FOR SALE!

I've decided it's time to let this car go.  Accepting offers.  Cash talks!  Car is appraised at $28,000.  Trades will be considered, but I'm not looking for a project. 

 

CANDY COATED
All PPG products used: Cadillac White Diamond Pearl on top, Custom "Apple Wine" candy over a gold base on the bottom.

The "apple wine" story:  The paint job as you see it is the second total paint job on this car.  The previous paint was Garnett Red, similar to the current red just not candy.  The interior in the car was done when the car was garnett red, and it was only a year old so i didn't want to change it when i repainted it.  Knowing this, i had to pick a color paint that would match the interior.  The car went to the paint shop to get the two tone paint job...White Diamond over Candy Sunset Red.  I had been following the progress of the paint job and it looked great...in the shop.  The painter called me one day and told me i needed to come see something.  He had completed the car and, to our surprise, what matched the interior perfectly in the shop actually turned a bright shade of orange in the bright sunlight!!!  We scratched our heads for awhile and he finally came up with a plan.  The car went back in, and he shot Candy Wineberry over the Sunset Red.  The result is what we call Candy Apple Wine.

AERO-COUPE
The caprice aero-coupe was only produced in 1977-1979, and is fairly rare.

Stock grill, but brand new. Also, notice no bumper gaurds. Not sure of the rarity of that, but i don't see too many with smooth bumpers front and rear
