Hello all,

I just picked up a 1978 GMC Caballero Diablo that appears completely original except for an older repaint. This is a true Diablo as verified from the original invoice from GM Media Archive and Winvoices who reproduced a window sticker showing the correct YE7 option code for the Diablos. Other options include 350, auto, PS, PB, AC, Gauge Package, Cruise, Bucket seats. With 74,000 miles on the clock, absolutely no rust anywhere despite this car originally being sold in Ohio, and the fact the interior has no cracks, I have to assume someone really babied this car and had it stored inside at all times.

I saw your post about entering your car in the monthly contest before I saw this post and have already declared it to be a worthy contender for the monthly prize.
GOOD LUCK.
