I can't understand not even throwing an old tarp over it when it was first stored. So much damage could have been avoided.
It's like many things in life - whoever put it into the barn probably intended moving it a few weeks later - then weeks became months, months became years, and there it sits.Total loss said:
Back then & into the late '80's it was normal to have the year of import plate rather than the year made, DVLA were not interested in getting it correct.
Yep.. Mine's a 77' but on a 'W' 1981 plate... Looks like aalot of work to get decent again, and not sure sure 70's Caddy's are worth much now.. Its even worse when you get wrapped-up with trying to 'liberate' a car in this situation - you make friends of the owner, spend time with them, aiming to buy the car off them (in a nice way - not trying to take an advantage) and years go by - and you still never achieve it. This happened to me years ago in 1978 - owner had driven a 1934 Railton staight 8 into a Nissen hut 10 years prior to that along with many other interesting cars - to cut a long story short 33 years later its still there and totally destroyed from the rusted-out roof of the Nissen hut. Luckily I diverted my obsession over to Yank muscle stuff - owning rarities like 4 speed 1966 7 Litre Galaxie coupe - 1971 Mustang 429 SCJ - 1967 Fairlane 380 GTA - life carried on! An Eldorado Coupe or Ragtop will be to some the dogs danglies - to others a 7 mpg boat anchor - if you like it try and buy (just don't try too hard)
