1966 Cadillac DeVille

Great Driving Car

Black Interior

This is a 1966 Cadillac I bought about a year ago to go cruise around in and enjoy.  I wanted one of these cars and kept finding ones that were perfect (approx $20,000) or junk (approx $2500).  I wanted something in between that I could enjoy driving but not have to worry about breaking down constantly or being afraid to touch it because it was so nice.  I found that in this car.  

This car is a VERY nice example of a 1966 Cadillac.  It is in good shape overall with very little rust.  This car has never been restored but has been painted.  I am a very picky person and I can live with the paint.  It is about an 8/10 in my opinion.  From a couple feet away, it looks great but you can find issues in it if you look hard.  It does have some rust in the places all these cars rust.  A little behind the back window is starting to come up and there is some beginning to show at the bottom of the trunk lid.  Neither is very bad at all.  The bumpers could be re-chromed but don't look too bad the way they are now.  The interior is in very good condition also.  The headliner is perfect.  The seats and carpet are really nice.  The windows all work surprisingly fast and the AM radio even works good.  The dash pad has a crack in it and there is something missing right above the steering wheel on the dash pad. That is the worst part of the interior as you can see in the pictures.  

Mechanically the car is in great condition.  I just had the driveshaft rebuilt and it is very smooth at highway speeds.  The transmission had a small leak when I got the car.  It was a rear seal and I had it replaced.  The person that I bought it from just replaced the window rubbers, some bushings underneath the car, put 4 new tires on it, and had it aligned.  It drives great.  The car still has drum brakes on it and stops like a car with drum brakes.  Not bad, just different than a new car.  The mileage shows at 31,358.  I have had the conversation with multiple antique car people and we think this is the original mileage.  The driveline is really tight and the car is nice enough to have only 31,000 miles.  

I have enjoyed this car but I bought a couple more cars and don't have room for this inside anymore.  I don't want to store it outside and watch it ruin so I am going to let someone else enjoy it.  If I had to rate this car between Perfect (10) and Junk (1), it would be a good solid 8.  You will not find another one that is ready to enjoy that is this nice for this kind of money.  KEEP IN MIND, THIS CAR IS NOT PERFECT, IT IS A UNRESTORED, 1966 MODEL CAR.  Feel free to ask questions and I'll get them answered as soon as I can.  

I can deliver it to a shipping terminal in Birmingham, Al if necessary.

Cadillac reveals stretched ATS-L in China

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

In the market for a new Cadillac, but need more space than an ATS can afford? Then you'll want to look at the larger CTS. Unless you live in China, where buyers - often chauffeured instead of driving themselves - seem to prefer a long-wheelbase version of a smaller sedan than upgrading to a larger one. For those buyers, Cadillac has released the new ATS-L.
Based on the existing ATS sports sedan, the ATS-L offers an extra 3.3 inches of rear legroom over the model we get here. As a result, the ATS-L stretches its wheelbase to 112.5 inches and its overall length to 186 inches, while riding a quarter-inch lower than the standard-wheelbase model, which itself was recently updated. That places its length in between the regular ATS and the CTS available Stateside.
Otherwise it's essentially the same sedan, but appears to ditch the base 2.0-liter four to offer either the 2.0-liter turbo four or 3.6-liter V6. Of course this model, produced locally for the Chinese market, isn't likely to make the transpacific voyage to US showrooms, so American buyers will still have to choose between the standard ATS, the larger CTS or the even larger XTS.

First-edition Detroit muscle raises millions for charity at Barrett-Jackson

Mon, Jan 19 2015

Amidst 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. BARRETT-JACKSON REACHES HISTORIC HIGHS FOR SALES, CROWDS AND CELEBRITY APPEARANCES IN SCOTTSDALE • Barrett-Jackson sold 1,611 vehicles, which went for more than $130 million (unaudited), smashing records in the company's 44-year history during the 10-day auction at WestWorld of Scottsdale • Automobilia sales nearly tripled world records, with 2,000 pieces selling for more than $6.55 million • Celebrity attendance and crowds, along with ratings on Discovery and Velocity, spike SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Jan. 18, 2015 – Barrett-Jackson, The World's Greatest Collector Car AuctionsTM, reached historic highs during the Scottsdale auction at WestWorld from Jan. 10-18, 2015.

Playboy reveals its 2013 Cars of the Year

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Vaunted men's magazine Playboy knows that its readers are nearly as interested in cars as they are in the female anatomy... sorry, we thought we could write that with a straight face. Anyway, the buff-book does occasionally fill some of its spreads with sexy metal, to accent all the rest of the sexiness.
To wit, the magazine has unveiled its feature on the 2013 Cars of the Year. Without giving us much in the way of criteria for the awards, nor a clear framing of the categories ("Responsible Ride" is a particularly challenging concept, especially when you consider that the Mazdaspeed3 was the winner), Playboy has nevertheless highlighted what we assume to be it's favorite 12 or 13 (depending on how you count) cars from the 2013 model year.
Headlining the class is the Porsche 911, which Playboy writers single out for having "remarkable electronic voodoo." BMW M5 is named "Slickest Sports Sedan" though the Cadillac ATS then follows on because "we couldn't resist giving the new Caddy a shout-out." The rest of the picks are pretty conventional (save, perhaps, the Honda Fit EV as "Ace Electric"), even if the categories and methodology are fairly wonky. Cruise through or gallery for a taste or check out the full list, here. The site is safe for work, and you can legitimately (this time) say that you were reading it for the articles.
