This is one of those great cars you hear stories about, lovingly cared for by its owner but lost to time after his passing. I encourage you to come see this car in person, I restore and repair classic cars for a living because I really love cars, so when I tell you this is one incredible find, take the time to see for yourself!
You should know:
I am listing the car for a customer who inherited a few cars from his father who was a collector. We went out to Kansas to prep them for transport as they had been stored in an old building for many years. When they arrived at my facility, we very carefully washed and cleaned them.
Also pulled the tires off to inspect the brakes, all parts are original, date coded components! The rotors were "lightly turned" to remove some surface corrosion and the calipers replaced, (original ones come with the car). The rears were very good, in fact the wheel flange on the axles still shines as if the car was assembled last week!
We pumped the old gas out of the tank and added fresh gas.
A new Delco battery was installed and she fired right up! She runs great, very smooth and quiet as you might expect from a car with 17,500 miles.
There is some damage as someone tried to steal some emblems. A few are missing.
We vacuumed and wiped the interior and polished all of the chrome.
Chrome on this car is unbelievable, it look new.
Check the date original date coded wires and painted heater hose, this car is a time capsule!!!!
While this is a great car its not perfect, I have not tried the air conditioning either. The paint is very nice but not sure if its original. If you want to see her, fly in and we can pick you up at Detroit Metro Airport and bring you back, its only about 1/2 hour ride.
I'm not sure what its really worth so we are starting the bidding low and hope for the best.
If you have questions, please call Dave's Hot Rod Garage 734-692-7151
Thank you.

Jeep Twitter account hacked, bad language, poor grammar and some hilarity ensue
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Just a day after Burger King's Twitter account was compromised by "unauthorized users," Jeep's social media feed has been similarly hacked. Both instances of digital incursion share some similarities - the BK hackers changed the company's logo for McDonald's familiar golden arches, saying a sale had occurred, while the Jeep miscreants have replaced Jeep's branding with that of General Motors property Cadillac.
The resulting tweets from the damaged Jeep account have been a pretty brutal, to put it bluntly. Most of the content coming from the hacked account is unpublishable here, using language that is peppered with racial epithets, and poorly worded "shout outs."
In addition to the defamatory tweets themselves, the hackers have significantly altered the layout of the page. Jeep's header image now features a picture of the Cadillac ATS to go along with the Wreath and Crest, some language calling out that car as winning the 2013 North American Car of the Year award, and this gem: "The official Twitter handle for the Jeep(R) - Just Empty Every Pocket, Sold To Cadillac =[" Also, perhaps in an ode to yesterday's Burger King heist, the background image for the page now features a McDonald's-themed donk. The devil's in the details, we guess.
Next-gen Cadillac Escalade debuting October 7 in NYC
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Cadillac will unveil the next Escalade in October, at an event in New York City. It will be the sole member of GM's large SUV family to not get a debut at the Texas State Fair, which we don't think is all that surprising, considering the kind of clientele attracted by the big Caddy.
The new truck, from the few teaser images and spy shots we've seen, has evolved with the rest of the Cadillac range. We've got a glimpse of its tall, thin headlights, which look like an evolution of what's on the current truck. Expect some kind of egg-crate grille, reminiscent of the new CTS and ATS, while Cadillac's CUE system should feature heavily in what we hope is a thoroughly revised cabin.
The event takes place on October 7, so check back then for more info on the all-new Escalade.
Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
