MarkV 73 Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Well I bought a 77 Seville in exactly the color I was looking for, guess What? It was only $600 total! It has documented 36000 miles (I have all the records a big file). I cant believe how excellent it looks! It had not been on in a while since 2015 or so and I threw a new battery in and it fired right up! It will need new belts, hoses, radiator, alternator and a/c work. All power items and electrical work even the antenna and auto trunk. Tomorrow I will clean it up and post better pics! It also has an 8 track! I cannot believe it!!!!!

intimeold 91 Posted February 9, 2018 That A/c clutch repair shouldn't be too much of a job. I did a lot of them back in the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve_Mack_CT 716 Posted February 9, 2018 Reminds me of a friend whose mom got one of these in 76 or 77. Fun to get rides back from town pool & really 9 hole golf course we would go to everyday. When it was my families turn to drive the custard olds must have been a let down. Seville was a big deal when it first came out as I recall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joe_padavano 1,117 Posted February 9, 2018 Wow. With luck like that, you should be playing the lottery! Congrats. Very nice score. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
padgett 875 Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Just goes to show: if you look, you find. Always liked the early ones better than "Billy Mitchel's Revenge". ps need the little extraction tool to pull the A/C clutch, can do on the car. Make sure you remove the nut first.

auburnseeker 2,689 Posted February 9, 2018 Of course it would be CA. You should try to accomplish the same thing in the Northeast. So there is atleast one good thing about CA. Clean cars. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve_Mack_CT 716 Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Caddy must put effort into the smell of the leather interiors, I remember it clearly when my friends mom used to ferry us around. When I got my new CTS a few years ago, if was identical to the Seville and different from other brands w leather. Countt me a Caddy fan.

MarkV 73 Posted February 12, 2018 Did the radiator today, it was rotted through and leaking! I am hoping to do the alternator and belts next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Stoneberg 874 Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) what kind of AC work or don't you know yet ? You can replace the clutch on that AC compressor fairly easy without having to break the system. I have used this web page to do it before. http://www.bernardembden.com/xjs/comclutch/index.htm Edited February 12, 2018 by Bill Stoneberg (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
