This cadillac has undergone through extensive restoration from professional body work to new paint.  The motor was pulled out during restoration to change all fluids. head gaskets and oil pan gaskets. coolant flush. and epoxy paint.  The car runs strong and shifts smoothly. and is rust free. The only rust was at the passenger side rear fender where a very small section of the rear part of the fender was cut out to patch with new sheet metal. The original owner used the car mainly for car shows and parades in the state of Washington.  

The following is a list of the major restoration work done in addition to those noted above: 
(1) re-chromed exterior front and back bumpers. grill. moldings. door and trunk handles. emblems. and interior parts.  (2) all new window and quarter glass. new felts(3) all new weatherstripping(4) new upholstery for two side door panels and carpet(5) new stainless 52-spoke Kelsey Hayes style wheels made in the USA with new wide white wall Coker tires.  
Other work done to the motor also included rebuilt starter and generator. rebuilt mechanical fuel pump. new hard fuel lines. new spark plugs and new belts.  The carburetor was rebuilt by the previous owner when I purchased the car.   Also an electronic fuel primer pump was added so the car starts right up.
The car is still 6 volts (actually has an 8 volt battery) with hydraulic power windows. seats and convertible top but the pump located at the firewall will need to be rebuilt so the two windows. seat and top do not work but the top can be manually open and close.   The 8 volt battery is new and gives more juice for start up rather than a 6 volt.  The reason I have not rebuilt the pump is leaving it up for the buyer to hopefully convert the car to 12 volts and electric windows and top.  I am not a fan of hydraulic powering the windows and other components when there are leaks. especially with brake fluid that will eat up your paint.  However if you choose to keep the hydraulics. all the cylinders are new. just need to rebuild the pump. I can have the car converted to 12 volts and electric windows at the buyer's choice at additional cost of $5k before pick up.  A new top will complete the car. the existing top has about 2 to 3 inch long slit at the top towards the back passenger side. but the top is fair condition.  
The amp meter and speedo works; the fuel. temp and pressure gauges. nbsp;radio and clock do not work.  To see a video of the car running cut and paste site address. nbsp;youtube. com/watch?v=ynshEUPwbOo.  Any questions please email.
