Hello,
I am selling a 1968 Cadillac Eldorado - NO reserve. You bid may win it. I have more projects than I can handle and so this one has to go. It has been in the garage all winter, but now that spring is here, it seems like nice weather to be tinkering again. (plus you have your tax check!) I always liked the 1968 best because the 1967 had those strange covers where the turn signals are on this year, and this one still has the hidden lights which look so clean and sharp. Please read everything if you are serious, as I want to make sure I describe the car accurately. History: I believe that this was a PA car all its life. I know that when I got it, the previous owner was from PA and he had owned it for quite a while. Engine/drivetrain: 472 V8, front wheel drive. The engine and drivetrain are the best and smoothest of any 472 I've ever owned. My big Caddy V8's typically get a miss from a vacuum leak or a carb misadjustment or a lifter or something, but this car starts right up, idles perfectly and drives well. The transmission shifts nicely, and the steering is light and easy. The engine is dirty and needs to be detailed and painted, but that's cosmetic and not important to me. Comes with a fresh oil change this week. Brakes: Entirely new lines, pads etc. The car stops fine and is safe to drive. Interior: Complete, the leather is cracked but only one split. I have been putting moisturizing creams on it as it has become hard, and they will work but take time. The drivers door panel is badly cracked, as is the one next to the rear seat passenger on the same side. This is because the driver's side quarter window is stuck in the down position, and before I got the car and stored it, water was getting in. The seatbelts were tucked into the seat, and are ratty, the carpet is nice, the radio works. the clock and most of the electrics - some power windows, locks etc do not work. I believe someone has messed with the electrics because some of the wires in the door are hanging loose. I have not had time to look further. The vacuum headlights don't leak and open when the car is parked, but they do not open when the lights are turned on, either, so there's an electrical issue there also. The roof: Clean and soft, one tear, pictured, and some rust bubbling underneath on the C-pillars. The body: Not great. Driver's door is not repairable. Underneath the stainless there is a lot of rust. All around the car, the lower body, rockers and lower parts of the fenders will need patching. The trunk lid has a few small holes, the hood is good, passenger side door looks solid buts shows signs of previous repairs. Underneath, the rear axle area is rusty, and the trunk floor has a few small holes, pictured. Gas tank looks newer and I have never smelled gas or noticed any leaks. Rear of exhaust from muffler to back of car is missing. Driver's side floor is soft. The hood and passenger fender have white paint marks on them that I have been unable to remove. See pictures. The trim not in the pictures is included. The trunk is not watertight, and the trunk mat held water, so I removed it but kept it for a template. The driver's mirror is broken but a replacement is included. The rear bumper is shot, but replacements are included for both of the bumper ends (they are the hard parts to get) Also included are a set of new rubber splash shields for inside the wheel wells, a box of misc parts, and the original full-width rubber floor mats. Overall - It's a running driving complete car. Worth restoring, or an excellent parts car or driver. I would recommend fixing some of the rust before using it regularly. Some points: I wouldn't drive it a long distance. I've run it for more than an hour, and it doesn't overheat, and the brakes, engine and transmission are fine, but the tires are older and it's an old car that hasn't been used regularly for a while. I'd suggest bringing a trailer, but it's not vital depending on your anxiety level. The rear shocks are shot and the ride is bouncy. Has a good battery that holds a charge. Any questions, please ask. Once paid for, I can store the car for another month or so, but please talk to me first. I'd like a $250 deposit within 2 days of the auction end, and then the rest when you pick the car up, in cash or money order/cashier's check. The car has a clean and clear title and can be transferred at the BMV up the road. Please send me a message on Ebay, or call me if you have any questions (724) 650-4259 from 9am-9pm Eastern time. Sold as-is where-is. I have done my best to describe this car accurately. I am not looking to make a quick buck, just don't have time or room for this one anymore. There is no reserve, so bid to win. |

Cadillac Ciel concept features in Entourage trailer
Wed, Dec 24 2014Some of us may miss HBO's Entourage more than others, but one way or another, it sure had some cool cars. The characters on the show were constantly trading between Astons, Maseratis and Ferraris – not to mention a smattering of Benzes and Escalades – but one of our favorite sets of wheels from the show's entire eight-year run was the 1965 Lincoln Continental featured in the opening credits. The vintage parade car undoubtedly provided the studio with a great way to showcase the camaraderie between the four members of the title crew, but also made us pine for a time when you could actually get your hands on a four-door convertible. Unfortunately they just don't make 'em like that anymore – not the car and not the TV show in which it featured – but fans of both will be pleased to watch this latest trailer for the upcoming Entourage movie. Not only does it include all the members of the original cast, but it also features Detroit's latest (and arguably most stylish) attempt at reviving the four-door cabriolet: the commandingly elegant and achingly desirable but sadly unobtainable Cadillac Ciel concept of 2011.

