Well, the paperwork supposedly has been completed and I'm now the new owner of a '79 Coupe with just over 2800 original miles. I bought it from the Barrett-Jackson people out in Arizona. It was a car they purchased in a collection some time back. It's supposed to be in mint condition, will be delivered to me in a week or so. Can't wait to get behind the wheel!  http://www.barrett-jackson.com/selec....asp?id=184097

Thanks everyone!
Benzilla: It was 14K even.
89fatb: It will be covered and stored in my garage, but will be driven and enjoyed. Probably a thousand or so miles a year. May drive it to some local shows from time to time. |

Congratulations. What an outstanding prize - a seminal and quintessential piece of automotive artistry. There is something special about the 1979 Cadillacs. I still dream of the '79 Fleetwood Brougham I once owned-what a Cadillac. Again, congratulations on your immaculate "new" '79 deVille! |

It's waiting to be picked up by the transportation company next week for its 2300 mile journey to NC. So it'll be a while before I can take pictures. Here's the interior shot from the B-J site:
