Up for bid is a 1979 Cadillac Le Cabriolet with 89k miles showing and I'm sure that's first time around based on history and driveability. This is a two owner car - first in Florida from new until '91, second until now. As you probably know, these cut Coupe de Ville rear wheel drive RWD cars were sold new at Cadillac dealers and built by Hess and Eisenhardt, the famous coachbuilder that also built the downsized 80's ElDorado and Riviera FWD convertibles. Depending on what you read on the internet, only 50-100 were built.
This is totally NOT a restored car. It's a daily driver with good paint, great body, solid underside, nice driving car that turns heads. It will not pass any Concours scrutiny, but will attract more attention at a stoplight than the 911 next to you. Body and undercarriage are solid as seen in pics. 425 Cadillac 4bbl V8 engine runs GREAT. TH400 transmission shifts great, too. Well equipped with power everything, most of which works, and cold a/c. Car was not driven regularly since 91 and has lots of new parts in getting her back on the road noted below. Was garage kept, so no water damage inside car.
NO RESERVE.

Condition Report
ENGINE: Runs on all eight cylinders without smoking, missing or knocking. Engine runs at proper temperature. Newer battery & starter & alternator & radiator & hoses & gas tank & fuel pump & fuel filter & oil & oil filter. Starts easy and runs strong; idles smoothly at warmup. Has a very slight lifter tick that I'm confident will go away completely with regular driving.
TRANSMISSION: Performs beautifully. Engages gears quickly and shifts through all forward gears and reverse with good downshift and torque converter performance. Clean fluid with no burn odors. Shift indicator does not move with gear selector.
EXTERIOR: Body: Body is in good shape with no major dents or dings. Has one repaint done decently but not perfect - see pics for minor imperfections pointed out. There is NO BONDO on the body except a few spots on the hood - no quarter or fender rot. Some minor bubbles under door lips as pictured. Other: Convertible top in good shape with one small patch as pictured (about 1/2 inch.) Aftermarket top with plastic back window, but I have the original glass back window with defroster if you want to install in heat sealed in a new curtain. Undercarriage is very nice - see the pics - no rot and only minor surface rust in a few spots. Factory undercoating mostly intact. Underhood sheet metal, trunk lip and door jambs have no rust as seen in pics. Bumpers are nice and shiny with no pitting or rust. Trunk floor is nice - no rust under mat. Sports later model aluminum Brougham wheels that look right on the car.
INTERIOR: Interior of the car is very nice. Front seats are not correct, rear seat covers not correct but seat frames/foam underneath ARE correct. Front seats are Coupe de Ville seats anyway, so if you really have to have correct seats, you can find from a CDV. Driver's armrest has a tear, right rear armrest has a crack but other interior components are in nice shape. Carpet nice but gathers/wrinkles near hump. No cracks on dash, no headliner on convertible top.
ELECTRICAL STUFF: All inspection items work (lights, horn, wipers, etc.) Power windows work correctly from all switches but occasionally need to tug on main switch to make all work. Heat works, a/c works, fan works! Has an aftermarket CD/radio that works great. Power antenna and cruise do not work. Power seats both work but slower than I'd like. Power locks click but only passenger side moves. Trunk release works fine.
DRIVEABILITY: Drives out nicely and steering is remarkably tight for one of these behemoths. Alignment is good, suspension is good, shocks are not bouncy. Brakes work well with good linings. Tires have about 50% tread remaining on a matched set of whitewall radials. Solid, quiet exhaust with no leaks. Drives out beautifully - I would not be afraid to drive it a long distance, but as with any old car, I'd bring a tool set.
Short version terms: Small non-refundable deposit as listed (but fast) by Paypal within 24 hours. Balance due in 5 days by cash in person, wire transfer, or Wells Fargo cashier's check. Will meet you or your transporter at my location by appointment after 6 pm weekdays or anytime weekends. No administrative fee on this auction. Any other costs - tax, emissions inspection, registration, shipping, etc. are buyer's responsibility - see full terms. 30 days to pick up. Temporary tags available at local license bureau on weekdays. WILL PICK YOU UP AT THE CHARLESTON, SC INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT weekday evenings or any time weekends. Inspections are strongly encouraged, but by appointment only - please email or call. By bidding, you agree you are satisfied with the item description. Note that pickup times are by appointment only also - just call! Prepaid vehicles scheduled for transport can be picked up any time with at least 24 business hours' notice - have your driver call me. I'm happy to drive the car to a nearby large parking lot for easier truck loading. See my about me page for full terms.

Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.

As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.
Scroll down below for the complete press release with all the details.

After checking out a multitude of classic cars and customs over the past few weeks, Jay Leno switches things up with a modern performance machine in the latest video from the garage – a 2016 Cadillac CTS-V. Leno is curious about Caddy's attempt to challenge the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S, and he takes a long, technical look at the sedan with chief engineer David Leone. Not content to just peek under the hood, Leno puts the CTS-V up on the rack to see what it packs underneath the svelte body. Once he gets the lowdown on the Caddy's engineering, it's time for a drive. Leno also flexes his interviewing skills while behind the wheel and gets even more info about the CTS-V's capabilities from Leone. He seems fairly impressed, but Leno's most entertaining question about the 640-horsepower sedan is whether it can do a burnout. He provides a definitive answer to that at the end of the clip.
