Vehicle Detail
A true survivor! Very strong 1962 Cadillac Coupe DeVille 2 door. I am the 3rd owner and this car has always been in Northern California. Had the car sorted a few years ago by a respected mechanic. All records available documenting work. Clear California title good through sept. 2015. The Good: New Motor Mountsrebuilt carbcompletely rebuilt radiatornew brake hosesnew water pumpnew batterynew fuel pumpnew plugsnew distributornew bushings and tie rods/struts/ball jointsnew electronic ignitionaftermarket cd player under dash w/ strong speakers laid into back panel above the back seats (purists might not like this but cranking up your favorite music in this car is a necessity!!) Not hard to remove. I had a small bit of rust removed from one rocker and the back window removed (typical trouble spot) and a tiny but of rust removed from back window well. Og window reinstalled with new gasket seal. Strong, clean interior considering the age.. Couple of cracks in the dash. Brakes and tires have tons of life left. I only take the car for a short zip on the freeway once a week and turn the engine and warm it midweek. The bad: light surface rust on the underside of the trunk doorrear chrome bumper has some light crust which I couldn't remove with steel woolsome rust on the chrome window where driver side window goes up and downpower seats and a/c are currently inoperable (i don't need a/c in northern california so did not address this) This car sits right in the middle between a junker and a showcar on the spectrum. It runs strong and looks great but could use a little tlc to really take it up the next notch or two. Even if you did not do any additional work, you would have a strong and attractive 62 caddy in the much preferred 2 door style. I am personally drawn to the hardtops and this car is a pleasure to drive. Feel free to contact me with any questions or for addt'l photos. The sale price is well below what I have put into the car. Thanks for taking a look.
