1968 Cadillac DeVille

Cadillac DeVille (1968)
for sale

Price: US $15,500.00

Description:

I am selling my Caddy. This is a 1968 Coupe DeVille 2 Dr. Hardtop. Original 87k miles. It has the original owner's manual as well as the protecto plate. This car spent its entire life in the state of Wyoming. Still has the WY sticker. NO RUST!!! I purchased it about 4 years ago and have done a few modifications to it. I put some nice Cragar SS wheels, but
I still have the original wheels and hubcaps
. I installed a wood rim steering wheel, but I still have the original. I installed a newer CD player under the dash, but it can be easily removed. The original AM radio still works. Every option in the car still works with the exception of the clock. It will cost approximately $200 to have it rebuilt.I had the engine examined by a professional mechanic and replaced a few rocker arms, a bearing on the AC unit, wiper motor (NOS) and a few misc items that needed attention. I have over $3000 in receipts for parts and labor. Tires are like new, battery is new, brakes are still in great shape (had them inspected). Car is always garaged and covered.The original color of the car is gold, but it has been repainted green. I had the doors and the inside panels re-upholstered in black vinyl while keeping some of the original colors. They look great.
Power seats work, so do all the lights, switches, etc...Including the auto high beam shut off.
I replaced the weatherstrip on the trunk, the rest of the rubber on the car is in great shape.
This car gets a lot of attention and has a lot of power. It has the 472 cu in with 525ft/lb torque and 374hp.
Paint is very good. Interior has been redone and new carpet installed.
I was planning to change to dual exhaust and I have purchased a set of dual Borla tailpipes ($500 included in the sale), I have not installed them because when I do, the next buyer may not like the type of muffler sound I chose. I am leaving it to the new buyer to put the muffler of their choice.
I have over $15000 in this car and the only reason I am selling it is space. It is 19ft long and taking up a lot of space in my garage. I enjoyed it with my family on various cruises and I am hoping it will find a new home. If you look the value in Haggerty, you will see how they are continuing to rise. A #1 Caddy is over $22K. This is not a #1 car, but definitely a #2 condition car.
I have other pics if you are interested. I can be reached at the contact info above.
Classic, muscle, american, pimp mobile or mobster car...this car combines all of them :)
I tried to describe this as best as I can. Keep in mind that this vehicle is 47 years old. I took it on a 400 mile trip last year and it didn't miss a beat. It is not perfect but a great high quality driver. Starts right up, idles smooth. No smoke, no leaks.
I will arrange or help with shipping. I expect a $500 deposit as soon as the auction closes, $100 of it non refundable. I will pick you up at the airport in Grand Rapids.I can be contacted at 616-six 10 - 617 two.
I am not interested in any trades and I am not interested in getting paid more than my asking price for my trouble. I will accept good old fashioned CASH, Paypal + fee or Bank Wire.
