile and very cool at the time...still cool. Coachbuilders did a good job...talked to them a few times...I worked in the parts department and you wouldn't believe how many vogue tires we warrantied! Look good on some cars but junk sidewalls. This car's a steal for 18grand. Gm had a lousy chroming process back then for the wheels. My 03 lesabre had the same peeling and pitting issues so I bought new ones and just taking care of them....just gotta wash them often and keep them waxed. First thing I did to my lesabre was get the dexcool out of there...complete flush and green coolant added.

Hey guys, as always a treat to see your thumbnail pop up! May sound crazy but I think a gold trim package on that convertible would really set it off! Call spoke wheels etc.

Hi Anthony, another beautiful Cadillac and video! I love it. Love your channel. We are so much alike in terms of our tastes, OCD about details, and family values. Someday I am going to buy a Caddy from you....just waiting for the right one. BTW, a big happy father's day to you and Papa Bear. I really love and respect how you treat your dad. It's obvious that you love and cherish him. I would have loved to buy my dad a Cadillac as he always wanted one since I could remember but just couldn't get himself to splurge on himself. He was the hardest working man I've ever known. By the time I was doing very well financially and could have easily bought him one, he had passed and it breaks my heart as I think he would have cried. Love you guys and take care!!

[@joemannix174]

Hi Anthony, I would like your thoughts... I've owned two Cadillac DeVilles, The first 1996 with a Northstar engine, Had to be replaced in 2008 Leaving me with $3000 Repair bill! I liked the overall car, and the body was starting to show it's age so I got another one identical to the first one that I owned... I didn't plan it that way it just happened... But now, After owning the car since 2011.... It is my daily driver and it runs on the hot side. I'm shopping around for a different car, because the thought of spending another $3,000 to replace another Northstar engine is not an option. The car in your video is very nice, but the thought of owning another Cadillac with a Northstar will never happen again. What are your thoughts on these ticking time bombs?

[@buzuxi]

They didn't perfect the Northstar till the 2005 MY. They learned from the metallurgy of the LS engines primarily the aluminum heads require longer coarser bolt threads. The 2005-2010 Northstar engines should be good.

[@majorhoonage9161]

Anthony, this is beautiful. Great find!!

I kind of get the gas cap release button the remote key fob. You stop to get gas, get out and forgot you didn't press the dash release. Just press it on the remote. Not a terrible idea.

[@Thomas63r2]

Another Gozzo legendary car - Anthony sets the gold standard for reconditioning. Few dealers will invest in making a used car a true turnkey ready for driving enjoyment car like Anthony, sounds like he spent $4,000 to $5,000 getting it to his standard - and he still resells it for a reasonable price! If anything, I think Anthony could become even pickier and people would still gladly pay knowing that there was nothing else needed. I do have one minor suggestion: there is no need to pass your personal opinion about soft boot vs. hard boot aesthetics, the customer's eyes can decide for themselves what they think of the style. The quibble about the latch handles needing to be retracted is also a quibble that would be better presented as an emphasis on proper top operation. Specialty Motor Cars is in the premier league of vendors for modern classic cars. Bravo for another beauty!

[@pbegich4235]

