*** Vehicle located in MI - Zoom Classic Cars presents this
fabulous American classic. Offered for sale is an extraordinary,
top-quality 1978 Cadillac Sedan DeVille finished in its original
and elegant brown exterior over a beautiful cream interior. This is
a true one-owner survivor with only 7,800 original miles, purchased
brand-new at Prentis Cadillac in Wyandotte, Michigan. Adding to its
provenance, the original owner's father was the dealership's master
technician, and very likely the person who prepped the car when it
arrived new in 1978. It simply doesn't get more authentic than
this.Engine & Transmission:Power comes from Cadillac's legendary
425 cubic-inch (7.0L) V8, factory-rated at approximately 180
horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. This engine is known for its
smoothness, durability, and effortless low-RPM power.Paired with it
is the original Turbo-Hydramatic THM-400 3-speed automatic
transmission, widely regarded as one of the most reliable and
refined transmissions of its era. Both the engine and transmission
remain completely original, untouched, and operate exactly as a
low-mileage Cadillac should-silky, quiet, and
confident.Condition:This Sedan DeVille is a true time capsule,
preserved with exceptional care and attention. The paint, chrome,
trim, glass, and interior all present beautifully, reflecting the
car's extremely low mileage and meticulous ownership. The cream
interior shows minimal wear, retaining the plush comfort and luxury
Cadillac was known for in the late 1970s.The car has been
garage-kept, pampered, and consistently maintained throughout its
life. It drives exactly as a 7,800-mile Cadillac should-smooth,
quiet, and dignified.Known Items:Transparency matters, and the few
minor issues are noted below:A/C needs a recharge -Fuel gauge reads
full on startup - likely a sending unit issue:Rear filler panel
beneath the license plate needs replacement - a brand-new
replacement panel is included with the sale.Other than these small
items, the car is as close to a 1978 showroom experience as you
will find.Tires & Wheels:The original tires were replaced due to
age, but the original tires remain mounted on the original wheels
with spoke caps.The buyer may choose either or both sets of tires,
wheels, and caps-your preference.Summary:This is the real deal: a
one-owner, ultra-low-mile, beautifully preserved 1978 Cadillac
Sedan DeVille with exceptional history and authenticity. Cars like
this rarely surface, and almost never with this kind of mileage,
documentation, and family connection to the dealership where it was
sold new.Located in Michigan.Call Mike: 973-768-6426
