1968 Cadillac Deville Base Convertible 2-door on 2040-cars

I updated and filled in some more info but I don't know how to DELETE the old repeating stuff from above.

This is a sweet street yacht. Great for dropping the top and heading out when the sun is shinning. This is a former Nevada Car with SOLID frame, no rust on frame, doors, door jams, or trunk. This car spends the winter in heated hibernation and includes a full car cover. This car had a complete interior re-do in maroon vinyl by previous owner as well as re chrome of exterior bumpers and the stainless trim is all there with minimal wear.

I put in a New complete dual exhaust from the manifold down with SS mufflers and larger better breathing pipes which are not too loud unless you punch it to hint that the hood has something more under it. There is tasteful pin striping. Coker Wide Whites with solid steel stock powder coated wheels, bright trim rings and spyders.

All belts, hoses, other dried rubber replaced. Gas tank removed, inspected, cleaned, re-installed. Brakes inspected and fixed. I installed a larger Coolcraft High Efficiency radiator. This car needs compressor if your wanting to run the AC. I put in a New Heater Core. Put on lift and replaced all the worn front end parts with Kanter parts and new shocks. The tranny looks like a rebuild, it was drained, cleaned, and inspected, then we replaced the gasket and closed it back up.

New Hartz Pin Point New Top (includes hard rear window replacement if you're not a fan of vinyl rear window). I removed the seats and old rug, clean up the floor and installed new interior carpet over complete Dynamat Xtreme wrap inside the cabin. Window motors replaced, and the door gaskets were replaced with Rubber The Right Way new gaskets.

All new top pistons and lines, properly bleed, goes up strong and quiet. New rebuilt later year 1974 styled Cadillac 500 with the better oiling passages built by Maximum Torque Specialties (500CID.com) with a #5 CAM and it was installed on 8/12. (Face it the first year 472 design was changed for a reason by Clark Street) Edelbrock Carb and Performer Intake (will included stock intake). '74 HEI conversion with MSD Power. The Custom Chrome One Piece Tube Grill and Chromed Headlight Trim really set this car off (spare stock trim included).

The original data plate lists Grecian White as the color with red interior. Could do with a repaint since it is old paint with minor wear and nicks. There is a dent on drivers fender from a door. This is a nice Caddy for the price and hard to find a '68 in this condition without a frame off resto. You could fix the dent and repaint and not have to do anything else major for a decade. The Odometer has obviously rolled since the last digit is not centered so who knows the exact miles but really nothing much left to do.

This is a fun steel beast to cruise with, go to car shows, beach, etc. It is a highway star, smooth level ride. This is a car that gets a lot of attention and drives the bow tie and argyle sock wearing Caddy purists krazy. You can stick a Prius in the trunk and if you have not driven a car with about 5 feet of hood view your, in for a treat. There is very little needed to make this a wild kustom, keep it this mild kustom, or to return it to stock beauty.

(What Air???????) what needs to be done to get to show quality. (what show? The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance) looking for one to upgrade w/out a complete redo? (this car) Please rate the following 1-10, body, paint, running gear, thanks (since I have no idea how you would rate an item on a given scale, nor you would I, a subjective rating is useless.) I LOVE this car. I am ONLY selling it because my wife hates the top down because of her "HAIR" which sucks the fun out of owning this car and since it is better to get rid of the car than her, well Your Luck! - dirtywaterdiver
