Thread: 1979 Cadillac Opera Coupe Restoration

Introduction - So in 1979 212 of these cars were made. They start out life as a Cadillac Seville, then the car gets a channeling job removing the rear door section completely and the balance is moved forward and welded to the front door pillars. The roof gets chopped next and the Landau Top added, finally the entire front Clip is stretched quite some distance (you can't even see the radiator cap) extended cooling hoses, HVAC lines, transmission lines, etc completing the mod is a entire fiberglass front cap. I have already started the mods to bring the car back to life and over the next few weeks will catch everyone up to where I am now. It needs to be said here so the rest of the work is understood, THIS is the Biggest LEMON Cadillac Ever Made. First Fuel Injection Cadillac. The injectors were fired from micro switches in the distributor. Since the base engine is a Oldsmobile 350 there is plenty to work with within this resurrection.
