I'd like to say this 1963 Cadillac Coupe De Ville is outstanding (which it has been as my daily driver for the last 20 years) but it's a good news / bad news scenario. First. the bad news – the 390 cubic inch engine has blown a cylinder so needs an overhaul. Also the interior – including bucket seats and red leather (all expensive options in their day) – need refurbishing. The windscreen is cracked. And the metallic Silver Mink paintwork needs a respray. although it's not really that urgent if you want to restore it to a certain point and then start driving it. The good news. however. is very good – it was imported to Australia in 1965 and converted to right hand drive at that time; older conversions are highly sought after. It's had a stack of recent repairs on it. Last year. (2016). the automatic transmission was overhauled. new front and rear shocks. new alternator. and a new exhaust system (and then it repays such kindnesses by blowing a cylinder – sheesh!!). Full NSW rego until October 2017. It's appeared in a few magazines. including the Australian edition of Travel + Leisure. and a few months before spitting its mechanical dummy. was the star of a music video by Australian blues musician. Glenn Cardier. for his single. Cool Under Fire - https://www. youtube. com/watch?v=wPQHW8xXWLo  The Caddy's back story is pretty fascinating as well; it was originally purchased by the producer of the long-running Casino de Paris show at the iconic Dunes casino/resort in Las Vegas (if that back seat could talk!!). If the link holds up. check it out here - https://davidlatta. org/2011/08/29/a-classic-link-to-old-time-las-vegas-the-dunes-frederic-apcar-and-the-casino-de-paris/ So it's priced to sell; hopefully. it'll be loved and revived by someone who can look past its flaws and recognise its true value. I'll add some more photos as the listing progresses; the clown who parked across my driveway made the first photoshoot difficult. If you're in Sydney. you're welcome to come visit it at Dulwich Hill. in the Inner West of Sydney.

HI,
who did the RHD conversion?
What options does it have (electric windows/seats/aerial etc etc).
Does it have working airconditioning (not all did)?
