Hi!
I have been looking at a 69 deville conv with the 472. it hasnt been driven since 1994, but the owner claims that he starts it every year. From what i could see both front fenders are rusted at the base neer the doors. I couldnt turn the motor by hand, it needs a new top, but the interior is good without cracks. it only has 56000 miles on the odometer. He wants 1500, but i can probably get it for 1000. where can i get the fenders for these cars? are there other known rust traps on this model? Is it a fair deal?

 

Check The Gardin of Speedin for parts locator guides here:http://www.gardenofspeedin.com/parts...prodcaddy.html
Also www.cadillacking.com advertises in http://www.hemmings.com/ as having a wide variety of used restoration parts.
I am not that familiar with either of these, but they seem like a good start for parts questions.

The Cadillac Lasalle club messageboard at http://www.cadillaclasalleclub.org/ can also be a good source of info on older cars.

 

Where do you live at? ..I had the same problem with mine...I have a friend the made patch panels and fixed my fenders...
