@@bryanshaughnessy8043 1500 lmao good luck finding 1 of these this clean for less than 10k todays market
@@bryanshaughnessy8043 Have fun finding one for 1500.
@@bryanshaughnessy8043 as long you disable the cylinder deactivation those motors run perfectly fine. Even then I’d put the 500 Cadillac or just put a built ls2 in one of these cars. My dad bought an 81 fleetwood brougham coupe with the 4 6 8 motor and it ran fine other than it leaking oil on the ground but it did sit for 10+ years. Just this summer he swapped a 5.3/4L60e from a 2002 suburban. He only paid $3500 for it.
I have a 1984 Coupe DeVille with 25K original miles. I paid $3,500 for it like 10 years ago. First off, 0 to 60 in 15 seconds is pretty good. Mine can make it in about 30 seconds. However, those who bought these cars in the day did not buy them for power or speed. They bought them as LUXURY cars to float down the road lazily. Yes, they were underpowered, no doubt about it. But as a Cadillac buff, I have to correct these guys on a few things. First off, the hood ornament is NOT unique. The "wreath" around the crest was only used on Eldorado's and Fleetwood's. The Deville always had just the crest from the inception of using the Cadillac crest. Next, the emblem on the parking lights began in 1984. There was a reason for it too. It was to Celebrate the 80th anniversary of Cadillac. Next, what he calls the "beacon lights" have nothing to do with steering the car with the long hood. These were fiber optic lamp indicators. They were there so the driver would know all the lights were lit and working properly. There are also 2 of them in the back seat above the rear window for the tail lights, brake lights and rear signals. Having been stopped by a cop last year for a brake light out in my Yukon, I wish they still had them! Next, as for the rear seat room, they were never really meant for rear passengers. These were called "personal luxury coupes." Basically meant for one or two people. If you had a family or needed room in the rear, you bought a Sedan DeVille, the four door model which had more room in the rear. Next, the fuel data panel isn't unique at all. Cadillac started using it in 1981 and Lincoln around the same time. Other cars followed suit and many cars have this feature today. I always get a kick out of these younger guys who review these cars and really know nothing about so many of the features back in the day!
Yeah, a lot think Auto Headlights and auto Hi/Low Beams are new, same goes for auto Wipers. Cadillac had that stuff 60 yrs ago
One time in the early 90s the cops had Jacked me up, having one car behind and another in front. The cop in front car came over and asked/told me to turn off the Lights. I said I didn't know how, and that the Light Switch was all the way in. He asked how I turned them on, I replied I didn'tm that they just came on at night, every night since I had bought it. I said they will go out when I shut the Car off, after a Minute, but since it was 30 out and too hot to not have Air Conditioning, I said I wasn't going to do that.
@@pjimmbojimmbo1990 Yes, you're right about the first 2. Automatic headlights were first introduced in 1963 but were available only on the Buick Rivera. In 1964, they became available on all Cadillac models. The auto high/low beams were first introduced by Cadillac in 1952. It was a huge contraption mounted on the dash.
I don't know what you mean by 'auto wipers." If you mean self propulsion electric wipers, that was 1917. If you mean intermittent (delay) wipers, they were first introduced on the 1969 Fords. If you mean the automatic 'rain sense' wipers, that was introduced in the 1996 Cadillacs.
That's a cool story you told! LOL And I believe you! When I was a little boy, I had an uncle who had a 1973 Cadillac Eldorado which had the 'twilight sentinel' automatic headlights. One day, my aunt drove to work as her car was having maintenance that day. It was a very overcast day so the lights came on. When she got to work, her co workers kept telling her 'your lights are on." She had no idea how to turn them off! LOL Of course, eventually, they went off by themselves but she thought there was something wrong with the car like an electrical short! LOL
Aye. Good yins bud. Push button start aswell. Might be wrong but I think Saabkyle04 did his 1948 Ford convertible with that but I'll need to check, from Scotland soo not too familiar with everything on the American cars just the major stuff in certain eras.
