Opportunities to purchase a car such as this do not happen often.   This is a very rare version of an already
rare car.  Don’t miss this chance to own this collectible vehicle!  
Information about the builder:  
Mallet Cars was founded in 1997 by 26 year racing veterans, Chuck and Lance Mallett, with the goal of
producing the fastest, highest-quality signature series of C5 Corvettes available anywhere.  Following the
success of the C5 venture, Chuck and Lance added the C6 Corvette, Cadillac’s V series models, and V8
Pontiac Solstice and V8 Saturn Sky options to their lineup.
This car was #006 for 2005.  The build included the following:

That is over $22,600 in performance upgrades alone, on top of the ~$51,000 price for the vehicle itself
when new!

As mentioned, this car has the optional Mallett Wheels, of which there were reportedly only 25 sets
produced.   Considered to be one of the best looking wheels for a first generation CTS-V, these one piece
forged wheels feature a durable finish and strong, light weight construction.  These wheels alone still sell
for $2-3,000 on the rare occasion that they come up for sale.

- At just over 33,000 miles from new, this car is in excellent condition.   The exterior has been very

well cared for, as has the interior.  The interior is free from any rips, stains, damage, or excessive
wear. The exterior is very good as well, with the paint being in quite good shape, aside from one
small blemish on the front bumper, as shown in the pictures.  Overall it shows very well.


Mechanically, the car is very sound:

- Runs great; no drivability issues.
- According to Chuck Mallett, this car put 438hp to the rear wheels after receiving its
modifications.  That calculates to approximately 503hp at the crankshaft.
- This car was under extended warranty until early this spring, and so has always had any required service done in a very timely manner.

- Everything works on the car, exactly as it should.  No issues or surprises.
- Car has had the oil changed religiously every 3,000 miles.  Mobil 1 synthetic only.
issues taken care of in a prompt and through fashion.  
- Window tint is 2% all the way around.  

While under warranty, the rear differential was upgraded to the fourth and best

 revision of the design, due to the original unit developing a slight whine as so many of the early versions are prone to do.

- Full dealer service records are available.

Current owner has owned the car since 2008, at which point it had 11,700 miles on it.  It has never seen
snow, and has only been caught in the rain a handful of times.  Very well cared for, always stored during
winter, etc. 

Comprehensive photo set available; send message as eBay policy doesn't allow for the link to be posted here.

I will assist with shipping the vehicle if the buyer chooses.  Arrangements for shipping and payment for shipping are buyer's responsibility.

Serious inquiries only, please.

Chip Foose is bringing life to a Cadillac sketch from 1935

Sun, Aug 7 2016

General Motors, automotive home of Harley Earl, was a pioneer in the early days of car design. But for as many wild concept cars and even production cars as the company's studio created, there were still many that never got off the paper. Chip Foose is working to change the fate of one of those designs. According to Foose Design, Chip Foose's latest project is based on a sketch from 1935. Car dealer Wes Rydell and his wife Vivian commissioned a custom Cadillac coupe that was sketched out by GM designer Art Ross. It would take an existing Cadillac sedan, shorten it, lower it and give it a removable hardtop. The drawing is as far as the project got. Now Chip Foose is working on realizing the design in real life using a 1939 Cadillac Series 60 Sedan. He plans to follow the initial design brief, but with his own unique touches. He has also named the project "Madam X" in honor of what Harley Earl would call client projects. It is scheduled to be finished and ready for unveiling at the end of the summer. Foose is a well-known designer who has won some of America's most prestigious custom car awards such as the Ridler Award and designed vehicles for the TV show Overhaulin'. The final product should be quite a striking machine. You can see how it's coming along, as well as Foose's sketch of what the car will finally look like, in the gallery above.

GM wants to have 10 plug-in models in China in five years

Sun, Apr 24 2016

Last we checked, General Motors was selling all of three plug-in vehicle models in its home country of the US, and is prepared to make the Chevrolet Bolt EV available on these shores later this year. So it's notable that the automaker is hatching plans to have at least 10 plug-in variants for sale in China within the next five years, according to Hybrid Cars. Which plug-ins are coming remains a mystery. GM started selling a hybrid version of the Buick LaCrosse in China this month. The strategy makes sense, as China is now the world's largest car market, and accounts for about a third of GM's annual revenue. The automaker, which operates in China under the SAIC-GM and SAIC-GM-Wuling joint ventures, sells cars there under the Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, and Boujun badges, and has been doing so for the better part of two decades. Most recently, GM started selling a hybrid version of the Buick LaCrosse in China this month. What we do know is that GM is building its Cadillac CT6 Plug-in Hybrid in China, with distribution to be split between China and the US. That model, which is scheduled to start sales by the end of the year, is being built overseas because of a combination of Chinese government support for new-energy vehicle technology through incentives and the fact that battery-pack maker LG Chem makes most of its cells in nearby South Korea. The plug-ins are part of a broader plan by General Motors to either introduce or substantially tweak about 60 models by the end of the decade. With such new models, GM looks to boost unit sales by as much as five percent a year for the next few years. As for the other nine plug-in models slated for China by 2021, the company is mum. GM spokesman Dan Flores declined to comment to AutoblogGreen.

GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee

Tue, Sep 8 2015

General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.
