That's pretty expensive for a four door Cadillac, and judging on what they've replaced, there's a good chance that it was sitting for an extended time.

You shouldn't buy it, so I can buy it. Does that help?

I used to live off Highway 15 by the military base.

And I think you should buy this.

There's a chance you're not pimp enough for that car. How are you at growing a mustache?

Growing up, my dad had a '66 that looked almost like that. It was so wide, I remember sleeping in the "ledge" by the back window. It had 4 cigarette lighters, all windows and qtr windows were powered, cruise, radio scan, etc. it even let you drive with the high beams on and it would automatically turn them off when it sensed incoming traffic.

Great car, buy it!

That seems high for a four door but it looks nice.

6 to 8 MPG would be about the main reason not to.

429 means it will get 11 mpg and bout 14 with EFI/Carb kit.

8500$ is a good bit of money for a 62+ caddi though maybe 6K. Even in Canadian funny money.

I wonder if converting to EFI would make a meaningful improvement? This is relevant to my interests, because I frequently get a hankering for similar vintage Lincolns

I'd love to have something like converted with a modern drivetrain. LS1/good brakes/auto/decent tunes.......would be an amazing long haul road trip car.

The 425 in my (slightly newer) Cadillac doesn't do that bad on fuel.

OP: Do it.
