Who owned this Hearse?

[Custom Coffin Works]

A buddy of mine who works at a crematorium has a friend who closed his funeral home, he has 2 hearses & a limo for sale, I'll see if I can get info on the hearses for you. I know one is a Caddy & the other is a Buick.

Heading down to Tucson Friday to look at a 70. If not I would be interested in you friends Hearse.

He decided to keep it. The registration runs out this month. I offered him the $500 I guess a $500 hearse would be interesting to have.
Thanks for all the help though.

There is rust on the drip rails but did not look closer to the quarter panels. My expereance is that if you got rust up there, it's everywhere and with him just covering everything with black paint it kind of hides anything else. I didn't want to break out the magnet and start running the fenders. He claims the car originally came from Utah. The trim on the windshield is glued on due to the clips no longer working.
I tried for a 73 in Cali a few weeks back, but that fell through. I would love to get this 84 and chop the top like the Krgoyal caddy. I could deal with the motor issue, it's just all the other stupid little things that turn me off. I'll keep looking. But for $500.oo

If there is ZERO rust and all the sheet metal is very straight, I might go a little higher than $500, but not much. It sounds like you are going to have to put a ton of money in it to make it right.
I agree with Kaptin, wait for a better car. I like the older ones anyway.

$500 max, all hearses need repairs but that one has been neglected. It wasn't that bad when I saw it, the engine light was on & it had the lighting issue plus the damage in the rear from the accident, but the other stuff wasn't there.
Or wait for a better hearse, the only advantage to this hearse is it's newer & gets better mileage than mine as an example

So after meeting with the current owner, the following items are in need of attention. 1 very bad miss. He clams to have changed the spark plugs out but the miss is still there.2 Check engine light is on and flickers when you rev the engine. I think it is a lose wire somewhere. 3 Air conditioning is non functioning due to him needing more room to change plugs. He opened and removed a high pressure hose for better access. 4. Windshield cracked. Commercial Chassis glass to. 5. Front running lights are shorted out. 6. Front grill falling off. 7 No heater. 8. Interior is horrible, headlined is poorly installed and falling and the roller have been removed. 9. The only thing that takes your mind off of all these previous items is the New paint job. It seriously looks like a rhino spay liner. Cracking here there, everywhere. He's asking $2000.oo. He has not emission it since he got it from the guy in Mesa. He just bought it to have for Halloween. I think all these repairs would end up costing more than the car is worth. What do you think Derick?

Good Luck

I'm meeting with the new owner tomorrow to see what kind of price he wants. Right now it's not looking too good. There always more fish in the sea I guess.

Thanks

I sent an Email to the previous owner to contact you.
Before he sold it I located a new rear bumper for his car but funds prevented him from buying it plus he said that he wanted a shop to fix the car which increases the cost even more.

This guy painted the entire car flat black. It looks like he used a tooth brush to do it. Roof and body but not the jams. Then he put's 13" wires on it. AGH! The check engine light is on, windshield cracked and damage to the right rear bumper. A fixer upper to say the least.

That's what it is coming down to, sawsall, jigsaw, plasma cutter or a pick axe, something to make a hole when the time comes.

I will send him a message with your Email address.

It's a slow project, the new motor is to tall so now I need to modify the hood. I

I got a sawsall! We could do some surgery.

It's a slow project, the new motor is to tall so now I need to modify the hood. I ordered the new aluminum under drive pulley's & new style sealed water pump today, so hopefully by end of next week, the motor will be ready for install.

The car used to be pink, I know who owned it, he lives in Tempe.

I would love to talk to the previous owner. Can you alert him of this message?

Thanks.

PS. Hows your hearse doing?
