Description
Due to a change in my personal circumstances I am having to sell my Cadillac. It’s a great car, in constant use and reliable. Good starter, drives and stops well. Details as below but give me a call if you’re genuinely interested.

Four door hardtop body style
390 cu in V8, 325 BHP 430, FT LB Torque,
4 speed automatic w/ overdrive 700R4

Guide-Matic Autronic Eye headlight dimming
Air conditioning
Power Windows including Vent Windows
6 way power seat
Power antenna

Upgrades:
1: The original Hydramatic 4 speed has been swapped out for 700R4 Hydramatic 4 speed with overdrive final gear. Speedgems adaptor kit used. Fuel consumption improved from 12 MPG to 20 MPG
2: The dynamo has been upgraded to a high output alternator.
3: Original Carter carb has been upgraded to a new Edelbrock carb
4: The original radio has been upgraded to a Harrison unit with USB, SD, AUX & Bluetooth inputs
5: Five new radial white wall tyres. All ignition parts serviced and replaced. Brake service, oil & filter changed at time of conversion.
6: Vent windows upgraded to power.
7: 1958 hubcaps fitted as I don’t like the stock 1960 hubcaps.
Car starts well, drives well and stops well. Doesn’t overheat, is easy to handle and manoeuvre. I was planning on driving to Italy this summer. Due to a change in personal circumstances I am reluctantly advertising her for sale. Clearly not perfect but a very good car, A/ C was removed by previous owner and I was planning on restoring that next year. There are some areas of bodywork that need sorting but the paint quality is very good with no micro blistering which is common on a lot of classics. All parts removed are available with the car except the original transmission. There is probably some things that I have forgotten but that’s the jist of it. I will consider a cheaper classic in P/ X, something along the lines of a Fiat 124, Ford Capri or even a Series 2 Landrover SWB with a good diesel conversion.
Car hasn't been to any shows as I don't really attend many so will be fresh on the scene for those that do. The car will feature in a Sky Crime documentary on a serial killer in September. Car is driven regularly so mileage will increase.
To note: I will be removing the yellow headlights and refitting clear lenses. The vintage GB plate on the rear is not included (attached magnetically so no holes remain) nodding dog and Elvis not included.
