Last seen listed at $3,150 in Crestview, Florida, this 1974 Cadillac Hearse by Miller Meteor presented a great restoration opportunity with over $6,500 invested in updates. Repairs include roof restoration with holes fixed and bedliner applied, a new muffler, HEI ignition upgrade with new wires, new AC compressor (still holding a refrigerant leak), alternator, starter, front and rear headliner, and a rebuilt rear floor with new rollers. Spark plugs, battery, and four new tires round out the mechanical work, with professional timing and idle adjustments performed.
Still needing attention: a faulty washer pump, leaking rear main seal, and a new transmission gasket and pan included but uninstalled. The coach sits in primer awaiting paint, with a small leak around the front passenger door, misaligned hood, cracked windshield, and a manual choke needed for optimal cold starts. It starts and drives well, providing a solid foundation to complete the project.
