One of the coolest cars I've ever known! This sleek, sexy cruiser left the dealership March 12th, 1966 with power windows, power bench seat, climate control, auto-dimming headlights, and other amazing Cadillac luxury. Not sure how well the climate control works, and the auto-dimmer has been bypassed, but virtually all the other electronics on this 50 year old classic still work! Last summer it got a gloss black plasti-dip paint job and airbags on all four corners with new shocks, new ball joints, new belts, and new alternator. Almost everything else is original!! The gloss black paint is pretty sweet, but it unfortunately shows scuffs and scratches pretty easily and the paint underneath (car before paint job pictured) wasn't without it's dings and scratches to begin with. There's certainly the occasional dent or ding, but as you can see, the overall car is still pretty darn straight and looks great from a short distance. There's some rust in the usual places like around the fenders, and there are a few spots in the trunk that are rusted through, but the interior floor boards (pictured) and other structural parts are solid. The chrome is in really great condition and the hub-caps are also very nice. Interior is pretty amazing looking with imperfections here and there. It doesn't have a headliner, and the chrome trim is all there and in good shape, just off right now waiting on a new headliner. Known issues: 1) It needs a new battery. There's a battery drain somewhere and I just haven't gotten around to tracking it down, so I just disconnect the battery when not driving, but I think it has taken its toll on this battery. 2) The connections around the tank for the airbags leak and I think they just need to have new Teflon tape put around them to seal. Again, I just haven't gotten around to taking care of these. Because of this, the car will be back on the ground after parking for a bit, and the compressors turn on more regularly while driving and make the belts squeal. 3) It likely needs a carburetor rebuild (or new one). I have to put some gas into the carburetor to get it started for the first time, but after that it usually starts right up the rest of the day. So, I have been able to get it running for the very rare occasions I've taken it out, and it actually runs quite well, but it'll need a little TLC for someone who wants to enjoy it more often. Hopefully I've described it accurately enough. The car just oozes class, it's so much fun to drive, and has a great history with original owners manual, Protect-O-Plate, and brochure. Always gets looks and compliments, and is truly a testament to the quality and innovation found in old Cadillacs. It's time for someone else to enjoy this beauty as much or more than I have, and I'm offering it at NO RESERVE!! That's right, highest bid takes it, so serious bidders only!!
