FS: 1976 Cadillac Coupe DeVille central TX car

[ChrisMU]

It runs, drives, and stops. It even has the bumper fillers. Rare fuel-injected model with the 8.2L (500 c.i.) V8, and injector seals have been replaced. It has the auto trunk closing feature, which still works. Full vinyl top (rarer than the half-top that year) in good condition. This is an unusually equipped car because most fuel-injected Cadillacs were loaded-up DeVille D’Elegance or Fleetwood/Eldorado models. Less than 56K on odometer, which may be original given the original paint and lack of carpet/pedal wear. No smoke or knocking from engine. Very solid car underneath. Custom exhaust installed by previous owner. Clean title.

Car could use some adjustments to be at its best. Headliner is good, but the rest of the interior needs some love. Has rust at the front corners of hood as well as trunk lid near the lock cylinder. I touched up those areas with phosphoric acid (rust converter) and paint to be presentable. Heater core bypassed. Fuel gauge not working. Passenger side exhaust manifold is cracked. Good used manifold included, as well as new interior door panel covers.

$6,000

My dad had a Blue 75 Fleetwood he commuted 100 miles back and forth to Atlanta in up until the early 2000's.. Was quite a car.

Off topic but this was for sale the other day. Looks like the same color?

Classy cars. I remember this back in 1989 in a newspaper article. Brings tears to my eyes.

It's giving Cotton Hill
But it's a real Cadillac, with enough cubic inches up front

Hope it makes someone a nice cruiser

Right around that year is when all of the "not ready for prime time" emissions stuff was forced upon everyone, which means that giant beefy motor probably isn't nearly as awesome as one might think it should be. It's probably also why it doesn't have a crazy price or tons of interest, despite the apparently awesome condition that it's in.

It is a beautiful looking car though!
