1963 Cadillac Series 62 four window sedan

Picture yourself in this 1963 Cadillac. As Bruce Springsteen says. “Cadillac. Cadillac. Long and dark. shiny and black. Open up your engines let 'em roar. br>Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur”.

This one is a survivor and drives like a dream!  Ebony Black exterior with black and ivory interior. The car is original with some partial restoration through the years. including the seat upholstery and a repaint somewhere along the way.   The paint is still glossy and looks great. It's been garage kept and pampered.

Here are the original specifications for this car:

1963 Cadillac Sixty-Two four-window Sedan

Wheelbase:129. 5" (3. 9 m)

Length:223" (5. 6 m)

Weight:4595 (2084 kg)

Factory Price:$5214

Production Total:16980

Engine:390 ci (6. 4 l). 4 bbl Carter carburetor

 This car has the factory correct original wheel covers with radial whitewall tires and factory A/C.   The body plate shows 06A (built during the first week of June 1963). Style 63-6239 (1963 Sixty Two Sedan – 4 window). Body FW 13738; Trim 30 (black Carleton cloth with white bolsters and trim). Paint 10 (Ebony black). ACC EXYK (factory installed accessories - as near as I can tell this is the power 6-way front seat. factory A/C. AM Radio and seat belts).   The car has a clear. clean Texas title.

What does it need to be driven and enjoyed?

Basically nothing!  Put the key in. turn it on and drive it! It cruises nicely and takes you back to 1963 when these cars owned the road.

The car starts up quickly and runs smoothly down the highway.   The transmission shifts nicely without any hesitation or abruptness. you hardly know when it changes gears.   We recently serviced the brake system and topped off the fluids.   It has a new Duralast battery.  

What does it need to be perfect?

·         A/C will need service.   Appears to have been converted at one time. but is not blowing cold.

·         Slight exhaust leak – some muffler rumble. but not bad.

·         Slight power steering fluid leak

·         Parking brake release does not work

·         Front seat power adjustment only works for fore / aft adjustments.   Motor runs for other functions. but nothing happens that I can tell.

·         Passenger front power window switch on the driver's door does not work.   Motor and switch work fine on the passenger front door.

·         Hood needs adjustment at the rear to sit perfectly. there is a slight gap at the rear on both sides where it should fit flush.

·         Radio antenna is bent slightly at the top.   It appears to be an aftermarket electric antenna.

·         Radio does not come on

·         Driver side rear passenger door armrest has come off and needs to be reattached to the door.   I have shown the armrest in one of the photos – it is in good shape.   It has the screws and appears to just need re-attaching.

·         Drivers front kick panel molding has come loose around the inside edge

·         Several small tears in the headliner

·         Open panel behind the glove box. is exposed when the glovebox door is opened

·         Small area of corrosion in the front chrome bumper at the bottom on the passenger side.   Several small dings on the rear bumper. all shown in the photos.

·         The dash has several cracked places along the top of the dash.

·         The windshield has one small chip which could be easily repaired with epoxy.

·         Rearview mirror is a reflective overlay – the original glass is not there.

·         There are several small scratches and paint chips. which I have attempted to show in the photos.   They are not bad. but I wanted to point them out.  

·         Windows are dark tinted – this is not factory original. but it is nice for that “look”!

All of these items are clearly shown in the detailed photos - I have about 60 on our website www. briansplaceonline. com.   This car is a nice example of a well preserved. well maintained “driver”.   For what you would spend on a two year old Kia or Hyundai. you could have a piece of automotive history that will continue to appreciate in value and look cool going down the highway or sitting at the drive-in.   Can't say I have ever heard anyone say “cool” and "Kia" or "Hyundai" in the same sentence.

We are selling this on consignment for a local customer here in TX.   This car has been (and continues to be) garage kept.   We can help arrange shipping to your destination.   We are located in north central TX. we are conveniently located near the Fort Worth - Dallas area.   For out of country buyers. we do not arrange the shipping at our end. but will coordinate with them on the pickup of the vehicle here.

I have taken approximately 60 detailed photos. so whatever photos are not shown here on ebay will be on our website www. briansplaceonline. com.   Check out the photos and let us know if you have any questions.

We have a clean. clear Texas title for this car.   We will do the title work for Texas buyers and collect the TT&L at purchase.   For buyers outside of the Lone Star state. we will provide a 60 day temporary tag and will collect the county VIT fee. approximately $18. 00 for both.  

PLEASE NOTE - We are relisting this vehicle since an ebay "member" from Cyprus (# 4511743100343031) chose to purchase the car . but did not pay. screwing up the auction for everyone else.   He has been barred from bidding in any of our auctions in the future.   Please be serious when you bid or make offers.   Thank you.
