For sale is a silver 1980 Cadillac Coupe Deville with a gray interior. The odometer reads 128k miles. This car is being sold for
restoration or parts as the car is not currently road-worthy (buyer will need a flat bed truck to collect vehicle).

The bad:
--------
The brakes are currently not functioning properly and the frame has severe rust at the 2 rear body bolt access holes. The car will need a new
frame section spliced in or a body-off-frame restoration. The body has some small rust spots in the fenders and A-pillars.

The good:
---------
This car has a 500 cubic inch (8.2L) engine from a 1975 Deville with only 49k miles of use. The engine runs great and was a drop-in replacement for the original 6L engine. It mounts to a the original TH-400 transmission which was rebuilt a few years ago.

The body is straight with no dents. The vinyl top was redone in 2005. The car was loaded for its day and has power everything. The car is complete, just needs some sweat equity and TLC to bring her back. Many other trim pieces and restoration parts will be included in the sale.
The title is clean and available for transfer.

I truly hope that this car will go to someone who can restore her or use her to save another vintage Caddy. Best offer will be taken.

Thanks,
David Matusik
