Notes
Originally designed under the destination of Callisto, the Cadillac Allante was a secret weapon hidden in GMs sleeve. This 1988 Allante convertible, with 65,571 miles, is a time capsule of Cadillacs late luxury sports roadster. The body designed and built in Cambiano, Italy by Pininfarina, which is of Ferrari fame. The bodies were then flown to Detroit to be matched to the chassis and this example has both the removable hard top and the soft top available. Around 2,569 Allantes were produced in 1988 with only 33 being the Burgundy Metallic like our stunning example here. Powered by a strong 4.1 V8 that is paired to a smooth shifting 4-speed automatic transmission, this roadster can scoot. This Allante has tons and tons of modern comforts such as Air Conditioning, AM/FM radio, Anti-Theft, Lumbar Support, Power Brakes, Power Locks, Power Seats, Power Steering, Power windows, and the owner has recently added a Back-up Camera, a Dash Camera, and even remote start! Good luck finding another example with these features, let alone one in the rare and desirable Burgundy Metallic. The owner has also had tons of upgrades added including fixing the cassette player, having the stunning Red Leather seats re-dyed, and also adding the Dash Camera, Backup Camera and even Remote Start. This Allante was fully loaded from the factory, and is even more fully loaded now that the owner has added all of these amazing features. Some additional features of this stunning example of 1988 Cadillac Allante include A/C, AM/FM radio, Cassette Player, Manual Convertible top, Lumbar Support, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Locks, Power Windows, Radial Tires, Seatbelts, Telescopic and Tilt Steering wheel, Back-Up Camera, the new Dash Camera, and even the Remote Start!

Bought a vehicle based on Gateways description and pictures 2 weeks ago. I live 1100 miles away, so I was trusting their word. What a big mistake!Vehicle was listed as a "fresh restoration in May 2016". The salesman(Brad at the Tampa branch)assured me this car was in great "show" condition. On arrival, the vehicle barely started, had no turn signal lights, instrument cluster lights, console lights, reverse lights,or functioning horn. Fuse box is completely rusted out. Their description said it had a Holley 850 CFM carburetor, but it a 670 CFM, and it's shot. Transmission, power steering , and radiator all leaking. They attempted to plug up the leaks with gasket sealant. Some linkage under the vehicle was held together with a wire and bent nail. Both exhaust brackets broken. AC and heat had been ripped out of the vehicle. Emergency braking system completely removed. Rear leaf spring broken. Windshield washer system also completely removed. And the engine has a knocking noise. My mechanic gave me an estimate of nearly $7000 dollares to bring this vehicle just up to specs. I forwarded the estimate to Gateway per their request. 2 days later, they called me back and said their is nothing they could do for me. That I signed a sales contract, so I'm just xxxx out of luck. They say it's not their fault the previous owner told Gateway inaccurate information regarding this car. By the way, the previous owner was the car "restorer". And i use this word extremely loosely. I purchased this vehicle for almost $30,000. I didn't purchase a project car. I'm so disgusted with this company and customer relations. And based on other complaints on this website about them, this seems to be a common practice for them. I really hope people who read this shop somewhere else, and pass the word on to friends and family. Gateway Classic Cars is a SHADY, CROOKED , company!!!
