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.

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]
Wed, 12 Dec 20122012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:
2013 North American Car of the Year:
Combative de Nysschen defends Cadillac move, naming change
Mon, 29 Sep 2014
Johan de Nysschen isn't afraid of taking quick, decisive actions, even if they are criticized. Since taking the wheel at Cadillac, he instigated moving the luxury division's base of operations to Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood and introduced a new naming scheme for the future of the brand, like he did at Infiniti. The polarizing boss recently explained his feelings about the future of Cadillac in more depth on his Facebook page, but unfortunately only his friends could read it. Thankfully, Daily Kanban posted much of the strongly worded missive for the whole world to see.
Much of the message examines the decision to move some employees to New York. De Nysschen claims that it's all about giving Cadillac distance from Detroit to reshape itself. It allows for, "No distractions. No side shows. No cross-brand corporate considerations. No homogenized lowest common denominator approach. Just pure, unadulterated, CLASS."
2015 Cadillac Escalade
Fri, 29 Aug 2014I have never liked traveling to Monterey, CA. The picturesque coastal city is about 300 miles from my home in Los Angeles, which means cramped and uncomfortable regional aircraft are part of the equation when the turnaround is only one night. Over the years, I have cursed the LA Basin's bumper-to-bumper traffic en route to the airport, argued with TSA personnel over carry-on baggage and waited countless hours for the fog to lift just for the anguish of being packed into a small regional jet for the flight. Of course, the process repeats on the trip home with equal misery.
Yet this time I am not suffering.
Cadillac has dropped its all-new 2015 Escalade in my driveway. Instead of battling city congestion, attempting to reason with misinformed government agents, snacking on a too-small bag of pretzels and physically rubbing shoulders with a dubious stranger for 90-plus minutes within the confines of a bumpy aircraft, I have chosen to forgo air travel and drive myself door-to-door in a fullsize luxury sport utility vehicle.
