Vehicle Detail

You are looking at a 1978 Cadillac Seville Grandeur Opera Coupe. This car is completely original with only 9,259 miles! It has a 350 5.7 Liter V-8 engine with electronic fuel injection and a turbo 400 series automatic transmission. The paint is a very rare Sea Mist Green with the matching tuxedo grain padded vinyl top. The color is very rare and is in original condition. The Sea Mist Green paint is a really light green and is very hard to accurately document the color without seeing it in person. It is very close to a light mint green and is really nice. This model has a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, dual remote-control mirrors, all power options, cloth interior, 8 track player, A/C, cruise and all the bells and whistles. This is one of 250 total cars produced, a true low mileage unmolested time piece. Best of all, there is no reserve so bid and win! DESCRIPTION The car is in amazing condition. The engine runs very strong and the transmission shifts smooth. The suspension is amazing, there are no electronic issues and the interior looks new with no rips, tears or wear spots. The dash is in perfect condition and is not cracked or dried out. The paint is nice and shiny with no fading. There are several minor rock chips and typical minor cracks in the original paint. The only flaw is a small area around the antenna where the original paint has cracked and flaked off in a very small spot (see pictures). The chrome is not faded or pealing. The top is near pristine with no damage. All the glass is good and there are no cracks. The white wall tires are in new condition. There is absolutely no rust on the body or frame. The original spoke rims are in good condition for their age. This car has seen no abuse and was cared for and well maintained since it was new. This particular Cadillac has been part of a garage-kept private collection. The body codes indicate that this vehicle was manufactured on the fourth week of November 77’ in Detroit, Michigan. The VIN # denotes an early production vehicle. 450001 thru 550000 were built in Detroit. This vehicle’s production # is 465286, making it fairly more desirable in the Seville market. All plate and identifications numbers are matching. It has the correct identification plate from Grandeur Motor Car denoting manufactures numbers and personalization. I have all the paperwork, manuals, a suede covered owner’s manual and even have a Super Rare advertisement booklet for this specific Opera Coupe (see related pictures white cover booklet). I am also including 4 rare commercial maintenance and service manuals. This car has a clear title with the original miles listed on the title. All the fluids have been changed/flushed; all filters have been replaced; and a new top of the line battery installed; new hoses/belts as needed. The car can be seen in person by appointment. Seriously interested parties only please; I’m not showing the car for fun or spectators. Please remember, this is a 33 year old car. I am representing it as accurately as I can. I have tried to give as much information as possible. Please feel free to ask any and all questions. I would be happy to send more pictures upon your request or to take specific pictures for you. BIDDING A $500 deposit via PayPal is required after close of auction. Full payment is required within 7 days of auction end. Cash or a bank certified/cashier’s check. If paid by check, the vehicle will not be removed for any reason prior to the funds being verified. Please review my 100% feedback and bid with confidence. You will not be disappointed with this Cadillac. SHIPPING AND PICK-UP Out of state bidders can be picked up at the airport (VPS) for no charge. Fly in and drive out! I would not hesitate driving this car across country if so desired. It always starts right up and runs smooth. If shipping is needed, I can be available for the company to pick the vehicle up; however, all arrangements need to be made by the buyer. I can recommend several reputable companies for both US and overseas shipping if needed. I do have a car trailer that I use for taking this to car shows. Therefore, I can also deliver this to you, if located within a reasonable distance. Don't let this one slip away, you'll never see one like this again. Good Luck and happy bidding!
