Car description |
|---|
I bought this car from the neighbor of the original owner song who bought the car new in 1979 and kept it in the garage and drove it very sparingly throughout its life. This is very apparent to anyone who is familiar with these vehicles and knows their usual flaws. He passed away & his neighbor bought it @ the estate sale & sold it to me.
Exterior:
Chrome body molding : Retains the almost perfect thin chrome trim strips that seen to be unobtainable when restoring a car.
Black rubber exterior trim...Is unmarked & absolutely perfect.
Door Jambs/Rubber/Weatherstripping : All appear as close to new as you can imagine.
The rear fillers & front bumper fillers were replaced & painted correctly many years ago, but they are not brittle what so ever.
4 headlights are actually straight & correctly aligned. True 77-79 Deville fans understand how rare this is.
Undercarriage Is spotless & was undercoated In 1979...receipts are included.
The wiper blades retain the correct aluminum arms & rubber refills.
Rust on the bottom of doors ? There is none.
Power antenna functions ? Perfectly
Interior :
Cruise control? Functions like new.
R134 air-conditioning ? Ice cold and actually makes you want to lower the fan after a few minutes.
Heat ? The heater core is available & will work fine once installed.
Weatherstripping? Soft and supple.
The dashboard has the "usual" 2 cracks by the defroster outlets.
Headliner is intact but is sagging. It?s currently thumbtacked up.
All 4 original floor mats
Spotless Leather Seats. Always cleaned & conditioned.
AC Vents Sit Straight
Ignition lock is tight...the buzzer still buzzes to remind you that the key is in there.
Trip odometer works as intended.
Original Cadillac keys & dealership keychain.
All lighters & ashtrays never used.
Under Hood :
Under hood rubber and hoses soft and perfect.
Rubber Air Hose...uncracked & soft.
Factory Stickers
Blue Bolts on structure points.
Original key tags & all dealership paperwork...Window sticker/Etc...
Trunk :
Spotless...perfect weatherstripping & retains the correct Cadillac trunk mat.
Since I've owned it, I've :
Installed a New AC Delco Master Cylinder
New 225/75/R15 Hankook whitewall (1500 miles since new)
New Shocks
Changed Motor & Trans Oil less than 500 miles ago.
New under hood heat shield...Factory correct.
Windshield was replaced due to a minor crack.
New AC Compressor, New AC Delco Belt & 3Lbs Of R134.
Replaced the alternator w/an upgraded Powermaster model (higher amp than the Factory Delco) 12/17.
New Interstate Battery.
New Retrosound MP3 stereo...no cuts in dash & original am/fm 8 track Cb Radio is included.
The bad...
I disconnected the heater core last year. Was not an issue for me since I only drive it on sunny days.
The headliner is sagging (I thumb tacked it up a few years ago).
The vinyl top is showing it's age. Still shines up nice (Before/after difference shown in 1 picture)
The hood & trunk should be repainted if you're looking for a "perfect" 79. I've kept it clean & indoors, so it does shine up nice.
The roof & pillars were painted before I bought it.

I realize with this vehicle is I know from looking for them for many years they do not appear in this condition on a daily basis. From behind the wheel you would never realize this is a 40 year-old vehicle. It rides down the road as smooth as it did when it was six months old.
It stops like it should...smooth and evenly. It turns like a brand new car with even wherever on all four tires. When you're on the highway it downshifts and up shifts with no hint the transmission is even changing gears.
In the time that I've owned it stays in the garage.
You are welcome to come and inspect if you were seriously interested and will likely end up buying it if you have been looking for a cleaning on molested one. I have plenty of additional pictures and video if you do not see what you're looking for.
If your intentions are anything other than preserving it the way it is please do not tell me. This is a 40 year-old original vehicle and there are millions of them out there with Built up motors and otherwise Butchered. I prefer to leave this one the way it is. Pure 1979 !
The pictures aren't ancient either. Most are from August 2019 The oldest pic is from 10/15 at a Cadillac car show. The only show it's been in & it took 2nd place in it's class.
I?ve owned over 100+ cars in my 39 years. I haven't "flipped" a car since 2008, but do occasionally sell cars I've owned for years. This is a car I bought in 2015 & wouldn't mind some room in the garage right now, so here it is.
The wheels in the pictures are not included !!!
Cadillac offered Dunlop wire wheels from 1977-1979 if you wanted real wire wheels. From 1980-1991 they offered Appliance wire wheels on their RWD cars.These are the Dunlop wheels. I spent years & over $2000 finding them. They are mine !!!I will put the new tires on the original steel wheels w/original hubcaps shown in the last picture.
