I purchased this car about 2 years ago as a restoration project. Now I find myself not having the time for it and I promised the person I bought it from I wouldn't part it out. So up for sale it goes. This car sat in a barn from '83 until '08. The odometer says 29,216 miles, it could be 129,216. This car hasn't seen the road in almost 30 years, and would need to be towed from it's location. Two-tone, light gray on bottom and darker slate gray top. Two-tone interior blue-ish gray with white. New parts: Front brake shoes Front brake hardware Right front drum Front brake hoses Front wheel bearings cleaned and repacked Front wheel cylinders rebuilt Rebuild kits for rear wheel cylinders Fel-Pro complete engine gasket set (UN-OPENED) Rear wheel bearing seals Front stabilizer link kits A/C Delco t-stat New spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor, condenser, points, and wires New Battery Rebuilt carburetor Misc. Car has Coupe De Ville lighted lower seat trim for both front seats Has power windows, brakes, steering, and seats (6-way) Has A/C but is not working and compressor is off car, but is with it. Has tinted glass, but passenger door glass is cracked from lower rear corner to the upper front corner – diagonally Does not have Autronic eye Engine had not run from 1983. It did not run when I bought it in Nov of 2008. It does run now and runs good with no knocks or ticks that I can hear. The valve train is very clean. AM radio lights up when head lights are turned on, however no speakers are hooked up so I can’t verify that it really does work. Clock works at times and does light up with the headlights All power windows work. Manual vent windows are stuck. Dome lights work and turn on when both doors are opened. Only missing exterior trim that I know of is the emblems for the hood and trunk. The bezels are there but the decorative Cadillac emblems are missing. All interior trim is there to the best of my knowledge except, both door sill plates, dome lamp lens and the glove “box” Carpet and jute were removed around '83 when it went into barn storage so not to attract mice or retain moisture. Couple of dents of good size, but doesn’t appear to have ever been in an accident. Car was undercoated and is currently peeling in places such as the front wheel houses, fuel tank and various spots underneath the car. Exhaust system looks good with no visible rot or leaks that I can see or hear. Carburetor will probably need fine-tuning. 365 cubic inch engine. 300 horsepower 10:1 comp. ratio
