1973 Cadillac DeVille

Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is pleased to present for sale, on consignment, this beautiful 1973 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. Coming in at a healthy 4,925 pounds this heavyweight is also an impressive 19 feet long and requires a little extra room in the garage than your average car. The fourth generation DeVille got a complete redesign in 1971 and set a record for interior width and held that title until the early 90s! In November 1971, a showroom-stock 1971 Coupe de Ville placed third in the annual coast-to-coast Cannonball Run, posting the highest average speed of the event, 84.6 mph (excluding stops) and averaging 8.9 mpg. Impressive nonetheless considering some of it's sportier competition. Finished in St. Tropez Blue Firemist Metallic exterior paint with a white vinyl top and accented by an elegant dark blue interior this combo screams "classic". This one owner car has averaged a mere 1740 miles per year since new with the owner claiming the odometer reading of 85280 to be actual. Power comes by way of a carbureted 7.7 liter 472 cubic inch V8 producing 220 hp and 365 ft lbs of torque. This was a decrease in horsepower and torque since it's inception in 1968 due to GM making the necessary changes to have all of their engines run on unleaded fuel. This cruiser is still spry enough to get you to highway speeds in 10.7 seconds. Features include A/C, AM/FM/Cassette Radio, Cloth Interior, Hub Caps, Power Brakes, Power Locks, Power Seats, Power Steering, Power Windows, Radial Tires, Seatbelts, Tilt Steering, Intermittent Wipers and White Wall Tires. Upon check in we found everything to be working on the car which is a testament to how well it's been cared for. The three speed automatic transmission operates as it was designed and the ride on this 19 footer is as smooth as silk. Take a look at the undercarriage photos and see how clean it is! This is a testament to it's entire life being spent here in the desert where it stayed well hydrated. You would be hard pressed to find a cleaner example in the country!
