** Car is Re-Listed with a Very Low Reserve to ensure someone who bids, wins the car. Good Luck ** 1985 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD BROUGHAM 2 DOOR COUPE BLACK EXTERIOR, BLACK TOP, BLUE VELOUR INTERIOR. 4.1 LITER V8 ENGINE REAR WHEEL DRIVE 78,851 ORIGINAL MILES ON THE CAR. THERE WERE ONLY A LITTLE OVER 8,000 2 DOOR COUPES BUILT BACK IN 1985 AND IT WAS ALSO THE LAST YEAR FOR IT. THE GOOD - THE CAR IS ALL ORIGINAL, THE CAR WAS BOUGHT FROM A LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER (ATHERTON-JEAN) LESS THAN 2 MILES FROM MY HOME BACK IN 1985. IT SPENT THE LAST 25 YEARS DOWN THE BLOCK STILL OWNED BY THE ORIGINAL FAMILY. THE CAR WAS PASSED DOWN TO THE SON WHO REPLACED THE FACTORY STEREO WITH A NEW ALPINE UNIT. LUCKILY HE DID NOT DESTROY THE DASH AND THE ORIGINAL RADIO WORKS AND COMES WITH THE CAR. THE MOTOR WAS REPLACED AT SOME POINT EARLY IN ITS LIFE DIRECT FROM GM. 4.1L V8s HAD THEIR ISSUES, THIS CAR RECEIVED A FACTORY GM GOODWRENCH REPLACEMENT MOTOR. IT STILL HAS THE STICKER PLACED ON THE AIR CLEANER FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL CADILLAC GOLD KEY DELIVERY SYSTEM BOOK WITH THE ORIGINAL SALES REPS CARD, PRESTIGE CARD, SALES RECEIPT, MANUEL, MAINTENANCE BOOK AND GOLD KEYS. EVERYTHING WORKS IN THE CAR, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STILL TURN ON WHEN YOU GRAB THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES. ALL THE EMBLEMS AND CHROME TRIM ARE IN PLACE. THE DRIVE TRAIN RUNS GREAT AND DOESNT LEAK OR BURN ANY OIL. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN GENTLY BY THE SAME OLDER GENTELMEN ALMOST ITS ENTIRE LIFE. THE INTERIOR IS IN GREAT SHAPE. THERE IS NO RIPS OR TEARS IN ANY OF THE SEATS OR CRACKS IN THE DASH OR RELATED PLASTICS. ALL INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS WORK. THE BUMPER FILLERS WERE REPLACED AND ARE NOT CRACKED AND DONT NEED TO BE REPLACED AS IN MOST CARS THIS YEAR. THE ORIGINAL HUB CAPS ARE IN THE TRUNK AND IT GREAT CONDITION, THEY ARE NOT ON THE CAR SO THEY WOULDNT GET DAMAGED. IN THE PICTURES I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF INSTALLING A NEW DOOR LOCK SWITCH, ITS SINCE BEEN COMPLETED. NEW TIRES, AIR CLEANER, EXHAUST JUST COMPLETED. THE AIR SUSPENSION, AIR CONDITIONING, HEAT, POWER STEERING, WINDOWS, LOCKS, ELECTRONIC TRUNK, MAP LIGHTS, FUEL METER ETC... I LOOKED THE CAR OVER PRETTY THOUROULY AND DO NOT SEE ANY RUST OR ROT ANYWHERE. IT IS A GREAT DRIVER AND HAS A MIRROR FINISH. IT IS NOT A SHOW CAR, THIS CAR IS MEANT TO BE ENJOYED. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS CAR FOR A LONG TIME AND TRAVELED ALL OVER TO GET ONE. I HAVE SEEN THESE CARS SELL ANYWHERE FROM $5000 TO $35,000 IN FAR WORSE SHAPE AND IN COMPLETE TRAILER QUEEN SHAPE. THE CAR I FEEL IS PRICED EXTREMELY FAIR IN THE CURRENT SOFT MARKET. THERE ARE A FEW EXTRA PARTS THAT COME WITH THE CAR, THERES A SET OF CHROME HEADLIGHT BEZELS, REAR VIEW MIRRORS, EMBLEMS, CIGERETTE LIGHTERS, MAP LIGHT, DOOR SWITCHES. THE NOT SO GOOD - THE HEADLINER IS SAGGING, IT DOES NOT HANG DOWN AND CAN BE DRIVEN THIS WAY OR REPLACED AT THE NEW OWNERS DISCRETION. THE PASSENGER SEAT REAR GRAB HANDLE IS MISSING THE SCREW BUT ALL PARTS ARE THERE. THE EXHAUST WAS REPLACED BUT ITS SOUNDS LIKE IT NEEDS A GASKET NEAR THE CONNECTION POINT, THE CAR RECEIVED NEW PAINT AND TOP BEFORE I TOOK POSSESSION. THE PAINT CAME OUT PRETTY GOOD BUT IT IS NOT A $10,000 SHOW WINNER PAINT JOB AND ITS NOT EXPECTED TO BE AS SUCH. THE BODY SHOP ALSO REPLACED ALL THE CHROME TRIM AFTER THE PAINT WORK BUT FAILED TO USE THE CORRECT CLIPS AND INSTEAD USED DOUBLE SIDED TAPE IN THE SPOTS WHERE THEY DIDNT REPLACE THE CLIPS. ITS ONLY IN A COUPLE SPOTS, NEW CLIPS WOULD RESOLVE THIS. (WHY THEY DID THIS, I HAVE NO IDEA). THE CHROME BOTTOM DOOR MOULDING IS SCRAPED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE DRIVER DOOR WINDOW TRIM WAS GLUED IN ONE SPOT INSTEAD OF USING THE ORIGINAL CLIPS. THE GLUE DID NOT RUIN THE TRIM OR THE DOOR. THE DRIVER WINDOW WORKS FINE BUT SEEMS LOOSE WHEN ITS ALL THE WAY DOWN. THE DRIVER ARM REST HAS TAPE COVERING A CRACK IN THE VINYL. MOST CADILLACS AROUND THIS YEAR HAVE THESE SAME ISSUES AND DOESNT SEEM THAT IT IS UNHEARD OF FOR THESE TYPICAL MINOR ISSUES. THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY WHITE WITH BLUE TOP. I WILL ADMIT THAT I DIDNT NOTICE AT FIRST UNTIL I WAS TOLD. THE BODY SHOP DID A GOOD JOB PAINTING ALL THE CORRECT PLACES TO ENSURE THE WHITE PAINT ISNT VISABLE ANYMORE. THE DOOR JAMBS, TRUNK AREA, UNDERHOOD AREAS ARE ALL PAINTED TO MATCH. THE REST - I WILL ANSWER AS MANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK. THE CAR CAN BE VIEWED AT ANYTIME LOCALLY AT MY SHOP ON LONG ISLAND. I AM NOT A DEALER, I PURCHASED THE CAR FOR MY PERSONAL COLLECTION AND KILLS ME TO HAVE TO LET IT GO. I EXPLAINED EVERYTHING I COULD TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE AND THERE IS NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. I CAN SHIP AT YOUR EXPENSE TO ANYWHERE YOU WANT IT TO GO. I RATHER NOT SHIP IT OUTSIDE THE US. FOR ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL ME AT LILLYMAGILLY@YAHOO.COM PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME IF YOU WANT TO SEE ANY SPECIFIC PICTURES OF AREAS OR PARTS ON THE CAR. I WILL BE HAPPY TO SEND THEM TO YOU IN DETAIL. ENJOY THE AUCTION
