1977 CdV - 2x White w/Red Leather.

[Eric DeVirgilis CLC# 8621]

Appears to be an exceptional unmolested example. In less than a day of being been posted it already has already attracted 35 "watchers".   I suspect it will sell quickly if it's everything it appears to be. Not many true survivors in this rare & desirable color combination.

OK

Looks good but I am going to pick it apart ever so slightly and not to say the car looks pretty good. Also keep in mind pictures are hard to give a good accounting sometimes.

Chrome on the front looks cloudy, front strip where it says Cadillac to front bumper. Maybe the floor speckles showing up as a reflection?

Wrong stand up wreath ornament. Ok we can fix that.

Minor chip on front passenger edge over headlight.

Rear fillers redone minus the chrome tips.

Pin striping not done on rear fillers plus chrome looks slightly off. Speckles or whatever.

Front filler yellowed some. May be ready to crack??

Steering wheel wood grain missing a piece on left side on top.

Rug looks like faded a bit but seats look good. Is the red have some orange in it for 1977? I say faded look at drivers door panel rug and rug on floor.

Also ask about the headliner too a possible sagger.

Would like to see a shot underneath but probably no issues.

Now I am being overly picky. I say offer 8500 and settle for 9000 and you have a nice car.

The guy wanted 12,500 per one photo so if he is down to 9700 not sure what he paid for it. He may be ready to deal.

Red interior in 77 was a true ‘red’. I suspect this interior is actually ‘Saffron’,  more of an orange. A challenge to tell with images and lighting sometimes.

It's red trust me.   

As with any prospective purchases, an in person inspection is needed to determine how much sorting will be needed and the amount of difficulty entailed to do so. I like the fact the engine hasn't been subjected to the requisite rattle can as is usually the case when these cars are offered on eBay.

*Just spoke with the owner - Trim code 733 confirmed red leather. Car had some paintwork on the body sides unfortunately which is showing some deterioration. Seller indicated willingness to negotiate further so $9k ish is possible but some correction would be needed to take to a high level car.

I think the sorting appears minor but nothing screams at me to pay 9700 for this car unless prices are climbing.

Since you know there is always sorting from tires on up. So 9700 plus 750-1000 to ship then another 1000-1250 of sorting you are up to 12K so that is pushing it some. Maybe more. As I learned people do not spend money on other people.  To rephrase it if you are selling you are resistant to spend any money on a car you are selling. Some are so cheap as not to change the oil for years.

It better be almost mint cosmetically or I would pass. Cosmetic issues then would really put you upside down.

I can't find fault with the steering wheel except for the wood trim piece that runs across the spoke which are almost always cracked. Not an easy part to find but easily replaceable.

The rim itself has no cracks and the wood rim insert is not delaminated. That's a serious plus.

It makes you wonder that they would promote the car with images that are not a good representation of the color. If natural light would reflect the color more accurate...then that’s what should be done. I agree with the other comment about the color appearing faded. I’ve had a 77 with red leather...I know what it should look like.

In another interior shot the red looks much darker. So maybe it's just that shot with poor light.
