1985 Cadillac Seville Bustle Back 43k Miles FOR SALE by Specialty Motor Cars

[@chriskwidis2128]

My Dad had an 85 like that in 2 tone silver. He passed away last year and I actually found an 84 with the bustle back and of course I paid homage to my dad by buying it. They had a nice look

[@chitown1098]

The fake spare destroys the look of this gorgeous car. Awesome body style, awesome color combination with the two tone treatment.

[@chriscadillac8448]

Yes. That is a deal breaker... I remember when these were new and fortunately, most buyers were smart enough to skip that option... or they opted for the less revolting continental spare mounted on the rear bumper. If I were buying this car; I'd have to look for a replacement deck lid. That said, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for these Hooper/Rolls inspired bustle back Sevilles.

[@landyachtfan79]

You know, it's funny. I thought these were just about the most butt-ugly cars in the world when I was growing up. Now, I would give anything to have one.

[@SantinoWilliams3321]

The car is absolutely gorgeous, and the interior? Forgetaboutit!! 👌

[@RobertDean-x5e]

There’s still butt ugly !

[@iansnow7211]

O

[@kingblake2490]

I still think they are - thought it as a kid and still think so now.

[@bobbybrown2683]

I had a 84 but that HT4100 motor is trash. If I could have one now I would put a yukon 4.8 motor in it and ride 💪

[@robertvisscher2018]

This is a gorgeous car!! My Dad passed in 1985 but he loved this model and always wanted a Seville 😜 He had 2 Caddy Couple Devilles in the 70s. I owned a 1980 Chrysler Cordova in this color combo...so 1980s and so beautiful!!❤❤❤ Thx Anthony for keeping these cars alive!! Shout out to Papa Bear!!

[@patcurrie7808]

Good job on the fillers. Sweet Seville and gorgeous interior. I'm in the camp on fake wheel on trunk, a no go. I remember when you picked it up thinking about it.

[@johnnydeville5701]

What a gorgeous automobile! Absolutely love the color combination!

[@mattymattel5482]

My GOSH THE FIT AND FINNISH and appointments are incredible! The quality of the interior appointments are simply stunning!! Current Cadillac design teams should take a page from this incredible example of design excellence! This is what YOUR CUSTOMERS want! Not all this poorly made Japanese/Chinese BS.. Welll done Anthony, you knocked it outta the park!

[@victordohleman953]

I remember these. We had loads of them in our neighborhood in Orange County Ca back then. GM was putting out many color combos and everyone had to have something different to show off. They were trading in the 76-77 square machines and getting these.

[@walterwright8454]

I always, always loved these!!

[@fearsomebeard4290]

She’s beautiful! And yes 1885 was all about the aftermarket tire kits. That car is spot on!

[@detriot777]

Love this slant back caddy

[@my1vice]

I've always like these.... When I was selling Chevys, I used to park my demo to drive these when they came into the used car side.

[@computerweenie]

Another beautiful car Anthony.

[@PaulRavitsky]

Always adored those cars. My favorite!

[@michaelfreni5565]

Love the interior 👌 5th wheel not so much

[@bck2mono]

Wow wow wow that velour is to die for… As usual I hate the Miami Beach pimp add-ons (grille and continental kit) but… I’m old enough to remember these roaming the roads and I think they were the wife’s cars- upscale ladies who had their hair done every week… Still love em

[@zachwheeler9846]

That is the prettiest Bustle Back Seville I've ever seen! 😍I absolutely love these cars! They're design was so unique and gorgeous. I how it emulates the look of a 1930s luxury car. And the continental kit on this car looks amazing on this car, never seen one like this on one, but it looks great. Great video Anthony!

[@daveygivens735]

I might be in the minority, but I think this style is magnificent.

[@martinknoerr8037]

Anthony. I think you did an awesome job on those filler panels.

[@GaryTartell]

Beautiful anthony but those ht 4100 make me scared.i was a mechanic at a cadillac dealership in the early 80s these cars were nightmares

[@corrado9683]

Trust me, velour is the only way to go. Just imagine driving around in your favorite living room chair!❤

[@adamcampbell8794]

Beautiful

[@jasonp.greiner8239]

I always thought these were ugly cars too growing up. Now I appreciate them very much. I have a 1983 Caddy El dorado. That My father brought brand new.

