Pink 1961 Cadillac Fleetwood for sale in MD, near DC $500 clear title!

I don't need to post pics. You know the car, you know the story. For $500, you get a vintage Caddy that, um, needs some bodywork and mechanical repairs (engine spun a bearing when we went to put it on the trailer). It still has the cage at the moment, so that's available for an additional fee. Good news is the mint condition windshield alone is probably worth the asking price, and with it you get nearly 5,000 pounds of historic American automobile and 4 nearly brand new ($375 for the set) 225/60/15 Fuzion HRi custom wide white walls, along with a bunch of new parts.

DId I mention that it's faster in the turns than a Porsche 944?* big_smile

Restore it and drive it (original seats included), or re-LeMons it as-is with just some engine work. You'll get a standing ovation every time you fix it and go back out on the track! Car has gotten some great media reviews, and there are more in the works:

You failed to mention the car has power windows and locks that work!!! The tranny is pretty rare from what I was told!

Oh and it's also faster than a Lada, Eagle Premier, and an Olds!

Looks like the Caddy may be off the market...
...for now. Turns out the Powers that be LeMons would like to see it run again. It only needs a motor, and brakes, and bodywork, and WHAT AM I GETTING MYSELF INTO AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Maybe you can run the caddy and prefect as a team.  Stick the prefect in the trunk and when the caddy stops running take it out and finish the race in that.
