1993 Cadillac Allante Description
The Cadillac Allante is a two-door, two-seater luxury roadster produced by Cadillac from 1987 to 1993. The Allante 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, 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 Polo Green a new color for 1993, the exterior of this car has a few dings in the door and despite being garaged much of the time, there is some sun damage on the clear coat on the trunk. Cosmetic only. Rubber and plastic trim are in great condition and the recently replaced new factory convertible top and liner are extremely clean. Inside features newly recovered cream leather power seats, power windows, premium audio, CRT digital instrument cluster, power mirrors, air conditioning and more. Due to frequent use in the California sun the area above the front dash has been warped, but has been repaired. Brakes are near new at least 80%.
This car is second owner, all original parts, interior and exterior with new tires. No check engine light on, doesn't overheat, and yes A/C converted from freon blows cold! Electric front and rear convertible pull down motors recently replaced. Trunk pull down works as it is supposed to. !This car is ready for you to enjoy the summer! It is not a new car, I drove it daily until I replaced with an identical twin with 10K miles last year.
Just 4,670 Allantes 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.
