OFFERED FOR SALE IS THIS 1963 CADILLAC SERIES 62  2 DOOR HARD TOP!
THIS CAR IS AN ABSOLUTE GREAT FIND! EVEN THOUGH THE MILEAGE IS PROBABLY IN EXCESS OF 100. 00 MILES. IT'S VERY COMPLETE. UN-TAMPERED. AND VERY. VERY LITTLE ROT AND RUST! IT RUNS AND DRIVES. ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN BUTTE. MONTANA  IT HAS SPENT IT'S ENTIRE LIFE IN  MONTANA AND UNTIL JUST RECENTLY HAD BEEN IN STORAGE SINCE 2009. THE PREVIOUS OWNER STARTED THE CAR AN DROVE IT AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR. I DRAINED THE FUEL. CHANGED THE OIL. CHANGED THE COOLANT. REPLACED THE ROCKER ARM COVER GASKETS. REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT. FILLED THE TANK WITH 91-OCTANE AND FIRED THE MOTHER UP.  THIS CAR FLAT RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT!!
THE CAR STARTS.  RUNS. AND DRIVES VERY WELL.  THE ENGINE WARMS UP NICELY. WITHOUT RATTLE. KNOCK OR LIFTER NOISE. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS POSITIVELY AND SMOOTHLY. BUT THE HOSES OUGHT TO BE REPLACED. AS THERE IS SOME MINOR POWER STEERING AND TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKAGE.  ALL THE WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN. BUT THE TWO REAR WINDOWS COULD USE SOME LUBRICATION. THE POWER SIX-WAY SEAT WORKS. BUT LIKE THE WINDOWS. COULD USE SOME LUBRICATION AND TIGHTENING. THE WING WINDOWS WORK. THE DOORS CLOSE WITH A SOLID "CA-CHUNK". THE TRUNK "DRAW DOWN" LATCH WORKS. AS DOES THE "TRUNK" WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH PANEL. THE POWER AERIAL WORKS. BUT TIP IS BROKE OFF. THERE IS NO BROKEN SOFT RAY TINTED GLASS. THE GLASS IF NEAR PERFECT.  THE INTERIOR IS DIRTY AND COULD USE A GOOD CLEANING. I DID A QUICK VACUUMING. THE MAJORITY OF THE WEAR IS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THE ENTIRE FRONT SEAT SHOULD BE RECOVERED. I'M CERTAIN IT HAS HAD A RE-PAINT DONE. BUT NOT IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS. THE AM RADIO WORKS AND THE SPEAKER SOUNDS FAIR. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BACKUP-LIGHTS. ALL THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING WORKS. THE CAR DOES HAVE ALL FOUR ORIGINAL HUBCAPS. ALL FOUR FLOOR MATS. ORIGINAL SPARE TIRE. AND JACK/LUG WRENCH. I HAVE THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND THE OWNER PROTECTION PLAN BOOKLET.

HERE IS THE BAD NEWS/GOOD NEWS:
THERE ARE TWO SMALL RUST SPOTS BEHIND THE FRONT TIRES.  THEY CAN BE FIXED. HAS NOT GOTTEN INTO THE SUPERSTRUCTURE OF THE FENDER.  AND THE REST OF THE CAR IS VERY SOLID. PLEASE SEE THE PICTURES

THE FRONT SEAT NEEDS TO BE RECOVERED. AS THE BOTTOM SURFACE IS SHOT. SEE THE PICTURES.
THE BACK-UP LIGHTS DON'T WORK. I TRIED NEW BULBS. BUT NO LUCK.
THE CLOCK DOESN'T WORK. GOOD NEWS: WE HAVE WATCHES AND CELLULAR PHONES WITH CLOCKS.
THE DRIVER'S LIGHTER  DOES NOT WORK. GOOD NEWS: SMOKING IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU. SO WITHOUT A LIGHTER YOU WON'T BE TEMPTED TO LIGHT UP.
THERE ARE NO REAR SEAT BELTS. I PULLED THE SEAT TO CHECK AND ALL I FOUND WAS THE MOUNTING LOOPS. BUT NO BELTS OR BUCKLES. THE CAR MAY HAVE NOT COME WITH THEM AS THEY WERE INSTALLED AT THE DEALERSHIP (SOURCE: OWNER'S MANUAL).
THE POWER STEERING LEAKS. GOOD NEWS: IT ISN'T A LOT AND CAN BE FIXED WITH A NEW HOSE.
THE SIGNAL SEEKING FEATURE OF THE RADIO DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK. OR MAYBE THE GUY TRYING TO USE THE FEATURE IS FAULTY.
THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR COURTESY DOME LIGHT SWITCH IS ERRATIC. GOOD NEWS: THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WORKS FINE.
THE WINDSHIELD WASHER DOESN'T WORK. THE WIPERS WIPE. THE PUMP MAKES NOISE. BUT NO FLUID ON THE WINDSCREEN. I THINK THE PUMP COULD BE REBUILT OR A REPLACEMENT FOUND. AS GM USED THESE ON LOTS OF CARS.
THE ENGINE COULD BENEFIT WITH A NEW GASKET SET TO STEM THE OIL LEAKAGE (WHICH IS WHAT I WOULD EXPECT FROM A 50+ YEAR OLD CAR). IT LEAVES A FEW DROPS ON THE CONCRETE AS IT COOLS DOWN.
THERE IS SOME "RUST-THOUGH" ON THE REAR BUMPER (PICTURED). BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT'S STILL SOLID ENOUGH TO REPAIR AND RE-PLATE.
 THE REVIEW MIRROR SILVERING IS SHOT (SEE PICTURES).

THIS IS THE BEST NEWS ABOUT THE CAR: OTHER THAN A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF RUST. THE BODY. FRAME. AND FLOOR PANS ARE SOLID.


I'VE DONE MY BEST TO PICTURE THE CAR. BUT I'M ONLY ALLOWED 24 PICTURES. SO I LINKED THIS LISTING TO A PORTFOLIO ON PHOTOBUCKET. THIS LINK MIGHT BE A BIT EXCESSIVE IN THE NUMBER OF PICTURES. BUT I INTENDED TO GIVE THE BUYER AS MANY PICTURES AS POSSIBLE. THE UNDER CARRIAGE SHOTS WERE DONE FIRST AND THAT'S THE WAY PHOTOBUCKET COLLATED THEM. ALL PICTURES WERE TAKEN WITHIN THE LAST 30 DAYS.
I GOT A GOOD DEAL ON THIS CAR AND SO WILL YOU! I'VE LOWERED MY RESERVE PRICE TO UNDER $5. 00. 00. AS I'D RATHER NOT HAVE TO STORAGE THE CAR FOR THE WINTER.
