Last seen listed at $5,999 in Beavercreek, Oregon, this 1973 Cadillac Hearse by Miller Meteor showed 96,473 miles with a solid frame, suspension, and original steel body. Now wearing gloss black paint, the coach was originally finished in Zodiac Blue with a crinkle-painted steel top, having passed through several color schemes over its lifetime.
Power comes from a factory-stock 472 cu in V8 that starts reliably even after long storage, paired with an automatic transmission functioning well. Needed attention includes recharging the factory air conditioning, replacing the heater core, and repairing an exhaust leak at the manifold gasket — replacement gaskets included. The alternator, exhaust, and accessories remain original, riding on aftermarket Grand Am Radial GT tires with full tread despite roughly 10 years of age.
A standout feature is the professionally installed Phoenix Gold stereo system, custom-built for a local radio station’s haunted house event — four Tantrum 400.4 amps, midrange speakers, tweeters, and six 12-inch subwoofers in custom enclosures. Surface rust and cosmetic imperfections include a small rust spot on the passenger side rear door, but the overall structure remains solid.
