These are cool. Not only do they have a rear disc setup that can be adapted to other GM RWD cars, they also have a strange yet cool multiport EFI Olds 350.

rot rear frame rails also he says he made it carbed which is not a bad thing but just look at engine bay and see if it has a lot of wires hacked up. also check rear frame rail should be electric fuel pump there just check to see if that area is hacked up. but rust is the major thing.....take better pics of bottom of door edges and other areas

Two cool facts that few people know (and probably even fewer care about):

(1) GM sold these in Europe with tail lights that had an amber strip along the bottom (think some models of Crown Vic.) I wonder if there are any such lights still out there?

(2) When the new 77 full-size GMs came out, a senior engineer said that if they had had the math tools they used then when they were designing the Seville, they could have taken 500 pounds out of it.

I never liked Novas, but I always liked these. They were the last good looking Sevilles.

This one looks clean. Just go to their site and check out the other pictures. The color combo is out there, but I kind of like it. It's been listed off and on for awhile, so I'll bet they'll deal.

How many years/models of Caddy had this vertical pleating in the door upholstery? I have an old picture of my grandfather driving one around this era, and I'd be curious to narrow down the model and year of his car. (He died a few years ago, so he's not returning my calls.)

Finally got ahold of the owner, the car has sold.

Sorry.
