Car is sold as is where is : Brownsville, Texas Clear clean title in my name. I've had this car for just over three years and have honestly lost the motivation to finish it. Some of the pictures in this ad are from when I first got her, if you want more just drop me a line and let me know what you'd like to see. She's almost done, and done right: In the motor alone I've got over 2k worth of parts: Body: Body is in great shape for being over 60 years old, some of the glass is starting to delaminate, there's three rust holes about the same diameter as a nickel. Only major rust area is passenger floorboard which will need to be replaced. Car has a '54 front grill and bumpers -- could use another paint job or chrome. Roof has been painted white, while rest is in primer aside from a few spots were I tried to pick a color. Has 14" "turbine" wheels with almost new tires (got less than 50 miles on them, but don't know when they were originally purchased -- and one has a slow air leak), but I would definitely get new wheels and tires before taking her down the road. Hood has been shaved, seam welded- not bondo'd. Most of the trim is still there, but battered up, I had intended to shave it so never got any replacements. Will need windshield wipers/motor. Most of the exterior chrome (that hasn't been painted) is pitted and will probably need replaced. Motor: 1976 Cadillac 500ci, I tore this motor apart and replaced almost everything -- except valve covers, oil pan, crankshaft, pistons. If you know anything about motors you know these things are Torque MONSTERS, and hardly weigh more than a small block chevy. I've got a short video of motor running (10sec) that you can see/hear.
