OK, so it isn't a muscle car, but it is from the same era.


Have this priced for a quick sale. Needs a few minor things, but over all is in great shape. Very nice Pearl White Paint (originally light Blue code 24 exterior). It is far from show quality paint, but is very good driver quality.

Has beige interior redone in nice high quality naughahyde. Parts of the door panels were dyed beige (also originally a medium blue).

I am going to try and post my photobucket album with 29 pics.

There is virtually no rust on this car. Has the parade boot. I have only had it a day, so don't know all there is to know. Drove it around for a couple hours today after replacing the trans pan gasket, rear trans seal and modulator valve. Ran perfectly. Power top works.

Issues of which I am aware:

-A/C and heater blower inop
-Fuel guage inop
-dent in left front bumper
-smaller dent in right front of bumper
-cruise control is inop
-front transmission on power seat inop (seat is all the way up)
-I would put tie rods on it if I were to keep it (not dangerous, but still a little play)
-exhaust system looks fairly new but isn't hung properly (no porn jokes, please) and has a couple of wire hangers holding it over to keep it from rubbing the drive shaft.
-some of the seat belts don't buckle, looks like mismatched components

$10,000.00 A rust bucket of the same model in need of a new top just sold on ebay for $4300. This one is virtually rust free. Has very minor surface rust on parts of the frame. It was painted some time before 2006. I have no history on the car before that.

If it doesn't sell in a week, I will tackle all of the mechanical issues listed, and relist at a higher price.

You will be hard pressed to find a better BIG convertible that runs so well for less money, let alone a Caddy.
