| Unrestored original 1962 Cadillac Fleetwood. This is a rare 60 Special sedan, the one between the standard Sedan DeVille and the Limousine. This is one BIG Caddy!I never, ever thought I would sell it, but massive expenses from a difficult pregnancy force a reluctant sale.Ebay does not recognize VIN numbers older than 1981; the Caddy's ID is: 62M096167I have owned it since 2011, purchased it from a local man in Livermore valley who had previously inherited from a widowed lady relative of his. She was the original owner, and purchased new from Rector Cadillac in Burlingame ( now a Porsche-Audi dealership). As he had no real interest in it ( and I had been looking for a fintailed Caddy for years), I brought it home with me. It is an original super 60 Special, the BIG one, with uber-cool fins, NON-post windows, massive grille and lots of chrome. and it has ALWAYS been black. I would surmise it has been refinished once in the last 60 years at least. The finish was actually quite nice when I purchased it, but weathering from sitting at home while I've been deployed has made it look dull. I would suggest a nice clean repaint, with minimal bodywork required. It would look amazing.It has been a slow restoration, as I have literally been deployed more than time to fix it up and drive it. I have spent a serious amount of money having the interior redone ( dusty on the photos, but it is in EXCELLENT shape). I had the seats reupholstered in old lined pattern, the headliner redone, the visors redone, the dash recovered ( and a cover fabricated for it as well), the rear filler panel redone, door inserts, kick panels and a new carpet installed. MINT beautifully done dashboard, plus a protective mat.The powertrain is in great shape. Low miles on its original untouched 390 CID stock engine with the original Rochester QuadraJet 4V carburetor. It runs GREAT ( just put a new set of plugs and changed the oil and flushed the radiator), with ZERO overheating issues, noises or knocks. Only maintenance had been a remanufactured radiator, a new TRW water pump along with a new battery. It has literally required NOTHING. Automatic transmission shifts well into all gears, super smoothly. This is an A/C equipped car, but I never recharged it. It does have Power windows ( with super cool REAR wing windows, also electric), Power seats and Power antenna. I had put new tires, struts and brakes in 2013 before I went to AFG. Less than 5K miles on the tires. It had a new battery put on then, but it went bad from sitting, so I just put in another one, a nice INTERSTATE heavy-duty battery.Super cool, ultra-classic car that will guaranteed turn heads ( always did), with a little TLC and some minor elbow grease. Regretfully, with my new son, it really seems an unlikely endeavor for me. Thus, I would rather give it to someone who will restore and display in its former glory, and enjoy it more than I. RUST FREE chassis, floorboards, doors, door sills, wheelwells, trunk floor and pretty much everywhere. There is a small spot of corrosion on the right front corner of the hood as I have pictured, and a tiny spot on the right rear lower window moulding. Besides that, this Caddy is ROCK SOLID, reflecting its dry California life. This Cadillac has original California black plates from 1962! along with a clear California title, in MY NAME. It has been registered to me since 2012. I will be glad to assist coordinating shipping of this Classic anywhere nationwide or overseas, at the most economical shipping rate available.
