Vehicle Detail

Unfortunately the time has come. Ive realized once again that Ive still got to thin the herd a bit Now is your chance to own one of the finest Caddy's in the world. If you are truly interested, bid- this may be your only chance to own such a unique and high quality caddy. I got this truck from a friend of mine last year as an uncompleted project and spent thousands of dollars and countless hours to get the truck where it is today. This truck started its life here in GA and was the perfect candidate as it was a clean, rust free example to satrt with. Over a period of about 3 years this truck underwent a nut and bolt "no expense spared" type of restoration. Like I said, the body was straight and rust free from the get go. It was completely stripped, the engine bay was completely smoothed and the arches were widened before painted with a PPG basecoat clearcoat inside and out. Every piece of it has been sanded and polished and is highly detailed. The tailgate was replaced with a NOS unit and also features all new and chromed hardware. All of the hardware holding the truck together is new and atleast 99% of it is chrome plated. Overall the bodywork is second to none and it shows! The suspension consists of weitec coilovers in the front with a custom air shock setup in the rear- with a guage and switch in the dash to control this. The control arms, tie rods, and all associated bushings/ harware is new as you could imagine. For wheels it has BBS RS' that are polished and re-assembled with all gold hardware and stainless steel lips. They are 7.5 in the front and 8.5 in the rear. The tires are Toyo proxes and are as new. The engine is a NEW crate 2.0 ABF european engine running on Jenvey throttle bodies along with DTA stand alone. As you can see in the pics, all of the engine harware is new and chrome plated. To help keep things cool, a setrab oil cooler kit has been installed and is again new and chromed. The NEW transmission was carefully disassembled, powder coated and re-assembled with new chrome hardware. All mounts, bushings etc are new. The steering rack itself is new and chrome plated along with all of the shift linkage etc. The exhaust consists of a techtonics race header and stainless exhaust. To make a long story short, its all new and very highly detailed. The interior features a dash carefully wrapped in perforated suede. It has a working Digiz cluster and a custom fitted Porsche wheel. The seats are power VW based recaros with all new bolsters and customed trimmed in perforated suede and leather. The doorpanels and headliner are new also and custom trimmed to match as you can see in the pics. The carpet is a molded high quality kit and fits as it should. Heres a link to a 10min. video showcasing this truck- you may have to copy and paste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stQWWinRw5I As anyone would imagine, this truck drives better than new. Unfortunately the pictures do not do it justice- If youre interested and able, I would like to pursuade you to come and look at the truck in person- I can assure you that you WILL be impressed. Since completed, this truck has only seen about 700 miles. It would be a true compliment to anyones collection. Earlier this year, I took the truck to Bugapalooza where it won: best of show, best paint, best engine and first in its class!! - This alone should give anyone an idea of how serious this truck is! As always, if you have any questions, please contact me- I would be more than happy to discuss the truck with you. I WILL NOT disclose the reserve price as I feel it takes the "fun" out of the auction. If you have less than +5 feedback, please contact me before bidding or your bid will be cancelled. For payment, I require a $500 deposit via paypal within 24 hrs of auction ending- NO EXCEPTIONS! The remainder is to be paid in full within 7 days and the vehicle is to be picked up within 14 days
