1966 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 4-door Sedan on 2040-cars

The BAD

The brakes are very soft and need work.

The body at one point was painted sky blue and then when it started flaking, was painted over in places with house paint and a roller. On a lighter note, whoever roller painted the car ended up painting over the chrome trim in a few spots which actually helped protect it.

Although the body is solid and primarily rust free, the rear doors and quarters have bondo work covering over wavy sheetmetal (prior owners must have rubbed the back side of the car against quite a few garage posts in it's life).

The front grille and bumper center are cracked up in quite a few spots and are trash.  The bumper corners are solid though and can be straightened out.  A replacement center bumper is included and in the trunk as well as a straight lower passenger front bumper corner (just not pictured).

The rear bumper was total trash beyond repair and removed. So, there is no rear bumper at all.  The lower valance panel under the bumper is included and in the trunk. I also have a good used rear center bumper I will include (not pictured).

Exhaust piping was rotted and was removed, so no exhaust system beyond the manifolds.

The HVAC piping from the front to rear was missing.  I purchased a full set of the a/c hoses (specific to 75s) for the front and rear as well as the pipe ends for all pipes.  Just braze the pipe end with fittings to some new straight copper tubing for all the hot water and a/c lines to be back together. All the a/c lines and copper pipes are in the trunk.

The interior seats are dried up and need to be fully reupholestered.  The foam is turning to dust and the silk cloth is shredded.  The worst door panel is the driver side front needing some cardboard panel work and the armrest redone.  The rest are pretty nice and one I cleaned up and restored in dark blue (rear driver side shown in pics) Lots of the chrome trim in and round the car just has dirt and baked on dust but is very bright and clean once cleaned! Little pitting.

Known missing parts :  Antenna, rear bumper corners, master window switch and relay, inside rearview mirror, 1 front fender extension, a/c condenser, level ride compressor, a/c compressor, side body trim.  There are other missing bits but are common and not 75 specific.

Dashpad is missing in the interior pics as the original was shattered beyond restoration BUT I am including one with minimal cracking and a good dashpad sensor grille on it.  I can add a pic if requested.

Overall, the car is definately worth saving.  It WILL require a good amount of work but it's a very solid base to work with and a rare and beautiful one year only body style. Otherwise, it's an excellent parts car with tons of unique, rare parts.  I could easily part it out for triple the starting bid. Hell, the running 429 engine is worth the opening bid alone.  I sell Cadillac parts here on eBay and have been for many years.  If you're the winning bidder and want to purchase other parts for this car or any other Cadillac you have, you can contact me and we can put together a package deal so that I can just load the additional parts in the car rather than having them shipped separately.

Now for the terms...

The car is in used condition, accurately described and is sold for PARTS or RESTORATION ONLY.  It is not new, restored or in currently driveable condition!  It is sold in AS IS condition and the sale is FINAL.  Ask any and all questions BEFORE placing a bid!

$500 deposit via Paypal is due immediately upon winning the bid.  The remainder can be paid in cash on pickup or via Paypal in 7 days.  Deposit is NOT refundable! You will lose the deposit if you don't pay in full for the car within 7 days of auction close! I don't care if you changed your mind, your wife is giving you the stink eye, you can't figure out how to get it shipped Denmark, you realize it won't fit into your 10x16 garage etc. 

The car must be picked up in North Massapequa, NY within 7 days of the auction's end.  All arrangements to pick up the car must be made by the BUYER.  That includes towing/flatbedding the car and transportation to it's final destination (home, business, shipping terminal etc).  Be advised, the car is 21 feet long and will need a long flatbed.  It can NOT be driven by any means from this location so don't expect to bring gas/battery and a tool box, start it up and roll.  For all intentions and purposes, the brakes are NOT functioning.  If you need a little more time to arrange a pickup, you must let me know in advance!  As long as the car is fully paid for, I can keep it here a little while longer (by little while, I mean maybe another few days to a week, not months).
