 OK now for the car description...

 

It is recently out of 30+ year storage from ORIGINAL OWNER and ready for a new owner to bring her back to glory.

 

Car is equipped with power everything along with air conditioning.

  

I will be happy to answer any questions. Just email them. I also encourage the prospective buyers to view the car first if possible? Or have someone look at it for you.

 

 

ONLY 52,000 ORIGINAL Miles since New

I also have the ORIGINAL Dealer Invoice for car.

 

 

 Interior:

 

-Seats are 100% original factory white leather. They are  in decent shape with your normal leather cracks for their age but no tears or holes.

 

- Dashboard is great. Looks like new.

- Drivers side door panel needs replaced or fixed. The armrest is cracked.

- Power Windows ALL work good.

-All lights interior and exterior work

-A/c needs charged/serviced from sitting

 

Exterior:

 

-The paint on the car is the factory special order firemist blue.  Current condition of paint is fair(needs repainted).  The car is overall  solid with minimal rust issues to address.  Floors seems to be in good shape along with trunk floor.

 

 The trunk lid is rusted on rear lip but for additional $200, I know someone local here who has a rust free southern trunk lid. I could get it for buyer if interested??

 

-         Front and rear bumpers are in average condition. No rust but chrome is a bit hazy.

-         Door handle chrome is driver quality

-         All Stainless trim on car is in great shape

   

Engine:

 

  This car has not been driven since 1978.  A wire from the ignition switch on dash to starter went bad and that is why original owner parked the car in 1978 never to drive it again. The car was started 3 years ago from a gas can and hot wiring.

 

 Prior to starting it 3 years ago, the following was replaced

 

-new spark plugs

-new cap & rotor points

-new wires

-New Oil & Filter change

-Oil was sprayed in each cylinder and engine was first hand cracked to properly lube it up prior to cranking it since it sat so long.

The car started right up but was not driven. There is no exhaust hooked up at this time and I am sure brakes need overhauled as well

 

NOTE: The car has ALWAYS been stored in doors from 1978 to present.

It is a restoration project and will need to be trailered home.

 

Note: Any trim missing in photos on the car is located in the trunk (see trunk photo)

I also do have all 4 hub caps and they are included with the sale.

 

 

TOP:

Vinyl is in good condition but needs cleaned

 

 

I have tried to be very detailed and describe all I know about car. It is a project vehicle. Email questions. Thanks!

Check my feedback...      I have sold a few cars in the past and everyone is always very satisfied as I do my best to accurately describe the car in detail.  

 

Thanks again and GOOD LUCK

 Please Keep in  mind…

GM recalls 3.8 million vehicles in North America due to braking issue

Wed, Sep 11 2019

WASHINGTON — General Motors Co said Wednesday it was recalling 3.46 million U.S. pickup trucks and SUVs to address a vacuum pump issue that could make braking more difficult and that has been linked to 113 accidents and 13 injuries. The recall covers 2014-2018 model year vehicles, including some Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Sierra, Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon vehicles. In late June, GM recalled 310,000 vehicles in Canada for the same issue. GM did not immediately explain why the Canadian recall occurred more than two months before it called back the vehicles in the United States. The recall was triggered because the amount of vacuum created by the vacuum pump may decrease over time, GM told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in documents posted on Wednesday. The NHTSA opened a preliminary investigation into the issue last November, and said it had reports of nine related crashes and two injuries. It provided GM in July with additional field reports that prompted the automaker to open an investigation. GM said it could affect braking in "rare circumstances." The NHTSA said in a statement the "vehicles may experience brake boost failure, which would require increased brake pedal effort, leading to a hard brake pedal feel, and potentially increased stopping distance." GM said dealers will reprogram the electronic brake control module to improve how the system utilizes the hydraulic brake boost assist function when vacuum assist is depleted. GM said the vacuum assist pump, which is lubricated with engine oil that flows into the pump through a filter screen, can in some cases lose effectiveness over time, as debris such as oil sludge can accumulate on the filter screen. GM told NHTSA that prior model years used a different brake assist system design, and vehicles manufactured after 2018 were not equipped with the affected pump design. Separately, GM said on Wednesday it is recalling 270,000 additional U.S. vehicles in three smaller recalls, including 177,000 2018 Chevrolet Malibu cars with 1.5L turbo engines because an error in the engine control module software may result in the fuel injectors being disabled.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.

Cadillac is bringing a new concept to Pebble Beach

Mon, Aug 15 2016

Cadillac will debut a new concept Thursday in Monterey. The company also released teaser video, but it only shows us a few glimpses of interior parts and a concept drawing that seems to show a very minimalistic dashboard. The big draw appears to be the large screen filling in for instruments and infotainment. According to Cadillac, the screens are curved OLED panels co-developed with LG, and the technology behind them will appear in a future Cadillac. Bringing a new concept to the famous Monterey Car Week is a return to form for Cadillac. In past years the company brought beautiful concepts like the full-size, four-door Ciel convertible, and the taught, athletic Elmiraj coupe. The latter of these showcased designed cues that trickled into production Cadillacs. No word (or pictures) on the exterior yet. We'll be sure to have complete coverage of the concept later this week.
