Vehicle Detail

1990 Cadillac Allante. This is a great car, lots of fun. Champagne Frost Metallic with a tan leather interior. 150k miles on her and everything works! Dash is bright, radio plays....everything.This is a rare girl. Designed by Pinin Farina and built on the worlds longest production line (started in Turin Italy and finished in Detroit Michigan), she is a cousin to the Ferraris of the same time frame. With 23k cars built over a 7 year period, the Allante Owners Club estimates fewer than 12k left on the road. She is a 2nd gen car with the exception of the top which still has manual pull downs (yep, using up parts) which means she is a rare "transition" car. This is a blessing in disguise as the electric ones stink. This beast just had 1300 bucks worth of air conditioning work done at Car Tech here in Indy. They are known as the Cadillac Specialists and really looked this girl over. New hoses, new air and top cables repaired and adjusted. She has new wheels and tires from Discount Tire 2 months ago, plus the factory units. This beast also has the color matched aluminum hardtop with stand.She has a couple of door dings and a few scratches, plus shows evidence of a bit of paintwork here and there, but her Carfax is clean (no accidents) and shows all local service (Lockhart Cadillac, Tutweiller Cadillac, O'Brien Group). The previous owner had a new transmission put in at 142k (Aamco...all papers). I also just replaced the battery. All receipts come with the car. The interior needs a couple of bolsters replaced, as well as the arm rest recovered and the shift knob refinished. This was quoted at about 600 bucks at a local custom upholstery shop here in Indy. Also, the soft top was not folded properly and has the dreaded holes from the frame arms. A new top would be in order to be pristine, but she doesn't leak badly. It's good enough to drive with it down and toss it up when a storm pops in. This car runs and drives great. The 4.5 Caddy pulls like a mule and it handles like a slot car. The Italian heritage shows through, but the Cadillac drivetrain is a winner all the way.This is a good solid car that looks like a million bucks, but is cheap enough to be driven every day and enjoyed. Hey, it's a car....it's supposed to be driven. But it is an aluminum bodied sports car and that means rare. CarFax lists a suggested price add of $1600 because of complete maintenance history. Look up the NADA and bid accordingly. This is not one of the Allantes' that is questionable or needs a load of work...this one runs and drives great. Enjoy this one while you take care of the minor cosmetic details...I have already paid the price of the "club" for you, as I put 1900 bucks in her the first day I owned her...Fly in and drive her home. She is ready for you... As I have this beast for sale locally, I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time.
