Didn't really know where to post this, hope it's okay! I posted earlier about wanting to buy a hearse, and I think I found my soul-mate, car wise.
It's a 1969 Cadillac hearse, that according to the owner, was also used as an ambulance.
I'm paying $1600 cash for it, and not until I'm sure the car isn't completely trash, but it has little rust on it, and a tear in the driver's side seat, needs a new exhaust and rear brakeline, though it is driveable. It has rollers in the back, that apparently flip down to become a flat surface. It's not perfect, but he's only the second owner; he bought it from the funeral home around 1996, and has kept in a garage ever since.
Just wanted some of your thoughts on it, since you guys have hearses, and I hope to become a member of your club soon!
So any tips, caveats, helpful hints -- aside from the fact that I'm buying a big-gas-guzzling-always-going-to-need-some-kind-of-repair-monster-mash-mobile -- I'd love to know.
Thanks!
