Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.1) based on 208 votes
Extremely nice 1963 Coupe that looks as if it has been restored. but it's all original. The paint presents itself as if it were factory new and is original. The interior has slight carpet fading on the transmission hump. but the rest of the interior is near perfect. We bought this car from the original owners for our collection. but making room for a '59 convertible that we acquired. The Caddy has always been a southern California car and has been garaged its entire life. The original owner was a LaSalle Club member and frequented the Pebble Beach car shows. We bought the car from his estate.
Exterior
The sides of the car are laser straight with no history of rust or damage repair. There are no door dings or dents. The paint has a mirror like finish as expected. There are no dings or cracks in the windshield and the remainder of the glass is perfect. The chrome is perfect with no flaws or patina. All bright work is perfect. Equipped with 17" knock-off true wire wheels that are showing some aging (minor surface rust) in the internal spokes. I have not attempted to polish the wheels. The tires have less than 800 miles. All lights. blinkers. hood blinkers and markers work as they should. No fading of the lenses. There may be one small rock chip to the paint just above the grille. The grill is perfect. No waves in the body hood or deck lid.
Interior
No cracks in the leather or dash pad. The seat fabric has no checking or failure in the stitching. The badging. bezels. steering wheel. all dash components present as if new. I have never seen an unrestored car that does not have some bubbles or imperfections in the chrome. etc. All interior lighting works (all door courtesy lights work). power windows work as they should except the driver's rear has to be helped up if rolled all the way down. The clock was taken out and the points were cleaned and the unit was oiled correctly. Amazing to see the clock components with no hint of corrosion or age. so now the clock works perfectly. All gauges work as they should. Glove box light works. A high end CD stereo is mounted in the glove box and sounds amazing (has iPod terminal). The original radio works but is disconnected from the speakers (because of the stereo connection) and the power antenna does not work all of the time and needs assistance at times. The power seat functions up and down and reclines forward and backward. but the main movement forward and back does not works. The switch is fine. the motor operates. but the seat does not move. I have not investigated but suspect a gear problem. Seat belts in the front. but not in the rear.
Mechanical
The motor starts and runs perfectly with less than 82. 00 original miles. No smoke and maybe a very minor drip from time to time. The motor has never had any work. for instance the valve cover gaskets are original. Power steering and brakes work perfectly. All suspension components have been maintained as they should. The transmission shifts flawlessly. This car drives down the highway just as well as our 2010 Suburban (although the brakes are not near as good. but there are no vibrations or shimmy at 70-75 mph). There are absolutely no rattles with this car. Looking under the car is amazing. The rear coil springs actually look new with no hint of surface rust under the car. The floorpans are perfect. There is no evidence of repair or modifications under the car and it looks consistent with the condition of the remainder of the car. Once again. the motor is quiet. starts easy. accelerates as it should. never runs hot and seems flawless. I have not detailed the engine bay; it is original and dusty.
Summary
We never expected to sell this car. but circumstances dictate. We have the original owner's manual. I always see folks claiming to have the nicest unrestored '63-'64 Caddy in the country. but I truly believe this one is a candidate. I have to say that if you are not satisfied with this car upon purchase. that I have no problem buying it back (just ship it back to me and I will fully refund your money). I do not want to sell to anyone that is not satisfied and does not enjoy it as we do. I welcome inspections at our home in Temecula. CA (60 miles north of San Diego). Robert at 951-506-3572.
