I have no personal interest or stake in the eventual sale of this 1971 Cadillac Sedan DeVille.

Looking closely at the Craig's List pictures,

I see this car needs more paint work than

I first thought.  Too, I hope the "minor rust"

is very minor.  There is rust under a corner

of the vinyl roof.

 

Once those deficiencies are corrected, the

car may be very good for someone.  I don't

know whether there will be much demand

at the current $7500.  Maybe $4500?  Less?

This model is available  generally, though not

all that common.

Rust "bumps" under the vinyl top were a common occurrence on '60's and '70's cars. My '70, which was only five years old had a couple. I knew what they were, but stripping the vinyl and repairing them was not an option. Those bumps concern me a lot more than the damaged paint.

Good-looking car, good color. These cars run forever.

The gear selector pointing to 1 o'clock needs looking after.

Agree the price is optimistic with the rust bumps and all.
