Default Big Ass Hearse For Sale

The Last Ride Express will be in the Concours and will be available for purchase immediately after the awards ceremony. It's a '78 Cadillac built by Hess and Eisenhardt for a mortuary in Palo Alto, California.

It runs ok, starts quickly and passed CA smog on 8/2/09. Mileage is slightly under 100K. It has four new wide whitewall BF Goodrich Silvertown radials with about 500 miles on them. The previous owner paid $240 each for them in January '09 (I have the receipts). Chrome is all there and good and the glass is good.

All accessories except the A/C work.

So much for the good news. Now what's not so good.

The A/C doesn't work.

The seams of the vinyl top are split and there is rust at the junction of the top and body. Paint on the hood is faded and peeling.

There are a couple of cracks on the dash pad and the front (only) seat is a bit worn. Oh, and the plastic on the steering wheel is disintegrating.

This hearse is far from perfect but looks ok from a distance and it's drivable. You can use it to have fun and creep out all your friends and neighbors or build it into a huge hot rod.

Asking around $2500 or a decent offer. No trades or weird deals please.

Thanks

It's true. It's a nice ride. I had to talk my wife out of buying it on the spot. Something about putting a mattress in the back?? Crazy talk.
