Hello to all ebayers,.....

******ATTENTION!!!!******For an EXTENSIVE COLLECTION of CURRENT PICTURES ((132+/-))!!!!!, PLEASE CLICK on the link directly below this sentence******

 PLEASE READ.....

                                                      .....up for your consideration and/ or bid is yet another old classic out of my 30 year+ collection.   This one being a 1968 Cadillac DeVille 472 Big Block Convertible!!!   Like everything in my collection,  the Cadillac is currently not a "turn-key-driver" and will need some work.   I purchased the Cadillac 15 years ago in 1999 and it has been used little since,...it has spent most of the time in storage.  For the Cadillac to be a "turn-key-&-go-driver",...it needs the following regards to the front of the Cadillac,...brake shoes need replacing ((both sides)) and 1 brake drum replaced (D/S/ it is missing completely).  The rest of the shoes seem fine, but the other 3 drums will need to be turned down a little and cleaned up ((some surface rust that needs to be removed)) due to sitting all those years.  The master cylinder needs to be filled with fluid and bled out, ((brake lines are good)), needs canvas convertible top, battery, lastly a tune up probably.....((good running, but last started 1+ year ago)), burns no oil, trans works great and clean transmission fluid.   The engine turns over smoothly and rapidly when using a good battery with some high amperage,...a low amperage battery is just simply inadequate for an engine of this size and compression,...being a 472 Big Block.

The sheet metal threw-out the Cadillac is pretty decent all and all,.....there are some rust issues "here and there" due to the age of the Cadillac being 46 years in the Northeast,......please LOOK at ALL the DETAILED PICTURES because "good",  "bad" or "indifferent" varies widely according to the viewer.   The convertible top bows and frame-work are all complete with NO RUST, NO BENDS and NO BREAKS.  The convertible top motor along with the hydraulic arms and hydraulic lines are all original, in place, excellent condition and worked perfectly fine when last tried/ operated 5 years ago in 2009.   The tires all-the-way-around are excellent and hold air fine with no problems,...the spare is the only exception and a little "tired",...but holds air for 3 hours (+/-).  *****NOTE*****The Cadillac free-rolls 100% and NO brakes are seized,...therefore will load with ease.

I've stated all that I know about the Cadillac as factual as possible.  Due to the age and amount of sitting for years, this Cadillac does not come with any guarantees or warranties expressed or implied and is sold as is where is.  For the winning bidder I offer FREE delivery BUT only if you are local and/or up to only 20 miles away. If you are 21-100 miles from the Cadillac I offer delivery for a fee of $1.00 per mile.  I do not offer any delivery options over 100 miles and I certainly do not offer any long haul options from state to state either.   Any winning bidder that is in the "over 100 mile category" it is up to you to make shipping arrangements and of course all transportation and shipping costs are the expense of you...(the winning high bidder).   At my discretion, I may extend the free delivery from 21-100 miles if the Impala reaches a dollar amount I deem acceptable. Should you use your own trailer/equipment to pickup the Cadillac,...I offer FREE loading assistance to you with my Rollback and equipment,...or I'll assist the carrier of your choice (should you hire one),...also FREE of charge.

PLEASE NOTE;...the state of Maine does not/ will not issue a title for ANY automobile/ vehicle of 1995 and prior. I do not have a title and the Cadillac comes with a bill-of-sale as ownership. ADDITIONAL NOTE;...some states will not accept a bill-of-sale as ownership of a vehicle,...please check with your individual state.  FOR THOSE PERSPECTIVE BIDDERS THAT FIT INTO THIS LAST CATEGORY,...please let me know, as I can easily obtain a legal document from the state of Maine called (("Letter of Verification" @ 1 (207) 624-9000 extension 52149)) so that you can take this paperwork to YOUR state DMV you reside in and YOUR STATE will issue you a new title in your state.  I've done this may of times before and to my knowledge this is the only perfectly legal way for bidders from title-demanding states to get a title for a vehicle from a non-title issuing state.

I believe the pictures speak for them self, and what doesn't I've included in the description,........if you feel I have missed anything or you have any questions what so ever, please feel free to send me an email and I'll answer the question(s) asap. Upon the completion of the auction I ask that the winning bidder to commit to the transaction with payment in the form of a $200.00 deposit within 48 hours. I also ask that the high bidder follow-up with full payment in 7 days,  or contact me for additional time if needed.  If you have no intent of following threw with the complete payment of the auction item, please just don't bid and waste everyone's time playing games,...any non paying bidders will be reported to both ebay and all 3 major credit reporting agency's. 

