Don't sweat it. Here's another one on the bay in excellent shape, with seller feedback at 100%. If you plan on keeping the ole Caddy, then don't let this one slip away.

I think that's where the service manual went was with the 70 Coupe' DeVille when it was sold. I know the door and hood are gone, but there was a mirrir, button panel and mirror control, som AC parts and such. If he wants to know and is interested I'll go look, it's all in my moms attic. -- "Network management is like trying to herd cats." -- Unknown "I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges?" -- TazAmd - Humor Section Gettingtogather.com |
