Very nice Allante with only 99k miles. I got the car about seven years ago from an Uncle who passed away. He was the second owner of the car, and all owners (including me) were over 60 years old.

About two years ago someone broke out the passenger side window and tried to steal it. The car had a key in the ignition that was not mine, but apparently it didn't work because the car was right where I had left it.

After the police left and I got in the car to leave it wouldn't shift out of second gear. It starts off smoothly and shifts from first to second smoothly, but won't shift from second to third, or third to fourth. I had never had any problem with the transmission prior to this incident.

It runs great in second gear and doesn't make any unusual noises so I'm certain there is no damage to internal parts. I talked to a guy who specializes in Allantes (http://www.allantesource.com/index.html), and he seems to think that the computer was messed with, which can affect shifting. He also said that a worse case scenario (about $400-500) would be the replacement of a shift modulator. The part itself is inexpensive, but requires removal of transmission to replace.

The engine runs perfectly, and exterior of the car is near perfect. Florida car with original pearl white paint that shines like new, with zero rust. The top doesn't leak, and I had just replaced radiator and catalytic converter. I start the car up about once a month, and occasionally drive it around the block.

The drivers seat leather is in perfect condition, but the stitching has come undone on the bottom cushion. The passenger side seat is also in great condition, but you can see where the stitching is also getting ready to go.

My Uncle also got factory "Vogue" wheels and tires from the local Cadillac dealer, and paid over $3,000 for them.

This car could be one of the nicest Allante's around with around $1000-$1200 spent on it (considerably less if the computer just needs resetting). I'd keep this car and do the repairs if my finances allowed,

Feel free to call me at 727-688-FISH (3474) Cell or 727-388-1322 home for more details

Hotter Cadillac ATS-V+ could use LS7 power

Tue, May 26 2015

Rumor has it Cadillac is working on an even hotter version of the ATS-V, possibly called ATS-V+. And the latest intel from Motor Trend suggests this new model might have a great, big V8 under the hood. The V8 in question is the high-revving, naturally aspirated 7.0-liter LS7 from the Camaro Z/28. The hand-built engine makes 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque in the Z/28 – a nice increase over the 464 hp and 445 lb-ft in the standard ATS-V, which uses a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6. Motor Trend says the ATS-V+ will come to market with an eight-speed automatic transmission, as well as the seven-speed manual 'box from the Corvette. A dual-clutch transmission will come to market later. Of course, we'll believe it when we see it. But an LS7-powered ATS-V sure sounds like a great package to us. Here's hoping.

Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable

Sun, 10 Aug 2014

A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.

Is this the 2014-15 Cadillac Escalade?

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

Following the introduction of the redesigned Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, we're expecting General Motors won't wait too much longer to show off the next-generation fullsize SUVs that share this platform - including the Cadillac Escalade. It's still not clear if the next Escalade will debut for the 2014 or 2015 model years, but Carscoops has what it claims to an exclusive first look of the new Cadillac, revealing a portion of the headlight, front fascia and wheel.
Judging from this small picture, it looks like the Escalade could incorporate styling cues that we've seen on new Cadillac models like the ELR and the 2014 CTS, but that article says that other design details could include tall, vertical taillights similar to the CTS Wagon, staggered-width wheels and a narrower daylight opening for the side windows. The last time we saw the fourth-generation 'Slade back in October in spy shots, the heavy camouflage prevented us from getting an idea of the luxury SUV's appearance, but this image and description gives us something to look forward to. Head on over to Carscoops for more potential information as well as a full rendering from back in January.
