HELLO AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE THE TIME TO VIEW THIS WONDERFUL CADILLAC. WHAT WE HAVE HERE TODAY IS GRANDPA'S 1978 FLEETWOOD BROUGHAM. THIS IS A ONE OWNER VEHICLE THAT HAS SPENT ITS ENTIRE LIFE IN FLORIDA. IT WAS BROUGHT UP HERE LAST YEAR AFTER HE HAD PASTED AWAY AND HAS BEEN IN THE GARAGE SINCE. IT HAS 85,000 ORIGINAL MILES AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED.. THIS CADILLAC IS EQUIPPED WITH THE LEGENDARY 425 V8 ENGINE MATED WITH A COMPLETELY REBUILT TH400 TRANSMISSION (rebuilt at 77,000 miles). I HAVE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL AND DEALER BROCHURE FROM 1978. EVERYTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD. POWER ACCESORIES WORK FINE. THE AIR CONDITIONING BLOWS ICE COLD. THE SEATS WORK PROPERLY. THE ONLY THING I NOTICED IS THE POWER ANTENNA SWITCH IS A LITTLE TOUCHY.. IT WORKS FINE JUST SOMETIMES NEED TO JIGGLE THE SWITCH A BIT TO MAKE THE ANTENNA GO UP. THE LEATHER INTERIOR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH NO RIPS OR TEARS.. THE DOOR PANELS,CARPET, AND HEADLINER ARE IN GOOD SHAPE AS WELL. THE ORIGINAL SPARE, BUMPER JACK, AND WRENCH ARE IN TACH BOLTED DOWN IN THE TRUNK. THIS CAR IS FROM FLORIDA SO THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO RUST WHAT-SO-EVER ON THIS CAR. ALL THE CHROME TRIM AND BUMPERS ARE IN GREAT CONDITION. AS FAR AS THE PAINT ON THE CAR, IT IS OK. HE HAD THE CAR REPAINTED IN THE LATE 1980'S. HE HAD A FEW SCRAPES ON THE SIDE FROM PULLING IT IN THE GARAGE AND THE SUN HAD TAKEN ITS TOLL ON THE PAINT. THE REPAINT THAT WAS DONE ON THE CAR BACK THEN I WOULD RATE FAIR. IT LOOKS GOOD BUT IN MY OPINION I WOULD IT NEEDS DONE OVER TO MAKE IT A SHOWROOM CAR. THERE IS AN AREA ON THE DRIVER REAR DOOR THAT APPEARS TO HAVE HAD SOME TYPE OF FILLER THAT HAD BUBBLED AND CAME OFF IN THE CAR WASH. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THIS CAR IS NOT A RUST BUCKET OR A BONDO BUCKET, ITS JUST WHOEVER DID THE PAINT JOB WAS NOT IN MY STANDARDS (i am a perfectionist). I HAD PLANNED TO RE-PAINT THE CAR BACK TO SHOWROOM CONDITION BUT MY SITUATION HAS CHANGED SO IT MUST SELL. THESE CARS ARE GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND, ESPECIALLY IN THIS RUST FREE CONDITION. THE UNDERSIDE OF THIS CAR IS VERY VERY VERY CLEAN!!! NO RUST ANYWHERE. THE ORIGINAL AIR-LEVEL SHOCKS IN THE BACK EVEN WORK PERFECTLY AND OUR NOT DRY-ROTTED. THE VINYL TOP ON THE CAR IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION WITH NO-CRACKS OR BLEMISHES. ALL THE FILLERS ARE IN-TACH AND NOT CRACKED OR BROKEN. WHEN WE DROVE THIS CAR BACK FROM FLORIDA IT RAN BEAUTIFULLY DOWN THE ROAD. AT NORMAL SPEEDS AND DRIVING CONDITIONS WE WERE GETTING AROUND 24mpg. THERE IS SOME OTHER REPAIRS THAT WERE DONE WITHIN THE PAST FEW YEARS INCLUDING-NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM, NEW INTERSTATE BATTERY, NEW RADIATOR AND COMPLETELY REBUILT TRANSMISSION. I NOTICED HE HAD A NEW SET OF SPARK PLUGS IN THE TRUNK AND I AM ASSUMING HE PLANNED TO TUNE IT UP BEFORE HE PASSED. THEY WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE AUCTION. IT DOESNT APPEAR TO NEED A TUNE-UP BUT IT NEVER HURTS TO FRESHEN UP A 35 YEAR OLD CAR. 2 SETS OF KEY WILL BE INCLUDED AS WELL. THE ORIGINAL CADILLAC KEYS... THERE WILL BE NO DISSAPPOINTMENTS WITH THIS CADILLAC!! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT ME ANYTIME VIA CELL-PHONE 330-285-6285 RICH ****IF YOU HAVE ZERO FEEDBACK, PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING. I HAVE HAD TOO MANY NON-PAYING BIDDERS THAT HAVE COST ME TOO MUCH TIME AND MONEY... SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY!!! THIS IS A 35-YEAR CAR, SO IT IS BEING SOLD AS-IS WITH NO WARRANTY. On Jul-21-11 at 10:08:46 PDT, seller added the following information: UPDATE**** I HAD PREVIOUSLY STATED THAT THERE WAS A NEW RADIATOR RECENTLY BUT AFTER CAREFULLY CHECKING IT, I SEE THAT IN FACT IT LOOKS TO BE ORIGINAL AND IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER...
