i love the '77 sedan/coupe d'ville body. 4100 are good on gas but you MUST take gentle care of them... my friend had that type of motor in his caddy and it gave him problems. the aluminum heads and or engine will warp easily if you dont take care of it.

@elwin38

the '77-'79 devilles used a 425 cc engine which will not die. they do tend to leak oil from the rear main, but thats all. the 4100 aluminum block disaster came out in 1982

Good God! That Car of yours is nearly identical to my 2d Cadillac, save for the opera light on the 'C' pillar. My first was a '77 Coupe DeVille in the same color scheme w/ leather interior. Liked it enough that when I came across a REALLY clean Sedan DeVille like it in the Binghamton area, I pursued it and traded the Coupe in. Sadly, I drove to work one day thinking my water pump was only leaking-it seized! Good-bye 425 ci V8! Lost my job and sold it to a guy who swapped the motor for a 4100!

that 4100 aluminum engine was a nightmare from day one. oh and i am sure you remember the 8-6-4 idea that lasted exactly one model year

I had an 83 Sedan DeVille when I was in high school. It had that cursed HT4100 engine that was plagued with problems. The chasis was awesome though....roomy interior and cushy ride.

Sigh...gas was 99 cents a gallon back in 1997; the good ole days.

In the future I want to buy the one with a 472 or 500 engine transplanted in the 77+ chasis.

It as a dark day when Caddy when to FWD in 1985 with Deville & made Brougham a stand alone RWD.

Eldorado FWD was art on wheels though.

you had that dreaded aluminum block. that engine had a valve tap when it came out of the showroom ^-^

but yeah, I would like to get a 1976 triple white eldorado, one of those "spirit of america" models

Then the downsize happened again on the deville from 85-88.

Beautiful Car. I was the same way back in 77 when they downsized the Caddy. However, it grew on me and I really liked them. I remember those old plates. I think they ended in the mid 80s. NY has gone back to that color again.

@crazeenydriver That 8-6-4 was actually a good motor if u disabled that feature.

[rockerdriver]

@telebob59 What the hell was that guy thinking puttin a 4100 in it?! He must be really fuckin stupid!

[goochon]

now that is a nice cadillac, and i actually like the 77 better than my 78 deville, the tail lights and chrome edge around the rear window why did they drop that in 78

[midnitesquirldog]

[ronnywhitebear]
