Vehicle Detail
This is my wife's car. She had always wanted an Allante and loved driving it, but she now prefers to sit up high and drive her Range Rover instead. So, we are selling it.It has 69,000 miles and it runs, stops and drives perfectly.Soft top and hard top included.Everything electrical and mechanical works and it is a powerful performer. Leather seats, excellent heating and air conditioning, solid suspension, cruise, good tires, power windows/door locks, Driver Information Center (showing "no faults/trouble) - it is a lot of car for the money and since only 21,000 were produced during its 5 year production run it is becoming more rare and eventually more valuable.Cadillac mechanicals with Italian (Pininfarina) interior and body. GM actually flew the chassis to Italy in specially modified Boeing 747s where Pininfarina built and attached the body and interior. Then they flew the cars home where GM installed the engines. A good combination of American mechanical expertise and reasonable cost parts availability with Italian design flair.This is a fun car to drive - especially with the top off and it is a great road car for long trips.Interior is in very good condition and appears to be original. Original spare and tools in the trunkI replaced the rear soft/hard top latching mechanism (it pulls the top down like the trunk mechanism does) but it is tricky to align and I have not been successful at getting it to work consistently. A good mechanic or someone more talented than I should be able to get it latching each time.
