Selling due to health reasons.

We are selling our Allante. We've had lots of fun with it - now it's time for someone else to enjoy this ride. I purchased it from Hilton Head (South Carolina) Cadillac. I believe that we are the 3rd owners according to the Used Car Manager there (who's no longer there). We are selling the car AS IS with NO warranty.

The car is still stylist after 20 years! Driving down the road; filling up with (premium) gas at the station; it still draws looks and smiles.

The best Allantes, in my opinion, were the last ones; the ones built in 1993. The 93s came with the Northstar 32 valve V-8 rated at 295 HP. These engines feature spirited acceleration and excellent economy. Cadillac says top end is 151 MPH. 15.5 mpg city; 22 mpg on the road - actual mileage. GM finally silenced the Allante's critics who said of the early versions: "All show and no go." This car is a ROCKET!

The 1993 also came with Cadillac's traction control. If you've ever owned at Front Wheel Drive vehicle with an engine with muscle you know all about front wheel torque. I had a 1992 Mercury Sable with the 3.8 V-6. Very responsive - and very scary. I punched the gas just one time. The car took off like a scared rabbit. But it also pulled violently to the right - and then violently to the left - and then I had to correct. The RAPID acceleration of the 1993 Allante is straight and true. Not even the slightest pulling left or right. If you have the courage, you can let go of the steering wheel and punch the gas. NOT RECOMMENDED!

This is a nice riding car! It is not stiff nor hard. After a long ride my back still felt fine.

Body - is aluminum.

Driver's seat shows wear. Both power seats are in working order.

NON SMOKER. No evidence of cigarette smoke in the car. Ash tray shows no signs of use.

TOP - Is the rare Burgundy colored top. There were only about 4200 Allantes made in 1993 - several body colors were available. Add to that the $1000 premium for the Pearl White body paint option, and you have a very rare and unusual car. The top is in excellent condition for its age - no rips nor tears. The window heater works.

RARE - There were a total of 22,000 (approx) Allantes made over a 7 year period. Designed and built in Italy by Pinifarini and shipped 53 at a time to Detroit (Hamtramack) via Air Italia in specially designed 747s. In the 7 years, only one change was made: the window wings in the doors were removed and the mirrors moved up for better visibility in the 1993 model. With tail lights going for $750. each - and a trunk lid going for a supposedly $4K - these cars are worth more for parts. It's a good investment.

Tires - UNIROYAL "Tiger Paws" 225 60R 16 - show very little wear. I purchased 2 new tires to match the 2 new ones that came with the car. They have about 4000 miles on them. The spare donut looks like it has never touched the road - and the cover instructions specifically designate "ALLANTE."

REPAIR History: I had the car shipped to the local Cadillac dealership. A new battery was installed. The transmission was serviced. I believe it was the front right ball joint was replaced. Coolant was flushed. Light bulbs replaced. More recently I had a new alternator installed, a new serpintine belt, the top motor mount replaced as well as the trunk locking mechanism. All work was done at the local Cadillac dealership.

The ON BOARD COMPUTER that monitors just about everything - works and reads that all systems are OK.

The 150 Watt stereo is original and works.

The CD player and the cassette player DO NOT WORK. Car comes with my favorite Beatles' album trapped inside the CD player.

The power antenna works.

The A/C needs to be recharged. This could be a major expense. We bought the car to drive as a convertible; we were never interested in air conditioning.

The two red covers over the vanity mirrors in the sun visor are both broken. The plastic does not like the sun and the tiny plastic hinges are fragile (and poorly designed). Both covers are included. I was going to use a rubber band to keep them in place. Replacements may be available from the Allante Club President, Johnny M. The Club has a website.

I took the 2 black fabric over plastic convertible motor covers off. These are the ones that connect the top to the front windshield. They seemed to be always in the way. The motors work well. The covers are included. The back tie down motor works flawlessly.

Comes with 2 1993 Cadillac Shop Manuals.

The 2 gas filled cylinders that hold up the trunk are weak. In the trunk you will find 2 new replacements. They look like they would be easy to install.

Comes with memorabilia: magazine articles, VHS tapes, etc.

Comes with extra parts: 2 high visibility brake lights: 1 is from a 1993 (no Cadillac emblem) and one is from 1987-92 (with Cadillac crest).

Comes with original Cadillac replacement chrome strip for front bumper in original box. I have an estimate of $350. to replace the chrome strip and repaint the lower section of the passenger side door. There is a spot about the size of a silver dollar where the clear coat has flaked off. See picture.

