Custom Coupe Convertible - Mint Condition on 2040-cars

For sale and for the first time ever on eBay is my sweet 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood Coupe Convertible. This beautiful shiny black car with d'Elegance grey leather interior with only 55, 365 original miles. This Cadillac is a Custom Car Craft (Eisenhardt and Hess) conversion. Original Nevada car with one owner for over 20 years who passed away and left it to his son in Dallas who had it shipped to Texas in 2012. Some service records back to 1992 and all recent work available. Upon arrival in Dallas, the son had a full mechanical inspection and service. The oil, brakes bled, radiator  flush, and AC  R-134 (ice cold) were serviced at that time and he had the air suspension converted to rear struts and the front end aligned. Since I have owned the Caddy, I have added new Vogue tires with less than 200 miles, fresh wax & detail, state safety inspection, and oil change.

This Fleetwood coupe is and ultra rare conversion by Car Craft and this is the Wikipedia entry on custom coach convertibles is below. I have owned many convertibles and this top is by far the finest construction of them all especially when compared to the GM scissors tops of the 70's. Top shows only one blemish which is reflected in the pictures. Otherwise it is clean and tight running down the highway at 75 MPH.

Conversions of GM products

It  is estimated  a production total near 300 Coupe Devilles were converted.  However, the Fleetwood Coupe is a much more rare and more desirable collector car and perhaps less than 10 are in existence. The same basic design was used for model years ’86-91.  At that point, it seems that Car Craft vanished as part of the S+S Coach/Superior Company and they appeared to focus on limousines and hearses.  They are now part of the Accubuilt Company.   

Car Craft was associated with Hess & Eisenhardt and when the H&E name was sold off in ’85, the company continued to build their convertibles as Car Craft.

This condition of this car is excellent to mint and it's a stunner at the car shows and draws a lot of attention going down the road. It has always been maintained and stored indoors in dry weather climates its whole life. Besides the custom top, the car's frame was upgraded with custom cross members for support and it is the smoothest riding Cadillac I have ever drove. It's suspension is a little firmer than stock, but it still floats down the road like a dream. No squeaks, rattles or smells. There are some very minor imperfections in the paint like small scratches and chips, buy they are barely noticeable. You have to really look close to see them. I urge you to have the car inspected prior to purchase at your own expense and I will assist in making the car available.

Here is a list of the following features:

• ·         Custom Continental Kit and Rolls Royce grill really distinguish the car from all others.
• ·         AC converted to R-134 and ice cold. Heater and fans all working  fine as well.
• ·         Cruise control - working.
• ·         AM/FM Stereo Cassette with custom amps and crossovers in the trunk and i believe a subwoofer behind the back seat but not sure. Nice sounding 80's custom stereo.
• ·         Power antenna -working.
• ·         All windows and power door locks working. (One slow rear window).
• ·         All electronics, power seats, and mechanicals working as they should and the passenger rear window a little slow.
• ·         Clean Carfax and never wrecked.
• ·         Custom boot cover for convertible top never put on the car.
• ·         New custom floor mats.
• ·         Original owners manual and gold keys. Extra sets too.
• ·         The interior is original and pristine. No cracks, rips or scratches of any kind or very minor if you can find them.
• ·         Digital dash and all gauges working as they should. Regular unleaded gas.
• ·         Engine bay and trunk are almost like new.

I have a lot of money in this car and don't have to sell it, but I want a new Corvette so I am willing to part with the Caddy for the right price.  I will ship overseas and assist with shipping internationally.  Bank wire transfer with confirmed deposit is the only way I will do a transaction not local to Dallas, TX.

I feel I have described this Cadillac accurately and the next owner will be proud to be the owner and take it to shows or just drive for fun. I will answer any emails to the best of my ability and will take phone calls if you email me your number. Lastly, I've sold a few cars on eBay so I know how it works and will not tolerate scammers and they will be reported. My name is Sean and I look forward to speaking to you about the car. Clean Texas title in my name. Insured by Hagerty $500/yr.
