I am offering this 1963 Cadillac Convertible that I purchased from a Classic Car aficionado in Washington State who had recently purchased it from an estate auction. This distinctive Cadillac has an extremely rare color combination that was in storage for nearly 40 years as it was last registered in 1975!!!!!!!  It was stored  properly as the Floorpans, frame, trunk pan and rocker panels are original and have virtually NO RUST!  ( I intentionally did not carpet the trunk to illustrate the original rust free trunk pan and sheet metal......)Please view the photos that I have posted of the frame,floorpans and trunk pan,as the photos speak for themselves. 

I have invested many thousands of dollars on this vehicles recent extensive mechanical and body restoration. The mechanical restoration was performed by Rick Johnson Auto of Naples, spearheaded by Mike/Chris and their staff that had devoted many hours in the mechanical restoration with exemplary results. Precision Collision/ Bill Polidore of Naples performed an outstanding result with the body restoration and matched the original color perfectly. Tim Schaus a local craftsman  hand painted the grill to restore it to its near original condition,most of the photos were taken professionally by "Photo Jack, Artistic Imagery" a well known highly respected local photographer. 

I went to great lengths to restore this exceptional vehicle by using as many NOS parts, paint, trim and mechanical items as much as possible to maintain originality. This exceptional vehicle is rare, unusual and is distinctively attractive, for the person that desires the look of prestige, admiring looks, attention and who wants to do it just a bit differently than everyone else!

To showcase its most stunning features, including but not limited to:

 

·       New paint

·      New Leather Seats in the correct factory pattern!·       New convertible top and tires, Vanity passenger Mirror and NOS Cadillac floor mats!

  • New Exhaust ,Brakes ,Fuel Pump ,Battery, Plugs, Top motor, Water Pump, NOS Automatic Transmission Filter,  Wheel cylinders etc.!
  • The power seat works fine as I have replaced the switches and seat transmission!
  • The original  dash is in almost perfect condition and the metal parts of the lower dash were professionally painted in the original white color.   
  •  I personally flew out to California and selected and purchased most of the exterior chrome for this distinctive vehicle from a vintage Cadillac Salvage yard in the desert that specializes in Classic Cadillac’s.(the original chrome had dings and scuff marks)

·       The engine and drive train perform smoothly 

·       The vintage power antenna and AM Radio work!! and this vehicle was per the build sheet constructed on 04/01/1963 with controlled differential (posi-traction) (a rarity in these old cars)   

The factory build sheet, owner’s manual, sales brochures, etc. are included with the purchase of the vehicle, and a clear Florida Title is in hand and will be transferred to the new owner immediately upon the receipt of payment in full. 

This is a stunning classic cruiser that turns heads wherever it goes. It was one of the featured cars in the Naples Parade and drew an voluminous amount of attention due to its striking exterior and interior color combination. I have repainted it in its original color scheme, Basildon Green which coordinates with the original two tone white/black interior. 

This meticulously restored vehicle is by no means a "TRAILER QUEEN" and in my opinion is an excellent driver quality vehicle! The reserve price is reflective of its quality.

I have been in this hobby for over 45 years and attended hundreds of Car Shows and auctions and I have NEVER seen this color combination on any 1963 Cadillac Convertible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The information off the Vehicle trim tag is as follows; 

Paint code 32 , Basildon Green  

Trim code 20 White Leather

Top code    1 White

Accessory code EY 

Thank you for your interest and I can be reached at (239) 285-7555.

GOOD LUCK BIDDING!

 Terms and Conditions

Opinions of classic vehicle condition and originality are subjective. 

Please note that I am not an automobile used car dealer, mechanic or auto body technician, as I am only a hobbyist ,so I can only answer your technical questions to the best of my ability. 

There is no such thing as a "PERFECT" car...especially when dealing with vintage cars that are 20, 35 and even 50 years old.

Arranging for an independent third-party inspection is a great way to validate a seller's claims about a vehicle's condition. There are many companies and individuals who offer such a service. Of course your personal inspection and scrutiny are suggested and most welcomed.

The seller has made a diligent effort to accurately describe this vehicle but does not expressly or implicitly guarantee the accuracy of the above description.

Bidders and prospective purchasers are urged and cautioned to conduct their own due diligence, including a physical inspection in person or through a qualified third party inspector or appraiser, before contemplating a purchase or making a bid on this vehicle.

Your bid is your agreement to purchase the vehicle, not to come and look at it and then decide,you have ten days to do that before the end of the auction.

The seller shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects associated with this vehicle at the buyer's request prior to the close of sale. Seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle. I am not the original owner of this vehicle therefore I cannot certify the mileage as original or true so I will transfer the vehicle as TMU (true mileage unknown).

Cadillac cancels sponsorship of Trump's PGA event

Thu, Jun 2 2016

Cadillac has ended its sponsorship of the PGA's World Golf Championship, which has incited a response from Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Without the automaker's money to run the event at a property owned by Trump in Miami, the PGA announced it will move the WGC to Mexico City. Trump responded by saying, "Cadillac's been a great sponsor, but they're moving it to Mexico. They're moving it to Mexico City which, by the way, I hope they have kidnapping insurance. They're moving it to Mexico City. And I'm saying, you know, what's going on here? It is so sad when you look at what's going on with our country." In 2010, the PGA announced a multi-year deal with Cadillac to sponsor the WGC, starting in 2011. Since 2007, the event has been held at what is now known as the Trump National Doral Miami location. Trump took ownership of the property in 2012. Cadillac issued a statement to Autoblog that says: "We are proud to have been the title sponsor of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship since 2011. We have made the decision, however, not to extend our sponsorship beyond this year. We thank the PGA TOUR for a great six years with the Cadillac Championship."

Liberace's gilded Cadillac could be yours

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

With their chrome grilles and oversized wheels, it's hard not to notice a Cadillac these days. But this one is even more blingtastic on account of the 23.75-karat gold-leaf bodywork.
The 1931 Cadillac Golfer's Drop Head Coupé is said to have belonged to the inimitable performer Liberace, who didn't just have it covered in gold - he also had the exterior door handles plated in silver and the inside handles in 24-karat gold as well. It's also got a white leather interior and headlights that - well ahead of their time (if you'll pardon us, Mr. Tucker) - pivot with the steering wheel. All that bling is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission that pales in comparison to the seven, eight and even nine-speed gearboxes appearing on luxury sedans today.
The project was undertaken over the course of three years in the 1970s by one Jack Smith from Kansas. Smith (if that was his real name) sold it at auction in 1975, and it was most recently displayed for 12 years at a museum in Germany which claimed it was Liberace's own. The car is now going up for sale by Barons' at the Sandown Park horse racing track in Surrey, England, on September 17, when bidding starts at 85,000 pounds - equivalent to over $130,000 at today's rates.

2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe prepares to fight BMW 4 Series

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Cadillac introduced its new ATS Coupe at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show today, bringing customers an alternative to the growing range of sport luxury coupes typified by the BMW 4 Series, Audi A5 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe.
The ATS Coupe, as a slightly more premium offering, ditches the wheezy 2.5-liter engine found in the basic ATS Sedan, but retains the four-door's 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder and 3.6-liter V6. That four-pot turbo benefits from a fettling that has increased torque from 260 pound-feet to 295, although its peak is only available from 3,000 rpm to 4,600 rpm, unlike in the sedan, where peak twist arrives at just 1,700 rpm and sticks around until 5,500 rpm.
Power can be channeled to either the rear or all four wheels by the owner's choice of a Tremec six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. According to Cadillac, the new Coupe can get to 60 in 5.6 seconds when fitted with the 2.0-liter turbo.