Comes with original 4 silver/aluminum wheels - I added the chrome wheels - something I thought I'd never do with any car of mine. The Pearl White Allante screams for chrome. It's a great look, in my opinion. The original wheels are included in case you prefer that look.

We are selling the car AS IS with NO warranty.

A $500. paypal deposit is required within 48 hours. The balance is due within 7 days. PayPal or a certified (Bank) check are acceptable. I reserve the right to hold the sale until your check clears.

Transportation - I can help. I have used McNutt (Missouri based) to transport two vehicles. Cost is approximately a dollar a mile. You can drive the car home. It should be fine. Again, no warranty. You are purchasing the car as is.

You are welcome to drop by and inspect the car. USE the "Ask the Seller a Question" option and include your phone number. I will call you will directions.

Whew! Thanks for reading all of this - and thanks for looking.

On Oct-15-13 at 14:53:26 PDT, seller added the following information:

AUCTION WINNER will secure his/her own insurance PRIOR to pick up. Insurance for a classic auto is inexpensive - I think I pay $100/year. You really want insurance to protect your investment. Relying on the car hauler's insurance could be disappointing should there be a lost incurred during transit.

Transportation - I have used McNutt Transportation to haul 2 cars for me in the past - with excellent results. The cost is about a dollar a mile. The winner will arrange - AND PAY- for transportation.

Thanks. Len

GM cutting production at two plants

Thu, Feb 26 2015

General Motors is continuing to adjust to excess supply of some of its brands' models. To get production more in line with the vehicles' actual demand, the automotive giant is idling two of its factories in North America in the coming months. The Orion Assembly plant is going to be down from March 9-13, according to an anonymous plant worker and another insider speaking to Automotive News. The factory builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, but there are plenty of both models sitting on dealer lots, including 216 days worth of Sonics, according to AN. The factory already had two idle periods announced to reduce the excess. In addition, downtime is scheduled at GM's "Flex" line at the Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, plant from April 13-17. This affects supply of the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala, Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS. Among them, the automotive giant has the largest supply of Regals ready for dealers with 213 days worth of them, according to AN. The future for the whole Oshawa factory is cloudy in general, though. There are rumors that it could close entirely in the future because the Camaro is leaving and the Regal and XTS might not last much longer than 2017. The Canadian government and the labor union there intend to put up a fight, though.

Cadillac previews CT6 interior and its 34 Bose speakers

Fri, Mar 27 2015

We get an early monochrome look at the upcoming Cadillac CT6 interior thanks to its stereo system. Bose will debut its Panaray Sound System in the flagship sedan and have 34 speakers located throughout the cabin that will have the occupants bathing in sound. A close look at the interior mock-up shows little visible difference between the CT6 and the praised CTS; the only thing we could find was that the headrests are slightly different and the seat switches have been moved to the doors, a la Mercedes-Benz. As for that Panaray, Bose says it incorporates elements from the company's home and professional audio products, and was designed "exclusively" for this car. We don't know if that means it was tuned for the CT6 or that it will only ever be available on the CT6. Nor do we have any detailed specs on it at the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more tidbits and a high-res graphic above with details on each speaker. Bose Introduces First-of-its-Kind Panaray® Sound System for First-Ever Cadillac CT6 Advanced automotive sound system integrates elements from home products DETROIT, 2015-03-26 Â– Thirty-five years ago, Bose and Cadillac defined premium automotive audio, forever changing how people listen to music in a vehicle. Now Bose is introducing its most advanced and highest-performing automotive sound system Â– the BoseÂ® PanarayÂ® system, designed exclusively for the Cadillac CT6 sedan. The 2016 CT6 is a first in its segment, combining the prestige and technology of a range-topping vehicle with the dynamics and efficiency of a smaller one. The Panaray system marks the global debut of Bose Automotive's new line of "Advanced Technology Series" sound systems, integrating technologies and design elements from Bose home entertainment and professional audio products to deliver unprecedented performance in a car. "We asked Bose to create something truly special for this new vehicle: an unbounded sound system, providing an audio experience unmatched in any other luxury automobile," said Travis Hester, Cadillac CT6 executive chief engineer. "Cadillac CT6 customers will be elated by what they hear and feel when they switch on the Bose Panaray system." The BoseÂ® PanarayÂ® system reproduces music with more clarity, precision and deep bass than any system preceding it.
