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!!

2015 Cadillac ATS-V gunning for the BMW M3

Mon, 03 Jun 2013

Spy photographers have spotted something interesting. Cadillac engineers have taken to public streets with the upcoming ATS-V and a playmate: the current BMW M3 Sedan. The prototype seen here wears a more aggressive front fascia, flared fenders and beefy brakes. Quad exhaust tips and what looks to be a small lip spoiler on the trunk deck sum up the most obvious visual changes over the standard ATS outside. Word has it the ATS-V will bow with the same twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 available in the nose of the XTS. In that application, the engine is good for a stout 410 horsepower, which should be more than enough to hustle the sedan around a track.
Other details are still murky, however. First and foremost: will GM offer the ATS-V with an honest manual transmission, like it does with its big brother, the CTS-V? Something tells us we won't have long to wait to find out - the machine will likely bow next year as a 2015 model. Until then, dig in on our newest bevy of spy photos.

Lincoln hijacks Cadillac's 'Dare Greatly' tagline

Tue, Feb 24 2015

Talk about comedy - not even 24 hours after Cadillac teased its CT6 while inviting us to "Dare Greatly" during the Oscars telecast, Lincoln was doing the same but on Google. An anonymous tipster informed us the day after the Oscars that typing "dare greatly" into Google returned two ads before the search results. When we checked it over the course of a few hours, the first ad was always for Cadillac and either read, "Cadillac - Dare Greatly - Only those who dare drive the world forward," or, "Cadillac - Dare Greatly - It's not the critic who counts, it's the man in the arena." (On a side note, come on, Cadillac - "the man in the arena?" Well. It's a quote. Suppose that's all right, then.) The second result was for Lincoln and read, "Dare Greatly - It's not about making a statement, it's about doing what you love," with the associated URL being www.lincoln.com/dare+greatly. The first time we clicked it, it went to the Lincoln homepage showing the 2015 MKZ Hybrid. The second time, we got a page saying that the Lincoln site wasn't available; the Lincoln site was fine, the link didn't work. There's no reference to the Google joke at the Lincoln site - this was just about getting eyeballs. The English have the perfect phrase for Lincoln's provocation: "You've got some cheek!" We think it cunning, dastardly, and funny, and there's no doubt it worked - they knew people would flock to search the term. One of our competitors, Autotrader, said that within an hour of the first of four Cadillac spots airing during the Oscars, car searches for Cadillac vehicles climbed 53 percent from pre-Academy Award coverage levels. Searches for Cadillac cars were up 120%, they said. If this is Round One of our homegrown scrappy old-timers going at it, we're all for it.

2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

Cadillac has become a very, very different company since the dawn of the new millenium. Its turn-of-the-century lineup, consisting of staid offerings like the Seville, DeVille and Eldorado, represented the Old Cadillac. These cars were plagued with Old GM quality issues and catered to a more elderly audience. Since the company's Art and Science design language arrived, though, we've seen Cadillac flesh out its lineup in a big way, introducing notable and (so far) enduring products, like the the CTS, SRX and most recently, the ATS.
With the CTS tackling the 5 Series segment and the SRX duking it out with the Lexus RX and its classmates, the ATS has been left with the tough task of battling the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, among others. Critically, at least, it has excelled in this role, but it's still working on finding its feet sales-wise. On paper, broadening the model range by adding a two-door personal luxury coupe could help.
After a week with the ATS Coupe, though, we've found a car that, while retaining the standard model's excellent driving character, doesn't quite offer enough visual excitement to stand up to other cars in its segment.
