1966 Cadillac Deville convertible DONT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS IN HAND, apparently some people who use ebay arent smart enough to understand the rules. So if you have under 10 feedbacks, Ill be emailing you if you bid to make sure you are legit, if we do please reply or we are forced to cancel your bid. Up for Auction: SUPER LOW FAIR RESERVE !!! Series 62 These cars are getting harder to find esp in this condition thats still affordable to most buyers. Make sure you check out all the pics after the description below ! This 66 Caddy convertible has aprox 102,000 original miles. Az title shows Box A and history told to us by recent owners confirms the car was used often but never driven far. It runs really well and fun to drive just the way it is. Thats not to say it doesnt need resto and repairs, but you can simply drive it as is around town and fix it up as when you have the extra time and money. Chances are, youve seen the movie Goodfellas or Casino watch how many of these cars are used and driven by gentlemen who had great taste, esp in cars. It was either a Lincoln or Caddy. Another good movie to see these cars in for the period is, A Bronx Tail. Car starts easily and choke works too. It really idles great and engine is very smooth at idle and while you are cruising it around. 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 has lived most of its life in either CA or AZ so luckily it has minimal rust thru-out, some of the chrome did get a little beat up from the CA air, but please check out all the pics below. DRIVETRAIN: the original motor runs and sounds good. The 370hp 429 V8 4v matted to the 2 spd auto, both run and feel great. I do suspect a small fluid leak under the car some where because I can smell something when sitting at a light. But I cant see any smoke when driving, I even had a friend follow me driving around a few miles the other night and they never saw any smoke coming from under the car or the exhaust, which is a good sign. All the AC stuff is still under the hood, but its not been charged for several yrs. The carb was rebuilt a few yrs ago and the car does have stuff like PS and PB like you would expect from a Caddy. INTERIOR: originally this interior was black leather with lots of chrome and stainless trim. Its really showing its age and will need some restoration here. As is, Ive been driving it around night and day with no issues, even the am/fm factory radio works. The carpet is NEW, but thats about it. All the PWs work, but some of the switches need cleaning. Power top does work too, but the dr side ram or line has a small leak. The steering column inside feels like some bolts are loose because it moves more then it should. Probably part of the tilt stuff inside. Its not horrible, but is noticeable and needs to be looked at too. The blinker switch in the steering column also needs to be fixed. It seems very complete as least, so you shouldnt have to hunt down alot of parts, but its needs resto. Here is where I alot of the chrome trim has some pitting. I got a quote locally to redo the front seat in vinyl to replicate something like factory in black for $800 aprox. So if you win the car and want me to take care of it before we ship it, we can do it. Of course the winner will pay for it, not us. We are treating it like a service. EXTERIOR: Original color was Starlight Silver, an awesome color for this car and should be taken back to that color. Back in the 80s before clear coat, the car was pained the blue you see now. Which is really faded as you can see. The trunk lid was replaced yrs ago after a dent was produced by a falling pole. It was just easier to bolt on a good used lid back when they where readily available. The Convertible top isnt new, but the back window and top are in pretty nice shape for and where replaced about 8 yrs ago. Some minor trim pieces are missing and the chromes not as nice as it could be on the bumpers, but again for a driver, its fine. All the headlights and tails work fine. The dr side rear 1/4 had a small crease in it from backing it in too close to another car, hence the primer spot. During the last paint job about 25 yrs ago, some repaires to the rear lower 1/4s was done and they may want to be redone during the next restoration. Other areas of the car are in much better original sheetmetal condition. SUSPENSION: all factory the best I can tell, although it would look great lowered about 2" :) I do know that some bushings where replaced by the previous owner in the last 5 yrs and it aligned fine. Some other parts where close to needing replaced, but not totally worn yet. Again it did take an alignment which is a good sign. I think the shocks where also replaced with HD gas shocks. While driving around the suspension really does feel solid and predictable. The steering wheel was off center a bit but thats all I could report. 2 of the tires are pretty new, and the other 2 are about 10 yrs old. Decent tread but getting a little dry rot. Its not a restored car by any means, but being as old as it is it may need some more suspension work if checked out by a shop. I took some corners in this car like I do in my Subaru and was surprised how well this car handles for as huge as it is. Personally Id have no problem with driving it as is everyday. Leave it stock or put some 22" wheels on it with some wide whites ? 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 scroll 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 . Restore a car like this yourself or locally and you know exactly what you have in the end. 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. We show you as much feasibly possible via pics. 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.