@@Samspianopage Yes, you're right! Cadillac was in fact the first car to have an automatic starter instead of having to crank the engine and it was in fact a push button! That was in 1912. Of course before doing so, you had to set the timing and engine speed with levers on the steering wheel and choke the car with a pull out knob on the dash. When car theft became a concern a lock was added which gave way to Cadillac (and other makes) to have a key which you needed to turn to turn on the electrics but Cadillac continued to have a push button to start the car on the dash. By the 1950's just about all cars had the 'turn key ignition' as it was considered more modern as it saved a step. Now we've gone back to push button but only because of technology allowing us to carry a fob in our pockets which automatically unlocks the ignition as we stand close to the vehicle!
I agree with everything retroguy9494 says here except for the 0-60 in 30 seconds. The HT 4100 is slow, but not THAT slow! The truth is that this engine was never really meant to haul around the big rear-wheel drive cars. The 4100 was actually supposed to debut in the next generation of severely downsized front-wheel drive Devilles, but they got delayed until 1985 and the previous 368 was not helping out the CAFE fuel economy numbers. Cadillac opted to put the 4100 in these cars probably to save gas and also keep the cars having an engine that was actually made by the Cadillac motor car division, but given the head gasket problems and glacial acceleration it delivered, this ultimately proved to be a big mistake. These larger RWD cars (as the Fleetwood Brougham/Brougham) eventually got an Olds 307 which, although not a Cadillac engine, was a decent, though not fantastic, improvement, and then for the last few years of this model they got a more proper treatment with a fuel injected Chevy 305 and optional Chevy 350 truck motor.
From where I'm sitting, this doesn't strike me as a heap...even with where it's at!
Of course I would buy that car! It's one of my favorite cars, in my 2nd favorite color combination as well! Crazy seeing the Tacoma Osborne-McCann license plate frame! It was a local car until going to Ohio!
I remember that dealership well. I’d buy it just for that reason.
I bought a new 1982 Coupe DeVille with the 6.2 diesel engine. I promptly swapped the engine and installed a souped up 1970 Oldsmobile 455 ...I used it for many years to pull a two horse trailer hauling my thoroughbred racehorses all over the country.. I was clocked cruzing at 120 mph on l-20 west through Dallas , and the trooper didn't even write me up.. He just had to look under the hood cause he just couldn't believe it was possible to pull two horses that fast with a 82 Coupe DeVille 🍷😎👌
You had a great engine selection with 350 plus horsepower!
@@ronwinkles2601
More than 550 hp after I rebuilt it..💰
I still have it today.. 🥃😎👌
Heck yeah I’d buy it for $3K!!! How many 40 year old cars do you see “commuting” everyday? It’s a cruise night, Sunday pleasure ride car! Love it!
My first car was an 82 coupe de ville back in 93. It was my dad's ride but he wasn't driving it anymore due to health condition. I drove it through middle school and the teachers hated me.
Such an underrated review, good job guys!
I would sure buy this in a second. At the moment I am getting my 1983 Coupe DeVille back on the road.
I have one for sale
I just bought my 83 coupe Deville. Its not in quite as good of condition as the car in this video, but I'll slowly make it nice
Just came across this...dam shame I didn't catch this video as soon as it came out...I would have bought it asap...
I don’t consider this a heap at all. A 1992 Cavalier- yes. This Caddy? No
Nice video Mr. Siwek, I always thought that older cars from the 70s-80s would be worth a lot more than what the asking price. But apparently they usually are asking to much or slightly to little. But nice video!
YES ! In a heart beat , I put in 32 years in at Cadillac motor car division. Love those big Cadillacs !
Wow! 32 years! I bet you have a ton of stories about the production of Caddy’s most of us will never know. Thanks for watching.
had an 85 eldo with the 4100... i brightened up the timing to 14 btdc , did plugs , O2 sensors , wires , cap , rotor , high flow cat. all fluids. the thing ran like a top. and was plenty punchy for driving normally. if you take care of them , they will be ok
I presently hv the exact same car.Same color combo minus the roof.Repainted dbl blk/tan interior.Put 78 Cad 425 in it.Love it.Is it still for sale?