[@Tatortot318]

I had to detail a Cadillac for a friend way back, these cars where gorgeous, you either loved it or hated the styling, Hers was the Dark Blue with a carriage roof and wires...Stunner

[@robertmydosh]

Great looking Cadillac!!!!!!

[@AlexanderWaylon]

A beautiful car. Designed by Wayne Kady outside and Drew Hare inside. Under Bill Mitchell. Artwork.

[@robertvance1873]

Gorgeous Car Anthony.

[@peterl9864]

Beautiful job, the car looks as it did in 1985! Growing up in my teens during this time, worked as a lot porter at the local Cadillac dealer, always enjoyed these cars.

[@Justkevin377]

In 1985 GM fixed most of the problems these cars had with the 4.1 engine so the 1985 model is the one to get. The engine is why you do not see many of them anymore.

[@pauli6043]

V8-6-4 was a colossal failure

[@timw8228]

Beautiful Seville except for the faux tire cover on the trunk lid and that horrible faux RR grille. Mine I removed the grille. Same blue velour interior. It is Sand Grey, like a cream color with a blue vinyl faux cabriolet roof. The velour interior is more rare. Most of all the Sevilles had leather seats. I love the fender monitor lights. I had my Fleetwood Brougham out yesterday evening while it was dark outside and you could see them really good.

[@tommygtr3571]

The trunk tire's gotta go. Bleeecch.

[@MM-fq3ys]

Anthony, I’ve been looking for one of these in Firemist Antelope with Doeskin leather interior with a moonroof and no continental kits or special add on grills, (no frilly stuff), in the same condition as this one or better; and I continue to look. Like you said, very hard to find them these days! If you find one like I’ve described before I do, just contact me and tell me your fair price and I’ll come visit you in NH. Keep up the good work.

[@BeauQuillen]

Bill from Bi-Curious Cars doesn't like the garbage truck Seville.

[@markj9544]

Bill doesnt like anything.. LOL!

[@Eolafan1008]

Bill is an obnoxious chain smoker.

[@BeauQuillen]

@@Eolafan1008 Don't insult my nigga Bill please.

[@KCCardCo]

I knew a retiree who had one this color new in 83 or 84. He said it was comfortable, but came with some flaws from the factory. He had a guy who did body work and had to remount the trunk lid. He could have taken it back to the dealer, but the guy who did the body work for him could fix anything and corrected whatever was wrong.

[@donwesterfield1422]

This was the pinnacle of Cadillac in it's day . Loved or hated the styling .

[@jetdust]

Beautiful survivor!! I’ve always admired these cars!!

[@caddyronward1568]

Poppa 🐻 and Anthony another beautiful Caddy Jesus Christ 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jimdellavecchia4594]

My father had an 80 or 81 Triple White Seville Roadster. It had the white roadster roof, white leather interior and Rolls Royce-style grille. Absolutely gorgeous, and it didn't have the terrible wheel on the trunk

[@DanielShaw-c9t]

Absolutely a beautiful car love it old school Cadillac exquisite

[@racerboy2212]

What a gorgeous Seville!! If only I had the funds!!!

[@JR-kl4vq]

That's clean bruh. Reminds me how dope cars were in the eighties.

[@danielberning1240]

Love the design. Love the color. Hate that awful grille and fake spare tire lump.

[@alexandermalaspino3782]

What a beauty!!! How I would love to have this baby

[@roave_music]

Very nice

[@johnminichielli8957]

Nice car. I had two pre-1980 Sevilles in my collection. Those are the ones people wanted back then and I still favor them today. The 1980 up models were not received well by Caddy enthusiasts when they first came out.

[@bmt336]

Beautiful car, but what an unfortunate decision with the trunk lid.

[@thomw4434]

what styling• awesome

[@kbVACArestatecarsnrvs]

I've always liked these Seville's but still do not like the trunk deck with the fake tire in it. I used to ride in one while in CA and it was the triple light lemon chiffon color but it had the 4-6-8 engine. Which was okay around town but not so much on the freeway when you couldn't cruise steady without traffic jams. This has a nice color combo but the interior reminds me of my Olds Tornado (same era) in that same blue velour. Leather in these are nicer to me (when they were new or kept new in today's time). Don't see them going down the road any more like the other smaller style before this era. Regardless of like and dislikes of any us, you won't be with this one too long as all others you get your hands on.

