  • Frame-off restoration
  • Only 2,150 examples built
  • Sabre-Spoke wheels
  • Optional Autronic-Eye and trunk release
  • Spectacular throughout

Finished in Alpine White with a vibrant two-tone turquoise and white interior, this Eldorado Biarritz has had an outstanding frame-off restoration that is reported to be “spectacular throughout.” The undercarriage is stated to be as clean and detailed as the exterior. Only 2,150 examples of this glamorous car were built - all to the highest of standards for the era. The power comes from a 365-cid, 305-hp V-8 engine with two four-barrel carburetors. This is connected to a Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Among the many standard features that the Biarritz exhibits, you will find Sabre-Spoke wheels (including spare), numerous courtesy lights, remote driver’s side mirror, power windows, power six-way front seat, power steering and power brakes. The convertible top is covered by a three-piece hard parade boot when retracted. The Eldorado Biarritz had few options available – this particular example has an Autronic-Eye headlight dimmer and glovebox-located automatic trunk release. This is stated to be an uncommon option that works flawlessly.
