I want to my description to be as accurate as possible so there is no disappointment… If you have any questions or if there is anything vague in my details please do not hesitate to ask and if more photos are needed please feel free to ask…. I will do all I can to assist you …. Please note that if you have read this description before read again because some details have been added and improved on from the previously deleted listing to better aid you in makeing a more informed decision.

This 57 Cadillac is a true barn find that was left stored away in the Nevada dessert for the past 29 years. When the car was parked it was a runner according to the last owner who purchased it running from the previous owner but said it had issues with the dual carbs which he removed sadly enough and replaced them with a single carb manifold hoping to fix the problem. The dual carbs and the dual carb air cleaner are lost to history.

The mileage on the 365 engine with air reads 76452 . When I first acquired the car I wanted to see if the engine would run. So. I put it on jack stands. unfroze the water pump from rust. installed a new fuel pump. by passed the gas tank. added a new battery . primed the carb. it started. The engine starts and runs like a sewing machine. the transmission goes in gear with it sitting on jacks and the tires turn. There are no brakes as the master cylinder needs to be rebuilt which is being done today. The doors function perfectly but there is one passenger front side glass needing to be replaced. the trim for that window is there. The power windows on three windows move slightly and the driver's side power window motor is in a box. The interior is rotting from age and is all there except on the front doors where I removed it and put it in a box . The back seat and arm rests as well as the front parts seat are all there and obviously needs to be restored. The dash components are missing on the passenger side in the photos but are all in a box including the original radio. The trunk has one trunk bracket bent and is off the car also in the box. There are 4 original rims present but all the white wall tires are rotted from sitting. The centers of the rims are missing. The original jack is in the trunk. The trunk is perfect with no rust

The car has no major body damage or rust except as noted below in the fenders or doors and has not been hit. The frame looks perfect and shows no signs of damage.  The car shows mininal signs of rust which is normal for a car that has been in the dry dessert this many years. The only rust that is apparent is in the rear of the top ( see photos ) where it looks like water got trapped under the vinyl and rusted thru. This part of the top is rusted thru and extends from the right pillar across to the left pillar and is localized along the back of the window trim… Also the rear passenger floor pan is rusted thru in two very small areas ( see photo ) All the chrome is present on the car and nothing seems to be missing.
