1982 Cadillac DeVille Wildcat special

Hello and thank you for taking the time to look at this fine example of true street cruiser. What we have here is a custom built 1982 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. This was a Kentucky dealer package car deemed "Wildcat Special". I purchased this car from the estate of the original owner in Kentucky. This was purchased from Quantrell Cadillac in Lexington KY. After trailering this home, the journey began...

The original idea of this build was to make this car look and operate with the now Oldsmobile 5.7L 350 Rocket engine like it came from the factory this way. I didn't want to cut and hack this car up. So 3 car's were used to get it done. A 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass was purchased for the engine. That engine ran but was tired so it was sent to a local machine shop to be completely rebuilt to slightly above stock specs. It now has about 110 miles on it.

The other car used was a 1987 Cadillac Fleetwood that came equipped with an Oldsmobile 5.0L 307 engine. This was used for many misc. parts so that the new engine would fit in the Coupe properly.

There is a new Edelbrock carbuerator w/ electric choke. New electronic distributor. Custom made stainless exhaust. Dual gauges tucked under the center of the dash to monitor temperature and oil pressure. There are many many things that were replaced or changed throughout the last 5 years. I will try and remember everything.

New Moog Coils springs - Front and Rear. New shocks front and rear (Air in rear).

Steering components are all nice and tight. Brakes are great as well. Transmissions shifts perfect. Fresh fluid and filter. Fuel tank is new along with a new fuel sending unit.

The under carriage of the car has been 3 stage coated. Very nice. The car had no rust prior to this. This was done as a preventative action.

The top was replaced 4 years ago and has not been outside since.

The wheels are Authentic 20x9 144 Spoke Dayton Wire Wheels. Ne bends.

Vogue Tyres with very nice tread.

The car is by far in perfect condition but very solid and runs drives very well. There are some various nicks, scratches and cosmetic imperfections that you would expect for a 36 year old vehicle.. I get on the highway with this and can easily cruise at 85 MPH with no issue. Smooth without any shaking or anything like that. There is so much that went into the build of this car. If you have any questions and would like to talk further, please contact me anytime.
