1969 Cadillac Sedan DeVille

1969 DeVille, 2nd owner, 70,000 original miles. $1400

Good running car. Just replaced all the front brakes (new pads, rotors and calipers) at a cost of over $500. Brakes will need to be bled before driving. New power steering cooler installed.

Typical lower front fender rust but otherwise solid.

Will need a full resto or just drive it as a rat. Its a good driver but by no means a perfect car.

Selling to fund another project, otherwise it would stay.

Located in Mullica Hill, NJ near Philadelphia

Man will these babies do doughnuts for hours. It was a High school thing a long time ago. Thank goodness for Faternal Order of Police bumper stickers!!!

eh heh heh,

jim, what did you buy now?

i dream of a maaco two-tone paint job (black up top, OE color on the sides) with 22"ers, drive it all summer, then flip it for 2.5x investment to some hood-rat "in da 313" (that's detroit for the rest of the world).

No 22s but I have a set of old school Tru Spoke wire wheels that I might be convinced to let go with it ;) It will put it in nice with the lowrider crowd.

$1400 anyone?

I don't know how anybody could be pro-pedestrian safety when fins look that good! Good luck on the sale, I've been trying to talk my girlfriend into getting an early 70s/late 60s Caddy but she's a real stick in the mud about it. They're a lot of fun, hard not to smile in a ride like that and smooth as silk on the road!

plenty of room for a diesel swap and WVO conversion in this beast!

A friend of mine wanted my spare Cadillac to put a Caterpillar diesel into.

Everybody loves old Cadillacs. Is this one a 500?

Damn, I saw you had the manx for sale on the vortex too.

Whats the inside look like?

472, the 500s came in the 70s and had less power than the 472...but you probably know that :)

The Manx is for sale here too but over in the classifieds, its not challenge budget friendly by any stretch of the imagination.

Interior is ok The front seat has rips but the rear is fine and the door panels are fine. It all needs a good cleaning though. The dash is unmolested and not cracked. It has alot of potential but needs quite a bit of cosmetics. The upside is it can be a fun rat driver while you handle the cosmetics.

This weekend will tell if its staying on the market or not. I really like the car but I've got to thin the herd and I have another acquisition I really want but havent checked out yet. If I pass on it I will pull the caddy back off the market. Manx will stay for sale as its just time for that one to move on.

Don't I know it! A Duramax in a DeVille would be dreamy...! I had a '76 Coupe DeVille in high school (demo derby'd it three times). 500 ci, TH400, posi, functioning 8 track, and about 300 pounds of leather! The '76 500 was a bit of a dog in the hp arena, but using two left manifolds flipped upside down and a pair of short stacks sticking through the hood, that was the coolest sounding car I've ever driven. The only hard part about working on that car was deciding if you wanted to lean over the fenders (the carb is a long reach!) or just climb into the engine bay.

I'll have another heavy Caddy someday, but not today. Right now I'm actually trying to sell my (second) Soyburban to make some room in the driveway, I'll be without WVO again.

When you said "clearing for a non-rally project" I thoght you had something specific in mind... You totally have Automotive ADD!

I have a specific Idea in mind but have not located the appropriate vehicle.

But what the hey, if anyone knows of anything Im looking for a GOOD driver quality but not show quality Studebaker 50s or earlier. Got my eyes on a few but nothing that has just hit all the buttons yet.
