CALIFORNIA 1964 CADILLAC SUPERIOR CROWNE HEARSE - $6964 (Long Beach)

Up and available now is this super rare, hard to find, California dream car... 1964 CADILLAC SUPERIOR CROWNE END LOADING HEARSE with just over 100,000 miles.. Its been in California all of its life. Ive known the previous owners of this car for over the past 15 years and have seen it grow, bloom and falter... My friend passed away about 10 years ago and the car has sat, only to be over grown by trees and weeds. I was able to get the car out, have the gas tank flushed, new fuel lines, rebuild the carburetor, mild tune-up, then replace the fly wheel then completely rebuild the "TURBO-400" transmission ( less then 50 miles ago..) and have the DMV fees caught up and current.. Then spent a full day scrubbing it down vacuuming it and waxing it.. "SHES ALIVE" This 64 Cadillac actually runs and feels tighter then my 59 Cadillac Superior and handles great with no clunking or bushing issues.. Starts right up and just gooos!! The body is solid with no rot or rust.. Door close and open nice, the curved glass is beautiful for a 50 year old hearse.. Yes, some of the "FLAT GLASS" could use replacing but, thats the easy stuff.. Front seat and carpets were redone 15 years ago and still holds up nice and solid... This is in no way a "MINT CAR" but, an original solid driver... Yes, the center passenger door is damaged by a tree when parked years ago but, is very much repairable... A lot of the chrome was removed and stored away in which I have... Some did get lost. I do have the chrome strips from prior parts cars that can be cut down to be fitted to the Superior Crowne..

I can go on and on but, Im not going to... I was going to hang onto it but, I have other urgent car needs that need to be addressed.. Im offering this Original solid California 1964 Cadillac Superior hearse for only.. $6964.00 Yes, thats the price.. "NO" I will "NOT TAKE TRADES" This is a CASH ONLY DEAL!!

Contact me direct at... 562-THREE-THREE/five, 9427.... From 9Am till 11Pm daily... If your in the market for other HEARSE PARTS, GLASS or even MOVIE CASKETS, contact me for sure, I can help you... Dont let this killer deal get picked up by someone else... Call me! RONNY

Recognized seller from writing prose before even reading that far into ad. Fair price for a Crown. '63 - '64 Superior doors interchange so coming up with another (if necessary) shouldn't prove terribly difficult. They're not Crown specific (change is from waist up) although another regularly hinged would make swapping much easier.

Should be noted from looking at the pictures, such that they are, the Coach appears to have both Power Windows and Air Conditioning rare in the day. I agree with Atti it will need a door that one will straiten but will end up wavy without more labor than its worth. Looks like a great car.

I know this coach very well and have ridden in it many times. At that price, it is indeed a steal.

6 to 1 half dozen to the other on the door. cost and shipping might just fix this one. but if you could drive next door check it out, pick it up your self? guse geting one with out damage to repair is not easy. if this one is not rusted out on the bottom or corners it's a easy fix. the only way to tell if your pro car has been repaired is, if it has a straight panel. thats the one that got fixed. finding a handle with out getting the door now that might be a challenge. from the angle it hard to say if this one is damaged or not.

FYI Door without top parts (frame glass etc.) will ship for reasonable money VIA Greyhound Bus have used them for Console radios, Trasmissions,and sheet metal they even swallowed an 77 Olds Cutlass hood.

one hundred bucks on the hound and about a week. plus what the yard wanted for the door and packing. plus the cost of repairing the used door when you get it. I have never seen a new part that did not need repaired let a lone a used one been in the yard 30 years. then there is that typical rust statement.

been there done that, had it work once or twice to. like I said it is probably a wash. if this one is solid I would fix it before I would take a chance on one I never got to see first. but thats me
