1961 Cadillac Convertible **** NO RESERVE **** Cars History: About 25 years ago the owner at the time parked the car in his garage because the water pump was leaking. He removed the water pump and bought a replacement that was wrong and never finished the job. The car sat there over the years until it was purchased by a neighbor and then shortly after by myself. Description: This "barn find" is a very restorable project car and in above average condition for its age in my opinion. The car will be sold on a bill of sale, if you are a US buyer I can help with the documentation for importation as I am familiar with the process. Body: The body has the usual rust and dents but I consider it decent. I have not had it on a hoist but the rear floor on the drivers side has been patched needs work, a replacement panel is about 70.00 on ebay. The car is blue from factory, it has been repainted and touched up. There is some rust in the rockers one fender skirt is missing the other has rust. Look at the pictures carefully and decide for yourself and feel free to call me for a description of any area you are particularly concerned with. Mechanical: I hooked a gas can to the fuel line and car started and ran. The transmission went into drive and reverse and the brakes held it while it was in gear. I was not able to run it long without a water pump or drive it, but the engine sounded good and the exhaust was not loud. The car has been parked for a long time and will need to be put through the normal process of fluid changes servicing that would be expected before a proper mechanical assessment can be made. Interior: The interior is blue leather and in poor condition. I removed the carpet as it was musty and stained, there are no splits in the dash, the drivers door window switches and power seat switch is missing other wise it appears to be complete and original. The leather will need to be completely redone. The top holds out the elements but the stitching is coming loose and will need to be replaced. Reason for selling: I have several cars and not enough time to complete all the projects I have taken on, as a result some are being sold. Location: The car is located near Salmon Arm British Columbia. I can help load the vehicle and in many cases I can help arrange shipping. If your looking for a shipping quote I will only do this for the winning bidder as it is very time consuming for me. The Seller: Although I have 0 feed back, this is a second Ebay account for me, my main account is Maracars with over 700 feed back and 100% positive rating. I've started a new account just for the cars I'm selling for book keeping reasons. Overall: These cars are rare and desirable, I know this one is a little rough and needs work but this is your chance to buy a Cadillac Convertible for less than you paid for your house and drive while you restore it. The car is 98% complete so you won't have to spend time and money on hard to get parts and I don't think it is far from being a drivable car. If you have less than 10 feedback call me before you bid or your bid may be canceled. SCAMMERS: I've heard it all before, don't waste your time or mine. This car is for sale locally as well so I reserve the right to cancell the auction. If you want to view the car in person or by agent, or if you have any questions give me a call at (250) 515-1110 or send me an email through Ebay. Thanks for looking. |

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
2015 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra recalled for steering issues
Thu, Sep 13 2018DETROIT — General Motors Co is recalling more than 1 million pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles in the United States due to issues with a temporary loss of power steering, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said. The recall is for 2015 models. They are: the Chevy Silverado 1500, Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon and Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade. The problem may cause difficulty steering the vehicle, especially at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash, the auto safety regulator said in a document dated Sept. 12. The document did not highlight any reports of accidents and injuries, because of the power steering issue. GM dealers will update the power steering module software, free of charge for owners of the affected vehicles. In 2014, the No.1 U.S. automaker had recalled nearly 800,000 pickup trucks worldwide because of the same problem. GM did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Related Video:
