Vehicle Detail
Well, I will probably regret doing this but an opportunity has come up and it is one of the few reasons I would ever consider selling my car. It's a 1963 Cadillac Sedan DeVille with a complete air ride setup, and it's currently my daily driver. The car runs and drives beautifully. It is mechanically perfect and I would not hesitate to drive it across the country. It has 84,000 miles on the odometer, based on the condition I'd say it has not rolled over. Plus, the car was stored for a long time and was only driven about 1000 miles from 1996 until 2012. I have receipts for the paint, interior, engine rebuild, and airbag install. Has original black license plates, and the tags are good until January 2014. The engine was rebuilt in 1998. Since it was sitting so long many of the seals developed leaks, so I removed the engine earlier this year to paint it and replace all the seals. This includes: front crank seal, water pump, water pump gasket, water pipe gaskets, oil filter tube gaskets, timing cover gasket, oil pan gasket, valve cover gaskets, and the intake & exhaust manifold gaskets. Has new distributor cap, rotor, plug wires, new fuel filter, spark plugs, water pump, new oil + oil filter, new coolant, freeze plugs, and new belts. Transmission shifts exactly how it would from the factory. You cannot even feel the 1-2 and 3-4 shifts. Brakes have been gone through and are working perfectly. Original 4-drum setup. Ridetech Adjustable Shockwaves installed in the front, with conventional bags on the rear. Electronic controller. Two 5-gallon tanks with two compressors. The controller, tanks, compressors, and valves are all from Air Ride Technologies. (www.ridetech.com) The body is in excellent condition. There are a few small rust areas but the frame is perfect and there is no structural rust. Has new metal floorboards. Interior is also in excellent shape, it was re-upholstered in the original color in 1998 and has held up very well. The dashboard has cracks but a color matched dash cover hides them. All gauges and backlights are working. Windshield wipers work perfectly at all speeds Has original radio (disconnected), and a JVC bluetooth/AUX headunit in the glovebox. Two amplified Infinity 6x9s in the rear shelf and one under the dash and a 12" Infinity subwoofer in the trunk with its own amplifier. The car does not have an A/C compressor or any of the A/C parts. Heater works pretty well. Optima Redtop battery with shutoff switch installed under the hood for storage. All power windows and vacuum locks work perfectly. There is one key for the ignition and doors, and another key for the trunk. Rubber is all in great shape, the car is watertight in the rain. Headlights have been upgraded with H4 low beam and H1 highbeam housings with 4300k (white) HIDs. I will include halogen bulbs as well. This is a perfect daily driver with NO immediate needs. The only issue with the car is a small transmission leak coming from the selector shaft seal. It's the only transmission seal I didn't replace, and now I am kicking myself, but oh well. I also have a complete set of spare glass (minus front windshield), as well as 98% of the chrome trim inside & out, spare starter, four spare window regulators and motors, spare shocks, kick panels, ash trays, glovebox, door handles inside & out, etc. All in decent condition. Oh and a spare stock transmission as well. You may call or text me anytime at 949-923-1662 with any questions or if you would like to see the car. I will probably hate myself the second I watch it drive away but my short attention span and reckless spending habits have gotten the best of me.
