This is "BELLA" a beautiful 1993 Cadillac Allante Convertible Roadster. This is a great opportunity to own this Very Rare Pearl Flax 58K original low-mileage extremely well taken-care of collector automobile.
We are re-listing "BELLA" due to a non-payment from a previous eBay auction listing.
This prime example of a RARE and truly LOW MILEAGE Cadillac is a 1993 Allante Convertible Roadster with only 58000 original miles. Finished in beautiful optional Pearl Flax Clearcoat exterior the rarest color with this being 1 of 88 produced. Her beautiful yellow-tint color reflects differently in various lighting conditions as you will note in the pictures.
The 1993 Cadillac Allante is THE MOST COLLECTIBLE being the last year of production and having the Cadillac-saving Northstar engine.
Many of you already know the story of the Allante with the Italian-crafted Pininfarina Style House body flown from Europe to be mated with the American built chassis and engine assemblies. IF you are not familiar with the incredible history and design of the Allante there are many many articles online and in print to bring you up to date. We will “skip” the history lesson and concentrate on describing this beautiful example we have for sale.
“BELLA” features exclusive styling touches unlike any other car on the road. This is a true two-seat Sport Roadster with all of the luxury amenities you would expect from Cadillac available in 1993. Both the interior and the exterior are in Excellent Condition as you can see by the photos. The black French-stitched leather interior looks beautiful with the exterior color. And the stunning gleaming yellow-tint Pearl Flax paint “turns people’s heads” wherever she is driven. The convertible top is also in excellent condition. She also features the analogue dash which is best for top-down driving.
The Northstar engine debuted in the 1993 Allante. With a 295 hp 4.6L DOHC 32-valve V8 engine this car is a luxury “rocket.” She is very responsive and powerful. The car drives performs rides and sounds like a Cadillac Allante should. We have included some links to a few youtube videos showcasing the beauty of this car’s condition as well as the thoroughbred sound of her V8. She drives like a dream!

This beautiful car was delivered new to Sarasota Florida in 1993 where she remained until 1997. She was then purchased by the second owners who lived just north of Houston Texas where she remained 13 years. We are the 3rd owners and purchased “Bella” locally in 2010. She is our second 1993 Allante. We owned a Polo Green Allante a few years back and decided we wanted another.
Included is the Gold Key delivery paperwork or as well as the original Gold keys and Owners Manual. Also included is the Master Service Manual sales brochures and the extremely rare 1993 Allante Media Kit prepared by the Cadillac Division of General Motors for the launch of the new Northstar-equipped model. The kit outlines all of the technical advancements that made this car so very special. One of the pictures in the gallery shows the slides that are included in the press kit including several pictures featuring the gorgeous Pearl Flax paint.
We take pride in the condition and maintenance of our collector cars. We have always performed maintenance items to keep our cars in top running order. This 1993 has benefited from that too. Since our ownership we replaced the master cylinder brake booster trunk struts various sensors and rebuilt the radiator. We also repaired/replaced the RSS sensors (Road Sensing Suspension) the RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) and repaired and rebuilt the window switches and various other relays. All power components and electrical work as intended. These Italian-bodied cars electronics were quite “quirky” so we have invested the time and money (over $7500) to make them reliable.
The stereo system has some modifications and various improvements. The prior owners installed a Sirius Radio system as well as a 6-CD Sony player mounted in the trunk. Both of these systems are fully operational through the existing stereo system. We replaced/repaired all of the system speakers. We also installed a custom built audio input harness wired to extension in the center console with an auxiliary input for iPod iPhone etc. The system sounds fantastic! The single CD in-dash player is disabled since there is the 6-CD changer.
The tires were replaced January 27 2014 with Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus and have traveled approximately 2500 miles. We picked the Pirelli’s for her Italian ancestry. Treadwear is minimal and the ride is silky smooth and responsive.
There are a few minor blemishes on the exterior that are difficult to see such as a small crimp on the rear trunk near the Sirius radio antenna caused by someone opening the hard-shell top cover too far. There are very few minor chips.
*** Additional maintenance just completed: We replaced the motor mounts and torque struts ($1400) so "Bella" is lightning fast with completely smooth and strong acceleration.***
