This is a beautiful car I bought last year form an estate,the former owner had the car for more than 20 years and says that the mileage is original , and I believe him.
The exterior is fire mist blue and the interior is an iridescent blue silk like fabric that is very rich in color but in photos looks washer out. The interior is in outstanding condition
the seats door panels ,carpet,headliner,seats,wood tone trim ,steering wheel are all near perfect ,and still smell new.
the paint and body are the original lacquer with almost NO RUST (there is a bit of surface rust around the windshield molding ) ,chrome , trim near perfect the condition of the car over all is that of a 3 year old car
I have just replaced the original exhaust system from the manifolds back , and put new belts on it
The vinyl top is very good with minimal shrinkage around the back window ,and very little underneath.
All of the electrical accessories work both seats,radio 8 track player, power windows , door locks, horn,lights, etc.
The tires are in good condition the front are original bias ply the rear are radials but I would have them replaced if I were to drive it anywhere (they are more than 20 years old)

How GM's grueling 24-hour test gets the kinks out of its performance cars
Tue, 27 Aug 2013One of the biggest challenges automakers face when designing a high-performance car is making sure that it is both fast and reliable. For General Motors, any car that might be taken to the track by its owner - like the Corvette, Camaro Z/28 (shown above) and the Cadillac CTS-V, for example - undergoes a rigorous and strenuous 24-hour test by engineers at the Milford Proving Grounds, as pointed out by Car and Driver.
We've posted on this topic in the past - on a video showing the Camaro ZL1 being brutalized, for instance - but this article gives a more in-depth look at what actually happens behind the scenes... including what that poor ZL1 went through. Though the test isn't for 24 hours straight, the cars are pushed as hard as possible by some of GM's best drivers with only the brakes and tires replaced frequently.
We don't want to ruin the fun for you, but it is an interesting article that tells just some of what GM does to develop its sports cars. Check out the full article over at Car and Driver for the rest of the story.
Liberace's gilded Cadillac could be yours
Tue, 27 Aug 2013With their chrome grilles and oversized wheels, it's hard not to notice a Cadillac these days. But this one is even more blingtastic on account of the 23.75-karat gold-leaf bodywork.
The 1931 Cadillac Golfer's Drop Head Coupé is said to have belonged to the inimitable performer Liberace, who didn't just have it covered in gold - he also had the exterior door handles plated in silver and the inside handles in 24-karat gold as well. It's also got a white leather interior and headlights that - well ahead of their time (if you'll pardon us, Mr. Tucker) - pivot with the steering wheel. All that bling is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission that pales in comparison to the seven, eight and even nine-speed gearboxes appearing on luxury sedans today.
The project was undertaken over the course of three years in the 1970s by one Jack Smith from Kansas. Smith (if that was his real name) sold it at auction in 1975, and it was most recently displayed for 12 years at a museum in Germany which claimed it was Liberace's own. The car is now going up for sale by Barons' at the Sandown Park horse racing track in Surrey, England, on September 17, when bidding starts at 85,000 pounds - equivalent to over $130,000 at today's rates.
