1979 Cadillac Coupe deVille Only 16,000 Actual Miles Gorgeous Atlantis Aqua with Matching Leather Still has Original GR78X15 TPC Spec Radials Fitted!! Just Fully Serviced and Inspected Rare Opportunity............................LOW RESERVE Possibly the Nicest on the Planet!! Greetings to All!! imotors is quite pleased to offer possibly the nicest 1979 Cadillac Coupe deVille Available anywhere! 1979 was the Last year for this ever so popular three year body style!! This was the first attempt by GM to "Downsize" which debuted in 1977!! I remember like it was yesterday.....and I was horrified!!! Caddy's were supposed to be BIG, ike the 76 and down models. This wasn't happening!?!? Well, ast forward 36 years, nd it doesn't seem so small anymore! Actually, his is still a rather large car, ND it is 100% CADILLAC. I think it is simply fantastic!!! Cadillac lovers(like me!) everywhere get weak in the knees when one like this becomes available. An original, ow mileage example that is in Gorgeous condition! Examples like this one are unheard of! Most have over 200 Thousand miles by now, nd are still going strong. This Coupe deVille is basically an original one owner car. It was purchased new by a shoe maker in western Ohio, nd not driven much. It spent it's life mostly outside on a hard surface so the underneath did not suffer at all. What DID suffer was the paint. GM cars of this era typically have flaky, eely paint. Especially the heavy metallic colors. A very close friend, ho just retired from the classic car business knew of this Cadillac for several years, nd tried to buy it with no success. When it finally became available, e did a guy he knew(another dealer) a favor, nd "let" him buy it for personal use. This fellow did all of the mechanicals such as the complete brake system, resh exhaust, nd new belts and hoses. He also installed new body fillers. At this time, e apparently fell on hard times, nd could not finish with the restoration. He owed my Classic car dealer friend money, hich he did not have, nd gave him the car for payment. About a year ago, just happened to stop by and visit my friend. As he ALWAYS has cool cars, was checking out the inventory, nd stumbled across the Aqua Coupe deVille. WHAT.....Only 16,000 actual miles...All Original......needs paint......my kind of car.....How much???? Well, fter some small talk, went home with it....and my dream started!!!! This 1979 Coupe deVille was totally cosmetically original!!!! All of the paint, hat was left of it, as applied at the factory when new. The flats(hood, runk, nd roof) were the worst!! I originally decided to add a pinstripe along the body line, nd just paint the flat surfaces, n an attempt to keep the car as original as possible. My good friend and expert bodyman removed the hood, nd stripped it to bare metal, long with the roof and the trunk lid. After many many conversations, e all decided it would be in everyone's best interest to paint the entire car, o it would be all one color, ith NO chance of mis-matched colors. I brought the car back to my place, nd removed ALL of the chrome and stainless!! I took everything off, o there would be NO CHANCE of overspray anywhere. Door handles and locks, long with rocker and wheel opening moldings. All of the headlamp trim, nd trim on the trunk were removed, long with the emblems and bumper ends.The only things that were not removed were the moldings around the vinyl roof. After it was painted, olorsanded and buffed, t went out for detail...WITHOUT the chrome!!! I did install the door handles and locks, long with the door mirrors, o I could re-assemble the doors. Once it returned, cleaned and polished the rest if the trim before installation. The result of many many months of tedious work is what you see in the photos below! This is one GORGEOUS Cadillac that anyone would be proud to own! The paint job came out Amazing!!! The chrome and brightwork are just beautiful, ith no pitting anywhere! Everything works as it should with the exception of the station display in the radio. The clock displays correctly, ut I cannot get it to switch to station frequency, lthough it works perfectly along with the optional 8 track player. All power equipment works as designed, ncluding the power antenna, nd Ice Cold A/C that is still charged with R12 freon. As mentioned above, t has a complete new braking system, long with fresh belts and hoses. I changed the oil and filter with fresh "Brad Penn" oil that contains zinc! I have been advised by MANY to leave the original tires on the car. This means that it is NOT able to be driven long distances, ue to 36 year old tires. I did locate a 3/4" whitewall tire, ize P205/75R15 at the local tire shop. These are available, t new owners choice for $300.00 including mounting and balancing. This will give the new owner the choice as to what kind/size tires they want!! As with all classic and collectable cars, ur Gorgeous 1979 Cadillac Coupe deVille is being sold without warranty. It has a clean Pa. title that reads actual mileage. Take a look at the 60 photographs below and see the actual pristine condition of this One of A Kind Coupe deVille. By bidding you agree to all terms set forth below. Good Luck with Your Bidding!! Our Atlantis Aqua Cadillac is Amazing!! The paint is just Gorgeous!! Note how nice and straight!!! The 1979 Caddys were the last model year for this ever so popular body style! Note the reflection in both the paint and the chrome!! Note the reflection The problematic rear bumper fillers have been replaced and look fantastic! There was no damage or rust to the body. It just needed fresh paint! Optional remote passenger mirror! . It looks pretty much the same as it did in 1979! Note the front fillers under the headlamps are black....just as they were in 1979! None of the typical cracks here!! Rustproofed when new!! The sumptuous leather interior is in fantastic condition and is certainly commensurate with the low mileage and excellent care our Gorgeous Coupe deVille has seen throughout its 35 year life. The leather is totally original with no dying done anywhere. Even the carpets look like they have never been stepped on. No cracks on the dash pad! I believe that the headliner has been replaced at some time. Engine bay is nice and crisp, ndicating low mileage and minimal use!!
