Stunning Silver 1970 Deville Convertible Up For Auction, 77k, Under 2k On Drivetrain, NO RESERVE 472 V8, 77k original miles on car, under 2000 miles since mechanical restoration. This is the last year of the Deville Convertibles, it's got a nice combination of silver paint and black leather. Mechanical: The Caddy got a new drivetrain in 2011, about 2000 miles since motor and tranny rebuild. Since I never intended on selling this car, I did everything with the intention of doing it once and doing it right. The original drivetrain wasn't bad; the engine needed various gaskets replaced anyway (exhaust, intake manifold, valve covers, oil pan, etc) and the transmission had a leak so I had both rebuilt. Engine rebuild included new motor mounts, newly painted engine bay, new radiator and hoses as well as all new gaskets. The transmission was rebuilt at the same time, under 2000 miles on engine and transmission. The brake system was redone as well, lines, calipers, rotors, cylinders and hoses. She also got a full exhaust system from the engine back, runs nice and quiet. Front end rebuild including springs, idler arm, ball joints, bushings and shocks as well as a set of new Goodyear tires, the steel wheels were sandblasted and painted. The gas tank was cleaned up and painted as well. The A/C compressor was not put back on the engine after the rebuild. I will include the compressor and any parts not put back on, they're all boxed up. The climate control wheel controller can be finicky, sometimes you need to switch it back and forth to get it going. The top motor stopped working recently. It was replaced when the top was changed, seems like a line must be leaking because you hear it working when you hit the switch. It's easy enough to put up and down by hand for now. The front power windows all work well, the back windows need help going up. The 472 feels nice and strong, it's one of the best Cadillac motors ever and the transmission shifts perfectly. Cosmetics: the interior is very nice, the leather overall is in good to excellent condition. The driver's seat bottom could use new padding and the piping on the edge of the driver's seat is coming loose. The door panels, rear panels dashboard / dash display and visors are in very good original condition. The convertible top and glass back window were replaced when the car was painted about seven years ago. The underside looks like new, does not even show surface rust. The floors and trunk are solid and the chrome is in good original condition, it shines up nicely. The weatherstripping around the windows and in the trunk is all new. The hubcaps in the photos are from a 79 Coupe Deville, the originals are back on the car now. She's never been out in the winter, she's always been a "Garage Queen". Engine starts easily even after sitting for weeks, the garage floor is always dry when I pull her out. She cruises nicely on the highway, 375 horsepower 472 V8 moves this big girl up the highway with ease. She idles perfectly, shifts smoothly, brakes evenly and the suspension is luxurious. Drives overall like an classic American cruiser should. I'm only selling due to financial circumstances, I've got more invested in the Caddy than any other classic I've owned. the mechanical restoration was the type done with the intention of driving the car for a long time. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Deville is for sale locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of shipping to paid by buyer. I can recommend a good door to door auto shipper if you need one. Once again this is a NO RESERVE AUCTIONClassic Caddy convertible which will only appreciate in value. Any questions feel free to email or call 914-224-3230
