Default New guy from So. Cal. with a '63 Coupe

Hey,my name's Matt and I come from a small town in the Inland Empire by the name of Yucaipa which is situated between Redlands and Palm Springs,just southeast of Big Bear.Anyways,through a lot of dealing and trading over the past 5 or so years,I finally ended up with one of my dream cars.I am now the owner of an all original 1963 Cadillac Coupe DeVille.This car has o rust,all poer options,factory AC still works and blows ice cold and the AM radio and all speakers still work.I think even the clock works.It's champagne paint job is starting to peel a little,but i'm planning a repaint anyways.The interior has minor staining,but no rips.The motor needs a valve job and some hardened valve seats,but that's necessity for me.New brakes and tires on it,and had a full tune up.Here's the kicker,it's only got 115K original miles.I have the history on it also..
