1960 Cadillac Coupe De Ville A/c True Survivor Hard Top 2 Door on 2040-cars
Mangum, Oklahoma, United States
|
Up for auction is one 1960 Cadillac Coupe De Ville. By my understanding having the "J" in the VIN makes it a true coupe De Ville and not a series 62. If my research and knowledge is incorrect please let me know. The car is in above average condition considering being 50+ years old.
The body is in clean and straight with no issues. As noted the only rust through is located on the lower rear corners of the front fenders. The floor pans and rockers along with the inner trunk structure and undercarrige are rust free. The chassis is rust free as well and at all body mounting points. All the exterior is in nice shape but is in need of paint. The color has faded but no surface rust around any glass etc... All glass is in nice condition and all power windows and electronics work including 6 way power seat. I have recenetly installed a brand new OEM style spotlight and (rare) bracket on the car since the original spotlight and bracket were missing. The Air Breather and Valve Covers have been professionally painted with base coat and clear coat and look great. The vehicle will come with an extra drivers side door panel and a set of hub caps. The tires all have weather cracks and would probably need to be replaced.
The car is mechanically sound and runs and drives great. The vehicle has new push rods, lifters, fuel filter, fuel pump, transmission filter, cap rotor, iginition coil, stater, battery, oil filter, oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, anti-freeze, new intake gaskets, spark plugs, spark plugs wires, belts, hoses, and master cylinder. The transmission is in good condition and was free of any sludge build up or debris when the filter and fluid were replaced. The transmission shifts great and responds normally. The igintion system has had a full tune up and almost all of the ignition electronics have been replaced. The engine has had a recent oil change and the old oil was free of and metal shavings or debris. The cooling system has been completely flushed and had all of the anti freeze replaced with no abnormalities in the old antfreeze when changed. The carburetor has been fully rebuilt and cleaned and is a factory carburetor with electric choke. The car has factory dual exhaust but has rust throughout various spots but car is still quiet; however, the exhaust will need to be replaced.
The car runs and drives well. You could say its like driving a recliner down the road. The air conditioning on the vehicle works but will need a charge in order for the air conditioning to be 100%. The heater inside the vehicle works great and blows hot without any leaks. The car is a true survivor that has not been molested and would make a great car for someone to restore and bring back fond memories or make new ones. The car would make for a great restoration or a great daily driver as is.
I offer no warranty with this car and please let me know if you have any questions via email through ebay. Serious inquiries can feel free to send a phone number and I will be happy to give them a call for more details or questions. Please contact me before you bid if you have less than 5 positive feedback but are seriously interested in the vehicle. I would prefer to have bidders that have more than 5 feedback. Paypal is a requirement for purchasing the vehicle because I do require a $500 deposit to be paid 48 hours after the auction closing with the remaining balance paid 7 days after auction closing.
Buyer will be resposible for the pick up and shipping of the vehicle. The vehicle can be picked up at a business with a large parking lot. Common carriers I have had good luck with in the past include DAS and Uship or you can use a carrier of your choice.
Thank you for taking the time to show interest in this vehicle. |

Is Lincoln MKC cutting into Cadillac SRX sales?
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The two big American luxury brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are on surprisingly similar paths at the moment with both divisions hoping to redefine themselves and grow popularity. They're still early in the process with no clear winner yet, but things might actually be looking up for Lincoln's latest model, according to a monthly sales analysis from The Motley Fool. It seems, at least early on, that the new MKC crossover might be taking a bite out of the Cadillac SRX's growth.
The MKC launched just a few months ago and has been getting a big marketing push from a series of oft-mocked ads starring the smooth-talking Matthew McConaughey. The luxury CUV has been the popular, new kid on the block with growing sales since its introduction. While smaller than the SRX, the Lincoln starts at a lower price and offers better fuel economy.
Through June, the SRX performed well with sales up over 20 percent on average through June, according to The Motley Fool. However, July and August saw things plummet with year-over-year drops of 7 percent and 37 percent, respectively. It still far outsold the MKC in terms of actual units in a given month, but the Caddy's continued growth has appeared to stagnate.
Almost half of US Cadillac dealers say no to ELR plug-in hybrid
Wed, Feb 19 2014If you've got $75,995 (or so) burning a hole in your pocket and a hankering for the new Cadillac ELR, you'd better call your local dealer before you burn up shoe leather and gasoline to head down there. According to a report on Edmunds, only about 56 percent of the brand's 940 dealers have signed up to carry the premium plug-in hybrid. As much as we'd like to see the more affluent among us driving on electricity, we can certainly understand the dealers' apparent lack of enthusiasm. The article cites costs of up to $15,000 for tools and training to sell the ELR. Show floor real estate is another consideration for dealers who aren't enthusiastic about sacrificing space for a for a vehicle with initial sales – just 46 units nationwide in the first two months, but that volume is expected to increase – that are as mediocre as our first drive impressions. Still, for those locations that co-habitate with Chevrolet dealers who already participate in the Volt program, the extra expenditure shouldn't be too onerous. The two vehicles share the same basic electro-mechanical drivetrain, so those dealerships should have most of the needed infrastructure already in place. The bulk of ELR sales, according to Cadillac's global marketing director Jim Vurpillat, are expected to be in along the coasts, in places like California, Miami and New York.

Playboy reveals its 2013 Cars of the Year
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Vaunted men's magazine Playboy knows that its readers are nearly as interested in cars as they are in the female anatomy... sorry, we thought we could write that with a straight face. Anyway, the buff-book does occasionally fill some of its spreads with sexy metal, to accent all the rest of the sexiness.
To wit, the magazine has unveiled its feature on the 2013 Cars of the Year. Without giving us much in the way of criteria for the awards, nor a clear framing of the categories ("Responsible Ride" is a particularly challenging concept, especially when you consider that the Mazdaspeed3 was the winner), Playboy has nevertheless highlighted what we assume to be it's favorite 12 or 13 (depending on how you count) cars from the 2013 model year.
Headlining the class is the Porsche 911, which Playboy writers single out for having "remarkable electronic voodoo." BMW M5 is named "Slickest Sports Sedan" though the Cadillac ATS then follows on because "we couldn't resist giving the new Caddy a shout-out." The rest of the picks are pretty conventional (save, perhaps, the Honda Fit EV as "Ace Electric"), even if the categories and methodology are fairly wonky. Cruise through or gallery for a taste or check out the full list, here. The site is safe for work, and you can legitimately (this time) say that you were reading it for the articles.
