Not mine, price looks fair.  https://offerup.co/EPTRHlo3jBb

For a low mileage car I do not like the interior.

Driver's seat, dash and door panel all cracked. Did this car sit outside? The steering wheel is wrapped too.

I am noticing a trend that after each 100,000 miles cars are being magically reborn again.

That seat has seen more time than a greyhound.

Reminds me of a story of a friend and I were looking at some older Cadillacs at a used car dealership, "buy here, pay here"  kinda place. We were looking at a (tired) 78 Seville elegante that had obviously been around the block when the salesman pounces and exclaiming it preservation and then went into how it had only had 15,000 miles and all of a sudden my friend started looking on the ground in distress, finally the salesman started looking too and asked what he was looking for??? And my friend replied:

 " my pumpkin 🎃 !!!  It must have fallen off" 🤣

Go, those pillow inserts in the door panels are prone to cracks 30 years ago so for one to make it this long I. A hot dry climate is not bad. Also for some reason the brown dyed leather of this generation aged quickly, I know because I had a 78 Custom two tone Biarritz that by 1981 had cracked in multiple area and I had a serious discussion with Taylor Cadillac about the poor quality of the seats (to there credit they replaced both front seats at cost with no charge for the labor). So I would say IMHO this is a pretty well preserved car.

I absolutely agree it's a decent car at 50 years old...I'm just not buying into the 'actual miles'.

A lot of things can happen in five decades and condition can be almost anything regardless of how low the mileage. What does this one in is the ugly duckling color combination and the condition of the interior which is poor. There are plenty of low mileage high condition original 75/76 Cadillacs around which this car will never match no matter how much money is thrown at it. Seller's description is typical of those having little or no knowledge of what a real one looks like, nor what it would cost before this car would come close to passing for one.

The steering wheels for this era Cadillac have a tendency to crack.  The one on my '77 cracked in a couple of places several years ago and it only has 20,000 miles.  It's in an unheated garage.
