For sale is a 1979 Cadillac Roadstar one off custom car built for the 1979 Los Angeles Auto Show by a private coachbuilder as a prototype production vehicle; the Roadstar was shown at various major auto shows. Notwithstanding significant buyer interest and deposits. no other vehicles were ever produced. Owner has original sales brochure.   Tooling spent for pre-production was claimed to be in excess of $100. 00. 00.

This vehicle is a total custom creation. in an entirely different league from the chopped Eldorado convertibles that Hess & Einhart made in the 80's.   there are no other vehicles like this one anywhere.  Hood. grille. front bumpers. lights. fender lines. moldings and window stainless trim are custom made and unique to this vehicle. which was stretched 16” in front and shortened 8” in the rear to create a two passenger convertible in a modern interpretation of a Cord or Auburn Speedster. Photo's do not do justice to this custom.   This car is the ultimate classy. understated boulevard cruiser that draws attention from car buffs everywhere.

Current owner has had vehicle for over twenty-five years and has made improvements with hidden headlights. functional side pipes and heavy duty x member reinforcements. all fabricated and installed by hot rod legend Gene Winfield; also added were Garmin navigation. hood louvers. LED lighting . digital gauges. push button transmission. dash mounted cup holders and a totally unique all leather interior.

Driven sparingly before a recent frame on cosmetic and mechanical restoration and always garaged. it has less than 100 miles since being restored. Actual mileage is unknown due to several interior redo's which changed gauges. but estimated in the range of 50-60K.   The vehicle is in excellent condition with a perfect or near perfect body. It has an Alpine Marine Control in keeping with the design of the dash and console. Alpine Amp and Speakers.   The original GM 350 V8 engine has been rebuilt at a cost of over $10. 00. 00. with a more aggressive cam. etc and sports an engine dress up kit.
