This 1983 Cadillac 3-way hearse was documented as a themed vehicle for the “5th Realm Haunted House,” featuring a white exterior, red interior, and specific branding including “5th Realm Haunted House” lettering on the body and a “5TH RLM” license plate. The driver’s cabin was filled with spiderwebs, a consequence of the vehicle sitting for an extended period. Despite its theatrical purpose, the vehicle retained original curtains, distinguishing it from modified show cars that often strip factory elements.
The condition of the hearse reflects years of storage and exposure, with significant rust noted on the body and the roof described as “crunchy.” Both passenger windows were non-functional due to broken glass, and the vehicle had been parked for several years with fluid left in the systems. While it was reportedly running decently at the time of its last drive, the listing indicated that it would likely require tuning, fluid flushes, a new battery, tires, and other unspecified repairs to become operational again. With a listed price of $500 in Selma, California, this project vehicle represented a raw opportunity for restoration or continued use as a haunted attraction prop.
