Full custom Cadillac. I bought the car in Plano, TX then drove it back to South Florida with no problems whatsoever..none. Then enclosed trailered the car to my storage in Pittsburgh to get ready for the NE shows. Top chopped , door poppers, flamers! This is an original South LA Cruiser..for real! Trailer Queen, always garaged. TX title is 100% good..car is in Pittsburgh, PA but is not PA inspected or licensed (trailer queen, remember?) . Needs some final touches. The tires are good but are shop tires, and the steering wheel is a shop wheel. (I assume the Buyer will want his/her own wheels/tires/wheel which is why I have not changed them). Paint is recent 2-color..beautiful and really well done by one of the best shops - Murphy's - a legend in custom painting for nearly 50 years. I am getting too old to be on the show circuit and prefer to sell off. Photos accurately depict the vehicle's current (good) condition. (NOTE..the 1957 Chevy in one of the photos has been sold, so don't ask..) Also I added the Nu-Vue spots/mirrors recently which you will see in some of the photos. These are both spotlights with separate inside switches and glass side mirrors. Car runs and drives great..no problems, no smoke, no aggravation. I have been doing restorations for 40+ years and guess I am just wearing down..I like the car, you will too. Car has been continuously stored in protected garage, run regularly and serviced regularly.
Reserve is MUCH less than what I have in it...(you know you tend to spend more than perhaps you think you are going to on a car if you like it..)...Will consider ALL offers...my contact, cell, is 561.200.3404............Happy Bidding!........

*NOTE....The title is a FLORIDA title. I bought the car in Plano with a TX title. In checking my file this morning I see that I obtained a new FLORIDA NO LIEN title 06/14/2010. Why I did not remember that I have no idea. I apologize. I must be older that I think I am...

This is a message I received from a previous owner of the car which I found to be very interesting..hope you will too/interesting cars have interesting stories..and thanks to Abe for sharing this with me.."Just looking at eBay and stumbled across this beauty. I remember buying this car in '01 from Nicco"The Dragon "Hill in Southern Cali. He was a cage fighter back in the day. He called it the "Dragon Wagon", hence the dragon mural under the trunk deck. I remember another mural under the hood. It has changed a bit. I bought it black with purple ghost flames, fat white walls, the rear window opening was in the shape of the "Tapout" logo, and had a correct 64 steering wheel cut on top and bottom in the shape of a Batman symbol. Great Times! Cruising down the 405 freeway shooting 2-4 foot flames out the tailpipes. I sold it to a guy in Orange County about a month before my wedding date in 02. Thanks for the memories!"

First-edition Detroit muscle raises millions for charity at Barrett-Jackson
Mon, Jan 19 2015Amidst all the classic metal crossing the auction block each year in Scottsdale, AZ, Detroit automakers have a tradition of donating the first examples of their most enticing new muscle cars, with the proceeds of their sales going towards worthwhile charities. This year, Barrett-Jackson handled three noteworthy examples. The highest price among them was the first Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang with the VIN #001, which raised $1 million for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. General Motors donated the first new Chevy Corvette Z06 Convertible, the first retail example of the droptop supercar garnering $800,000 for the United Way. Along with the Z06, GM also donated the first new 2016 Cadillac CTS-V sedan, which brought in $170,000 for Detroit's College for Creative Studies. Although these were the headline Motown muscle machines furnished by the automakers themselves, they weren't the only vehicles auctioned off for worthy causes. A 1950 GM Futurliner bus donated by collector Ron Pratte led the charge when it brought in $4.65 million for the Armed Forces Foundation. Other lots included a custom Jeep Wrangler donated by SEMA ($85k), a new M5 donated by BMW ($800k), a '79 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst ($140k), '39 Cadillac LaSalle C-Hawk ($410k), Jeff Gordon's 1999 NASCAR-spec Chevy Monte Carlo ($500k) and a Victory Cross Country 8-Ball motorcycle ($180k). All told, the charity lots raised over $8.7 million for local and national charities.

Cadillac CT6 styling will be evolutionary, not like Elmiraj
Wed, Dec 17 2014Well, this is at least a little disappointing. It turns out Cadillac's long-awaited flagship, the CT6, won't be ushering in a wholesale change in the company's design. That's coming from GM Design guru Ed Welburn, meaning it should be taken as gospel (unless of course he's just trying to hoodwink us). "It'll be different and it will certainly stand out in the portfolio," Welburn told Automotive News. "But you won't see a real shift in direction." Instead, Art and Science will be shown in yet another new form, and will "continue to evolve," according to Welburn, although what that means is unclear. What we can say for certain, though, is that Art and Science on the CT6 will not evolve into the stunning Elmiraj Concept. "I think Elmiraj was more of an influence on some other things we're working on for Cadillac," Welburn said, we're guessing with a smirk and an air of mystery. Considering we have yet to see the CT6, it's hard to tell whether this will be good news or bad, although based on the critical reception to the Elmiraj, we're a little bit disappointed by Welburn's statements. Still, only time will tell whether the styling of the CT6 will really work out.
C7 Corvette won't spawn new Cadillac XLR [w/video]
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Between the new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray and the even newer Cadillac Elmiraj Concept shown off at Pebble Beach, we were already expecting some sort of chatter of a Cadillac XLR redux. During an in-depth C7 Corvette discussion with Tadge Juechter, the car's chief engineer, Fox News asked if a Corvette-based, Bowling Green-built Cadillac will be built off the C7. Non-spoiler alert: the answer is no.
Juechter says that General Motors has "no intent" on transforming this car into a Cadillac product since the C7 has been optimized for the Corvette buyer, a consumer that's generally a different sort of person than a Cadillac intender who might also be cross-shopping a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class or BMW 6 Series.
While we're not ready to write off a future XLR altogether, we assume that the Corvette Cadillac experiment is most likely never going to happen again. The interview with Juechter is posted below, but the XLR discussion comes in at the 9:00 mark.
