This 1972 Cadillac Attracts A Large Number Of People Who Want To Own It Because Of Its Long Pristine Existence And Extremely Low Ownership Value.


If you’re looking for a Cadillac survivor that doesn’t cost a fortune, you just have to check out the DeVille that we came across today.

Manufactured in ’72 and part of the fourth-generation model, this DeVille has been sitting for many years, according to the owner that’s selling the car on Craigslist.

The lineup was available in three different body styles, namely 4-door hardtop, 2-door coupe, and 2-door hardtop, being offered with a choice of two engines, which were either 472ci (7.7-liter) V8 units or 500ci (8.2-liter) V8 powerplants. No matter the engine, all 1972 DeVilles came with a 3-speed automatic transmission.

This model posted on Craigslist comes with the 472ci engine, and the owner says the transmission was rebuilt at 38,000 miles (61,135 km). It should start just fine with gas in the carburetor, as the tank needs to be cleaned out completely.

As for the original parts, everything is there just how Cadillac left it when the car left the factory 48 years ago. The DeVille features the original moldings, bumpers, and even the floor mats, so nobody touched the car except for the transmission rebuild that we already told you about.

According to the listing, the coupe has 49,000 miles (78,857 km) on the clock and comes with a clean California title.

We don’t know how many years this Cadillac has spent sitting, but judging from the photos, taking care of the rust on the roof should be one of the first things on the to-do list for whoever buys the car.

As for the price, this is the thing that’s the most surprising. Parked in Sacramento, the Cadillac can be yours for no more no less than $3,500, which is quite an unexpected price for a classic in this condition. Needless to say, with the proper restoration, this DeVille can end up costing a small fortune, so if you were looking for a great project car, this one is definitely worth checking out.
