Description for Cadillac Fleetwood 1961

YAZTEC AUTOMOTIVE IS PROUD TO OFFER THIS RUST-FREE 1961 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD SERIES 75 LIMOUSINE IN AN AMAZING ORIGINAL CONDITION FOR SALE. WE PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE FROM AN ESTATE AS PART OF COLLECTION OF 5 CADILLACS RANGING FROM A 1959 COUPE TO 1976 EL DORADO IN SOUTH CAROLINA. THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A CADILLAC COLLECTOR. THESE 5 CARS WERE PARKED IN A STORAGE AND HAD NOT SEEN DAYLIGHT SINCE 1982. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED ON MARCH 1, 1982 WITH 66,095 MILES...BY THE LAST OWNER AND STILL SHOWS THE SAME (SEE PHOTO OF THE TITLE). THE SOUTH CAROLINA WINDOW INSPECTION STICKER SHOWS THE CAR WAS LAST INSPECTED IN 82-83 AND THE TAG RENEWED UNTIL FEBRUARY 1985 (SEE PHOTO). PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS SHOWING THEM PARKED SIDE BY SIDE WITH A TON OF DUST ON THEM. WE WERE TOLD THAT THESE CARS WERE STARTED AND ALLOWED TO RUN REGULARLY. WHEN WE BOUGHT THIS CAR, THE TIRES WERE VERY DRY. WE PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES SO WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR TO BE LOADED. THE VEHICLE ROLLS WITH EASE. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE CAR RAN LAST YEAR BY DISCONNECTING THE FUEL PUMP FROM THE FUEL LINE (ASSUMING THE GAS TANK HAD OLD AND JUNK FUEL IN IT), GRAVITY FED THE CARBURETOR AND STARTED THE ENGINE. WE DID THE SAME. THE ENGINE TURNED NICELY AND STARTED. WE WILL ALLOW IT TO RUN ABOUT 20 SECONDS. THE FUTURE OWNER MUST NOT ATTEMPT TO TRY STARTING IT AGAIN UNTIL ALL FLUIDS WERE DRAINED, GAS TANK AND FUEL LINES CLEANED, ETC. ALL LIGHTS WORKED SO NO PROBLEM WITH WIRING HARNESS. WE ARE SELLING THIS VEHICLE AS A NON DRIVING VEHICLE THAT MUST BE TOWED. WE HAVE A CLEAR SOUTH CAROLINA TITLE FOR THE CADILLAC, THE ORIGINAL MANUALS, AND ORIGINAL KEYS. PLEASE READ THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION BELOW AND VIEW THE 82 HIGH QUALITY IMAGES PRIOR TO BIDDING. WE DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO A LIFT. THEREFORE, NO UNDER-CARRIAGE PHOTOS. PLEASE DON'T ASK ABOUT THEM. WE ENCOURAGE ALL INTERESTED BIDDERS TO INSPECT THIS VEHICLE IN PERSON OR HAVE IT INSPECTED BY A THIRD PARTY PRIOR TO AUCTION END.
