 Hello and Thank You for viewing my auction.  Up for bids is a 1969 Convertible Cadillac.  I purchased this vehicle to restore and when it arrived it was completely misrepresented and I am listing it here as a parts car.   I do however have a title(1 owner).  He filled in my information under the buyer section so if anyone is planning on fixing this car and would like a title there will be a $100.00 additional fee added to tthe highest bid so I can go and pay the taxes and get a title in my name that I could then transfer to you.   Here is some interesting history on the vehicle.  It was purchased new in Michigan and kept in the same family it's entire life.  I have the original "cancelled" title for this vehicle and the current "2007" title for this vehicle.   In 2007 the parents sold the vehicle to their son.   This was a beautiful vehicle...a long time ago!  A rare yellow with white top and white interior and a fully loaded car.   I have the original bill of sale and a bunch of other paperwork for the vehicle that is yours if you want it as well.  Now lets get to the vehicle...   The interior is completely stripped  other than a few wire harnesses and the steering column and some other behind the dash components.   The floor pan was actually in decent condition with exception of underneath the rear seat where the water would puddle from the convertible top leaks.  The front windshield still looks good.  The convertible top frame was working perfectly until this morning when someone came over and purchased the convertible top pump.  The header panel of the frame has some rust.  These frames are worth a fortune especially a complete one like this(only missing the pump).  People shorten,lengthen,widen and customize the frames to use on their custom chop top cars.  Other than the hood and the trunk which are decent...the rest of the body is bad.  Doors and rocker panels and lower front fenders(near doors) are actually not too bad.  The rear quarters are bad.  The frame is junk...has some spots rotting out.   The car still starts and moves and stops and steers(complimentary pair of vice grips for a steering wheel).   I did not want to sell off any of the drivetrain parts because I wanted to keep it running because this is the real value in this vehicle for someone looking for a hotrod,ratrod or custom drivetrain with power!   Under the hood the items that are missing are the wiper motor assembly the horns,cruise control,air cleaner assembly,valve cover breather,coolant overflow bottle.  Underneath the car the only thing gone is the fuel tank.  There are no keys and I have it starting on the steering column or with 2 wires from starter.  There is a small gas can to get it running to get it on a truck or trailer.  The front seat is the spare tire and another tire for the backrest.  The car only had 97,000 original miles and the engine sounds very healthy and was really taken care of.    This pretty much sums it all up.  You get a complete running 472 motor with transmission and rear end and all the brakes and hardware and all the suspension and so forth.  You get a convertible top frame you can sell.  A windshield you can sell.  You get a few other parts you can take off to sell and when your done you can scrap the big heavy beast for a bunch of money!   If you are planning on restoring it...hopefully you have a complete 69 or 70 2 door hard top sitting around that you could build a convertible out of...and you will also need a lot of money and a lot of patience!  If you are looking to have an excuse to get out of the house to get away from your wife....this is the project for you.   If you are looking to get divorced....this project may do this as well:)    If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask.   One question I get all the time is "will this car make it to my house in wherever?"...well we know the answer to that one with this car.....  :)  I guess it could be possible and you would probably become famous or in jail for a long time....  It would be all daylight driving...an umbrella...many gas cans...a lot of bungee cords and duct tape and ???   I will consider BUY IT NOW prices too.  Happy Bidding!!

GM admits goal of 500,000 EVs by 2017 won't be met

Sat, May 9 2015

After a little over four years of Chevy Volt sales, General Motors has a better handle on how many people it expects will buy cars with plugs. And it's less than the company thought back in 2012, when then-senior vice president of global product development, Mary Barra, said that GM expected to sell 500,000 "vehicles with electrification" by 2017. In a sustainability report released this week, GM says that half-million vehicle target will not be met but that it still, "believes the future is electric." In the report, GM says that, "For our commitment to electrification, our forecasted outlook currently projects us, along with the broader automotive industry, falling short of expectations for 2017. ... We continue to aspire to our stated goal." GM's electric lineup includes the Volt, the recently popular Spark EV, the slow-selling Cadillac ELR and upcoming Malibu Hybrid, CT6 plug-in hybrid and eAssist technology in the Buick LaCrosse and Regal. GM says it has 180,834 electrified vehicles on the road in the US today. In 2013, it had 153,034; 95,578 in 2012, and 39,843 in 2011. The company's next big plug-in vehicle will be the second-gen Chevy Volt, which is coming to market later this year, followed by the 200-mile Bolt EV coming, we think, in 2017. GM Employees on Mission to Transform Transportation Sustainability report outlines vehicle and manufacturing progress; sets new targets 2015-05-07 DETROIT – General Motors' just-released sustainability report chronicles efforts by the company's 216,000 employees to live out GM's newly defined purpose and values by earning customer loyalty, applying meaningful technology advances and improving the communities where it does business. These actions – led by CEO Mary Barra – further drive sustainability into the company's culture through building safer and smarter vehicles with less environmental impact. "GM will take a leading role in the auto industry's transformation as it undergoes an unprecedented period of change," said Bob Ferguson, senior vice president, GM Global Public Policy. "From GM's labs to its assembly lines, our people are driving the world to a better place through improved mobility." The company believes the future is electric, with billions of investment to support an all-in-house approach to the development and manufacturing of electrified vehicles. It now counts 180,834 on the road in the U.S – up from 153,034 in 2013.

Next Cadillac CTS-V confirmed for Detroit

Tue, Dec 16 2014

As a car enthusiast, you should be excited for the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Hell, we can barely contain ourselves – it's shaping up to be a great show. And this bit of news only heightens our expectations – Cadillac will be bringing its third-generation CTS-V to January's North American International Auto Show. That bit of high-performance news has been confirmed to Autoblog by Cadillac officials. In fact, we've received an official invitation to the brand's press conference, and while the latter is light on information, it does say, "it's time for the V-Series to elevate to the next level." Considering our last experience with the CTS-V, we're not sure what there is left to elevate, although we're hopeful that Caddy will come up with something. What that could be, of course, is very open to speculation. When the last CTS-V debuted in 2009, it arguably outgunned Germanic challengers like the 500-hp BMW M5 and 518-hp Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG for a lot less money, boasting a detuned version of the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1's 6.2-liter supercharged V8. Could that trend carry on, with the next CTS-V borrowing the supercharged, 650-hp mill from the new Corvette Z06? If escalation is the name of the game, the Z06 engine would seem to once again allow Caddy battle it out on firm, big-booted footing with BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Of course, all will become clear on the morning of Tuesday, January 13. Like we said, we can hardly wait. Related Video:

One thing that Cadillac does especially well here is giving customers a plethora of models and options to choose from. Trim level choices include standard, luxury, performance and premium for the four-cylinder or luxury, performance and premium for the V6. There are also 10 colors available, five of which carry an extra premium of $495 or $995. Upgraded interior packages for $1,295 add improved trim and leather, as well.
