Normal 0 This is one of 30 vehicles being sold from an estate auction. More info is available at www.houseofmouseracing.com. This is a court-mandated auction to which terms must be strictly adhered. Please read terms and estate auction description carefully. A bid on this auction will serve as acknowledgement that these terms have been reviewed and are understood. No auctions will be ended early or sidestepped. No side deals or trades. (Please don’t ask – I won’t respond.) You are bidding on a 1,236 original mile, original-owner (bought new March 28, 1964) 1964 Cadillac Sedan Deville, Model number 6339 (4-Door, 4-Window Model). This car is a time capsule that was left to sit in the owner’s garage since 1968. The car is all original from the black paint to the white interior down to the original tires. The body is straight, the stainless steel is awesome, and the interior looks new without wear. Even the driver’s seat belt still has the factory plastic on it. The ash trays are still shiny like they were made yesterday. The dash and seats have no wear and are soft like the day it was manufactured. Most electrical devices work that I could test like the clock, interior lights, headlights, trunk light, and armrest lights. All the power windows and power vent windows operate fast and smooth like they would from the factory. Even the undercarriage fasteners still have the factory coatings such as the body mount bolts that still have the factory zinc coating. The body is straight without any door dings - even the body line molding is great. The glass is great. The weatherstripping is nice and soft. This car is equipped with power steering, power brakes, power windows, power vent window, AC, trunk release and power locks. Looks like the original spare with original jack parts and instruction manual. Now here’s the bad part. The car does have some issues!! Please read the following. Unfortunately, the Caddy has been sitting all these years with a leaky garage roof that dripped water on the driver side front. Because of this there is heavy rust on several areas of the hood and driver side fender. The rust has not gone through the hood but it’s deep. The fender does have a rust hole where the body molding was punched through. Also the bottom 1” lip that is formed over to accept the bottom fastener has rusted away. The body will need to be completely stripped and repainted as there are minor specs of rust over many areas of the car. The engine and items under the hood are rusty along with the undercarriage of the car on that front corner. The bumpers will need to be rechromed. The more you move away from the damp area the nicer the body and undercarriage become. The 429 ci engine will not spin. Most likely the rings have frozen to the cylinder walls. I have removed the spark plugs, soaked each cylinder with WD-40 and PB Blaster with no luck. With the garage being damp the interior also has some minor issues. The worst is the smell - like a damp basement. The second issue is some light mold on the seats. I have not touched the interior so as not to stain any of the fabrics. It should clean up nicely with professional tools and cleaners. This car was just pulled out of 40+ years storage on 5/23/10 and the windows have been down most of the time so most of the heavy smell has gone away. The floors are solid. The undercarriage has light rust on many of the parts mainly towards the front. It is driver quality at best in it present shape but could be restored to show or museum condition since it is all original. There are no records of its history and the owner is deceased. What’s listed above is the only information available, which comes from my observations and the original title. I can’t guarantee any or all of what’s listed. Please ask questions before you bid. I would highly suggest coming out to view the car if you plan to bid as there are NO RETURNS. The car does roll. There is one set of keys and a clean Ohio title. Due to space limitations and subsequent auction listings, the car must be paid for and picked up with in 7 days unless both parties agree on other arrangements. If the terms of this auction are not adhered to, the car will be immediately relisted. If you are requesting additional pictures please send me your email address. Ebay will not let me add any more pictures to the ad. Estate Auction Description This vehicle is part of a group of 30 (mostly collector) vehicles being sold in an estate auction.