Hi Anthony....I own a 99' ETC and am totally in love with the car, but I don't understand why most (all?) reviews don't get into the internal design benefits that Cadillac builds into them. Perhaps its because many reviewers do not have access to the original owner's manual (I had to secure mine from E-Bay). Some examples of these included features are as follows: Feature______________ Description____________________________ Power seat controls 8-way power front seat cushions and seat backs adjust to fit two different drivers. Power lumbar control Adjusts the lumbar part of both front seat-backs and turns their lumbar massage feature on and off. Seat/mirrors memory Seat and mirror positions can be programmed for two different drivers via their keyless entry fobs; Correct seat/mirror adjustments are set for each driver when the fobs are used to unlock the vehicle. Memory for two different drivers also includes preferred radio settings and climate control settings. Power trunk latch Set the trunk lid down gently and the power latch quietly screws the trunk down tight (No more trunk slamming required). Heated seats Each front seat cushion has adjustable heating. Valet lock-out system Pushing the button in the glove box disables the power trunk latch, power fuel door and any garage openers. The car keys will lock the glove box. Driver information Communicates with the driver via a message display System line in the dash to alert the driver to any vehicle conditions and problems that may arise. A real Geezer-mobile...even tells you when road ice is possible. Rain Sense Once engaged, the windshield wipers will automatically increase or decrease their speed or pause based on how much water is on the windshield. Cruise control Allows the driver to set car speed and no longer need to use the gas pedal on long trips. Lighting Control Handles all switching on and off of lighting and (Twilight Sentinel) is programmable. Turns appropriate lights on and off at dawn and dusk based on ambient light. Cornering lamps These lamps automatically go on when a turn is signaled. The lamps are located on either front side of the car and illuminate forward, low and to the side to illuminate the area of the turn being made. Self-dimming Instrument lamps are automatically dimmed as it Instrument lamps becomes dark outside and the headlights go on, and automatically brightened as the sun comes up. Storage Mode This feature is programmable from the Driver Info (hibernation) System for long-term non-usage of the vehicle. It prevents long-term battery drainage from radio, amplifiers, instrument cluster and remote keyless entry systems. Electrochromic rear- Automatically dims at night to reduce glare from view Mirror with vehicles behind you. Includes an 8-point compass compass that automatically re-calibrates as you drive. Remote control side Side mirrors are power-adjustable from the driver mirrors (heated) seat, are heated for defrosting and are automatically set for each driver when the key fob is used. Driver side mirror automatically dims glare from behind. Curb view assist When shifting to reverse, the passenger-side mirror mirror automatically tilts down to see the curb to the rear for parallel parking. (programmable) Rear console storage Between the rear seats is a passenger storage compartment compartment with a dual cupholder that folds out for use. Passenger side vanity Fold down the passenger-side visor to use the mirror adjustable brightness vanity mirror. Climate control Automatically controls inside temperature for system driver's side and passenger's side separately. Set the desired temperature and forget it. Rear window De-frosts and de-fogs the rear window. de-fogger Rear seat adjustable Allows rear-seat passengers to adjust their fan vent direction and speed and vent directions in the rear area. fan speed control Steering wheel Allows the driver to control climate control fan controls speed and temperature, as well as CD track and player volume without taking eyes off the road. Cassett tape, single Sound system is a Bose Premium, eight-speaker CD player and sound system. Includes Digital Signal Processing am/fm radio (DSP) which will maximize sound from Talk, Live or Auditorium broadcasts or to focus sound on the driver's seat. Players and radio will not play in another vehicle if stolen. Power radio antenna Automatically deploys when the sound system is turned on. Is otherwise totally hidden. Anti-Lock braking Automatically prevents brakes from locking up (ABS) and causing a skid during panic stops. Traction control Automatically limits wheel spin by sensing that system one or more wheels are losing traction and using brakes and throttle to restore traction. Stabili-trak Senses when traction is poor during regular (non- braking) conditions and works to stabilize traction. Underhood lamp Lights up under the hood when the running light switch is turned on, for engine work at night. Hydraulic Suspension is hydraulically controlled (no shocks). Suspension System automatically senses road surface and hardens or softens suspension accordingly. Also self-balances when trailer tongue weight is added. Engine Engine is an eight-cylinder, overhead cam, Northstar engine with four valves per cylinder. It produces 300 horsepower, gets 25 miles per gallon of gas on the highway (using cruise control), and 19 mpg in town consistently. Design Feature Dash and doors are tastefully enhanced with genuine zebrano wood. P.S.: Like your videos...can't say the same for the after-market soft-top on this example...it ruins the original roof line and looks like an after-thought.
