Vehicle Detail

1987 Cadillac Allante Convertible with removable hardtop Rust Free 16,700 Original Miles!! This beautiful car was just purchased from an estate auction and has averaged less than 700 miles per year since new. Although the car has only 16,000 actual miles and has always been garaged, it will need some maintenance to get it to new condition. The tires are the original Goodyear Eagle GA 225/60R15's and have at least 80% tread remaining, but being 27 years old, they need to be replaced since there is weather checking on them. I would also recommend that the belts and hoses be replaced as well as the brake lines and pads. Time is not a friend to these items, so for safety sake plan on doing a tune up and having it all checked over before taking it out and driving it on a trip. We have driven it about 50 miles since buying it and have not had an issue, but plan on making it safe when you get it. The paint shines nicely and there is absolutely no rust anywhere. There are 2-3 door dings but not terrible and a paintless dent repair shop will be able to get them out for less than $200. There are no other dents and there has been no other repair work done that I can see anywhere. The hardtop comes off easily, and the black soft top fits fine. There are some wear marks on the soft top where it has rubbed on the convertible framework so if you want it perfect, plan on a new fabric top, but that is up to you. The interior shows no signs of wear on the leather seats which is a miracle for this age of car. The carpet is good with no stains, the door panels are as new and the dash has no cracks. the only area that shows any wear at all is the rear package tray. There is weathering from time, but does not need replaced unless you want to make it perfect. The 4.1 litre V8 engine has plenty of power and there are no knocks or rattles when running. It starts right up and does not smoke when satrting it or when driving. I would tune it up since it has sat for so long. I did have to charge the battery up when I bought it and it has started since, but I would replace the battery to make sure that it is new when you get it. The glass is all good but there is tinting on the windows and there are some air bubbles forming in the tint that should be addressed. There is a gravel chip on the left headlight lens, but the lights still work fine. As you can tell, I am trying to be as specific as I can be so that there are no surprises when you get the car. It is in very good condition, and with some minor safety updates the car will make you a very nice collectible car that you can drive anywhere and be proud of. We are selling the car at NO RESERVE, so there will be a new owner at the end of the auction. We have sold cars before the end of the auction from time to time so if you can't wait til the end, email us and we may make a deal. We are located 60 miles southwest of Omaha Nebraska, or 20 miles south of Lincoln. Feel free to stop and take a look before you bid. I would tell you to fly here and drive it home, but with the age of the car, you will be safer to come pick it up, or have it shipped. We have shipped cars all over the world and get some great shipping rates. Let us know if we can give you a shipping estimate. We require a $500 paypal or credit card deposit within 24 hours of the end of the auction, and payment in full within 3 days by cashiers check or bank wire. The car is a real time piece, but since it is 27 years old, it is being sold as is with no written, or expressed warranty. We have over 8,000 positive feedbacks so you can be certain that we are describing it to our best ability. Good Luck bidding!
