1964 Cadillac Convertible Rare Sierra Gold 429 Last Year Of The Fins Low Reserve on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
Hello and Thank You for viewing my auction. I am listing this beautiful vehicle today for a friend who wants to sell this to help with his new business venture. If you are viewing this auction you already know what this vehicle is and how collectible the 1964 is. I have owned a couple of 1964's myself and they are beautiful cars! The 1964 is the last year of the "classic" style with the fins and the first year of the "429" v8 engine making 340 horsepower and making it a unique one year model. Although the 1963 looked similar it carried the older "390" v8 engine instead of the new 429. This car is a very rare color combination as well with the Sierra Gold (code 46) exterior and a contrasting light sandalwood interior. The vehicle is very solid and I have personally driven around in it myself and it is a traffic stopper! It is also a factory a/c car which is all intact and was working about 5 months ago but he can not recall if it still blows cold or not. The top works flawlessly as well. The vehicle is in "driver condition" meaning you can drive it as it is and it is will draw crowds everywhere you go and it is very presentable in its current condition. You could also take it to the next level and give this vehicle the full restoration it deserves. The original carburetor was recently rebuilt by a reputable shop here in Jacksonville Florida. He has priced the reserve at a very low price to sell quickly. International bidders are encouraged to bid and we do have a port here in Jacksonville Florida. I have a friend who I have personally used to ship a few vehicles "RORO" service on a ship whom gives me great rates if you need a rate price please let me know. You can feel free to contact the owner and his name is Leo 904 651 2614 for any further questions. I have included some information from Hagerty collector car values to give you and idea of what a great value this is. This company has been around for along time and does not "over inflate" the prices of vehicles and you can actually go and look at charts they include to show value growths over a period of time. He has priced the reserve in the "number 4" condition price range. There are many qualities on this that are "number 3" condition like newer paint etc. There are things on this vehicle that make it better than a "number 4" like for instance..it does not have a cracked dash and there are no missing pieces. So where most people would describe it as a "number 3" vehicle I like to under promise and over deliver and have a happy new owner! To sum it all up..if you are looking for the $70,000 fully restored convertible, please move on to the next vehicle because this is not it. If you are looking for a nice looking driver that you can tinker with and make perfect one day then BID! The value on these old converible's is climbing quickly and a far better investment than anything out there right now from stocks to bonds because they simply do not make them any longer! Title is clean and will be transferred when the transaction is finalized. I can help load onto transport truck but all transportation fees are the responsibility of the buyer. Don't let this deal pass you by..Good Luck and Happy Bidding!
The average value for this vehicle is:
$25,388*

Hennessy wastes no time in supercharging the 2015 Cadillac Escalade
Wed, 23 Apr 2014The ink is still drying on the all-new 2015 Cadillac Escalade sales brochures, but that hasn't stopped Texas-based Hennessey Performance (HPE) from leaping out of the gate with its own high-performance variant. In stock form, the big fourth-generation Cadillac flagship arrives with a new small block naturally aspirated 6.2-liter Ecotec3 V8 delivering 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Fresh out of the showroom, the 5,900-pound SUV will sprint to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds.
While that is plenty fast for some owners, others don't want to be shamed by a 550 horsepower Mercedes-Benz GL63 AMG or a 510 horsepower Land Rover Range Rover Sport - both will leave the stock Escalade at a stoplight.
The team at HPE has come to the rescue with its HPE550 supercharger upgrade, which includes a belt-driven supercharger, air-to-water intercooler, recalibrated engine management software and a three-year/36,000 mile powertrain warranty. With 6 psi of boost, the direct-injected 6.2-liter is tuned to deliver an impressive 557 horsepower and 542 pound-feet of torque - gains of 32 percent and 18 percent, respectively, over stock. Although HPE isn't releasing performance figures as of yet, our math says that should be enough power to put the two Europeans in the Cadillac's rearview mirror. The company also offers a set of 20-inch lightweight H10 forged monoblock wheels, to further improve performance.
Chevy's low-cost pedestrian avoidance to debut on 2016 Malibu
Tue, Jul 28 2015The mainstreaming of safety technologies that began on luxury vehicles will get a big boost from General Motors later this year. The General says it plans to offer 22 driver assistance systems across its product portfolio of 2016 models, starting with the redesigned Chevrolet Malibu - the one that we know will keep tabs on teenagers for the benefit of parents. Pedestrian avoidance will be another of its available options. Instead of kitting the sedan out with numerous and expensive radar arrays, the GM system uses the camera mounted next to the rearview mirror that is already used for the lane-keeping function. New software lets it detect pedestrians, and when it detects a potential collision with one, it can alert the driver and brake autonomously if the driver doesn't react. Eventually, engineers want to give it the ability to do the same with cyclists. Because it uses existing hardware updated with new code, GM says the application costs "a few hundred dollars." GM demonstrated the Front Pedestrian Braking preventing a crash with a dummy pedestrian at speeds up to 15 miles per hour. Automotive News reports that it will reduce the severity of impact up to 40 miles per hour, but "may not be of much use in collisions at higher speeds." That feature will also join the options list of the Cadillac CT6. The press release below has more on GM's driver tech soon on the way.

Safety engineers will develop and test these and other safety technologies for products around the world at GM's new, 52-acre Active Safety Test Area at its Milford Proving Ground near Detroit. The $14 million facility officially opened Friday. "Our comprehensive safety strategy of helping customers before, during and after a crash continues," said Jeff Boyer, vice president of GM Global Vehicle Safety.
MIT puts V2V technology on its 2015 Top Ten list
Thu, Mar 5 2015Of all the technologies swimming around the automotive world, it is vehicle-to-vehicle communication that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has fished out as one of its Ten Breakthrough Technologies of 2015. It joined emerging tech like brain organoids, supercharged photosynthesis, and Project Loon on the list, and got the nod over autonomous driving because, as the MIT Technology Review wrote, V2V communication "is likely to have a far bigger and more immediate effect on road safety." How so? Because actual cars transmitting data like their location, speed, steering angle, and state of braking to one another at least ten times per second provides a greater degree of awareness than sensor readings and algorithms. The US Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have been working for years on standards and a regulatory schedule for introducing V2V to the marketplace, and Cadillac plans to incorporate V2V into at least one of its vehicles by 2017. Since we've begun the year with a number of stories of cars being hacked into, that got us wondering about the security of V2V communications. In a recent piece by our own Pete Bigelow on what motorists should know about getting their cars hacked into, he wrote that although cyber break-ins are extremely difficult, expensive, and time-consuming to do remotely, V2V is "one more conceivable avenue a hacker could use to impact multiple cars at a given time." So we spoke to Wilmington, Massachusetts-based Security Innovation about it. The automotive consultancy company has been working with the DOT since 2003 on V2V technology and the issues around it - namely security and privacy - and its chief scientist, William Whyte, is the technical editor of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1609.2 standard outlining its security protocols. Those protocols are expected to be finalized by the DOT toward the end of this year and then come into effect in 2016, and the company's Aerolink product is the security solution Cadillac will use. Whyte said, "If you hack into a car, V2V is the hardest place to start," and Pete Samson, the general manager of Security Innovation's automotive team, said "There are ten or 12 alternate attack surfaces" around the car that would make much easier targets.
