This 1962 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz is said to be one of 1,450 examples built for the model year and is powered by a rebuilt 390ci V8 linked with a four-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. It was refurbished in 1980 and acquired by the seller in 2001. Finished in metallic blue over blue leather upholstery, the car is equipped with a power-operated white soft top, rear fender skirts, cornering lights, 15″ wheels with turbine hubcaps, power steering, power-assisted brakes, air conditioning, power windows, power wing vents, and power-adjustable front seat. This Eldorado Biarritz is now offered with manufacturer’s literature, awards, and a clean California title in the seller’s name. The car was delivered from the factory finished in Neptune Blue (94) and was repainted in the early 1980s under prior ownership. Exterior details include quad headlights, dual side mirrors, and tail fins with integrated aftermarket LED taillights as well as rear fender skirts, chrome bumpers, and cornering lights. The power antenna has been relocated to the right-rear upper fender. The replacement power-operated white soft top was fitted with a Hydro-Electric convertible top pump in 2022. Blemishes in the paint are depicted in the image gallery below. The 15″ steel wheels were powder-coated in gray and feature turbine hubcaps with body-color accents and Cadillac crests. They were mounted with 235/75 narrow-whitewall Hankook tires in May 2022. Power steering, independent front suspension, and power-assisted drum brakes were standard equipment. The steering box was replaced in 2011. Blue leather upholstery covering the bench seating was dyed in the factory hue in 2003 and is complemented by a color-coordinated tonneau cover, door panels, and carpeting. Appointments include a power-adjustable front seat, air conditioning, power windows, a remote-adjustable driver-side mirror, and lap belts. The hidden FM/Bluetooth stereo is connected to front and rear “dual cone” speakers and works intermittently. The analog clock and various courtesy lights do not function, and the left-rear window will not operate via the driver-door switch. The air conditioning compressor was rebuilt in 2011 and was converted to utilize R134a refrigerant. The seller recommends that the system be serviced. The two-spoke steering wheel fronts a horizontal 120-mph speedometer and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The five-digit odometer is stopped at 49,937 miles and does not work. Approximately 20k miles were added under current ownership, and total mileage is unknown. An Eldorado trumpet horn was sourced and installed in 2011. The 390ci V8 was factory equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and was rated at 325 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. The engine was overhauled in 2011, which involved repainting the engine bay and rebuilding various components such as the starter, radiator, water pump, and oil pump. A Gener-Nator alternator, an electronic distributor, and an electric fuel pump have been fitted, and the ignition coil, spark plugs, and spark plug wires were changed in 2022. A replacement upper radiator hose was installed and the oil was changed in 2023. Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. A leak in a transmission line connection is noted, and close-up photos of the undercarriage are provided in the image gallery. Decoding the body plate reveals the following information: 12D – Built the fourth week of December Style: 62-6367 – 1962 Eldorado Biarritz Body: FW 763 – Fleetwood body number Trim: 13 – Blue leather upholstery Paint: 94-03 – Neptune Blue paint with blue side molding Top: 2 – Black convertible top ACC: Accessories E – Soft Ray Glass K – Air Conditioner The current California title carries an “Exceeds Mechanical Limits” mileage notation.
