Please help.  I need and would like to purchase the following parts for my 1979 Cadillac Coup Deville:
- An air intake hose
- A trunk activator and/or actuator
- A set of outside Opera lights
Please let me know if you are able to help.
Also, feel free to send information, gregrnkemail addresses not permitted

Greg,
I parted out a 79 coupe years ago but I believe I saved the opera lamps.  I will look for them today and let you know.

Greg,
I couldn't find the opera lamps,  at least not yet, but I did find a trunk pull down motor and the trunk release solenoid with the latch assembly.  I don't have the cable to the pull down as I recall it was damaged. 
I have tested both the motor and the solenoid though and they work fine. That's why I had kept them in the first place.
Let me know if you are interested.

Rick

Pictures attached.

Sorry for the late response Rick.  Thank you for looking for lamps.  I would like to buy the trunk release solenoid from you.  I am new to this forum.  How can I purchase solenoid from you?  By any chance, did you have the air intake hose?  This is the hose that goes from the carburetor cover to the front of the car near the headlights. 

Feel free to call/text me at 708-525-8972.

Hi Greg,

I have a '77 sedan with the hose on it,  but I'm not parting it out.  It's a complete running car.
And I don't remember if the '79 had the same hose as the '77 does.

I know I have a hose in my engine stuff,  but I'm not sure what car it came from. 

Do you know what yours looks like, does it have snap clamps on each end or is it an all plastic accordion style hose?

I need to look at the one I have again and see what type it is. I'll try to do that in the morning and I'll let you know what it is.

Greg,
  I got a picture of what I have as far as the intake hose goes. I don't think it's what you want.

I also got a shot of the one on my 77 so if you don't know what it's supposed to look like this might help. That is if the 77 and 79 are the same.

Greg,

I was digging through some stuff today and I finally found the opera lamps I have. I'd given up on finding them, I thought I had imagined that I saved them.
But here they are. Let me know if you are still interested.

Greg,(s),
The ones I have I know came off of a 79 Coupe Deville.  The numbers are 5933891/2. What you're showing looks like the Sedan Deville lamps, I think. I not familiar with all the different ones that custom shops installed.
