1984 CADILLAC SEVILLE 4.1 V8
These are very rare in Australia as they had to be imported and then converted to RHD. This has quite a good conversion but there are some details that need fixing up. Overall it's a solid car that will need rebuilding mechanically, a big dent fixed, lots of little broken items fixed up, then a repaint.
THE GOOD.
It's California delivered and has no rust at all.
RHD conversion has been done well, although there are some minor details that I will change later.
Body on frame construction so built like a truck.
Distinctive body style.
Great interior.
Front wheel drive with north/south V8 and 4 speed auto.
All bumpers, trims, and chrome in good condition.
Pretty much everything works, although it will need a front to back check and service.
Totally complete and original except for RHD conversion.
THE BAD.
All the rubber/plastic trim panels have rotted.
Nasty dent on the l/h rear quarter, slightly damaged rear door and boot.
THE UGLY.
Transmission cooler in radiator failed
filling transmission with water, this may mean a full transmission rebuild.
Luckily all parts are available, but it's a sod of a job!
Radiator is shot.
Possible failed head gasket.
