This must be the ad you saw.  Here is the text,

a few pictures, and the all-important contact 

information copied from the ad:

"Hello, up for sale is grandpa’s 1969 Cadillac Coupe deville. This is a true survivor! 1 owner with only 45k miles! Been sitting for a few months now in storage, does start with some good jumpers cables and starting fluid. I’m assuming if has a fuel issue, so I recommend having it towed. Have the original Cadillac hubcaps along with the side skirt moldings….This car has never left the state of Florida. Solid car, good floors, good trunk, the only issue would be the hood as there is some minor surface rust as seen in picture. Have the original window sticker along with the title in hand. Asking price is $6500 or best cash offer. For more info call (321) 577-8-six hundred eight. Please no tire kickers, serious inquires only."

Note the rust holes prominently over the

headlights.  And the interior fabric does not

look correct.  For a prospective purchaser,

I think a different '69 Cadillac would be a better choice.

"Minor surface rust"  , says so in the ad.

I think you give good advice on this one.

The aftermarket horn button screwed into the dash is a nice bit as well.

Here's a more direct picture from the ad.

Well, maybe he meant, not "on the surface,"

but "through the surface!"

 I thought that was referring to the license plate...
