Vehicle Description
1978 Cadillac Coupe deVille Cotillion White 2 Door Clean 91K Miles AS-IS GARAGE KEPT LOW BEST OFFER/BUY IT NOW BEAUTIFUL!Read entire listing. Lots of info provided- this car runs, drives, and stops. Perfect as a weekend cruiser. Could be made into a daily driver with some TLC. I have detailed as much possible with the car that I can, with a 47 year-old car it is always possible there are other items needing attention.*Relisted due to non-paying winner*Selling my 1978 Coupe deVille. I no longer have time to enjoy the car and now need to make space in my garage for wife's new car. The car has been garage kept and winterized. I have put less than 700 miles in 7 years (roughly 91K total), I thought I would have more time to enjoy it but just didn't unfortunately. Has the bulletproof 425 cu in. engine, proven smooth transmission TH400.The car is a weekend driver, could be easily turned into a daily driver. I get stopped with compliments and stares whenever I drive it. Has a lot of newer parts and restoration and I have a ton of cosmetic parts from various sources that I will try to include. This is by no means a show car, but something nice to enjoy immediately and then continue to DIY some stuff if you're handy. The items needing attention do not prevent driveability, so if you are good with cars this is a steal.I have tried to capture everything with the car possible for a fair representation. There's a lot of positives and a few known issues with the car that I will try to be upfront as I can. As you can see, I am being forthcoming on details both pros and cons as much possible, most sellers will not give you such a breakdown.Positives/upgrades
