1962 Cadillac Coupe de VilleHighly optioned, unmolested, numbers matching, low mileage survivor with power bucket seats, A/C, cruise control..... every option available in 1962.I've owned a handful of Cadillacs over the years and this one is by far the cleanest and unaltered of them all. Purchased it from an elderly woman in Beverly Hills who was absolutely methodical about the maintenance and preservation of this car.The first thing I noticed were the factory bucket seats. Soon after, I realized this Coupe may very well have every factory option available in 1962. From factory cruise control to power wing windows, this Caddy is rare. To top it off, it's never been tampered with. We've all seen those classics that have changed hands too many times and it only takes one knucklehead to screw up an original classic car.Tell-tale signs of a true survivor are present in the steering wheel and brake pedal. Look closely at the brake pedal to notice the minimal wear. Also, pay close attention to the steering wheel to recognize the absence of any cracking or fading. The dash is another sign of this car being garage kept. It's absolutely perfect. It is not brittle like most I've seen. All of the bright work and stainless is in excellent condition.The seats are in great condition considering their age. The driver's seat is the only portion of the interior that has begun to show aging. It's not ripped, however, one may choose to re-upholster the bottom insert. This Cadillac retains it's original factory seatbelts. The headliner is in perfect condition. The carpet has been replaced, yet the original floormats with the correct Cadillac crest are present. The trunk has all the original panels, trunk mat, spare tire and bumper jack. It's dry and free from any rust.Mechanically, this Caddy is solid. It drives smooth and handles like new. There is absolutely no slop or play in the steering wheel. There are no vibrations, nor does it pull or drift. The motor runs and idles smooth without any issues. These 390 motors are notorious for exhaust leaks and this one does not leak. There is a small oil leak, but if you know classics, nearly all of them develop a leak at some point.Now for the good stuff:Engine/Drivetrain:390 cu. in.Three-speed Hydra-Matic transmission56,277 actual original milesWheels/Suspension:1962 stock hubcaps (mint condition)New radial tiresOriginal spare in the trunkBody/Paint:Two stage original black (refinished 2016)Wet sanded and polished to a mirror finishBody panel lines and gaps are perfect (remember, it's never been disassembled) Rust free California carAgain...rust free! zero rust!Interior:Bucket seats (rare!)Rear center arm restOriginal radio in dashAftermarket stereo unit (can easily be removed) Aftermarket speakers (can easily be removed) Factory Options:Bucket seatsPower seatsPower windowsPower door locksRemote control outside rear view mirrorCruise controlAutomatic trunk releaseAutomatic headlight dimmer (autronic eye on dashboard)Tinted glassVanity mirrorFender skirts Fog lampsHeater and defrosterRear window defrosterDual speed wipers Front cornering lampsIt's not every day a true, early 60's survivor becomes available.

No, there is absolutely no rust in this car. It has been well cared for and it's evident throughout the car. Yes, all the controls and settings for the A/C and heater work, yet the A/C unit will need a fresh charge of R12. It's difficult to find here in CA., thus I have not done so. Another option is that it can be converted over to R134. Otherwise, the heater will melt your eyeballs. That chrome vent in the carpet between both bucket seats (on top of transmission tunnel) is a vent only present in this car due do it's bucket seat option. Yes, it blows air towards the rear passengers. How cool is that??? On Apr-26-17 at 10:32:47 PDT, seller added the following information: UPDATE 04/26/2017: Question has been asked about the glass. Answer: All the glass is in excellent condition (no bubbling, cracks or chips). Even the windshield does not have the typical stone chips we've all seen when looking into the sunlight. I'm truly amazed it doesn't have those small road chips. Even the rubber around the front and back glass is in great shape. It's not brittle or cracked at all. I replaced all the drip rail and quarter glass rubber in March 2017. The chrome window frames are not pitted at all. I've also added three new photos at the end depicting the deep wet shine of the black paint.On Apr-28-17 at 22:36:25 PDT, seller added the following information: UPDATE: 4-28As you can see, I've decided to lower the reserve. Remember, this Cadillac is an investment grade vehicle with extremely low mileage for it's age. That low mileage is seen throughout the car from the interior, trunk, engine bay and straight body panels. You'll be hard pressed to find another triple black early '60s Cadddy with bucket seats, A/C, cruise control, power wing windows, vacuum trunk release along with all the other options. Again, it is a rust free CA car that is completely stock.
