Don't sweat it. Here's another one on the bay in excellent shape, with seller
feedback at 100%. If you plan on keeping the ole Caddy, then don't let this
one slip away. Your call...HTH

I can not find it. I *know* I had a 1972 Cadillac service manual,
but can not find it for a million dollars....

I'm not sure whats left, but there *was* an entire front cap. I
think that's where the service manual went was with the 70 Coupe'
DeVille when it was sold. I know the door and hood are gone, but there
was a mirrir, button panel and mirror control, som AC parts and such. If
he wants to know and is interested I'll go look, it's all in my moms attic.
