Leif in Calif Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Interesting ambitious project...I'd be OK with the later engine, but not all the work it needs! https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/d/san-rafael-1947-cadillac-seriers-62/7761377075.html This is a non running project car. It belonged to my (now deceased) uncle and I am selling it on behalf of his trust for his niece. He owned it my entire life and always intended to fix it up but never got the chance. It comes with all the parts he collected for it over the years plus some original manuals and other misc. stuff. The body seems to be in quite good shape with only surface rust and the dent on the front left fender (see pic) being the worst of it. As near as I can tell, the engine is not the original flathead and is actually from 1949 or so. The tires actually held air, but they are pretty much done for. I reported the mileage on the odometer but cannot vouch for it. If you are interested in this vehicle you probably know more about it than I do so you should probably be pretty serious before you reach out (meaning you have the cash to buy it and the means to transport it and you are interested in doing so). email; f2fb851acce83da8a380e34f3f7e94ee@sale.craigslist.org 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theconvertibleguy Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) I bet it'd look good when it's done, but that looks like a LOT of work. A lot of expensive work. For 5-10k sure. 25k they're dreaming.

Leif in Calif Posted June 29 Author Share Posted June 29 Good to see they blocked the decades old license plate belonging to someone deceased who probably never had current tags. You can't be too careful! P.S. in California, this data is very secure. Even police officers can't just randomly look up a plate. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrudy Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 This will be a beautiful car when the restoration is completed, but the cost will be astronomical. I had all of the chrome done on my car 12 years ago, I cannot imagine what the cost would be at today's prices to have all that bright work redone.

I suppose once a convertible is restored by a knowledgeable collector such as a CLC member, they don’t degrade. They stay nice which lends itself to inventory when the time comes to sell.
