1961 Cadillac Coupe DeVille

1961 Cadillac Coupe Deville. Here is a true barn find with great patina. A straight, complete, and all original car with 81,xxx miles. I purchased this survivor in eastern South Dakota where it had been stored since the mid 1980's. This Caddy's V8 runs good and the Hydra-Matic transmission shifts smooth. Overall, the car is in good condition. There is some rust, but not bad considering it is 54 years old. The good thing is nothing has been covered up with body filler so there are no surprises. What you see is what you get. A rare car that always turns heads. It's a good candidate for a full restoration or have fun and drive it as is. Stand out from the crowd. Drive a Cadillac. The engine is a 390 cubic inch V8 with 325 horsepower. It is equipped with GM's Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Factory options include power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seat, air conditioning (not working), chrome door guards, fog lamps, Guide-Matic headlight control, and a power antenna (not working). The original owners installed quality seat covers over the original seats. The cushioning is good and no springs can be felt poking through. Here is a list of what has been done to get this beauty ready to cruise. * 4 new Diamondback wide white wall tires mounted and balanced * New fuel pump * New fuel tank, tank straps, sending unit, gas cap, filler neck hose, and rubber fuel lines * The steel fuel lines were flushed out * New fuel filter, air filter, and oil filter * Transmission serviced * New battery * New belts and hoses * New thermostat with coolant flushed and filled * New exhaust from manifolds back, new manifold gaskets, exhaust manifolds resurfaced * New oil pressure sending unit * The starter has been rebuilt * New spark plugs, plug wires, cap, rotor, and points * New valve cover gaskets and air cleaner base gasket * The carburetor has been rebuilt * New light bulbs in the dash * New windshield wiper blades * Wiper motor rebuilt * Rebuilt master cylinder *
