 1967 Cadillac Coupe DeVille

This vehicle is driven periodically, registered and PA state inspected good until December 2013 (not antique tag).  I have put a little over 1000 miles on it in the last year or so.  When I purchased it, the transmission was slipping.  I had the automatic transmission completely rebuilt by Werner Transmission in East Bangor, PA.  Ralph Werner has over 30 years experience with automatic transmissions.  He informed me that someone had replaced the valve body with an incorrect unit for this year.  Werner converted this to a stock TH-400 and it shifts perfectly smooth and firm.  I bought 4 new whitewall tires for the car which also have less than 1500 miles on them.  The trunk lining was soaked from a leak somewhere in the rear so I removed the lining as it was all rotten.  There were two holes in the pan which I have sealed with metal plates.  The engine starts and runs fine when warm but the carburetor could use a rebuild.  I disconnected the choke plate since the linkage was loose and it was in the way.  I have the choke plate in a box which just screws back onto the choke shaft.  In cold starts you just have to pump the carb a few times to get it to start.  There is an exhaust noise which I believe is coming from the left (driver) side, possibly in the manifold area.  The A/C compressor is not connected (belt removed) and may be seized.  The heat/defrost blower works ok as well as the climate control.  The radio lights up but there is no sound from it.  The power windows work, although the driver's side window is a little slow.  This car has passed PA State Safety inspection twice and is good to drive in PA until the end of this year.  You can drive this as is and as you work on it.  The paint is an older re-paint job that appears to have been oxidized while the car was left to sit outside by a previous owner.  There are some bubbles in the usual places.  The interior is mildewed in spots, and the front bench seat is ripped on the driver's side.  I have kept the car in a dry garage and not driven it outdoors because of the leaks to the interior.  They may just be sealing around the windows, I am not sure.  The trim strips around the right side and rear that are seen missing in the photos I have kept on the side - some new plastic clips are needed to secure the trim pieces back in place. 

Between the transmission rebuild, the new tires, and various ignition components (plugs/wires/cap/rotor) and belts, I have invested about $2000 into the vehicle, in addition to the original purchase price I paid for it.  It runs and drives fine and can be uses as-is although I never drive it very far from home, it has never given me a problem on the road.

If interested, please contact me through eBay to arrange an inspection/test drive.  If you wish to have the car trailered, you must make all the arrangements.  I will not sign over, transfer or send title until all payments are cleared.


Thanks!
