At first glance this 1977 Coupe Deville could pass for your mom's car (the wheels might give it away though). Hearing it drive by you would probably look up and expect to see a 454 LS-6 Chevelle cruising by. This car is the perfect combination of luxury and raw power. It has all the luxury features you'd expect from a Cadillac and none of the performance. If you nail it, you'd better have the slicks on and a spare pair of shorts. The interior is original except for tach and gauges (not permanently mounted) and the exterior is just the way Cadillac intended it to be. The car is in excellent condition and was recently painted with urethane base coat clear coat. It has approximately 60,000 miles on it. The clock even works. I bought the car in 1978 when it was a year old and very slow. The 500 CID Cadillac engine is fresh, with less than 5,000 miles on it. The car can be driven daily and runs fine on 93 octane premium unleaded with a shot of lead substitute. A can or two of Lucas octane booster should be added if you plan on racing it. It runs low thirteens without the NOS and well into the twelves with it. A little tuning should put it nicely in the elevens. The car launches great with 7" slicks, lifting the left front tire off the ground. The last time it was at a quarter mile strip was twenty five years ago, before my kids were born. Now I just cruise the street a few times a year just to remind the motoring public, that Cadillac rules. Of all the high performance cars I have owned I have had the most fun with this one. It would always attract a crowd at the drag strip. Imagine the reaction of a die hard street racer when he gets blown away by a Cadillac. I only put a few hundred miles on the car a year and never drive it in bad weather. It is always stored inside. Please feel free to contact me for more information. If you are in Omaha, stop by and take it for a test drive (don't forget the extra shorts). I reserve the right to end the auction early if the car sells locally. To prevent such an occurrence please bid high (real high would be better). I will not end the auction because the bids are too low (I hate it when people do that). Someone is going to buy this car, it might as well be you. For a complete list of modifications & more photos click HERE
