This one is listed at Classic Promenade (Harry Clark), and it's another one that impresses. My sense is that the description is honest and quite complete. The clock doesn't work...  ;) But the antenna and the air conditioning do work.

Is there a CLC member with one of these, in better shape than this one, who doesn't have at least $50 K invested in it?

Pretty but its an entry model asking CDV money.  Also I have a personal issue when folks say #2 and this or that doesnt work.  That pushes it to a nice high 3.  At 2 everything should work and you shouldnt notice any minor discrepancies.

Generally post war convertibles had "deville" trim level but designated as "series 62" until 1964.

Cars are selling at premium numbers with little concern what actually works and what does not.

Its a nice car I'm not knocking it just seems a little on the high side.  Just an opinion from someone whos been collecting for some time.  Thats all.

Harry Clark does a fine job of marketing cars--- he's a broker whose enthusiasm is contagious, and he appears to feature very well cared for luxury models. Based on very limited experience having sold four of my cars through the internet, my purchasers always expressed disappointment with relatively minor stuff that I did not bother to fix.  I always made careful note of these items before the sale, and I always had my cars inspected and evaluated by local Cadillac service departments. I venture to say that purchasing a car without a personal inspection and test drive is usually problematic, and I agree with TIm, that having everything functioning "feels" morally correct given Harry's  glorious presentation.   James

A Coupe deVille would be worth significantly less than a Series 62 convertible which also cost more than a CdV when new.

For all practical purposes the Series 62 convertible was a "DeVille" in all but name and in 1964 the model was repositioned into the DeVille series although the body style number "6267" was retained.

My memory may be hazy but the highest sale price of a 1963 Series 62 convertible that I'm aware of was in the $80k range. The car was completely original right down to the tires and belts which had repeating "Cadillac" scripts printed on them. The car was sold around 10 years ago with under 10,000 miles and highly optioned. Colors were silver, black roof with black leather.

I always say asking ain't selling to use poor vernacular.

I love how dealers always say: 

"A great cruiser!"
"Great for local shows!"
"Go get ice cream with the kids."
"Fantastic project car."

As if we dont do the obvious already....

The very definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
