Vehicle Detail
Hello and Thank You for viewing my auction. Up for bids is a 1969 Convertible Cadillac. I purchased this vehicle to restore and when it arrived it was completely misrepresented and I am listing it here as a parts car. I do however have a title(1 owner). He filled in my information under the buyer section so if anyone is planning on fixing this car and would like a title there will be a $100.00 additional fee added to tthe highest bid so I can go and pay the taxes and get a title in my name that I could then transfer to you. Here is some interesting history on the vehicle. It was purchased new in Michigan and kept in the same family it's entire life. I have the original "cancelled" title for this vehicle and the current "2007" title for this vehicle. In 2007 the parents sold the vehicle to their son. This was a beautiful vehicle...a long time ago! A rare yellow with white top and white interior and a fully loaded car. I have the original bill of sale and a bunch of other paperwork for the vehicle that is yours if you want it as well. Now lets get to the vehicle... The interior is completely stripped other than a few wire harnesses and the steering column and some other behind the dash components. The floor pan was actually in decent condition with exception of underneath the rear seat where the water would puddle from the convertible top leaks. The front windshield still looks good. The convertible top frame was working perfectly until this morning when someone came over and purchased the convertible top pump. The header panel of the frame has some rust. These frames are worth a fortune especially a complete one like this(only missing the pump). People shorten,lengthen,widen and customize the frames to use on their custom chop top cars. Other than the hood and the trunk which are decent...the rest of the body is bad. Doors and rocker panels and lower front fenders(near doors) are actually not too bad. The rear quarters are bad. The frame is junk...has some spots rotting out. The car still starts and moves and stops and steers(complimentary pair of vice grips for a steering wheel). I did not want to sell off any of the drivetrain parts because I wanted to keep it running because this is the real value in this vehicle for someone looking for a hotrod,ratrod or custom drivetrain with power! Under the hood the items that are missing are the wiper motor assembly the horns,cruise control,air cleaner assembly,valve cover breather,coolant overflow bottle. Underneath the car the only thing gone is the fuel tank. There are no keys and I have it starting on the steering column or with 2 wires from starter. There is a small gas can to get it running to get it on a truck or trailer. The front seat is the spare tire and another tire for the backrest. The car only had 97,000 original miles and the engine sounds very healthy and was really taken care of. This pretty much sums it all up. You get a complete running 472 motor with transmission and rear end and all the brakes and hardware and all the suspension and so forth. You get a convertible top frame you can sell. A windshield you can sell. You get a few other parts you can take off to sell and when your done you can scrap the big heavy beast for a bunch of money! If you are planning on restoring it...hopefully you have a complete 69 or 70 2 door hard top sitting around that you could build a convertible out of...and you will also need a lot of money and a lot of patience! If you are looking to have an excuse to get out of the house to get away from your wife....this is the project for you. If you are looking to get divorced....this project may do this as well:) If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask. One question I get all the time is "will this car make it to my house in wherever?"...well we know the answer to that one with this car..... :) I guess it could be possible and you would probably become famous or in jail for a long time.... It would be all daylight driving...an umbrella...many gas cans...a lot of bungee cords and duct tape and ??? I will consider BUY IT NOW prices too. Happy Bidding!!
