Vehicle Detail
SquareTrade © AP6.0"Sleeping Beauty" Removed from storage just a short time ago. Purchased last years from an older gentleman who's wife had recently passed and was ready to let it go. Amazing vehicle! Super Smooth Ride, Shows 36k miles, Brand new white wall tires, Brand New 850 crank battery with three year warranty, Power seats and windows. Original everything including AM radio that works and sound fantastic! Even the power antenna works! Flaws: A couple of the triangular vent windows which are electric need a little help opening and closing. Body is very straight and paint looks fine. I wouldn't paint it again just yet. Has working air conditioner clutch and compressor, but currently the bower motor will not turn on (might be blower motor or switch - haven't even looked at it yet.) Just purchased an original 1964 (still in the box) muffler that I found on eBay for this big block 427, but personally, I'd rather not install it, I like the way it sounds as a straight through exhaust. New original 1964 muffler in box is included. Install it if you'd like. Interior is wonderful for a 48 year old classic. No tears in seats and headline looks perfect! Come and take a look for yourself. Some spots of surface rust and spotting located beneath on the trunk lid and rear right bottom of drivers side fender. Notorious front bumper, drivers side, beneath headlights has signs of previous repair due to standing water, a known and common issue on these late models. For some reason and this maybe normal, the power window switches on the drivers door only function when the door is shut. Is this standard? Or a bad ground? Cruise control works great, horn does not. All other mechanical and electrical features work as they should. Breaks, motor and transmission are sound. I took many images of vehicle posted on Flicker.com, for your review here...

Here is some technical information I found on the internet about this vehicle and have included for your review... (not responsible for errors) Engine & Chassis The advanced engineering and skilled craftsmanship behind the Cadillac motor car has been unique in the industry for more than sixty years. Many important mechanical features that have distinguished Cadillac for years are still to find their way into other cars. The great new Cadillac engine for 1964 - the most powerful in its history - is an outstanding example. So, too, are Hydra-Matic and the new Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Another Cadillac's exclusive True Center Drive Line which isolates and cancels normal driving sound and vibration and produces a smooth and quiet flow of power Triple Braking System, with separate front and rear brake systems, plus a true auxiliary parking-emergency brake. In addition, all four drums are finned for better cooling, smoother stops and longer brake life, and are self-adjusting. These unique features, and many more which your dealer will demonstrate, are your assurance that when you drive a Cadillac you are driving the Standard of the World. Standard power equipment on all models CADILLAC POWER STEERING . . . affords almost effortless parking, cornering and highway travel and retains a reassuring "feel of the road."
