Cadillac DeVille (1962)
for sale

Price: US $200.00

Description:

You are looking at a SUPER SOLID, VERY ORIGINAL, 1962 Cadillac Coupe DeVille with those beautiful lines and iconic fins. The body is very straight with no major issues, Car was repainted the original Newport Blue color before I bought it 10 years ago. I believe the 390 CI V8 (advertised at 325 hp) and GM Hydra-Matic automatic transmission are the original numbers-matching units for this car, nothing looks to have ever been messed with mechanically. The odometer shows 37K miles but does not work (speedometer works however) so actual mileage is unknown. The car runs, drives and stops very well and most items still work on the car. Within the past 6 months the car has had a tune-up (plugs, oil, filters), new belts, master cylinder, brake hoses, and wheel cylinders. One tire is new, the others are 70% tread. Options include. . . power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, power seat, power windows, power antenna and wheel covers. The car is a 20-footer and is not a show car, but is perfect for cruise nights and needs nothing to enjoy immediately.
The Body looks to be all original with no major damage or body work performed. She is very solid and straight with the repaint that's nice still with good shine. No rust bubbles at all on the body or around windows. There are a few chips in the paint here and there since it has been driven and enjoyed. The trunk is extremely solid with no signs of rust. The condition of the chrome and bright work is good to nice original condition. Most stainless just needs polishing and buffing. The chrome is not pitted but is weathered and will need to be rechromed if you want it perfect. Bumpers are nice and straight except for the dent in the rear as seen in the pics. The glass is in great condition with the only issue being the vent windows showing some bubbling from age. The weatherstripping appears to be original and is in pretty good condition.
The Interior in very good condition. Seats and door panels (cloth and leather) are very nice and soft. Dash and dash pad are nice, lower dash paint is worn somewhat. Headliner is in great shape. Everything works on the dash except gas gauge, temp gauge, odometer, radio and ac (compressor actually turns on but does not blow cold). The power windows do operate but not the power seat. The steering wheel is in great condition! Lights, turn signals work fine. Kick panels are worn and have been removed and are in the trunk. Original trunk liner is dirty but is still there indicating how well cared for this car has been.
The Drivetrain appears to be original. The 390 4-barrel V8 starts and runs great...the car idles, drives, and shifts without issues. Power brakes and steering both work great without issues.
The Undercarriage is in nice condition too. The floor pans and frame are original and in good condition. Newer exhaust is in excellent shape and sounds just right!! New radial tires were installed recently. Spare tire in trunk.
Very much a turn-key Caddy that is perfect for cruise nights and local shows -- it's a lot of fun for the money and the value of this classic will never go down. Or turn it into a show winner or cool custom with very little effort.
