How Is This Not In Florida?!

Whomever modified this car didn’t miss a single page in the J.C. Whitney catalog…
What can I possibly add to this?  Well, okay, comments are with the images.

$305 with two bids and no reserve

This must be the most awesome side exhaust setup I’ve seen, with the external routing and quad, square tips, which are reminiscent of later GM products.  Also, running boards on a regular car are an interesting choice.  Opera lights, hood vents and extra stripes and logos help to complete the subtle look of luxury.

Continental kit?  You betcha!

Let’s get a closeup of that side exhaust!  Oops, it’s disconnected on the left side.  Any chance this is hooked up to the manifold?  If so, this isn’t the best place to discharge exhaust.  Did the previous owner die peacefully while driving?

Rust bubbles? That doesn’t support the limited use claims.  Then again, this is a Canadian car and not in Arizona.

Interior shots are lacking, but this angle isn’t bad.

Engine compartment looks fine – certainly not over detailed.

NO RESERVE AUCTION  Barn Find:  Up for bid is a  “Commemorative Edition” 1985 Cadillac Touring Coupe. One of only 585 touring coupes produced  in 1985 and one of  only a few that were ordered with the gold commemorative package. How many still are around, if any, I am not sure.  Yes, the mileage is right as this old girl still has her original set of Uniroyal “Gold Seals” on  her after all these years and they still show about 70% – 80% tread.  She was a Sunday driver and came from the estate of a local businessman who passed away several years back.  This vintage Caddy starts and runs well but the brakes are a little spongy from sitting and the “Brake Warning” light stays on when driving.  It has climate control  and still blows cool but not cold when turned on.  She needs a new owner to restore her back to her original elegance that she had when she left the Linden NJ plant in 1985.  This car is a great investment considering its truly “One of a Kind” factory order and modification makeup ranging from the Hood Mascot and Chrome Wings, Rolls Front Valence Piece, Fender Side Pipes and Step Boards, Scripted Glass/Taillights, Continental Spare Tire Kit, the ASC conversion Sunroof,  Phaetom Style Rear Roof with Gold Accents…  Bodywise this car is straight and complete although there is some rust mostly on the passenger side as the pictures show.  Terms of sale are a $500 deposit from high bidder via PayPal within 24 hours of auction close and remaining balance by Bank Draft within 5 days of auction close.  Pickup location is Pembina ND zip code 58271 and car will need to be picked up within 2 weeks of auction close unless other arrangements are made. I can help arrangement shipment to your location if needed but the cost is the responsibility of the new owner.  Thanks for looking…
