There's an ******* over on Moparts that wants to do the unmentionable to it. Please save it.

Where's Garden City in relation to Detroit? Hmmm...

That's closer than Paul's new vert was to me, anybody want me to look at it for them?

I doubt it'll go to the derby....low mileage and a no price ad??? He's probably delusional and want $10k or more for it.

A Google search of his # shows that he's selling off a ton of stuff including this:

and this:

That would look really cool in your shop, Matt.

Reading his ad...... seems like he hasn't had it for long. He said he checked the car out and most everything works. So it might be an inheritance acquisition.

Looking at all the types of stuff for sale, you are probably right.

I would take that vinyl top off and would have to think about putting a vinyl top back on or painting it.

That's a lot of holes to fill plus you'll be pulling the interior. Leave it as is and let the funkiness be a tribute to the way things were back then.

It looks like an Eldorado roof. Would look much better on an Eldorado.

"Nice Cadillac...."

 

[1978 NYB]

From the rear it kinda looks like a Cadillac with the tail lights. LOL!

Gee there seems to be a nice stash of cars in the Detroit area still !!!! Who knew ??? Did you ??? :yourock:

I recall that back in the '70s around here, there were shops that installed aftermarket vinyl roofs like this one that didn't use clips to hold on the edge trim. It was glued somehow. Maybe you'd get lucky with this one.

Oh I know believe me! This one has been around a long time.
The only vintage audio equipment I want in my shop that's not installed in an old Mopar would be a Leslie amp with the whirlybird speaker in it, they're just too kool!
