For Sale: 1987 Cadillac DeVille in Arlington, Texas
When the 6th generation of Cadillac Devilles rolled around in 1985
they shared some of the style of previous generation but were
drastically shortened as they switched to the new FWD C body
platform. Cadillac was still all about luxury though providing a
smooth ride with all of the latest and greatest technology.
Cadillac was undoubtedly a status symbol reserved for those that
wanted something that offered a little more class than just wheels
to get you from point A to point B. The old Cadillacs have become
quite collectable and this 87 Deville is a beautiful example of one
of these cars. It has racked up only 14,270 miles since originally
purchased and has been extremely well maintained since new. It is a
very cool piece of history and comes with its original owners
manual, warranty booklet, and of course the Gold Key delivery
system booklet. This was a exclusive program designed to make your
Cadillac purchase just a little more special. It includes the 2
sets of "gold plated keys" as well as some other perks. Seeing this
piece of marketing history is very cool and a nice conversation
piece. The car is painted in its original Blue paint that has a
really nice shine. Custom wheels have been added to it but the
original set with tires does come with it. You will notice them
pictured in the trunk and rear seat currently.
Under the hood is the original HT4100 4.1L V8 motor. It runs
extremely well and starts up smoothly. We drove the car 30 miles
back to our shop before photographing it and it performed
flawlessly. Being extremely low mileage the car has a lot of life
left in it but it was also just gone through to ensure that no
issues have arisen from not getting driven regularly. Around $4,000
was spent getting it in ready to go condition. This includes new
tires, a new battery, new shocks/struts, new heater hoses, a new
belt, new oil paint and gasket, new camber kit with alignment, and
a full service with new oil and coolant. The AC system was also
completely gone through with a new compressor, accumulator and
lines. That service alone cost $1,224.66. The result is a great
running car that should drive just like it did off the showroom
floor.
The interior is its original Blue and is in excellent shape. It is
what you would expect in a car with such low miles that has been
cared for like this one has. It was clear this car was some ones
pride and joy. It has been left mostly untouched with the only
thing needing attention the headliner. It wasn't that the material
was in bad shape but it had started to sag in certain spots which
is common in cars from the 80s. It was totally redone bringing it
to the level of the rest of the upholstery. The power windows and
power seats are working properly as are the gauges. The trunk is in
good condition as well and is currently being used to store the
additional wheels and original jack.
This is a really neat car and checking it out you will feel like
you just walked in to a 1987 dealership. We can't think of anything
it needs currently other than a new home to care for it like it has
been since new.
