The Cadillac Allante is a two-door, two-seater luxury roadster produced by Cadillac from 1987 to 1993. The Allante was designed to compete with the Jaguar XJS and the Mercedes Benz SL and featured a Cadillac chassis coupled with a body built in Italy by Pininfarina.
The unusual production arrangement between Italian body designer
Pininfarina and US Based Cadillac resulted in a sport luxury car
that was quite pricey coming in at close to $60,000 in 1987. The
bodies were shipped in specially equipped Boeing 747's, 56 at a
time over the course of 7 years with production totaling 21,430
cars. They were sent from Italy to Detroit, MI where the
drivetrains were fitted and finally assembly was finished. With
bold styling and full of luxury features including the full command
center, this is one of the most unique vehicles you can drive. Many
improvements were made in the final buildout for this example
including the brand-new Twin Cam 32v Northstar V8. This engine gave
out a significant improvement on power and torque and was rated for
295hp and 290ft-lbs of torque and mated to its fully electronic
4T-80E transmission now, this vehicle was really state of the art
for its time. The new, modern powertrain was able to push to 60mph
in only 6.4 seconds and went from 122 mph max to 140 mph, their
goals for this vehicle were finally met and the Northstar went on
to become one of Cadillacs most popular engine for buyers and
enthusiasts alike.
A last year model, this car is equipped with the powerful Northstar
V8 and its much improved interior. Finished in Pearl White, the
exterior of this car is stunning and has excellent paint quality on
its very clean body. Rubber and plastic trim are in great
condition and the factory black soft top is extremely clean. Inside
features excellent condition cream leather power seats, power
windows, premium audio, CRT digital instrument cluster, power
mirrors, air conditioning and more. Just 4,670 were produced for
1993 and the cars are much rarer and unique than a competing
Mercedes. Offering Euro chic styling combined with American power,
this Allante is sure to please.The 1993 Allante was also chosen as
the 1992 pace car for the 76th Indy 500 Indianapolis 500, the pace
car was driven by Bobby Unser.
This car is original owner, all original parts, interior and exterior with new tires. It has been stored inside and covered for most of it's life.
