Description of 1962 Cadillac Series 62 BUCKET SEATS

SORRY FOR ALL CAPS BUT IM POSTING FROM MY PHONE AND ITS THE ONLY WAY I CAN SEE THE TEXT. FUNNY STORY, I HAVE HERE A MIDLIFE CRISIS CONVERTIBLE I BOUGHT A FEW YEARS AGO WITH THE INTENTION BUT NOT THE AMBITION TO RESTORE. IT WAS AN OLDER RESTORATION THAT WAS ROAD WORTHY WHEN I BOUGHT RIGHT BEFORE A PRETTY WOMAN LED ME TO AN UGLY DIVORCE. SO HERE I WAS DRIVING AROUND AND ENJOYING IT (THE CAR I MEAN NOT THE GIRL) BUT I SHOULD HAVE LEFT BOTH DAMN WELL ALONE. I TOOK THE CADDY APART WITH SOME FRIENDS ONE NIGHT AFTER CONSUMING ENOUGH ALCOHOL AND OTHER STUFF THAT WOULD MAKE TAKING APART A CAR SOUND LIKE A GOOD IDEA. THIS WAS ABOUT 7 YEARS AGO, MAYBE 8. SO HERE WE ARE NOW, A COUPLE OF KIDS LATER WITH A TOTALLY DIFFERENT WOMAN AND I REALLY NEED THIS CAR OUT OF MY FACE. I REALIZE EVEN THOUGH I KNOW HOW TO DO IT, I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME OR THE INCLINATION TO FIX IT.

THE GOOD: THIS ROLLING CADILLAC PROJECT HAS A CLEAN TITLE, AN ENGINE THAT TURNS, AND IS 99 PERCENT COMPLETE AND 90 PERCENT SOLID. THE FRAME IS SOLID, A LITTLE SURFACE RUST BUT NO HOLES. NEEDS FLOOR PANS AND ROCKERS BUT SHEET METAL IS AVAILABLE FOR UNDER 1000 BUCKS IF YOURE GOOD WITH A WELDER (I AM NOT) MOST CHROME IS GOOD. NEWER CONVERTIBLE HYDROLICS. COMES WITH EXTRA P/S FENDER, SHOP MANUAL AND CD, EXTRA PARTS. NO RESERVE AUCTION I JUST WANT IT GONE. THE SEATS ARE WHITE WITH RED PIPING AND NO TEARS. THEY ARE IN DECENT SHAPE. THIS CAR WAS ACTUALLY ON THE ROAD A FEW SHORT YEARS AGO. NEW BATTERY AND CAR COVER INCLUDED.
THE BAD/UGLY: WONT TURN WITH IGNITION SWITCH. IF I JUMP THE STARTER SELENOID THE ENGINE TURNS SO I KNOW IT ISNT STUCK. SO EITHER THE SELENOID IS SHOT (NEW SELENOID INCLUDED) OR THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDS REPLACING. BODY NEEDS ATTENTION OBVIOUSLY..BOTH FENDERS, QUARTER PANELS IN FRONT OF WHEELS, ETC. THE DOOR PANELS NEED RESTORATION AS WELL.

THE SEATS ARE IN STORAGE I WILL TRY TO PULL THEM OUT AND TAKE PICS BUT LIKE I SAID THEY ARE IN DECENT SHAPE WITH NO TEARS.
SO IF YOU CANT TELL, IM BRUTALLY HONEST. THIS ISNT A BEGINNER RESTORATION CAR. YOURE NOT DRIVING THIS HOME. YOURE NOT PICKING THIS UP AND HAVING IT RESTORED FOR 5K (UNLESS ITS YOUR BUDDY/FAMILY). IT IS AT LEAST 10-20K IN RESTORATION WORK, DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU LIVE AND LABOR RATES. THERE IS PROBABLY 6K IN PARTS IF YOU WANTED TO BREAK IT DOWN.
I WILL TRY TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS PROMPTLY. YOU CAN TEXT ME AT 201 500 8239 TOO. IM JUSTIN.

THE CAR IS BEING SOLD WITH NO RESERVE. I WILL MOST LIKELY CANCEL YOUR BID IF YOU HAVE UNDER 5 FEEDBACK. I HONESTLY DONT CARE IF IT SELLS FOR 100 OR 100000. I NEED IT GONE. BUT IF A NON PAYING BIDDER SCREWS IT UP FOR ME AND SOMEONE WHO COULD SHOW THIS CADDY A LITTLE LOVE...WELL, I HAVE A PARTICULAR SET OF SKILLS, SKILLS THAT I HAVE ACQUIRED OVER A LONG CAREER. SKILLS THAT HAVE MADE ME A NIGHTMARE FOR PEOPLE LIKE THAT. SO DONT SCREW WITH THE AUCTION.

THANKS FOR READING!
