This is a color I like a lot, to me it looks like a light or medium Bronze.

Not sure on price.  It is not worth it to restore, so it's driver class.  I believe an in person inspection would yield a bit more small wear to the body and I would inspect the possible rust under the vinyl top. Seller is generally being very careful on his photo choices, with the one exception on the B Pillar.

I would say this would be a good $6,000 car.  I would also like to know the condition of the A/C. Probably "just needs a charge".

Appears to have been repainted above the pinstripe as the color is clearly off. Not surprising as Cedar Firemist is a difficult color to match, as most metallics are.

Bryan,
You, or someone else, posted this same car before. I wonder if it's the same owner or if it changed hands. I would say I saw this same car within the past year with the same photos.

Thanks Scott. I have a decent memory but surely may have missed it.  I have been posting a few Sevilles lately but do not recall that color.

I was certain it was the same car when I saw the one photo with unpainted rust on the "B" pillar but I also remembered the photos of that bridge-like over structure which I now guess is some part of a parking structure. Maybe I could find it if I searched but I literally only see these cars for sale listed on this site unless someone happens to bring them up in the wrong section of CadillacForums... I'm 99% sure I saw it here though.

No big deal really but it would be interesting to know if it changed hands between then and now. I like the car and I like some of the "mechanicals" more than my Eldorado, mostly the essentially bullet proof TH400, but while I like both cars overall I like the look of the Eldo more and my collection needs to be reduced so I cannot even think of another car. I wish I could "save" them all.
