Here's a beautiful 2001 DeVille that's perfect for the right buyer. It has some issues, but let's start with the good points:
- Excellent paint, especially for a 2001. It hasn't been washed for two weeks in the photos and still looks that good. No dents or even significant scratches.
- Excellent interior, again especially for a 2001. No rips, tears, or significant stains. Driver's seat does show some wear, but much less than normal for the age of the car.
- ALL power accessories work. All windows, mirrors, power seats, seat heaters, stereo, you name it.
- ICE COLD air conditioning, works like new.
- Brand new tires (Sumitomo HTR Z II), new brakes (including fluid flush), new alternator, new battery, new front engine mount. And when I say new, I mean less than 1,000 miles on all of the above.
Now for the bad:
- At least one, possibly both head gaskets are blown. Car runs fine for a short time, but overheats soon thereafter. I've been told by a Caddy dealer it's a head gasket failure, but I didn't authorize a full tear down, so I don't know what you'll find when you get the engine apart. But the engine's going to need to come apart, so don't by the car unless you have a donor engine, need this car for donor body/interior parts, or have your own shop to do the work. It will run for a few minutes - easily long enough to get it on and off a transporter - but don't think you can drive it home. Come with a trailer or send a transporter.
Also, YOU MUST MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO PICK UP THE CAR WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTION END. I've bought myself some time at the dealership where it's sitting but they've said no more than that, so if you buy the car, you need to get it from me quickly. If you need to let it sit longer I'm okay with having it towed to my house, but transportation has to be at buyer's expense.

eBay Find of the Day: Ryan Gosling Eldorado from Lost River
Thu, Apr 9 2015What's better than a car connected to Ryan Gosling? A car connected to Ryan Gosling and Matt Smith (the eleventh Doctor Who for our less nerdy readers). This 1966 Cadillac Eldorado convertible is driven by Smith in Lost River, Gosling's directorial debut. The movie was filmed in Detroit, with plenty of footage at the Packard factory, and the car is located in the nearby enclave of Hamtramck. Truth be told, this car has questionable star appeal and it needs a lot of work. Lost River currently holds a 20% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I've never seen an episode of any Doctor Who – a fact that amazes Seyth Miersma. And while I agree with Kroll Show character Wendell Shawn that Gosling is a "beautiful idiot," that's not enough for me to buy a car with an exhaust leak. The body on this Eldorado looks clean, but there is plenty of restoration work for the next owner. The listing states that most of the exterior and trim needs to be installed, and the front seats are in rough shape. Other details are vague – the carburetor "might need to be rebuilt" and the radiator and fan "may need to be replaced" but neither statements explain why. On the upside, the 340 horsepower (gross rating), 429 cubic inch V8 runs well. Reserve is not met at the current price of $4,000, but this could be a chance to get a classic '60's convertible for cheap.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Online Find Of The Day: 2008 Cadillac XLR picks up where Excalibur left off
Thu, 23 May 2013We try very, very hard to keep snark away from creations like the one you see here. After all, someone poured plenty of enthusiasm, time and money into turning a 2008 Cadillac XLR into a modern interpretation of the new-old cars typically done by cottage builders like Excalibur and Clénet. Even so, it's hard not to wince when you set an eye on this machine. With its wheelbase stretched to accommodate the extra bodywork, goofy sidewalls and upkicked nose (examine it in profile, it looks slightly bent in the middle), this "neoclassic" takes whatever was loveable about the Cadillac underneath and buries it in a tacky grave.
Miraculously, the engine bay has been left unmolested, which means the retractable hardtop convertible still features a 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engine good for 320 horsepower. If only that were enough to outrun its shame. If, for some reason, you feel like taking this thing home, Harry Kaufmann Motorcars of Milwaukee says it can be yours for a paltry $74,998. We wish were joking. Check it out here.
