I do have another KV-8000 in fairly nice shape, so no need to put this one on display. I'm a "new in the box" nut for a lot of things, and in fact I almost bought a '78 Cadillac with 0.7 miles on it at auction in Reno... Still had the plastic on the seats & steering wheel, retail sticker still in the dealers packet strapped to the steering wheel (never taken out and put in the window), and the tires had rotted right off. Miraculously, the battery tray wasn't even corroded up. It had gone dead before it had a chance to emit any gasses. (engine was frozen up too).

It was an Eldorado Biarritz. Can't remember for sure if it had the "astro roof", but it probably did, since those were almost standard on the Biarritz. The story was that the owner of a Cadillac dealership had it put in storage as the "last big Cadillac" to be marketed, and he just left it there. I don't remember who got it, but it went way out of my price range.
