“LIL AL” at Indy, an Allante’ Story This 1993 Cadillac Allante’ rolled off the 9,000 mile production line in March of 1992, that production line started in Detroit, Michigan with parts being sent to the world famous design firm of Pinninfarina of Turin, Italy, there to be mated with the Italian designed frame and body only Pinninfarina could do, then loaded on specially designed Boeing 747s, 56 at a time, the Allante’s without an engine or drive train, back to the U.S.A. to have Cadillac add the first production 295 HP Northstar 4.6 V8 and drive train to complete the assembly, (The Allante name could be a take on the Italian word Aliante which in English means Glider as it flew to the U.S.A. without an engine). This Allante is one of just eight Allante’s that had been built with matching options by Cadillac a decal 8 is on front and rear window. The 1993 Allante was chosen to be the Pace car for the 76th Indy 500 race in 1992 with Bobby Unser as spoke’s person for Cadillac and the Pace car driver. Only three 1993 Allante’s were modified (Seat belts, Lighted roll bar, and air intake only) to be Pace cars as the 1993 Allante’s stock Northstar V8 could do 0 to 60 MPH in six seconds. In May 1992 this Allante was sent in a group of thirty 1993 Allante’s to the 76th Indianapolis 500 to be used as a Pace/Festival car for the event. This Allante was the one of the 30 stock 1993 Allante’s (Fifty eight, 1992 Allante’s were also sent) that was stenciled Indy Pace Car, as well as with Al Unser Jr’s name stenciled on the passenger door (It was not needed on the driver door as only the passenger door faced the grand stands) This 1993 Allante was given to Al Unser Jr (LIL AL) to drive at the opening parade and closing ceremonies for the race. Al Unser Jr won that historic race by just .048 seconds between his car and second place winner Scott Goodyear, Al Unser Sr came in third, it was almost an all Unser race with Bobby Unser as Pace car driver, his nephew Al Unser Jr (LIL AL) winning the race and Al Jr’s father, Al Unser Sr (Big Al) coming in third. Two weeks after the 76th Indy 500 this Allante was used by Al Unser Jr again to open the brand new Belle Isle Raceway for the Detroit Grand Prix XI parade. So this Allante was not only on the brickyard track at Indy but also driven around the new Belle Isle track in Detroit which makes it kind of a special 1993 Allante since Cadillac stop producing all Allante’s in July of 1993. This Allante is personally signed on the dash above the glove box by both Al Unser Jr & Bobby Unser and comes with many display items currently has Personalized Texas 10 year plates "LiL Al" it is my hope a buyer from Texas wins this Allante.It says I am the forth owner but I am the third owner as it had to be registered in Florida before I could register this 1993 Allante in Texas there are gaps in ownership when it was museum displayed.I ask for a $1000.00 PayPal down payment and the balance due before pick up, Cash, Money Order, Certified check, Personal Check (must clear bank before pick up) for balance owed, no over balance amount accepted or returned if sent, buyer pays all shipping costs.For more information call Nick at 1-713-802-9393
