1967 Cadillac Deville Convertible Runs Goodfellas Kind Of Car Red On Red Az Car on 2040-cars

1967 Cadillac Deville convertible

Up for Auction:

This 67 Caddy convert was pulled out of Kingman Az where it
had been sitting for many yrs and brought to Tucson.
The car has sat here in the Az climate for over 20+ yrs.
Odometer shows 47k on it which could be original.
What we know about the car you cant see in the pics is:
New spark plugs and oil and air filter.
We ran the gas line from the fuel pump to a container of
fuel under the hood, cranked it a few time and it fired up.
The water pump is frozen, so to keep things simple we cut
the old belts off. The motor runs and is actually quiet and
smooth for how un restored or tuned up it is.
We put the car in gear and have moved it around our parking
lot a few times, with no hiccups. Brakes work too.
Someone put 4 new tires on the car about a yr ago.
I suggest checking the fuel tank and maybe clean it out before
just adding gas and hooking the fuel line up to it.
But seeing as the car runs and moves on its own, this makes
shipping much easier and less costly.

RESTORE it back to stock or do something along the restomod
way, or rat rod and have an awesome 1 of a kind car
your friends only wished they had for such a low investment.

OBVIOUSLY this car has seen better days, but its would still be
a great car to restore. Rust on the bottom of both front fenders
and the rear lower part floor boards got the worst if it.
Trunk pan got some too, but honestly if you are doing a mild
restoration you could save it.
Just from water etc sitting in those areas over the yrs. But the
car hasnt seen salt and the frame rails, rockers are solid.
Check out the pics.
These cars are getting harder to find esp in this shape
which is still affordable for the builder.

DRIVETRAIN:  the original motor runs and sounds good.
Last yr for the 429 V8 4v matted to the 3 spd auto.
Motor does have all the AC stuff including PS, PB and
more. It will need a new waterpump and new belts
right away. Maybe just finish the tune up stuff after 
that and should be able to drive it. Well check all the
brakes too. But it stops right now, pedal feels normal.

INTERIOR: RED was the original color, cool.
The original is worn and sunbeat. But all the trim
seems to be there needed for a proper resto.
Rear seat bottom is missing. I tried all the PW and they all
move a little when you hit their buttons. So they are getting
power but Im sure the tracks are dry.
Convertible top frame and motor all intact too, making
the restoration less costly. I think the old pioneer 8 track
has been spoken for already.
SO the interior is rough, but a little time and effort could
go a long way during the restoration.

EXTERIOR: Original color was red, and think most of the
paint is original still. I do see where there was some previous
repair to the LR quarter panel near the bumper.
Mild rust compared to an eastcoast barn find making the
deconstruction easier as well as the resto easier.
All the glass is there, but the windshield is original and 
cracked on the pass side. Obviously it needs a top and
full restoration.

SUSPENSION: all factory the best I can tell and if its 
really 47k original miles, may not need much. 
Leave it stock or put some 22" wheels on it.

Check out ALL the pics below ----->

it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a
slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra schroll
bar on the right side.
Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate.
more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.

I want to add that the tension spring in the trunk is broken so the trunk will Not stay up by itself . Also, we have an ignition key only, which we had made to fit the original switch in the dash, and I believe ALSO fits the doors too.
AC compressor does spin freely.
