I didn't remember the specs on the '78 DeVille, but I seem to remember 
both it and the '79 year as being the biggest passenger car ever made 
and also has the honor of having the most powerful engine ever put into 
a production passenger car. The mileage is better than I thought it 
would be, but does it have an EPA emissions (smog) system? My '85 Chevy 
Caprice got 23 city after I took out the smog system. Of course we 
didn't have emissions testing where I lived at so I could do stuff like 
that and not get into major trouble.

Any officers reading the previous paragraph please ignore the last 2 
sentances, they neevver existed, they were all in your 
imagination.....yea, that's it....
;)

As for mounting the C500 board in it, you could just install a cray 
into the backseat and still have room left over for half the people at 
a family reunion.
