1983 Cadillac DeVille Coupe Deville DeElagance review from North America
"Actually a fairly well built solid car minus the 4.1"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It's hard to complain about problems on a car that is 20 years old.
When I got the car the only thing that didn't work was the power antenna.
General comments?
The 4.1 was an over engineered piece of aluminum.
Replaced the 4.1 with a warmed up fuel injected 350 and 700r4 transmission.
Replaced all of the front suspension bushings and joints.
Drives and runs like a new car.
No body rot anywhere.
