The Royal Cadillac Will sell or ship anywhere worldwide.Because of the age of this vehicle, and antique status, it is exempt from all restrictions. All paperwork and title transfer documents provided, as well as help with shipping arrangements. Yes -- you can title the car in your state. All documentation provided!!! Not just another old Cadillac for sale..... This was the official Canadian state-car built by General Motors for Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip. The pinnacle of Cadillac for 1978. Fleetwood Brougham D'Elegance. Rare, and custom. Built to extraordinary standards! It is purportedly 1 of 1 built with the colour combination of sable black, with with dark brown vinyl roof, and dark mulberry interior. It is also the only one of it's kind. Because of it's purpose, this car was epically maintained and subject to truly remarkable standards. This car was also used by other visiting dignitaries, and people of historic significance; including Mother Theresa. Obviously a car of significance, it was subject to the highest care regiment. Condition:Recently gone through end to end with an accompanying invoice of $4800 for basic fluid changes, belts, hoses, and tuning. Retired from service and safely stored away but... This should be testament to the level of care this remarkable auto still receives. Even the power window motors were serviced to maintain correct speed. The paint is original, and has some chips, light marks and fine blemishes throughout. To maintain the historic significance of this car, I would not suggest a repaint but, rather an intense rejuvenation. The car has been warehoused in extended storage. Perspectives vary so I will err on the side of caution, and rate this car as a 1 on a scale of 10. Untypically, I would rather not maximize sale price in exchange for clarity in description. There are about 50 layers of wax in the crevices; evidence of pampering. Mechanically speaking, it is evidenced that servicing on wearable items did not wait until necessary; rather... items were replaced in anticipation. Guaranteed you will be able to find a nice older Cadillac nearly any day you want to look, probably for the rest of your life. Seems there's always some available from savvy dealers, slathered in silicone based shiners, with plenty of black spray paint recently shot in the wheelwells and select areas in the engine compartment, then professionally photographed. Probably goes without saying... This is certainly not one of them. There is no deception, or artificial shine applied. The low mileage is real, and documented. This car is an honest historic piece, in it's natural state. This is a car to keep and enjoy, knowing you own something special and historic. The car is an epic conversation piece and comes with framed vintage photographs for provenance, or to hang in your garage (with duplicates for your files). It is 100% complete, minus the front fender flags. Add your own if you wish, and share some stories while you take your wife for a leisurely drive in the same seat the Queen sat in. This is a 7-day auction. Place a bid, or make an offer. This car is available to any discerning buyer interested, and will be sold by high bid on the 7th day, or by negotiated offer beforehand. Please note: I ask that only established persons bid. If you have more than 2 negative feedback, or are a new member, you will have to contact me first; otherwise I will cancel your bid. If you see my feedback, I have had my 100% perfect rating tarnished only by a brand new member with zero feedback that never followed through with any of his committed obligations. He never sent deposit and none of his buyer's information, then gave me a bad feedback when I reported him. Unfair!!! Incidentally, the vehicle was relisted, and the new buyer gave me an outstanding feedback. You may find it useful information that.... Probably 75% of my recent auctions have ended early through acceptance of an offer. (Once a negotiated price is agreed upon, you become high-bidder, and I immediately select the option of ending the auction early by selling item to high bidder). I will only sell within the confines of Ebay. Please note: If you think you saw this car listed before, you are right. This automobile was previously listed, and sold to a fine gentleman in the United Kingdom. Several months ago, he purchased another vehicle from me and, was an absolute pleasure to deal with the 1st time. When he expressed interest in this car, I accepted an offer from him (which was far less than the potential value), and closed the auction early. His plans were to come to vacation in America this summer with his ladyfriend, and tour the California coastline in this car. Since then, his plans have since changed, and I am helping him out. Thank you all and good luck!
