1967 Cadillac DeVille Base Convertible 2-Door 7.0L One owner 52K miles

1967 Cadillac DeVille ConvertibleOne owner. low miles (52. 00) . National award winner
It is not very often when you can buy a quality vehicle that has remained with one owner/ family for 47 years and has a documented full history. This is just that vehicle.
This spectacular car has been treated like a family member since it was purchased back in 1967.  We hate to finally part with it. but garage space will soon be gone and my grandson has no interest in cars. What a shame!  This is a fantastic car for the lover of Cadillacs. convertibles and quality restoration work that has kept it close to original as possible. This is truly a beautiful example of a very low mileage 1967 Cadillac DeVille convertible.  This car has been photographed for books. won awards at National Cadillac Meets and been pictured in major auto magazines. It has never been smoked in. This car has been in the National Cadillac-LaSalle Club since 1985 and carefully follows the authenticity manuals.
I have supplied numerous pictures of the car and many more are available for serious buyers. upon request . They will show it as it is today as well as some pictures of its history and prior work that was done on it. Just ask and I will send them. I welcome questions about its past and condition. It is not absolutely "perfect". but just about everything has been taken care of and it shows beautifully. These cars always need something. even if only to make it slightly nicer and satisfy your pride.   That's what having a classic is all about!  You would never recoup the amount of money spent over the years.
A little bit of the car's history: 
1. July 1967: Purchased from Mel Gooch Cadillac in Utica. New York and immediately driven to Washington. DC where it spends the next 11 years (1967-1978) garaged at a DC Embassy house and home of the Executive Director of the Sons of the American Revolution.  It was used occasionally. since the Embassy supplied a car. I have a picture of the car in front of Embassy in 1967.
2. 1978-1988: Car was re-located to Houston. Texas when my father-in-law retired. Again the car was only used when Sunday drives were desired and the weather was right. He had an air conditioned garage to combat the humid Houston summers. He preferred his Toyota truck to do daily work related things. He didn't want to get the Caddy dirty!
3. 1988: My father-in-law passed away and I took ownership of the vehicle and drove it to Philadelphia where I lived at the time. I joined the Cadillac-LaSalle Club and have been a member ever since. Great organization. Mileage at the time was about 24. 00.
4. 1988-89: A major cosmetic restoration was done that took about 5 months. It included a professional factory. quality re-paint in the original white color. re-chroming of some items. and other cosmetic upgrades. Mechanically it was perfect. The car was disassembled to make sure there was no rust inside fenders . doors. trunk. etc.  I have pictures of the work available. Numerous car shows followed. where it won many trophies in local events.
5. 1989: The first time I displayed the car at a Cadillac Grand National Meet in Boston. MA it won a 2nd place.
6. 1991: The next Cadillac Grand National I went to was in Cincinnati. OH and the Cadillac got a 1st place in its class.
7. 1993-1996 :Moved to the Boston area and got a 3rd place at the 1991 Cadillac Grand National in Albany. NY.
8. 1996: This car was featured on the cover of the Self-Starter (National Cadillac –LaSalle Club Magazine). Picture of magazine cover is available.  
9. 1996-2000: Moved to Columbia. SC and had the engine totally re-built in 1997. All the receipts are available and will be provided. The engine was removed and just about everything. but the block . was replaced. Mileage at this time was about 32. 00.
10. 2001-2014: Moved to the Charleston. SC area (Kiawah Island) and have continued to perform regular maintenance. Car has been shown at several local high-end . concours meets.
Over the years this 47 year old classic has received lots of premier maintenance. I have always tried to keep it “original” and never put anything on or in the vehicle that didn't come from the factory. When possible. only GM parts are used. If it needed something. we never waited till it got bad. we just fixed it. The Caddy was never in an accident in 47 years. so only items that wore out or maintenance items were fixed. The engine compartment has recently been professionally detailed. and it shows real nice.  This car always starts even after months of sitting in the air conditioned garage. It has a very clean under-body with only normal light road dirt. Numbers match. Transmission is very smooth. It comes with a vinyl top cover (and storage bag) for  covering the convertible top when it's down and it has the original jack. tools and spare tire. The following is a list of the major things done to the car:
Professional off body re-painting and re-chroming of many items (1988-89)Complete Engine re-build (1996-7)Rear springs and four shocks (1999)New Carpet (1989)New engine fan (2012)Latest set of New tires ( 2012)Latest New battery (2014)Re-balance drive shaft (1999)New brakes (2011)New radiator (2012)New gas tank (1997)New muffler/tail pipe (2009)New exhaust manifolds (1997)New Front suspension/ tie rods. ball joints. idler arms. ontrol arms (2001)Replaced Weather stripping (doors. roof rail. trunk. body mounts. and hood bumpers) (2001)New original factory type Convertible top with glass window (2004)New A/C system -evaporator. dash control unit . blower motor and compressor (2009)Windshield washer motor (2001)Master cylinder (2009)Power brake booster (2009)Heater core (2009)New window regulator and electric motor in drivers side door (2014)New front seat belts (1999)All belts. hoses and fluids changed regularly.
I would consider this a really nice #2 condition car. It is driven and not trailered.  Current mileage of 52. 56 reflects only about 1100 miles per year. I have many spare parts. Cadillac body and service manuals. as well as other Cadillac items that will go with the car. as well as pretty much all the maintenance records and prior registrations/titles to document the mileage. This car enjoys road trips. swap meets. drive-ins. car shows. and just cruising around town to get admiring glances. I even have the official factory build sheet showing the options on the car. the date it was built and other info.
I always get questions like these.  Here are the answers. If you have more. please ask.
The glass is perfect. he body is laser straight. there is no rust. there are no water leaks and yes. the convertible top is correct (a glass window. not plastic). Top mechanism is original and still works fine. Dash has no cracks. Body panels fit as close to perfect as they can. Yes. it even has the small tiny chrome spear on the front license frame (most cars have lost this. very rare).
Since I said it is not perfect. here are just a few smaller items that I have not gotten to yet:
1. The clock has stopped working. I have a replacement which I will give to the new owner.
2. The A/C will need a re-charge. went out on last trip to Jacksonville.
3. The floor mounts of the power front seat need to be tightened. (It has a slight rocking back and forth)
4.  Original AM/FM Radio works fine. but sometimes the station dial sticks when you move it to change stations. Buttons work fine and automatic antenna works as it should. Rear speaker sometimes shuts off (must be loose wire).
5. I will supply a new rear taillight chrome bezel to replace the one on the car that has a few scratches.
6. Edge of drivers seat has some small wear on piping.
You can drive it anywhere or have it shipped. I just did a round trip to Jacksonville. Florida (about 500 miles) without any issues. (except the a/c stopped on the last 50 miles!) . Engine always runs cool. never overheats. Cruises at 75 for hours with hardly any effort. The 429 CI engine that puts out 340 HP does the trick and . surprisingly. the gas mileage was about 17 MPG. I will be happy to work with your shipper. I have a perfect eBay rating. Best of luck bidding.
