1978 Cadillac De Ville Coupe

1978 Cadillac Coupe de Ville CLC Award-Winning Original Survivor!

1978 Cadillac Coupe de Ville 2-Door 85,709 Actual Miles 425 V8 Automatic Original Condition

Here is a wonderful opportunity to own a highly original 1978 Cadillac Coupe de Ville with an exceptional ownership history and proven show pedigree.

This elegant Ruidoso Saddle (brown) Coupe de Ville has 85,709 believed-actual miles and is powered by its original 425 cubic-inch (7.0-liter) V8 paired with the original automatic transmission. The car remains remarkably original and stock, from its exterior and interior to the engine compartment, undercarriage, and trunk.

The Cadillac was purchased in 1991 from its original owner with only 37,700 miles and has been cared for by the same owner since. It has also been recognized by the Cadillac-LaSalle Club (CLC), earning 1st Place Touring at the CLC Grand Nationals in both Kansas City and Louisville. The car wears its CLC Touring Badge and has a particularly memorable history from the 2010 Kansas City event, where it received both the 1st Place Touring Award and the Hard Luck Award.

The Hard Luck Award came after a tire blowout on the expressway just outside Kansas City, which resulted in the replacement of the front-left fender. This is part of the cars history and is disclosed for full transparency.

Its originality, long-term ownership, documented mileage history, and CLC awards make it a particularly interesting example for the Cadillac enthusiast or collector.
