- 8.2L V8 powerplant with a 3-speed automatic transmission

The Appeal
The De Ville was redesigned by General Motors for 1971 by Bill Mitchell, and what a redesign it was. It was one of the longest, widest cars ever built, with a particularly roomy interior and an impressive angular design, right down to details such as the eggcrate grille and the squared headlights.
This example comes to us with a particularly striking metallic orange paintwork, with a cream interior and its distinctive retro persona fully on display.
