1967 Cadillac Deville convertible Up for Auction: SUPER LOW FAIR RESERVE !!! This 67 Caddy convertible has had the same owner since 1967 when he bought it with 4000 miles on it. It was originally sold new in Flint Michigan where from the factory it was undercoated and only went thru 2 Michigan winters, but even then it wasnt driven in the winter snow. In 1969 the owner moved to Tucson and the car has been here ever since. Its been parked in a carport for about the last 15 yrs rarely driven due to owners age etc. His wife drove it most of the time when it was driven anyways. Next time you watch the movie Goodfellas or Casino watch how many of these cars are driven by gentlemen who knew cars knew what to drive. Another good movie to see these cars in for the period is A Bronx Tail. Car starts and runs, but it does idle rough. We rebuilt the carb and after removing any old gas in the tank and lines but not sure exactly why it runs like it does. I can start it and drive it around the parking lot and it would drive possibly drive onto a car hauler. problem. I may do a mild tune up on it this week to see if we can get it to run better. If its not carb or std tune up stuff, I guess its possible it jumped timing a tooth causing the issue. Its possible, the original owner couldnt recall if he had ever done the timing chain. Check back later in the week we will add to the cars description on if we got it running better. No smoke from the exhaust at least and no major leaks under the car. The fuel tank may need to be dropped and flushed out one good time too. But seeing as the car runs and moves on its own, this makes shipping much easier and less costly. At the moment we have it running off a small container of gas under the hood. If I have time Ill try to empty the tank and try to get it running off the rear tank. RESTORE it back to stock or do something along the restomod way, or rat rod and have an awesome 1 of a kind car your friends only wished they had for such a low investment. This car is much more solid then the last 67 we sold. The only spots we can find real rust is both lower front fenders, which is a pretty common spot even on AZ cars. But check out all the pics, the trunk floors etc are very solid and clean other then a little surface rust. Check out the pics. These cars are getting harder to find esp in this shape which is still affordable for the builder. DRIVETRAIN: the original motor runs and sounds good. Last yr for the 429 V8 4v matted to the 3 spd auto. Motor does have all the AC stuff including PS, PB and more. Its a very nice area that would restore with a little work. Maybe just finish the tune up stuff after that and should be able to drive it. Well check all the brakes too. But it stops right now, pedal feels good but the booster may be going bad. INTERIOR: All original blue interior shows some wear and tear for a car with 96k on it, but even for AZ its nicer then most out there. Obviously its not restored and as is the interior is fine for a daily driver. Take it to the next level with a new top, carpet and redo the front seats for a really clean cruiser. The chrome inside here too is in amazing shape for its age. No pitting I could see because of the Az climate. All the PW currently work and go up and down, they are slow so may need some lubrication on the regulators and tracks. PS works well too. The dash is very clean and represents well for a weekend cruiser or driver. Radio should work, but think the speaker is shot. Again, all 4 PW go up and down, but they probably could use some grease on the tracks etc. POWER TOP has worked fine every time Ive put it up and down so nothing bad to report there. EXTERIOR: Original color is the Blue you see in the pics. The car has alot of patina and showing its age in areas and is even down to the original primer and metal in a few spots. I dont see any signs of bondo anywhere on the car. Front windshield has a crack in it from age and the dr side side view mirror is cracked too. The "missing" front lower bumper grill comes with the car its loose in the trunk. Hood hinges are bent, someone tried to close the hood after some blocks of wood holding on a car cover slid down the windshield and they didnt notice. Hence the reason they bent the hinges. They are available used all over the bay. SUSPENSION: all factory the best I can tell and Im sure some bushings are old and shocks, but again this stuff is easy to fix these days then rusted out bodies. Leave it stock or put some 22" wheels on it. Check out ALL the pics below -----> it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra schroll bar on the right side. Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate. more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics. There you have it, probably The BEST represented Converts on Ebay. Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them. We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows. People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end. Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days speaks volumes. Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating. People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers. Our auctions have NOTHING to hide .

Email us with ANY questions before you bid please If you treat yourself to buying one of our vehicles youll never buy a total rust bucket again from anyone !! Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself. Doing restoration on this type of project is less labor intensive which means overall cost is less too ! With less horrid surprises later on. Dont let auctions with little to no pics try to fool you. With other auctions, you really dont know what to expect until you take the car apart.
