My kind of car! If you have never driven a Northstar Cadillac all I can tell you is that this is a muscle car in a tuxedo, these things are fast. 0-60 in 7.5 & 1/4 in 15.3 which is as faster than the original muscle car.

Here is an excerpt from the original 1964 GTO optioned Tempest in Motor Tend:

Our best run netted zero to 30, 45, and 60 mph in a wheelspinning, rubber-burning 3.7, 5.6, and 7.7 seconds respectively, while the hot Tempest turned the quarter-mile in 15.8 seconds, hitting a high 93 mph as it crossed the marker.

Here's a review from Edmunds:

This was my first luxury car. It had phenomenal acceleration, which was shocking considering how heavy the car is. It was as fast as my GTO. It had plenty of interior room and was very comfortable. It also had an enormous trunk. It ran like a Swiss watch. 

Hope this helps sell the car. I love mine! Good price too! 

Should also mention that smoking the fronts is easy with Traction Control Off, it will even lay a 20 foot patch by the time the Traction Contol kicks in, just in case these things are important to you. Hard on the OEM $225 Micelins but fun. Oh and another thing the speed limiter is easy to hit on on ramps, comes on at 115 or 130 MPH depending on OEM rated tires.

For 2900 bucks you will be getting a lot more car than most of the five figure restored "muscle" cars we own.

I have seen this car and its worth more...  I woulds vote for this car!

I think it's getting to the point that we need a separate Caddy sub-forum...

That's great Earl. Room for another toy in the driveway!

Thats Great ! just one to go !-ya lotta car for the money just really tough to sell anything these days.

 I spoke with the friend that bought my 97 Lesabre today-they are very pleased it was $2400 cert/e-tested also and just 180kms.

 I have dealers calling all the time trying to move their back row stuff-nothing back or front row selling-everyone is wait and see.
