Description

For sale is my 1957 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 60 sedan hardtop. odometer reads 44817. The car has been sitting for years. The last inspection sticker is from 1982 in PA. It needs a complete restoration. I never had the title, ut it is not too hard to get a title for something this old. Or it can be a parts car with many very rare parts, ut it would be nice to see it redone.
The body is fairly solid overall. The only major rust is at the bottom of the rear doors, he front hood lip, he spare tire area, nd some of the front floor pans. Other then that it is pretty solid and straight. The bumpers are solid. There are a couple of small trim pieces missing, ut it is mostly complete. It is definitely a great restoration project car, nd not completely rusted out. All glass is intact. It has the gas cap under the rear tail light which is really cool. Some of the door hinges/latches stick and need to be freed up. Also someone broke into the trunk so the lock cylinder is missing but it still latches.
The interior has most of the trim pieces and other rare parts, ut it does need to be restored. Door panels are in bad condition but I think they are all there. The car had power windows; some moved slowly, ome didn't do anything. Radio still powered on but speakers are shot so I cant say if it worked properly. Seats are there but in poor shape. Overall it is mostly complete but needs to be redone.
The original engine was locked up and I had removed it with the plan of swapping in a 500 caddy engine. So the old drivetrain is removed, ut I do still have the original transmission and engine block (it it currently disassembled to assess it, nd would need a complete rebuild) to go with the car if you want them. I still have the original radiator and steering pump, s well as some other original engine parts. Most of the original wiring is still intact and hasn't been modified. But it is ready to drop a new engine in and go. Previous owner said they rebuilt the master cylinder and the brake cylinders. The tires are shot and only hold air for a couple of hours. But it did roll smoothly when I towed it home on a dolly.
Overall it is a fairly solid car and a great restoration candidate. Get a replacement title and drop a new drivetrain in and you have an awesome car. Or use it for the parts, ut it would be a shame to waste it like that in my opinion. It will need to be moved on a rollback or full car trailer as the tires do not hold air for long. It is sold as is, nd it is a project car. But if completed it will be a beautiful cruiser again. Local pickup offered, uyer must arrange any shipping. I am not parting it out. Thanks for looking.
