    To all of you guys who get tired of trolling craigslist, trying to find a gold nugget among the turds, I give you this little gem that i picked up friday afternoon in Omaha.

    1962 Coupe Deville. Solid 390 Caddy motor with a very solid jetaway tranny still in it. Every electric switch works, everything in the drivetrain works, even the AIR CONDITIONING works! And i got it for..... (well... let's just say that it was so cheap that i ain't sayin')

    Sure, the guy put crappy wheels on it, but i have old school 15x7 chrome reverses coming for it with some sweet white walls and 3 bar spinners in the middle, and yes, he put glass packs with side exits on it, which i am changing over to full out the back units....

    but this car is so nice, i got in it, drove it home friday night and have not been driving anything else since... excuse the dust.

    Keep looking on craigslist!!!! now and then a REAL car at a great price really does come along.

    Have a great fourth!

    How do you search Craig's list?
    I'd like to learn how to search more than just one area at a time?
    Any advice?
    Thanks
    Jim

    That's a good question! I was always searching 'cadillac' 'cadillac custom' 'cadillac lowrider'... and then I just typed in 'coupe deville' and it showed up. I guess my advice is to make a LONG list of ways you could search for what you really want and you might find it hidden in the craigslist brain trust somehow. Good Luck.

    Hi Jim, I use Search Tempest for that, it works pretty well.

    Nice Score!

    Yep... first, tighten up the steering box a little, front discs to make it stop better, duals out the back, fix a few air door issues on the A/C and get the chrome reverses and vogues on it (i know, but i like the little gold stripe on the sidewall) and then we bag it to the ground....... stay tuned.

    My dad had a '62 black sedan deville, my grand dad had a tan one - no better riding car in the world. Please repost pixs when you change the wheel/tires.

    Congrats Trailer Guy, good score on craigslist.
    I've a 60 Cadillac Coupe and it rides and drives awesome - I'm sure you'll be lovin' your land yacht too - so long as you can continue to afford the gas.
    Shame about the wheels, but as you say, you're onto that already.

    What a score! I love that year, other than a riviera I don't think there is a better early sixties car.

    Nice find. Can't wait to see it when you are done with your planned mods. I normally search by year. Start at 1928 and work my way up to 1965.

    Jim,
    http://zoomthelist.com/

    is another good site, you can tailor your searches to certain area's or search the whole craigslist.

    62 Caddy is Nice!!!
     
  28. I just search the local area, but in a specific year or car name, also words like custom, chopped, rod, etc.
