Re: [MBZ] Somebody needs this '85 CD!
The guy must have reposted/edited the ad since it now says $800. It did say that the body was in good shape, but hidden rust would definitely be a problem where you are in RI. I remember many stories my dad told of rusty cars in Chicago where he grew up. Some good ones include a friend's car who's rear doors wouldn't open. Since the supporting structure was rotted away, and the doors were binding and keeping the car from collapsing. He told me about many times he's seen springs popping through fenders/hoods, and another one of his friends had a car bust in half while being towed on a tow truck. The tin worm is nothing to take lightly.

Re: [MBZ] Somebody needs this '85 CD!
AW... I gotta have a sedan. Coupes give me a neckache. Besides, I grew up in the Cadillac Body by Fisher, Enter like a lady era. No one had coupes because it was difficult for old great aunts to climb ass in the air into a back seat. Those old great aunts who bought the Lincoln and Mercury coupes with the long doors? I've seen too many of them park on a slope at a family picnic and have the door drag them out of the seat when they opened it. I had a young salesman once use a pitch that my old Fleetwood was like riding around in one's living room. (Land yacht they called it.) I didn't trade on this little coupe he was trying to move. I said, Some of us just MIGHT LIKE riding around in our living rooms. Still, I like the lighter doors on sedans as cheap strip malls try to fit more cars in tighter spaces.
