1968 Cadillac DeVille Conv. (needs restoration) The pictures posted are not meant to be flattering, but to show true condition. I bought the car as it was misrepresented for $3,000.00, and when I got home from the service to see it for the first time, I felt like I had been robbed. It has rare options such as bucket seats and console, cruise, and power door locks. From the factory it has the 375hp 472 that now has a correct carb for it although not installed. I had the engine cranked, it didn't knock, but the carb was gummed up so bad I bought a new/used one and just never put it on. It came from Arizona, and the floors feel solid. It's a strait body I believe to be an excelent foundation for a resto for someone with more experience than me - UPDATE 15JAN: PLEASE READ BELOW. I'd like to see her go to someone with a pasion for these cars that will someday have her back on the road where she belongs. I have lots more pictures I'd be glad to e-mail anyone that asks. Currently has an "open" title out of Arizona. Car is located in Huntsville, Tx. Looking for best reasonable offer; we'll start negotiations at $2,000.00.
EDIT: $1,250.00
EDIT 15JAN07:
The potential seller brought with him a body/chasis specialist to help inspect the car, and unfortuneately we found a LOT of bondo in the rear quarter panels, and the seat frames have not held up as well as I had hoped. However he did confirm that frame and floors were good as well as the trunk floors, and I have decided to adjust my asking price accordingly to $1,250.00 (obo). I am very sorry that I had mentioned a straight body in the original ad, and I will try to edit it to include true facts after this post. It is very important to me that no one is mislead as I was at the time of my purchase of the car. I will be sending pictures those that requested them in the next day or so. thank you every one for your interest.
EDIT 22FEB07:
It's going to the recycler for $270.00 in less than a week.