I would definitely buy it. I love Cadillac's from the 80's.
I have one just like it! And I would still buy it.
I would like to buy it
Beautiful car from a bygone era. I had an 82 Coupe that I bought in 1983 and sold it a year later due to the anemic 4100 that loved drinking anti freeze. But now, I'd buy this car and use it as a weekend cruiser only. Just don't try to drive over any mountain ranges....you will have alot of angry truckers blasting their horns at you.
Why? What would make them angry?
@@derp7446 3800 lbs land hatch with a 4.1l 135hp engine. It has zero get up and go.
I have a 83 deville coup and I ripped the 4.1l out and put a 305 240hp engine in it. Balanced it out perfectly
My first car was a tan 83 coupe d'elagance with brown vinyl top, brown comfy Interior. Bought it back in 99 I was seventeen,
Yep got one myself bought 6 years ago from LA same colour and everything I lived in Australia 🇦🇺
I'll buy it now.
Re: The hood ornament. Cadillac used that very same hood ornament on the DeVille from 1978 thru 1984. "Feathers"? It is a wreath!
The winged crest on the parking/turn signal lenses was introduced in 1983.
Also, the aluminum hood was first introduced for the 1979 model year.
I would absolutely buy that car. It’s a classic Cadillac, looks super clean and would be put away an only driven on sunny weekends.
I'd definitely buy it at $3,000. The butter color and sunroof alone make it quite the piece. It does need some refreshing for sure, and yes, unfortunately it has the HT 4100, which is a dog of an engine and wasn't designed to be put in the big rear-wheel drive cars, but the guys here are either exaggerating how slow it is, or it needs a tune up badly. These cars aren't quick, but they don't have problems going 60 MPH. I had one of these as a teenager and could bury the speedometer needle without much trouble (regulations had the speedometer display show a maximum of 85 MPH). Acceleration is adequate for regular driving, but don't race anyone and expect to give it some time when going up a steep hill.
Beautiful car!
Got the exact same car except it is a 1984. Love it!
I have an 84 as well!
I have an 83 love it 😍
I bought a 1983 CdV on eBay in 2002 for $4,400. It had only 43,000 miles. It was black with the red leather interior. I had to fly to Spokane, Washington and drive it back to Anaheim, California. My wife and I agreed to sell it when we got our 2005 Dodge Magnum SXT. I should have kept it in storage instead! It never had any expected 4100 problems. The 1980 models had the 368 V8 and only the 1981 had the V8-6-4. You can disconnect the solenoid on the 1981 and have typical V8 operation.
Dude in blue talking about ash trays “back then” while looking like he’s 45 😂😂😂😂😂
I’ll buy it, wish I would’ve seen this sooner
is this still for sale and if so where can I buy it at?
I have a 1980 coupe deville in the same color. You should definitely buy one.😎
Nice. What size are the rims and tires?
I would definitely buy that car, & I would keep it just as it is.car companies don’t make them like that anymore, I don’t like the racing styles of cars that these automakers are doing these days. I love to lay back, be comfortable and just cruise. Awesome car, this is the best thang that ever come out of Detroit.
Ain't nothing than a G ride. Classic 🔥🔥🔥
Love It.
I have an 84 Coupe right now.
Would definitely buy it. I actually want one now.
There was another 4.1 motor that GM used to replace these when they broke called the LC4, which as far as I know was good and didn't have any issues or nearly as many.
I think that 4.1 was a Buick V6
These did not have a TH400 transmission. They had a THM200-4R four speed overdrive. I believe the crest was only used on either D'Elegances that year or Fleetwood models as it was a "deluxe" style ornament. They can be switched and swapped between models. 1982 was also the worst year for engine/gasket failure and later on it got "better", but not by much. The different metallurgy caused the intake gasket to blow which then sent a soupy mix of oil and coolant to the bottom end wiping out the lower bearings for the "coupe de grace". The "V" crest on the trunk indicated a V8 engine. Cars from 1980 to 1982 that had the Buick V6 as the engine choice didn't have that crest. That's one way to tell them apart (originally).
