No reserve and no extra fees. I have decided to sell some cars from my personal collection at prices that are impossible to duplicate . In 2007 my Mother purchased the car from a funeral home with only 67k miles from the original owner. The car is a non smoker or pets car. She loved and pampered this car but stopped driving in 2013. She sold me the car and over the winter 2014 I spent over 275 hours and $3800 in parts (wholesale) building a super reliable, dependable one of a kind Fleetwood. The car was not a wreck to start with. I have a Dealership since early 2000's and full shop so I was able to restore it over the winter this year and it was a long adventure. The 260 HP LT-1 Corvette motor with 340 torque is running like a top! New drums, shoes, hoses, hardware, emergency brake cables, brake lines and shocks were installed. I went with air shocks in the rear end with the fill behind the rear license plate. That way the rear height is adjustable if I like it to be. All original air lines and pump are still intact. Then new front rotors, bearings, ceramic pads, brake hoses and brake lines. Then new front shocks, and stabilizer links with polyester bushings. Then I changed the Air conditioning compressor with a factory Delco one, receiver dryer, orifice tube, pressure valve and all seals and had it professionally charged and it's freezing!! Now for the new Opti-spark distributor, spark plug wires and spark plugs are new along with a new water pump, thermostat, tensioner pulley and belt. The power steering pump was redone then I put in both new power steering lines and a new power steering pressure valve. The starter was redone and the car has remote start and keyless entry. The radiator and heater core were flushed and new antifreeze was installed. I found the larger white wall tires that are speed rated 235/75/15 100s tires so they are tough and will last a long time. They set the car off! The factory chrome wheels were prepared for hours to prevent any leaks once the new tires were installed. Cadillac emblems are seen on the valve stems. I changed every brake line in the car to the copper nickel alloy line to ensure they will never have issues. When the lines were made they were ALL put back into the factory mounts on the body as they were from the factory. The exhaust manifold gaskets were changed (no broken bolts on this car) and the original bolts were upgraded to the harder 8.8 hardness so if these ever need to be done again there will be no broken bolts. I changed the mufflers and all of the clamps and mounts on the exhaust. I sent in the front bumper top to have it professionally redone since it is common to fade as it did. I purchased brand new rear quarter panel chrome spears that normally flake and they look great! These are a beautiful car with all of the chrome that you just don't see anymore on modern cars. The chrome is stunning on this car. It was a pampered car all of it's life. My Mother didn't go out in bad weather if possible and kept this in her garage. I have enjoyed driving the car and know you will enjoy it as well. The bottom was coated with bed-liner to protect it since from the factory they are not undercoated. The oil, filter, air filter, gas filter, and gear oil and seals are all new. New wiper blades and I even changed all of the bulbs on the car. The radio works and the power antenna work. The power mirrors, locks, trunk release, trunk pull down, seats, heated seats, lumbar are working. Even the cruise control works. I converted the 2:92 rear end to a RPO GU6 3:42 rear end and springs from a 44k mile Fleetwood (tow package) then changed the seals and fluid .The speedometer is 10 MPH off at 75 since the new gears are a different ratio and that also triggers the traction control light and the check engine light (cam position sensor picks up the gear ratio difference) I put a new cam position sensor in to make sure. The ECM can be re-flashed to accept the new size rear end gears I'm told. I will include the original rear axle gears that are in great shape if you prefer to have the car back to original. The power is great and the fuel mileage is super still and the car is like a rocket. It's the perfect mix of luxury, power, economy, and grace!! The car has never towed but is now ready to. The transmission was serviced and has a new filter , gasket then the pan was freshened up. The transmission shifted like a new car before and after the service. The vinyl top is in new condition. The trim around the bottom of the top is redone and new clips were installed. No leaks in the trunk from this area since I sealed it properly. The paint on the car dazzles! I have 2 door dings. Both are on the rear doors. The car has never been in an accident. The door jams are clean. There use to be 2 rust spots in the center door post down low that have been cleaned, prepared with rust killer coating and painted to seal them for good. There is no bondo or filler anywhere on this car. This Fleetwood has the solar protection windshield that keeps the sun heat out. I have no cracks on my dash. The seats are comfortable. The carpets are pretty clean but not perfect. I am selling some of my personal collection and that is the only reason I would ever consider selling this car. If you paid me $50.00 an hour, the labor for 275 hours is $13,750. Plus $3,800 in parts (receipts in the pictures below) and that's without the purchase price of the Cadillac!! It was done for pride and I realize you will be getting the advantage. I have put 2000 miles on the car since it's restoration and it's GREAT! I always get the nicest comments but best of all it is like new mechanically. No extra fees in my auction so enjoy and I look forward to a fun transaction. Title is clean and in my name. The car was filmed on June 17, 2014 and will be parked until so it's exactly as you see it. U-ship is a great place to get a shipping quote from Victor, NY 14564. International buyers welcome but make sure you check the cost to import to make sure it's worth it for you. Thank you !!!