As always,...UNDERCARRIAGE PICTURES ARE ALWAYS posted for perspective bidders/ buyers!!!

********KEEP WATCH,...a lot of interesting older ANTIQUE/CLASSIC AUTOS (1950-1985) coming in the next several weeks/months,...ALL of which will start with a modest starting price with NO HIDDEN RESERVE!!!********
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    .....thanks for looking, Bob..

Cadillac shows dealers convertible rendering

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Cadillac is getting serious about revitalizing and expanding its lineup, and to that end, a new report claims that brand boss Johan de Nysschen has been showing plans for several new models to the marque's dealer body - among them, a new convertible.
The droptop which Cadillac reportedly showed its dealers in sketch form, would be based on the same platform as the ATS and CTS, those it's unclear to which (if either) of those model lines the new convertible would be added, or whether the design features a canvas or folding hardtop roof. One way or another, it would be the first time Cadillac would offer a convertible since the Corvette-based XLR roadster was discontinued more than five years ago.
Quoting an unnamed brand spokesperson, Cadillac would "like to introduce an open car to the portfolio at some point," however, "it's not likely to be one of the near-term portfolio additions."

2016 Cadillac CT6 shows crisp sense of style in leaked images

Tue, Mar 31 2015

You're looking at the 2016 Cadillac CT6, aided by the almost inevitable internet-aided leak, ahead of its debut at the New York Auto Show this week. As you can see, the overall shape is straight-edged and aggressive, and overall in keeping with what we've seen from Cadillac over the last several years. High-tech lighting clusters extend from the fender peaks all the way down in what appear to be LED strips toward the lower fascia and its rectangular fog lights. A suitably massive grille encrusted in chrome boasts one of the larger Wreath and Crest badges we've ever witnessed on a car. Under that sharply creased hood will sit a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine with 400 horsepower at its disposal, according to Cadillac, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. A naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6 will also be available, we're told. We may wish for an edgier range-topping sedan from Cadillac, but it's not really fair to draw any real conclusions from just one leaked image. In other words, stay tuned, 'cause the rest of the story won't be far behind.

Here's what else you could buy for the average new-car price of $40,573

Fri, Jan 22 2021

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. The average price of a new car in America hit a new record in December 2020: $40,573. Not that we're surprised — the average has been over $35,000 for the past few years — but seeing that baseline figure crest 40 large is still a sticker-shock to the system. So, as we do every once in a while, we put our collective heads together and came up with a list of alternatives that you could choose to buy for that sum, new or old, classic or practical. Now, let's be crystal clear about one thing here. We're not actually recommending you make this type of decision. That said, we wouldn't blame you if you did. Managing Editor Greg Rasa: $40,000 will buy a fully loaded Camry or moderately equipped crossover. Or, for $39,997, to be exact, one could go motoring in a fine British automobile. This 2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante in Alabama has 21,452 miles on it, and depreciation has worked its cruel magic: It is listed for less than one-quarter of its $168,000 starting MSRP when it was new. A check of other used DB9s nationwide indicates this is a fair price. This Aston's CarFax reveals two owners. (One, really, as the second was a dealership. Looks like it got traded in for a Porsche.) If you're understandably concerned about reliability, its service history indicates no surprises to date. Remember, it has a 450-horsepower 5.9-liter V12. And spring is coming. Of course a used Aston Martin is riskier than a new Camry. But as Louis Prima sang, "Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think." What price beauty? Less than $40 grand. Associate Editor Byron Hurd: This price point opens up a ton of options in the "nearly new" luxury space, including a few good enthusiast picks, but my nod here goes to the Cadillac ATS-V. The discontinued, M3/M4-rivaling, 465-horsepower sport sedan and coupe can be had all day long in this price range with low miles. In fact, the real challenge is finding one in the spec you want, since it's one of those old-fashioned cars that actually presented the buyer with choices. Here's a clean, six-speed sedan in an actual color for less than our target price, for example. Coupes are more plentiful than sedans, especially in interesting colors, but there are plenty of them out there.