Hennessy wastes no time in supercharging the 2015 Cadillac Escalade
Wed, 23 Apr 2014The ink is still drying on the all-new 2015 Cadillac Escalade sales brochures, but that hasn't stopped Texas-based Hennessey Performance (HPE) from leaping out of the gate with its own high-performance variant. In stock form, the big fourth-generation Cadillac flagship arrives with a new small block naturally aspirated 6.2-liter Ecotec3 V8 delivering 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Fresh out of the showroom, the 5,900-pound SUV will sprint to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds.
While that is plenty fast for some owners, others don't want to be shamed by a 550 horsepower Mercedes-Benz GL63 AMG or a 510 horsepower Land Rover Range Rover Sport - both will leave the stock Escalade at a stoplight.
The team at HPE has come to the rescue with its HPE550 supercharger upgrade, which includes a belt-driven supercharger, air-to-water intercooler, recalibrated engine management software and a three-year/36,000 mile powertrain warranty. With 6 psi of boost, the direct-injected 6.2-liter is tuned to deliver an impressive 557 horsepower and 542 pound-feet of torque - gains of 32 percent and 18 percent, respectively, over stock. Although HPE isn't releasing performance figures as of yet, our math says that should be enough power to put the two Europeans in the Cadillac's rearview mirror. The company also offers a set of 20-inch lightweight H10 forged monoblock wheels, to further improve performance.
Comparing Cadillac's crazy classy coupes
Wed, May 6 2015I just returned from the press launch of Cadillac's new ATS-V, a high-performance version of the US luxury marque's entry-level compact car. While ordinary ATVs offer a choice of a 202-horspower, 4-cylinder, a 272-hp turbocharged four or a 321-hp V-6, this one packs a twin-turbo V-6 that pumps out 464 thoroughbred horses and 445 pound-feet of hard-charging torque. Starting at $62,000 for the sedan and $64,000 for the sexy coupe, ATS-Vs are available with a 6-speed manual (with Active Rev Matching and no-lift shift capability) or an 8-speed automatic with steering-wheel shift paddles. They comes with GM's latest 4-mode Magnetic Ride Control, 5-mode Performance Traction Management (with launch control), competition-spec traction and stability controls, an electronic limited-slip differential, specially-tuned electric power steering, huge Brembo brakes, and added air cooling for their engine, transmission, and rear axle lubricants. They roll on 18-inch Michelin Pilot Super Sport tri-compound summer tires on 9-inch-wide front alloy wheels and 9.5-inch-wide rears. And they will rocket from rest to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds while delivering 16 city EPA miles per gallon and 24 highway with the automatic and 17/23 with the manual transmission. The obvious purpose of all this technology is to effectively endow Cadillac's latest V-Series models with a rarely achieved true dual personality: go, stop, and corner like race cars on a track, then sooth, coddle, and entertain like luxury cars on the way to and from the track, or work. We had ample opportunity to verify both personalities with multiple hot laps of the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) Grand Prix course, followed by a more leisurely drive on public roads near Austin, TX. Even lacking wheel-to-wheel comparisons, we believe these hot new ATS-Vs are fully competitive with their pricier German competitors, and probably superior in some ways. So now, Cadillac will offer not one but two very sharp-looking, upscale, small-volume, 2016 compact coupes, almost the same size and at similar prices, but with totally different missions: this new high-performance ATS-V and the soon-to-be-upgraded ELR extended-range EV. The key question: why? Aside from its cramped back seat and ridiculous $76,000 starting price, I loved the ELR when it was introduced for 2014.
