Vehicle Detail

Relisted! Low mileage 54K! NEEDS RESTORATION. Up for sale our running, driving 1968 Cadillac DeVille Convertible. Runs flawlessly even on old gas once started. No knocks, smoking runs smooth and quiet and has a brand new battery. Power brakes with good pedal though pulls slightly to right on heavy braking. I've had the car for 15 years and in that time only put 3k miles on it. 3rd owner. Previously was a weekend, summer car but sadly had always been kept outdoors thus the deteriorated state. ALL chrome needs replacement/ replating but all there. One repaint was originally a mint green with a black top. Some bondo at the bottom of the front fenders, doors and quarter panels. Rust and bubbling has returned to these areas and in addition will need rear floor pans to be patched or replaced and trunk floor has rust but may be salvageable with some Por 15 and patching. Frame and front floors are rock solid/intact. Convertible top was replaced in 2000 when it was repainted and is still in good shape requiring only stitching around the back glass window to preserve. Top goes up and down with ease. 3 of the 4 original T3 headlights. Lights, signals brakes and horn all working dash lights not working more than likely the headlight switch. Factory radio powers on but no sound. Interior leather dried and splitting but all there. Dash in good shape. Never altered or hacked. Front seat bench bottom recovered at some point prior to ownership and power seat works in all positions with some sagging on drivers side. Missing one of the wiper arms. Heater fan non functional but heat works. Wipers don't work though wiper motor may just be frozen from non use. Power windows require some tinkering and right rear window needs a new motor. Tires are old but hold air. Local buyers are encouraged to take a look. Delivery possible and will drive car to you within a reasonable distance up to 200 miles but only once payment is received in full. The car will run fine once started however after a day or so of sitting the gas line to the carb. goes empty and requires priming could be a fuel pump or carb. accelerator pump ? I'm able to start it quickly priming the line but this may present a problem with transporter if you are shipping. All others buyers we are convenient to major highways and will work with buyer's shipping but shipping cost is your responsibility and would require either a flatbed or car dolly and NOT a transporter unless they can deal with the quirk as described before.. I have bought and sold several cars on Ebay with 100 percent feedback and we have several old cars but I'm no used car dealer so of course the car is as-is. Please feel free to email any questions or set up a time to look at in person if you are close by. Be advised this car NEEDS RESTORATION but is a good running and driving car that with some work can return your investment and then some. Be sure to view the pics and read the ad closely. Do not back out of the transaction after the fact as other buyers have done without even SEEING the car first. Please do not bid if you aren't up to the project or have second thoughts after bidding or think you are going to hop in and drive cross country unless you're willing to do some minor repair and replace the tires before hitting the road. Email any questions and DO NOT bid if you don't intend to purchase the car or ask questions after winning the auction. Everything known about the car is clearly described above and I probably made the car sound a lot worse than it is but I want bidders to be clear on what they are getting. The pics of the car are from this month and I have a few others or can take more shots if there is something specific you'd like to see. Clear title in hand. Again NO RESERVE and a worthwhile project definitely a good value! Thanks for stopping and good luck!
