I saw what I wanted about 5 years ago but did'nt have the money or time at the time..It was sweet, old lady had it only had 80,000 mi for only $4500, and they go as high as 60K today.. I have been kicking myself ever since since I COULD have borrowed from mom and dad.... Anyway, I'm looking for a 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz in the 4-9K price range to restore. Does anyone know where to start?

Heres a pict of one:

Try finding a local caddillac club (or maybe online somewhere). People in car clubs tend to have a network.

Elfinex, the guy on ebay link is mistaken he labels it an eldorado but it's a series 62, big difference.
You said not but I checked anyway cause many people don't know what they have... Caddy had 12 models the 1960 year very confusing.

Supa- Thanks I'l look into it.

Saw one for 4500 frecken perfect about 5 years ago sitting in the grass beside an old ladies driveway:brokenheart:

I knew I should have bought! Don't ever get married any of you.

Anyway hemmings is noted for not being a deal finder:) More like someone who has to have it now:p
