Need help in estimating a selling price for a 1968 Cadillac DeVille Convertible.

Car belonged to my father and was left to me, he bought it in the early 90's, somewhere between 1990 and 1993.

White with white top and white leather seats. Dash and carpet are black. Interior in pretty good condition, door panels and dash are cracked from desert heat.

California car, all original except fenders have been replaced. Car was repainted and surface rust fixed in 2004. Paint is in excellent condition.

Bumpers are slightly pitted but not rusted through.

Car has 117812 miles, original radio, electric windows, and power seats.

The engine was in good running shape until approximately 2006. I'm unsure what the exact problem was, I believe it originated with the timing, and ended up that the distributor was actually fused to the engine, possibly from overheating due to using the car to pull trailers in the 90's.

I was under the impression the car had a 454 V8 in it, but my mom believes it is a 472. I am unsure how to tell which engine it has. We do have a spare engine and transmission to go with it, both engines most likely are rebuildable, and with the parts available, a running engine could possibly be put together. Spare engine also has working transmission, but transmission on car has slight leak.

Engine hoist would also be included in sale, as well as a few spare trim parts and other parts for the vehicle.




I have some pictures of the car and spare engine, but was unable to take photos of the engine that's in the car right now.
