Unless you know something we don't, I read where he passed on it because they couldn't agree on a price.

I haven't checked MoBo or MCLC yet.

Thanks for the replies. Found one in Indianapolis. Carrera green, white buckets, great shape. Flew up, saw it personally. Had two very knowledgeable Cadillac friends, who were at the Mecum Auction look at it with me. Very good car. Got very lucky with transport and a carrier loaded with Mecum cars, and mine left Indy last night and should be in Atlanta today!

Factory datatag shows correct info. New top, rebuilt engine/trans, recent  Jenkins  interior, everything works.

Yes, meant to make a post here, but got sidetracked, doing a little driving! It is a sweet car.

Back and forth with the seller, but we finally reached an agreeable sum.

A lot of carriers leaving Mecum Indianapolis and was able to get the last place on one heading south yesterday, Friday. Rolled up about 3:00pm today. Lots of squealing from the Mrs. We went for a cruise.

Lime Sherbet? Key Lime? Anne still searching for names. It is a sophisticated color and style after the in-your-face 1959. I think it is the 1960 Grace Kelly to the 1959 Sophia Loren.

Seller says,
"*94,000 Miles
*Carrara Green with white Jenkins leather interior, Rare Bucket Seats
*Power Steering, Power Vent & all Windows, Power Brakes, Power Trunk opener & closer, Power Radio Antenna
*Rebuilt 390 cu in motor with tri- power ( 3 2bbl carburetors), Rebuilt transmission
*New shocks and springs, New brake drums and shoes, New Gas Tank and sending unit
*New Coker wide whitewall radial tires, New power convertible top, New carpet, New Heater Box

This car is well sorted out.  I have owned the car since January 2008.  All service and refurbishing records are available since January 2008." All this and more checks out well.   

Seller is a really nice guy. Very well-to-do. In the family produce business that has been a major player for the last 90 years. He took very good care of this car. Put about 5,000 miles on it since 2008.

It almost looks like money green to me.

I'd get a plate for the front that say's,

  "Big"
"Money"

It just sorta fits Bill, the car and the color. I'm not a person for green, but that is very pleasing to the eyes.