The HT4100 is the elephant in the room as it's nearly 40 years old and they were troublesome.
Absolutely. It’s a gem
Absolutely, big fan of 1970s and 1980s Caddies
head gasket issues,rear bumperfillers damaged headliner sagging,whiskey dents,but the coupes are the most beautiful of all,rims
Is it still available? I can pick it up this weekend
Good morning, by chance is the 1982 Coupe Deville still available?
Unfortunately the owner sold it shortly after we did the video.
it’s a REAL car !!! I would give the guy 4 grand !!! love it .
The year the emblems came on the parking lights were in 84. 80-83 didn't have them at all. 80-82 were amber/orange lens, 83 switched to clear
Right again! The wings were added to the parking lights in '84 to celebrate Cadillac's 80 year anniversary!
I have a 1983 deville black with red leather only 62k miles looks amazing
There are a few that I’m very interested in purchasing immediately. How do I contact the owner?
I have an 83 coupe deville myself of cause I’d buy it all day anywhere anytime. Even 5k 💯💓
Super Clean Banana Yellow 1982 Coupe Deville Cadillac ⭐💰👑💯
Bought an 82 coupe deville in 2000 looked exactly like this one, save for the sunroof. Mine came with the window sticker and paperwork from where the original motor was replaced with an iron block at the dealership. Gave $500 for it wish i would've kept it
Heck ya 3g for this is a steal, especially the way things are today, I know just a year ago the market wasn't as crazy
I WOULD DEFINITELY BUY IT. HANDS DOWN
The 4100 is a deal breaker for me.
This is a great buy at $3000! All you need is a 1979 425 ci Cadillac engine or a 68, 69 or
1970 Oldsmobile 455 engine with 360 hp.
I'm very interested in the car who and how can i contract them???
Is it still available?
Is this still available ?
Only the Fleetwood Brougham Coupe and the Fleetwood Brougham Sedan came with the wreath and crest. Regular Coupes and Sedans used this emblem, the crest only.
VERY true. Also, the Eldorado and Seville came with the wreath and crest as well. These young guys today amuse me; how they really don't know anything about the history of these 40 year old luxury cars!
I have a nice 83 Eldorado, hat the wreath and crest hood ornament, which I love! Original HT 4100, never been a problem. 3000 mile oil changes, 2 year coolant changes and tablets.
Is this still available
I had a 84 that i restored..But got hit from the rear by a dam Tahoe..FLYING around a corner..AND i knew him. SMH..TOTALLY restored..EXCELLENT on the highway and PLENTY of power.. LOVE this car
I had an uncle who had a 1981 Sedan DeVille with the 4-6-8 engine. Brand new. It was the first Cadillac I ever drove when I first got my permit. He, too, was rear ended. The frame got bent and all but the insurance refused to total it. They fixed it, but it never drove straight after that so he traded it in.
@@retroguy9494 DAM
is it still for sale?
is it still for sale and where can I buy it.. cash in hand
Is it still for sale??
Hello how are you, is that car still available
Clean ride
The Fleetwood ,Eldorado, Seville models came with the wreath and crest. All de villas came with crest only the v shape was a classic Cadillac emblem
This is an awesome car!! These cars were nice as shit. And yes it's slow, but that was just the standard at that time. They must have been pretty good cars because there a lot of these old DeVilles left. Unless it had the diesel option. V8-6-4 on gasoline models could be switched off easily and then the engines were fine. And honestly 12 city 22 highway was not bad for the time. The "butter" paint and interior are so beautiful.
Backseats in cadillacs weren't for backseat passengers. They were for front seat passengers to lie down and fool around on.
Hey kids these cars were never meant for speed unlike the newer ones. Comfy, quiet and cushy cruising with all the bells and whistles was what the old school Cadillacs were about. The 4100 was not a good engine so that makes this car a proper resto-mod candidate. 3 grand? Maybe. I'll go 2500 if I had the funds for a killer resto-mod for myself.
