I HAVE NO INFORMATION REGARDING THE FIRST HALF OF THIS CARS LIFE, BUT I DO KNOW THAT PRIOR TO MY ACQUIRING THIS CAR IT HAD SAT IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED STORAGE FACILITY FOR APPROXIMATELY 18 YEARS. THE PERSON I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM HAD DONE QUITE A BIT OF WORK TO THE CAR BUT UNFORTUNATELY, VERY LITTLE OF WHAT HAD BEEN DONE HAD BEEN DONE RIGHT, SO LET ME BEGIN THERE. THE CAR HAD A HORRIBLE BACKFIRE AND IDLED LIKE A DIESEL TRUCK WHEN I BOUGHT HER. I FOUND THAT THE WRONG PLUGS HAD BEEN USED AND BRAIDED IGNITION WIRES, THE CARB HAD BEEN SWITCHED OUT AND WHOMEVER BUILT IT HAD DONE A REALLY POOR JOB, THE EXHAUST WAS ALL WRONG AS WELL. I FOUND A MATCHING NUMBERS CARB COMPLETE WITH AN NOS ORIGINAL DASH POT AND MACHINED AND REBUILT IT. I TUNED THE ENGINE WITH DELCO PLUGS AND SOLID CORE IGNITION WIRES, NEW COIL, CAP, ROTOR, POINTS AND CONDENSER, AIR AND FUEL FILTER. I INSTALLED A NEW EXHAUST, MANDREL BENT TO FIT AS ORIGINAL AND SELECTED A MAGNAFLOW MUFFLER SO YOU CAN HEAR A LITTLE RUMBLE FROM THOSE 500 CU INCHES. THE A/C DIDN'T WORK AND THE CLIMATE CONTROL NEEDED SOME TLC. I CONVERTED THE SYSTEM TO 134 AND INSTALLED A NEW OE COMPRESSOR, REWORKED THE CONTROL HEAD AND POWER SERVO, INSTALLED A NEW HEATER CONTROL VALVE; THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM WORKS LIKE NEW NOW. I RECORED THE ORIGINAL RADIATOR AND INSTALLED A NEW THERMOSTAT, BELTS AND HOSES. NEW BATTERY, NEW ALTERNATOR AND REGULATOR AS WELL. THE BRAKES ARE ALL NEW, I MEAN EVERY COMPONENT OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS NEW. NEW TIRES, AMERICAN CLASSICS, THESE ARE REAL WHITE WALL TIRES DIRECT FROM COKER TIRE. THE FRONT END WAS SOLID ON THE CAR EXCEPT FOR THE TIE ROD ENDS SO THEY WERE REPLACED AND THE FRONT END ALIGNED. THIS CAR RUNS STRAIGHT WITH OUT HOLDING THE WHEEL AND THE WHEEL STAYS AT 6 O'CLOCK. THE TRANSMISSION SIDE COVER HAD A SMALL LEAK SO I PULLED THE TRANNY OUT AND WENT THROUGH IT, WHILE THE TRANNY WAS OUT OF THE CAR THE ENGINE GOT NEW FREEZE PLUGS, THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS SERVICED AND NEW CV AXLES WERE INSTALLED. I HAD THE TORQUE CONVERTER CUSTOM BUILT WITH TORRINGTON BEARINGS. THERE ARE NO MORE LEAKS ANYWHERE ON THIS CAR. THE SUSPENSION IS ALL BRAND NEW AND THIS CAR FLOATS JUST LIKE A BOAT. NOW LETS TALK INTERIOR; THERE IS NOT A CRACK OR SCRATCH INSIDE THIS CAR AND EVERY GUAGE AND SWITCH WORKS. I REPLACED THE RADIO SPEAKERS, FRONT AND REAR AND ADDED XM, THE CONTROL HEAD IS UNDER THE DASH AND CAN BE EASILY REMOVED. I REPLACED THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER BLOWER BECAUSE IT HAD GONE BAD. ALL THE SEATS HAVE BEEN REBUILT WITH NEW FOAM AND THE DRIVER SEAT REUPHOLSTERED WITH A NOS SEAT COVER, ALL THE LEATHER IS VERY SUPPLE. CUSTOM MADE AND COLOR MATCHED CARPETED FLOOR MATS WITH CADILLAC LOGOS PROTECT THE ORIGINAL CARPETS. I DO HAVE THE ORIGINAL FLOOR MATS AS WELL AS THE ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL, AN ORIGINAL SHOP MANUAL AND ALL RECEIPTS AND DOCUMENTATION FOR THIS CAR. THE ORIGINAL SOUND DEADENER IN THE TRUNK HAS BEEN REPLACED AS WELL AS THE WEATHERSTRIP SEAL AROUND THE TRUNK, THE TRUNK PANELS AND CARPET ARE ALL ORIGINAL. THE EXTERIOR PAINT HAS BEEN REDONE ON THE REAR QUARTERS AND LOWER DOORS BECAUSE THE PAINT JUST DIDNT LOOK THAT GOOD ANYMORE. I HAVE TRIED TO LEAVE THE ORIGINAL PAINT ALONE, BUT THAT IS MY PREFERENCE. I REPLACED THE ROCKER COVERS AS WELL. THE CAR ALSO HAS A STATE-OF-THE-ART ALARM SYSTEM WITH LONG RANGE PAGING CAPABILITIES. THIS IS A SUPER STRAIGHT AUTOMOBILE, A REAL CLASSIC AND A CAR THAT CAN BE DRIVEN EVERY DAY. I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF DRIVING THIS CAR ACROSS THIS COUNTRY TWICE AND NEVER ONCE HAD A PROBLEM. THIS CAR LOOKS AND DRIVES LIKE A NEW CAR, COME SEE FOR YOURSELF. PLEASE CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS. 813-340-2222 MIKE
