HERE IS A RARE COUNTRY CLUB CADILLAC. BOUGHT CAR TO RESTORE. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. CAN BE USED AS DAILY DRIVER.
The Cadillac Allanté is a two-door, two-seater roadster marketed by Cadillac from 1986 until 1993, with roughly 21,000 units built over a seven-year production run.
Originally designed to compete with the Mercedes-Benz SL and Jaguar XJS, the Allanté featured a slightly modified variant of the 4.1 liter V8 used across Cadillac's model line.
The Allanté is noted for an unusual production arrangement, where completed bodies -- designed and manufactured in Italy by Pininfarina --[1] were shipped 4,600 mi (7,400 km) from Italy in specially equipped Boeing 747s, 56 at a time,[1] to Cadillac's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly plant where they were mated with domestically manufactured chassis and engine assemblies.[1] This was not the first time that Cadillac turned to Pininfarina for body work, they previously farmed out body production to the Turin-based coachbuilder for the 1959 Eldorado Brougham, as well as that for several one-offs, customs, and concept cars.
In 1991, Cadillac added a power-latching mechanism for the convertible top,and the digital instrument cluster, featured in all but 275 Allanté models this year, was repriced (it was now a $495 option for the convertible model). Prices began at $57,260, although a midyear price-drop brought the Allanté convertible down to $55,900, and the hardtop/convertible down to $61,450 (from $62,810). Allanté still boasted the most luggage room in its class; an astonishing 16.3 cubic feet of storage (when utilizing the pass-through compartment into the cabin area), more than twice the 7.9 cu ft (220 L) trunk of a Mercedes SL. Of the 1,928 models produced for 1991, only seven were manufactured for export -- five to Canada, one to Italy, and another to Puerto Rico. Canadian models offered a kilometer-based instrument cluster, daytime running lamps, and an engine block heater as standard equipment, while the Italian model featured a list of European-mandated modifications, including breakaway side mirrors, specific European headlamps and turn signals, a front tow hook, rear fog lamps, deletion of the deck-lid mounted center brake light, a wet-arm windshield washer system, coolers for the power steering and automatic transmission fluids, and a revised steering column to compensate for the removal of the driver's airbag. The rarest factory color was 49U -- Light Blue Metallic, of which 20 were made, while the most popular color (with 569 manufactured) was 47U -- Euro Red. The most popular interior color, 171 -- Charcoal Gray leather, was featured in over half (1,009) of the 1991 models.VIN:1G6V53383MU125532
