The car was bought by me a month ago. my intention was to export it abroad but the country that the car was supposed to be exported did me troubles.i had big plans for this car as it has great potential but unfortunatley i have to sell the car. That is the reason why i am selling the car only inside US and not abroad. the car will be sold to the higher bidder. here is the original description of the car from the guy i bought the car from:The story behind why I’m selling this car is simple: I left to go to Afghanistan to put in work with the USMC in 2009. At that time the car was in great condition for the most part. Everything on the car worked. I left the car with my uncle. In late 2010, my uncle ran over a speed breaker too fast and broke the oil sending unit off. The oil leaked out of the engine and the engine eventually began to knock. The car has been sitting where you see it in the pics since that time. The engine is a 6.0 Liter (4-6-8 Motor…368cid….see pic) with 146,460 miles. I returned to the USA September 22nd, 2013. Unfortunately I do not have the time or money to restore the car. The price I listed is what the junkyard offered me for the car based on metal weight. I hate to just give the car to the junkyard because of all the new parts I put on the car before I was deployed. I think this car would be a great project car for someone. I have listed below all the things I can remember I had done to the car before I left for Afghanistan. Please email me if you have any questions before bidding and I will be more than happy to let you know everything I can about this car. Surprisingly enough, when I put a battery in the car (….just because I was curious to see if it would turn over) and sprayed some quick-start in it, ….it started up! I’m sure the gas is bad as it has been in the car sitting for four years, but I did get it to start. There is rust on the bottom of the doors and trunk lid and the vinyl top was ruined I guess from the heat and winter cold and sitting under a tree over the last four years. I do know a guy that has all four used replacement doors and trunk lid for that car for $475.00 and the motor for $700.00 I will give this info to whoever gets the car in case you want to get the parts from them. I figure even if someone got the car just to use the new parts that I put on it and the hard to get parts and then brought the car to the junkyard and got the metal weight, it would be a great deal. I just don’t have the money or time to deal with it.Here are the parts that I had installed on the car (…and what I paid for them) before I left in 2009. New rear bumper fillers (the ones that always rot out) (cost me $185.00 from Euro-Imports ….the same place that painted the car) New tires (have less than 50 miles on them)…..but they have dry-rot now. They look good…LOL! …but I would just use them for moving the car around while fixing it, but not for driving on the main road or highway. (cost me $525.00 from Pep-Boys) New rear coil springs from Henessy Cadillac dealership. (cost me $351.00) New Exhaust system from Midas Muffler ($215.00) New Headliner from Gary’s upholstery (cost me $195.00) I saw stains on the headliner. My son says the stains are from moisture getting in the car and evaporating over the years. Tail Light Lenses and reverse lights from a private seller on ebay (cost me $180.00) Matching OEM Cadillac hub caps with lock Rear Bumper ($275.00 from a private seller on ebay) Air Conditioning system converted over to R134a installed by Georgia Air for (cost me $635.00) Driver’s side front window and seat control switch on the door. (cost me $75.00 for the part and installation at Euro Imports) Front and rear brakes from Euro Imports ($355.00)….this was done I think in 2007 or 2008Other details: The spare tire has never been used. (see pic) The jack is complete and in the trunk. I have never used the jack. The car has the original Cadillac rubber trunk floor mat The car has the original gray trunk carpet from the factory The car came with what I believe is a “GM - Body by Fisher” fender-cover. I guess if you are working on the car. I never used it, because I wasn’t sure of what it was really for. (see pics) The dash has a custom matching cover with the Cadillac emblem on it. (see pic) The windshield wasn’t cracked when I left, but it is now. The only part of the seats and door panels that I remember having tears is the driver’s side and the door panel on the passenger’s side (see pics). The car has ALL the chrome trim that came with it from the factory Here are things that I remember working (that usually don’t on most Cadillacs of this year): The Radio worked The power Antennae worked All the fiber-optics worked These are the little lights on the top of the fenders (it has a white light to let you know the headlights are on, a blue to let you know the high beams are on and an orange light to let you know if the signal light is on) and the one inside on the rear center located on the headliner (it has two red lights ….right and left……for signal lights and they get brighter when you step on the brakes. The cruise control worked All windows power locks and power seats worked Power trunk lid pull down works The Sentinel Light System worked The MPG Sentinel worked The Factory Symphonic Sound System worked
