This fine automobile was purchased by the third owner in 1983 from a local Ford dealer with 111,XXX miles and only 1500 miles were added during his ownership. The car is original except for one repaint way back when. The car is 99% rust free with the only bad spot on the lower right fender. The trunk and floors are in very good condition. The body has a few scratches and scrapes but it has never had any accident damage and the body is super straight and the doors close with that solid feel that a car of this quality should have.
The only thing that has been done since our purchase is we have installed new plug and wires, fuel filter and rubber gas lines and vavle cover gasket. The car runs and drives and the transmission shifts fine. It doesnt overheat and runs pretty decent on the old gas that was in the tank. The exhaust is original and will need replaced and the brakes will need some work. The car has power everything and most of it is in working order. The carb will need rebuilt as well. The fuel bleeds off overnight and it will have to be primed to start. The car also has its orignial belts and hoses and clamps still in place.
The leather interior is in nice shape. The dash looks great and the pad is nice and soft and in excellent condition. The headliner has a tear and stains on it and will need replaced and the door material on the left rear door has stains on it as well. The carpet is in nice condition and the car is equipped with seat blets also.
The windshield has cracks and needs replaced. Rest of the glass is in great condition. The chrome bumpers are in good shape for a car this old and the stainless is almost perfect.All body gaps are good and as far we can tell the hood has never been off the car.
This is a fine automobile that requires only minimal work and money to make a nice dependable driver. If you have any questions please feel free to call 573 366 0554 or 573 701 4709
This car if for sale locally and we reserve the right to end the auction early.

Cadillac Elmiraj Concept brings big coupe style to Pebble Beach [w/videos]
Thu, 15 Aug 2013Two years ago, Cadillac absolutely floored us with the debut of its gorgeous Ciel concept at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. And since that droptop four-door's debut, we've seen plenty of its design language worked into the latest Cadillac products. Now, we're seriously hoping that history will repeat itself with this stunning new Elmiraj coupe concept, which makes its first public appearance in Monterey this week.
Cadillac states that the Elmiraj concept simply showcases the next step forward for the brand's Art & Science design DNA, and doesn't necessarily preview an upcoming model. But if you told us the Elmiraj was a conceptual look at the next-generation CTS Coupe, or a smaller, two-door version of a new flagship, we'd believe you. At 207 inches long, 76 inches wide and 55 inches tall, its dimensions are only slightly larger than the current two-door CTS.
Regardless of what the Elmiraj does or does not become, it's certainly a fantastic modern interpretation of the classic GT formula with its short front overhang, long hood, rakish roofline and petite rear deck. The strong character lines running along the sides and exaggerated 22-inch wheels round out the beautiful coupe, and Cadillac's signature vertical LED lighting elements are found at the front and rear. Also take note: the badge on the grille is a crest without a wreath, basically confirming our earlier report.
Cadillac CTS wins 2014 Motor Trend Car of the Year [w/video]
Thu, 07 Nov 2013For the second time, the Cadillac CTS has been named Motor Trend's Car of the Year. After winning the COTY crown for 2008, the new-for-2014 CTS outdid the other two finalists for Car of the Year honors, the Mazda3 and its corporate cousin, the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.
What's notable about the Caddy's victory, though, is how it simply brushed off its competition. Both the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series failed to make the finalist's bracket, leaving the CTS to claim victory. "It had to beat [Mercedes and BMW] on style, on performance, on comfort, and on quality. It has," Motor Trend said in its COTY recap for the CTS.
The team at Motor Trend praised the CTS chassis, calling it "fantastic," and citing weight advantage the Caddy has over the competition. There was also praise heaped on the car's engines, with the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder getting nods of approval from the MT team. The team also raved about the VSport model and its twin-turbocharged V6, magnetic shocks and other performance accoutrements.
2013 Cadillac ATS 3.6 AWD
Wed, 27 Feb 2013All-Wheel, All Right
There is no escaping the luxury all-wheel drive empire Audi has built for itself over the past 15 years. While nearly every high-end marque has at least one offering with power at all four corners, the hardware can't help but play second fiddle to Ingolstadt's Quattro kingdom. Leather-lined all-wheel drive is simply Audi the way minimum wage is an English degree. But General Motors seems hell-bent on raiding as many established fiefdoms as possible with the 2013 Cadillac ATS. Engineers and designers made no secret of the fact that the baby Cadillac was penned specifically to take on the BMW 3 Series, but Audi should be no less concerned about the newest luxury prince from Detroit.
GM has been stuffing all-wheel drive systems under their vehicles for years, but the effort hasn't come without nasty side effects. Unfortunate understeer, extra ride height, smallish wheels and porky curb weight meant opting for all-wheel drive was like signing your driving pleasure's death warrant. Would you like polished brass or brushed nickel hardware for your right foot's coffin, sir?
