Hello Everyone,
I have a 1957 Cadillac Fleetwood "Sixty Special" Vin# 5760103088 that I just recently purchased to Restore as I drove it, but as some of you may have heard my father was injured and is now not able to work at the moment, so I am going to help him out with some of his debt (he just bought a new 1998 Jimmy so he has car payments now and also has property taxes due on his house ). This will put a strain on my restoration funds and family comes before cars so I have to let this go. I would prefer if it went to someone local so I can keep an watchful eye on how her restoration goes and possibly buy it back after I have the disposable income once again.
I have not owned it very long, and have not gotten to start on the restoration yet, but I can tell you that the car runs and drives, but I would not recommend driving more then just around town for 5 miles or so at a time because it has a brake booster or master cylinder that is some how letting brake fluid get sucked into the engine and burnt, so it goes through brake fluid rather quickly.
Also some goof ball owner before I owned the car had a trailer hitch put on the car (why anyone would tow something with an Antique Classic Car is beyond me)and they must have a wire loose or something because the tail lights and turn signals work but the brake lights seem intermittent.
As you can see in the pictures the car has a Black Exterior with a sort of Minty Green and Black Leather Interior. Power Seat, Power Windows, Power Steering, Power Brakes.
365ci 300hp Cadillac V8 (12 volt system), backed by a Automatic Transmission with Overdrive.
The Interior is very clean and the Exterior is a Great "20 footer" (as in the car looks GREAT from 20 ft or more but as you get closer you can see that the paint has started to spider crack and has imperfections in the paint).
I will let the Pictures speak for the rest. Feel free to ask any questions.
Only Serious Buyers need apply, no "tire kickers". $6,500 obo (Negotiable) Cash Only. (This car needs to be Completely Restored.)
Thank you greatly for your time, just shoot me a PM. I am located near Kansas City.

Here is the transport company loading it up (near my house) to bring it to its new owner in Florida who will properly Restore the car like it deserves.