Is it still for sale
The Laurel on the hood emblem was only for Fleetwood models. The Deville only had the crest. So nothing rare, sorry!
It could last forever, if you keep the rust off of them. I would pull that engine and transmission out and install a 425 engine and transmission from a 1977 to 1979 cadillac. This way, I would have a combo car of sporty and highway cruiser. You could also use the 86 to 89 307 olds V8 that was used in cadillacs during those years because those had power and were all cast iron
You do realize that 70's 425 is connected to a front wheel drive transmission right? So you would have to adapt it to a rear wheel drive version of the TH350/400 or something like a 700R4 which is probably what this car came with factory. There's also nothing sporty about a post 1971 GM V8, that 425 is barely making 200hp in stock form and there isn't much aftermarket support for them. The 86-89 307 was only rated at 130hp about the same at the HT4100.
@@kylemichaels3373 The cadillac 425 V8 was rear wheel drive and only available from 77 to 79 in full size. What you may be referring to is the late 1960s torinado oldsmobile with front wheel drive. The eldorados also had front wheel drive, but your 425 V8 full size sedans were 400 turbo hydramatic transmissions rear wheel drive with C lock differentials There is also no post 1971 cadillac with a 425, because the cadillac 425 was
only between 77 and 79 ONLY Youre a person that decided to make up some crap. Im going to go ahead and MUTE your nonsense to save me time
Love it
I guarantee I’d burn da rubber rite off those spokes with dat Caddy
With the Daytons too?! Man run that whip.
A big YES but just wondering about the reliability of the HT4100 engine...??
Take care of it and it’ll be a daily driver
@@Butter615s Thanks John ! I decided to get her and I will take care of her.

@@philippeemami7594 I drove an 82 with the HT4100 back in the late 90s and the motor lived up to its awful reputation. If it’s lasted this long, it would be a rare survivor, but don’t rule out an engine swap in the future. If it starts making almost unexplainable intermittent noises and starts running poorly, the engine is telling you it’s close to being done.
@@timbo389 Got you Tim. Thanks for the update. I will check every single sign or leak coming from her heart.
I've had 2of these car's. One a v-6 and HT 4100. I enjoyed both. Yes i would buy that hep for $3,000.00
Do you still have it
This is a good deal, I owned a 1983 many years ago... same color coupe Deville, I had to replace the engine, with an Oldsmobile 307... .. those 4100 motors weren't too good.
Is this still for sale?
working with fact i owned a 1980 coupe, light tan in color, matching cloth. 368 v8...the last great caddy
My 78 fleetwood has the aluminum hood as well
1.28 in 1982 sounds over estimated, remember people in 1999 complaining about 1.16 per gallon.
I'd but it. And yank that 4.1 out. I currently have an 80 Coupe same color. Code 54 with the Antique Saddle Leather interior, code 603 with the same color top, light yellow. Code E
Did this sell?
My first car was that car circa 1983. I would offer $2200. It needs at least that much in work.
Oh yea? What does it need other than the headliner replaced?
Hell ya I ain't going to college i can use my savings when do I pick it up LOL
I would’ve bought this especially with the roof and gold Daytons 😮💨🔥 I’m purchasing a 74 coupe for 3,000 😎
I'd buy I mean check yall out it even made yall look cool riding in it yall even got the lean 😎
At 3000 that’s a steal!
If they are originally bald, with out the vinyl, they are very desirable.
Oh yeah!
I love this body style I would take the 4100 and put a 425 cadillac motor in it
Absolutely. Make it stock though.
Perfect car to pull in in to the "Playa Haters Ball."
The homeowner i rent from is selling his for 2800$ CA donuts no sunroof just a wheel kit on top of trunk.
Is great I love Cadillac like
I want this car !
Is this car still for sale???
I reached out to the seller. He sold the vehicle in late September.
Hell yes
No Way ! Had the nightmare HT4100 under the hood.
