Not mine.

LA: https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/cto/d/1967-cadillac-eldorado/6499459588.html

I'm guessing the two prices are a typo, but it might be fun to see how the dealer responds. If you start with a $16950 price, I suppose it is easy enough to typo it into a $10695 price. Otherwise …

I've been watching this one for months. It started out about six months ago (in San Diego) at around $13k as a car that was about to be painted and reupholstered. If you bought it then, you could pick your color paint!

Now you can see that it was repainted … quickly. You can check other details but the two that catch my eye are:

1. The missing release button on the driver's side seat. I mean completely gone.
2. As far as I can see, a lack of California A.I.R. plumbing (into the cylinder heads) in a car that supposedly has the original A.I.R. system.

tripwire

The ad clearly states the car is in LA but can be in Phoenix in 24 hours.  What I find interesting is his price on his website is $17,900. So, that makes 3 different prices.

Speaking of air pump, the "level ride" compressor is missing... the car is resting  near or on its single leaf spring stop.   The paint looks ultra thick....note that the odometer reading is missing  --- could be a nice find though at the right price.  Happy day,
