RARE 1957 CADILLAC CONVERTIBLE Hello Cadillac collectors & collectors of cars with BIG FINS! Here we have a rare original 1957 Cadillac model 62 Convertible. It is a loaded car with just about every option. All Cadillac's were expensive cars in their day. MUST SELL NOW! THESE 1950'S CONVERTIBLES ARE BRINGING OVER $100,000 restored and as much as $150,000 to $200,000 for the best examples! People are finding Classic cars to be good long term investments. With 14 years on ebay and 100% positive feedback you can buy with confidence that my description is fair and my price is a very good buy! Whenever I have sold a car from my collection , I have never had to relist, it ALWAYS SELLS! Because I am fair and realistic! All of my cars are going to be sold now. High bidder will win this nice 1957 Caddy, I have a reserve but it is very low for such a car, it is just a little protection in case all of the good buyers are on vacation!!! Why do you want THIS car??? Because it has an ORIGINAL interior, original color nice paint, 55 years old and in nice shape, solid driver condition overall, with numerous flaws but still beautiful overall (in my opinion) AND I am letting it go at a great price! The car was running well when we bought it but we sent to our family mechanic for a full going over, we spent well over $10,000 doing whatever he found to be needing (over a period of 3 years) including new exhuast system, brakes, carb rebuild, starter rebuild, generator, radiator, front end, shocks, power antenna, and so many other parts. THIS CAR WAS SOAKED in the recent Hurricane and was then sent back to our family mechanic to go over and rebuild just about anything that needed redoing! He had rebuilt many components and has fixed most issues and changed all fluids and removed & flushed gas tank, the car runs well with the rebuilt carburator , new top motor, window motors,and many other rebuilt parts and switches. Cars runs and drives, windows are working, lights and directional's are all working, most everything is working fine as it was! The new carpet (is in the box) and will be installed IF time allows, the car has really solid floors which are completely undercoated top & bottom! The transmisson has always dripped a bit and still needs front and rear seals, I never minded and just put a piece of cardboard down to catch any drips. The car has been very reliable overall and was great on highway drives. The mechanic is in his mid-70's and we are not going to torture him with things that are not necessary now and will cause him aches and pains! So, You will need to change some things like gas guage, seat motor, ETC! The mechanic has done what was most important, but as always with classic cars, you'll need to do more! Since I have decided to sell my collection, I told him to do most everything that he was willing to do,but I'm not worried about every single thing. It starts on the first try and runs very well, it has the original engine GM's largest V8 ! It was appointed with the best of everything, The seats & door panels are nice and original, Nice wide whitewall tires. Nice recent (about 6 mos. ago) original factory color paint with a nice mirror shine overall. We chose this car because it is a RARE Convertible model and you can NOT find many of them that are this solid, original and complete!. As a Cadillac, it is loaded with just about all of the options! It will make someone a very fine driver. Includes owners manual , accessories manual and shop manual as well as some other paper items. and extra parts. I am parting with my collection and have priced it to be a fine buy, I have 100% positive feedback and 100% sales, I have never had to relist a car from my collection over the 14 years on ebay because I have chosen fine cars and bought them carefully, thus a good buy for the next collector or dealer as well! Not to mention all of the improvements that I have had done over the past 4 years on this beauty! As always, I hereby sell this 1957 Cadillac model 62 Convertible AS IS, WHERE IS, I DO recommend that you send someone to inspect it in person if possible, It is a 55 year old car and thus will have flaws, things to fix and imperfections. You can email me with any questions and if wish to speak by phone I will provide my tele#. PLEASE make sure that you have ALL FUNDS READY TO BUY THE CAR BEFORE YOUR BID AND THAT you can arrange to have it picked up as soon as possible, I NO LONGER HAVE GARAGE SPACE FOR IT Hopefully you will pick it up within a week or two or arrange on USHIP.COM if you need it delivered to PORT in NJ for OVERSEAS/ EUROPEAN BUYERS or within a few hundred miles I will likely have a fellow that I can recommend for quick delivery. Vehicle must be paid in FULL within 7 days, NON_REFUNDABLE deposit within 24 hours via Paypal I have 4 years invested and so many tens of thousands into this 1957 Cadillc convertible and I am selling it at certainly below market price to make it a quick sale and you must pick it up quickly too please! In my opinion, I'd say that it is a $35,000 or $40,000 driver and not a $50,000-$75,000 show car. They can be over $100,000 when restored to Concours level. These Cadillac convertible are good investment cars and certainly enjoyable to own, I have enjoyed driving this car and I certainly think that it is beautiful!PLEASE BE 100% SURE THAT YOU WANT THE CAR BEFORE YOU BID or BUY IT NOW!. THANK YOU!!! On Jan-02-13 at 21:26:39 PST, seller added the following information: Hello, it does not have A/C or cruise control for some reason I thought it did, but it does have the Autronic eye and many other options, but you don't really need A/C in a convertible with vent windows!!! RECENTLY Rebuilt carb, rebuilt starter, rebuilt generator, window motors, switches, etc etc, etc,Top has a new motor! I have spent tens of thousands over the past 4 years to make a beautiful driver which I certainly think it is! Most people think it is beautiful. Not Concours, just a nice looking driver you can be proud to take to any car show. I have priced it very low so that we will have a quick sale; and you'll need to pick it up quickly too! I am selling the convertible at the price of a clean coupe! I watch ebay often....Other sellers these days would list it at $39,000 or $45,000 and then keep listing it until it sells. I would rather take less and not waste time, I am too busy to wait for a higher price. "ONE IN THE HAND IS BETTER THAN TWO IN THE BUSH! THIS is why I have 100% sold and 100% positive feedback because I am fair to deal with, all the buyers of previous cars from my collection have been happy. I purposely price it to be a great buy and for less money than anyone else would sell it for, so I must be doing things right after more than 12 years on ebay! You can buy with confidence, just please be realistic in your expectations. If you are sure that you want the car the Please do click the BUY IT NOW so that you do not risk losing it to those last second bids! Happy New Year & Thank you for your bids!