[@Lifeisshortby]

My all time favorite Cadillac.

[@michaelpfaff6009]

I have been waiting for this video!!!!!!!!!! But that ornamental continental spare tire on the trunk lid has to go.........

[@abdulazizsaleh8650]

16,000 $ its a beautiful Car....amazing Shape ❤

[@danielsmith9500]

Them fillers panels are a pain. I think u did awesome. Looks great

[@detriot777]

This car is lovely I would like to have this

[@detriot777]

Lowest price is ?

[@michaelpfaff6009]

This gen Seville ran from 1980-1985, not 1979-1985. I'm surprised that the front passenger seat is manual!! I bet that center button on the stereo was the "eject" button for the cassette tape. Looks like the under hood light needs a new bulb.

[@horizon42q]

That was the new price. We bought a 1976 for $11,000 new. It was #6 off the line.

[@seanhoward8025]

Uh, I can say they were a lot more than $16k new in 1985. MSRP in 1983 was $34k on my mom’s new one. I will say, some of the volume Cadillac dealers would take a deep discount from MSRP. My dad paid $20k for that car from Hubacher Cadillac in Sacramento. He went in to buy a Fleetwood Brougham, but they had a buttload of Eldos and Sevilles on the lot. Too bad they didn’t have the 4.5/4.9 V8 in them. Much superior to the Northstar.

[@papakountry9557]

First Cadillac I've seen without dual power seats

[@douglasb.1203]

I did not realize these were torsion bar in the front. Wild.

[@papakountry9557]

That middle button on the cassette would have been the stop/eject button Simple find and fix!! Great example of the 80s Seville

[@cudaus1]

What a beauty. Wish I would bought one new.

[@RogueBurn]

My brother had one. I think it was the diesel engine. He hated it. One day he tried to get in and start it and he didn't wait for the glow plug to warm up. They got rid of it fast. But one week he brought it down to park it in our mom's garage because Stamford, CT was a lot of thefts I guess. I was young and showed it off to the neighborhood and since then everyone became jealous of me having a wealthy brother. He didn't give me a dime. 😅

[@bruschmidt9943]

Hi Anthony. I always looked down on these 2nd Generation Sevilles 1980-85 back in the Day. The 1 exception is when they have the full cabriolet top, a Dealer installed option. May I suggest you start working on some first Generation Sevilles 1976-79? Those were timeless & Elegante (no pun intended) status symbols; the cat's meow. Very desirable cars with cliche. Please and thank'ya, Bru

[@collinreesejones5525]

Love ya Anthony & Papa Bear, as I am sure I have told you before, dying to find a 5.7 diesel Cadillac! Will buy it from you preferably or one you don't want... put me in your Rolodex! Bless you guys, enjoy all posts! Collin

[@jackjohnson7396]

Nice car...

[@scubatrucker6806]

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙Beautiful Example. One of my favorite classic caddy

[@iconicetiquette4546]

This is a such beautiful car ❤

[@gerardgalletta6943]

I had an 84 with a carriage too and True Spoke wheels. I really miss tat car. It was slow as hell but I didn’t care.

[@natel2046]

Nice Seville these cars are becoming harder to come by, I own a 76, search 3 years for one

[@WillShowmaker]

Had a two tone Grand Prix with the same colors years ago, looked great after a paint job😂

[@floridaproductions]

Thank god, you used the plastic pointer. No deal without a pointer presentation.😂

[@josephmirigliano8728]

Beautiful❤❤❤❤❤

[@paulparoma]

You could touch up the burn mark on the rear door trim with a blue marker so it wouln't stand out as much.

[@williejames2170]

I agree

[@giltracy505]

Car is beautiful,Id remove the Continental wheel in the back.

[@TVHouseHistorian]

I would literally fly back there and drive this baby back to Oregon. It would be such a pleasure to drive this baby cross-country. But no signature seatbelt chime!! 😩

[@johnthomson5290]

I was surprised not to hear any discussion about the HT4100

[@gerardgalletta6943]

Don’t get me started. The 4100 was a turd. Mine leaked coolant like crazy. And it made no power.

[@viccamppinball]

Love everything about this car and had triple white 1983 Seville and loved the ride and feel of this unusual, but fantastic car. My only problem is I don’t like the fake tire on the back of the trunk.Can this be removed of the trunk without leaving any imperfections at all and would the trunk look perfect and like factory new?

