1963 Cadillac DeVille Convertible
probably one of the most desirable cars being restored and fixed up
in the last few yrs, nd one of the best yr looking Caddys ever made..
this is one car I really hate to sell. But if we do we do.
MOVIE CAR: these cars are used alot in movies like GOODFELLAS
or A BRONX TALE and look great on the big screen. I recently watched
the movie Jersey Boys, nd each of the 4 Seasons looked like they
each had their own Caddy convertible same yr as this one.
Its always been an car thats shown signs of class and wealth
and still is today, f not more so.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
17,600 built over 50 yrs ago. here is an un-restored survivor.
How many are left on the streets ? less then 1000 maybe ? hard to say.
From what Ive gathered online, spen white with Red Leather interior
is actually a pretty rare combo. Whether it stays that way in its future
is hard to say. THIS IS NOT A RESTORED CAR BY ANY MEANS.
Its an 63 Caddy that was originally sold back East, ut has spent about 70%
of its life here in the SW AZ desert. It looks okay in the pics, ut the paint
job was a pretty cheap job done about 15 yrs ago and you can tell in
person. AZ sun has been pretty hard on the Leather interior. It could
be a daily driver, hen we got it I drove it home at night on about a
10 mile trip across town with no issues.
Its fun to cruise around in and attracts all sorts of attention, he interior
has much sun damage as does the ragtop is in bad shape. The mechanical
part of the convertible top wants to work, he motor runs, ut the system
is low on fluid and needs help going up and down.
Also, he RF fender was replaced with another original white fender
about 10 yrs ago, o if you look close, oull see the paint doesnt match very
well, ut its close. Its a FUN beautiful car as is in my eyes and has alot
of potential for whatever your plans would be.
DONT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS IN HAND, pparently some people
who use ebay arent smart enough to understand the rules.
So if you have under 10 feedbacks, ll be emailing you if you bid to
make sure you are legit, f we do please reply or we will cancel your bid.
Up for Auction: LOW FAIR RESERVE !!!
These cars are getting harder to find esp in this condition
that are still affordable to most buyers.
DRIVETRAIN: this car has its factory 390 big block V8 and the motor
runs and drives nice. Transmission feels good too, lthough there is a small
trans fluid leak. I top it off every few weeks. I believe some motor work was
done about 10 yrs ago on the car, ut the car hasnt been driven much either
in the last 20 yrs. It was pulled out of retirement a few months ago and made
road worthy again. Gas tank cleaned out, ome brake work done too.
The carb was replaced with an Edelbrock 4v carb and it runs great as is, ut
the car still comes with the original Q-jet loose in the trunk with the factory
air cleaner too. PS feels good and normal too, ut one of the PS lines too has
a small leak.
INTERIOR: take a look at the pics, he interior of this car is pretty well
worn out and probably the first thing you would want to repair. It seems
very complete and the chrome isnt too bad of shape. I think with help I
can get all 4 PW up and down, ut they will probably need some work there
too. The power seat motors make noise when you hit the button but the
seat doesnt move. Interior courtesy lights not working at the moment
either. Has a Very Rare AM/FM radio too, hich isnt working, o not sure
if its just a bad speaker or what. LOTS of chrome inside these cars and
even for this cars condition, ts pretty nice looking .
At least if you redo the interior back
to RED, hat leaves you the opportunity to paint the outside of the car
SILVER, ED, HITE or BLACK . (or yes, emi flat black, hich is pretty
Popular these days). So the interiors needs alot of work, ut guess it depends
on how you look at it. Floors seem very solid, hen you look at the pics
from under the car, t did get some rust. So some metal work there will be
needed, ut still far less then most of these cars that are not restored.
Seeing as this car has been in AZ for most of its life, t has less rust then
most 50 yrs old cars, nd less rot.
EXTERIOR:the body and paint on this car in my opinion pretty nice but
the pics do make it look better if you ask me. Im also a little more picky
then some owners. Paint is an old cheap job and you can tell in person.
From 20 ft away its okay. RF fender doesnt match, ut its close for now.
Front windshield and side glass all in good shape. It needs a new convertible
top vinyl, nd it would be a good time to put a glass window in the back
when you replace it in the future if the car sells. Bumpers and stainless trim
in really nice shape for their age, inimal dents etc, ut the chrome finish
is showing its age. Again, ooks good from about 20 ft. Spare tire and wheel
is missing in the trunk, ut jack etc looks all intact. Front and rear lights all
working as do the blinkers too, aking it okay to drive at nite the way it is.
SUSPENSION:the suspension feels like a big tuna boat, ut really it still
rides like a Caddy and the tires are in decent shape too. No weird noises coming
from the car while gliding down the road, ut Im sure its going to need some
bushings replaced in the near future because its not restored and of its age.
At least for now, ou can still hop in and drive it around town. Fix the PS leak
and it will help too. Im going to degrease under the car this week.

There you have it, robably The BEST represented Cadillacs on Ebay.
Shows you all the good as well as any bad, ope you appreciate them.
We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows.
People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale
and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, t still beats
paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end.
Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days
speaks volumes. This is NOT OUR MOST RUST FREE CAR we have
sold over the years, ut its still better then most out there for sale
or bondo-ed up to look restored.
I DONT KNOW WHATS UNDER THIS OLD PAINT JOB, nd it may have
had some repair work done yrs ago, ts just too hard to tell.
I can tell you though, f you look down the sides of this car on both
Sides, dont see tons of waves running down the body like some cars
there are a few bubbles starting near the rocker areas though.
So expect some rust on the car during repaint and some repairs over
the yrs. Its still so clean, f the car doesnt sell, m okay with that too
because Id love to keep it its that nice.
Also, f you buy a car thats been "restored", ho knows what sort
of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating.
People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are
fast, or a quick buck and quality suffers.
