Default Wtf-77 Cad Seville Outlaw?! 455 Oldsmobile powered

This was at my friends dealership in Tacoma when I dropped by yesterday. It’s so weird, but done to a good quality level, so I actually kinda fell for it. It looks like it was a pretty solid and complete ‘77 Seville, that has a built aluminum headed Olds 455 under the hood. The paint is a nicely executed heavy gold metal flake and the vinyl top is now alligator skin texture (!). Seems like fun for less than $20k.

LOL, that thing is trippy. Love the heavy flake. Lots of fun for $20K.

I gotta agree, it is pretty cool and most likely surprisingly fast. Be a cool sleeper.

----I have had 3 sevilles and loved all of them. Wanted to do just what this guy did without the flake, more of a sleeper, but never got around to it. Cool!.....Bill S

I had three as well, 76,77 and then a 79. They share the same platform as the Chev Nova . The front subframe from these cars is similar to the Camaro and Firebird so parts like bigger sway bars, quick ratio steering boxes can bolt in.
I was recently discussing Resto Mod possibilities with a friend and though this generation Seville with an LS would be cool.

If that was originally a diesel, then a 455 goes in slicker than a greased eel!