[@peteriwanow7716]

Love everything about it, except that body style. I think the dash layout is the nicest of all the Cadillacs. I'm wondering if you are going to dress up for Brougham toberfest? You know, with the shorts, socks, and hat like they do for October fest?

[@rogerdsmith]

The front two crankshaft bearings would always go out. Made an engine swap necessary. However, if you change the crankshaft with one that has good bearings, then the engine will last.

[@robertlombardi2228]

Anthony - I don’t believe you indicated what engine is in this beautiful 1985 Seville.

[@seand2711]

Ugh, that Continental kit is atrocious, completely ruins the lines of that beautiful body style.

[@zeescott4770]

Yes Anthony the missing sticker on the radio should read Stop-Eject .....

[@kennethlindstrom257]

Wow ..

[@johnpezzullo9644]

She is GORGEOUS Anthony, However I liked the first Gen Seville (1976-1979) better. She is still a Beautiful Caddy though. Hi Papa, hope you doing okay Papa.....

[@clifforddontstoptoyougeten6093]

OMG!

[@justintyme7213]

Beautiful car! Always liked this gen of Seville than the first gen. At least this has style whereas the first gen is just a basic design. IMHO. But the fake Continental spare in the back would have to go.

[@joshuagreen6346]

I drove my aunt's boy friend Cadillac Seville in highschool. It was white with blue interior. I like them, but like the tire kit in the trunk of this one. I don't like those Continental kids neither.

[@StephaneBergeron-ue7qd]

Hey! You are trying to keep it as original as possible.👍😎💙🇺🇦

[@jonharless1665]

Hey Anthony, what engine does this have? If you mentioned it in the video, I apologize in advance. Thank you.

[@thisbandreallystix]

The third brake light being mandated must have been in 1986, because the 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham I had a few years ago, it had them, and they were factory.

[@jakereal3604]

As used cars many Sevilles went to the wrong hands to "show off" and look successful but said people didn't maintain them or care for them thus they got trashed and junked

[@frankroper3274]

Haven't seen you in a couple weeks! Business must be slow this time of year.

[@markcollins457]

The only bustle back car that really pulled it off the was the Chrysler, unfortunately they introduced it to late and it had a horrible fuel injection system.

[@georl1]

I use to have a beautiful creamy yellow 2Dr Coupe DeVille. Those years Cadillac had the 4.1 aluminum engines which were Cadillac's worse engines. I went through 3 of those engines in the 8 or so years that I had the car and swore that no matter how beautiful the car is, if it had that engine I would never buy it. I love this styling of the Seville and I really love the paint combo color, but no thanks.

[@A2Bproductions1]

Can you please tell where you get the head liner done? I’m right in Nashua with a brougham in desperate need thank you

[@P.Galore]

That trunk tire is a deal breaker even if you wanted this bordello.

[@ralphschreckengost6865]

Those seats looks like Grandma's old couch but I'll bet you they're comfortable the rear end is really ugly I can't believe Cadillac did that. I remember when those came out

[@sachemrock]

Hate the spare tire on the trunk. Very garish in my opinion. I don’t like the aftermarket 3rd high level brake light either. It makes the car look cheap. Other than these 2 things it’s a pretty car.

[@mickeybinas]

What is that on the trunk lid I always thought that was the spare tire

[@TerryComo2010]

Liked the original Sevilles better than this style, and not crazy about that faux tire look on the trunk, however at least the car has style. Not like cars today that all look the same in order to meet gas mileage requirements. Looks in terrific condition, as all of Anthony's cars do.

[@gene978]

I had a paper route when this came out and I remember one of the most wealthiest Realtor was my customer and he had this car and I laid eyes on it not knowing how to feel other then WOW that’s Different! When I seen the price compared to the Broughams that were a lot more car for the money to me was no question which I would buy. I grew to like these as time marched on. Living in the north east it wasn’t common to see cars in really nice condition very long. GM with its Paint that fell off, or faded to grey if your car was any shade of red. Lincoln’s answer to the Seville “the Continental with the bustle back was a joke. If you looked really close at the front end styling you can see how the fit and finish is terrible and the styling was not a Continental. I would have taken the Eldorado or the Brougham too bad the engines sucked during this time too.
