Car description |
---|
probably one of the most desirable cars being restored and fixed upin the last few yrs, nd one of the best yr looking Caddys ever made..this is one car I really hate to sell. But if we do we do.MOVIE CAR: these cars are used alot in movies like GOODFELLASor A BRONX TALE and look great on the big screen. I recently watchedthe movie Jersey Boys, nd each of the 4 Seasons looked like theyeach had their own Caddy convertible same yr as this one.Its always been an car thats shown signs of class and wealthand still is today, f not more so.Dont want to wait till auction ends ??email me I can do a Buy It Nowprice for you if you want, ust have to work out a fairprice.BRIEF DESCRIPTION:17,600 built over 50 yrs ago. here is an un-restored survivor.How many are left on the streets ? less then 1000 maybe ? hard to say.From what Ive gathered online, spen white with Red Leather interioris actually a pretty rare combo. Whether it stays that way in its futureis hard to say. THIS IS NOT A RESTORED car, ut a fun car to hop in anddrive to the store or whatever.
Its an 63 Caddy that was originally sold back East, ut has spent about 70%of its life here in the SW AZ desert. It looks okay in the pics, ut the paintjob was a pretty cheap job done about 15 yrs ago and you can tell inperson. AZ sun has been pretty hard on the Leather interior. It couldbe a daily driver, hen we got it I drove it home at night on about a10 mile trip across town with no issues.
Its fun to cruise around in and attracts all sorts of attention, he interiorhas much sun damage as does the ragtop is in bad shape. The mechanicalpart of the convertible top wants to work, he motor runs, ut the systemis low on fluid and needs help going up and down.IF you put a little money into the interior and new top it would almostbe done for a nice nice driver. These cars are bringing in over $25krestored and this car doesnt need that much work.Also, he RF fender was replaced with another original white fenderabout 10 yrs ago, o if you look close, oull see the paint doesnt match verywell, ut its close. Its a FUN beautiful car as is in my eyes and has alotof potential for whatever your plans would be.
DONT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS IN HAND, pparently some peoplewho use ebay arent smart enough to understand the rules.So if you have under 10 feedbacks, ll be emailing you if you bid tomake sure you are legit, f we do please reply or we will cancel your bid.Up for Auction: LOW FAIR RESERVE !!!These cars are getting harder to find esp in this conditionthat are still affordable to most buyers.
DRIVETRAIN: this car has its factory 390 big block V8 and the motorruns and drives nice. Transmission feels good too, lthough there is a smalltrans fluid leak. I top it off every few weeks. I believe some motor work wasdone about 10 yrs ago on the car, ut the car hasnt been driven much eitherin the last 20 yrs. It was pulled out of retirement a few months ago and maderoad worthy again. Gas tank cleaned out, ome brake work done too.The carb was replaced with an Edelbrock 4v carb and it runs great as is, utthe car still comes with the original Q-jet loose in the trunk with the factoryair cleaner too. PS feels good and normal too, ut one of the PS lines too hasa small leak.
INTERIOR: take a look at the pics, he interior of this car is pretty wellworn out and probably the first thing you would want to repair. It seemsvery complete and the chrome isnt too bad of shape. I think with help Ican get all 4 PW up and down, ut they will probably need some work theretoo. The power seat motors make noise when you hit the button but theseat doesnt move. Interior courtesy lights not working at the momenteither. Has a Very Rare AM/FM radio too, hich isnt working, o not sureif its just a bad speaker or what. LOTS of chrome inside these cars andeven for this cars condition, ts pretty nice looking .At least if you redo the interior backto RED, hat leaves you the opportunity to paint the outside of the carSILVER, ED, HITE or BLACK . (or yes, emi flat black, hich is prettyPopular these days). So the interiors needs alot of work, ut guess it dependson how you look at it. Floors seem very solid, hen you look at the picsfrom under the car, t did get some rust. So some metal work there will beneeded, ut still far less then most of these cars that are not restored.Seeing as this car has been in AZ for most of its life, t has less rust thenmost 50 yrs old cars, nd less rot.
EXTERIOR:the body and paint on this car in my opinion pretty nice butthe pics do make it look better if you ask me. Im also a little more pickythen some owners. Paint is an old cheap job and you can tell in person.From 20 ft away its okay. RF fender doesnt match, ut its close for now.Front windshield and side glass all in good shape. It needs a new convertibletop vinyl, nd it would be a good time to put a glass window in the backwhen you replace it in the future if the car sells. Bumpers and stainless trimin really nice shape for their age, inimal dents etc, ut the chrome finishis showing its age. Again, ooks good from about 20 ft. Spare tire and wheelis missing in the trunk, ut jack etc looks all intact. Front and rear lights allworking as do the blinkers too, aking it okay to drive at nite the way it is.
SUSPENSION:the suspension feels like a big tuna boat, ut really it stillrides like a Caddy and the tires are in decent shape too. No weird noises comingfrom the car while gliding down the road, ut Im sure its going to need somebushings replaced in the near future because its not restored and of its age.At least for now, ou can still hop in and drive it around town. Fix the PS leakand it will help too. Im going to degrease under the car this week.

This is NOT OUR MOST RUST FREE CAR we havesold over the years, ut its still better then most out there for saleor bondo-ed up to look restored.I DONT KNOW WHATS UNDER THIS OLD PAINT JOB, nd it may havehad some repair work done yrs ago, ts just too hard to tell.I can tell you though, f you look down the sides of this car on bothSides, dont see tons of waves running down the body like some carsthere are a few bubbles starting near the rocker areas though.So expect some rust on the car during repaint and some repairs overthe yrs. Its still so clean, f the car doesnt sell, m okay with that toobecause Id love to keep it its that nice.Also, f you buy a car thats been "restored", ho knows what sortof surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating.People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs arefast, or a quick buck and quality suffers.Email us with ANY questions before you bid pleaseOur Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself.
