Whoa Nelley, 1982 and it's over for you. I've related the story that happened to me recently, but I will relate it again. A coworker said to me, "I've been looking for you for two weeks. I know you've been out of town in Wisconsin". He shows me a car (1986 Fleetwood RWD assembled at Clark Street and of course with a 307 Olds V8) that he and his dad found locally. He had popped the glovebox. Inside was my father's business card from the dealership. Yep, my father sold that Cadillac new. That was pretty unique..... We got the VIN, we win: 1G6 for US made Cadillac, A for manual seat belts, D for DeVille, 47 for two door, 8 for 4.1L (252 CID) V8 with TBI/DFI, aka RPO code "LT8", aka "1-2 punch out to lunch", aka "I hear you knocking", 3 is a check digit, C for the 1982 model year, 9 for Clark Street, Detroit, MI assembly and the rest is the production sequence. Yup, you know the drill with the HT4100 V8, we've been down that road before. The Clark Street plant closed in December 1987. No tag, can't brag, but can be figured out, no doubt: C for 1982 model year, 6CD69 for Cadillac (6) DeVille (CD) two door (47), FWD for Fleetwood Body plant, West End Ave, in Detroit, MI with final assembly at Clark Street, 54L 54U for Colonial Yellow lower and upper exterior paint, 04A,B,C etc. for April 1982 production, possible 74 for Carmine (Red) interior trim, among other codes. Correct, no SPID in 1982, you'd have to find the build sheet or broadcast sheet for the options. 1984 is the first year for the SPID in GM passenger cars. This would have had the THM200-4R four speed automatic overdrive transmission, RPO code "MW9". Whoa Nelley, Cadu, it's over for you. That's it, time to quit. RPO code "LT8" was never great. Made in Fleetwood and now it's no good. Going to be flat and that's that. Cadillac ain't worth jack. "MW9" is out of time. 4.1 and it's done. Please don't get squished because although the HT4100 is a heap, many here, including the Google Man are going to be very, very, very, very pissed.
@ I am sorry for your loss. I lost mine in March of this year. Recently I found a few voicemails from him on my phone I didn’t know where there and hadn’t heard before. So I can relate to what you shared.
@@diedonner299 Same. That's great that you have those, you'll have a lot to remember him by. The best thing to do is carry on with life and honor their legacy.
Those front bumpers were a hot commodity in the 80s. It was a common sight to see Caddys driving around in NY with the bumper missing. Eventually owners started getting them welded, and over time there was no demand for them.
Correct. Dealerships sold a "protection package". What they would do is braze a coat hanger over the bolts to prevent someone from using a socket to remove them. They would then just steal the car and chop the bumpers off at a shop and dump the carcass. LOL.
HEY BEN-O ,, THE CADDY MAN. YOU FIND THEM ALL , STOP KILLING THEM WE LOVE THEM,,.. GREAT --LOWRIDERS.. SO SAD . PRICING THEM W/STICKERS ,,WOW!! TRAINS MY SON MAX 9 YR.S LOVES. THX.
Keep those caddy’s coming I love them
That never should have been brought to the junkyard. It could have been sold to someone to fix up
Damn I wished I had a place to work on it because this is the exact Cadillac I want to make a lowrider sled out of!!

Well cool great job again man ❤❤❤❤❤❤
My friends parents bought a coupe like that brand new, yellow exterior, yellow interior. His moms fav colors. Lime green/yellow interior in the house!
If it was like this one, it was likely code 54 Colonial Yellow exterior paint.
