I HAVE NO INFORMATION REGARDING THE FIRST HALF OF THIS CARS LIFE, BUT I DO KNOW THAT PRIOR TO MY ACQUIRING THIS CAR IT HAD SAT IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED STORAGE FACILITY FOR APPROXIMATELY 18 YEARS. THE PERSON I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM HAD DONE QUITE A BIT OF WORK TO THE CAR BUT UNFORTUNATELY, VERY LITTLE OF WHAT HAD BEEN DONE HAD BEEN DONE RIGHT, SO LET ME BEGIN THERE. THE CAR HAD A HORRIBLE BACKFIRE AND IDLED LIKE A DIESEL TRUCK WHEN I BOUGHT HER. I FOUND THAT THE WRONG PLUGS HAD BEEN USED AND BRAIDED IGNITION WIRES, THE CARB HAD BEEN SWITCHED OUT AND WHOMEVER BUILT IT HAD DONE A REALLY POOR JOB, THE EXHAUST WAS ALL WRONG AS WELL. I FOUND A MATCHING NUMBERS CARB COMPLETE WITH AN NOS ORIGINAL DASH POT AND MACHINED AND REBUILT IT. I TUNED THE ENGINE WITH DELCO PLUGS AND SOLID CORE IGNITION WIRES, NEW COIL, CAP, ROTOR, POINTS AND CONDENSER, AIR AND FUEL FILTER.  I INSTALLED A NEW EXHAUST, MANDREL BENT TO FIT AS ORIGINAL AND SELECTED A MAGNAFLOW MUFFLER SO YOU CAN HEAR A LITTLE RUMBLE FROM THOSE 500 CU INCHES. THE A/C DIDN'T WORK AND THE CLIMATE CONTROL NEEDED SOME TLC. I CONVERTED THE SYSTEM TO 134 AND INSTALLED A NEW OE COMPRESSOR, REWORKED THE CONTROL HEAD AND POWER SERVO, INSTALLED A NEW HEATER CONTROL VALVE; THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM WORKS LIKE NEW NOW. I RECORED THE ORIGINAL RADIATOR AND INSTALLED A NEW THERMOSTAT, BELTS AND HOSES. NEW BATTERY, NEW ALTERNATOR AND REGULATOR AS WELL. THE BRAKES ARE ALL NEW, I MEAN EVERY COMPONENT OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS NEW. NEW TIRES, AMERICAN CLASSICS, THESE ARE REAL WHITE WALL TIRES DIRECT FROM COKER TIRE. THE FRONT END WAS SOLID ON THE CAR EXCEPT FOR THE TIE ROD ENDS SO THEY WERE REPLACED AND THE FRONT END ALIGNED. THIS CAR RUNS STRAIGHT WITH OUT HOLDING THE WHEEL AND THE WHEEL STAYS AT 6 O'CLOCK. THE TRANSMISSION SIDE COVER HAD A SMALL LEAK SO I PULLED THE TRANNY OUT AND WENT THROUGH IT, WHILE THE TRANNY WAS OUT OF THE CAR THE ENGINE GOT NEW FREEZE PLUGS, THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS SERVICED AND NEW CV AXLES WERE INSTALLED. I HAD THE TORQUE CONVERTER CUSTOM BUILT WITH TORRINGTON BEARINGS. THERE ARE NO MORE LEAKS ANYWHERE ON THIS CAR. THE SUSPENSION IS ALL BRAND NEW AND THIS CAR FLOATS JUST LIKE A BOAT. NOW LETS TALK INTERIOR; THERE IS NOT A CRACK OR SCRATCH INSIDE THIS CAR AND EVERY GUAGE AND SWITCH WORKS. I REPLACED THE RADIO SPEAKERS, FRONT AND REAR AND ADDED XM, THE CONTROL HEAD IS UNDER THE DASH AND CAN BE EASILY REMOVED. I REPLACED THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER BLOWER BECAUSE IT HAD GONE BAD. ALL THE SEATS HAVE BEEN REBUILT WITH NEW FOAM AND THE DRIVER SEAT REUPHOLSTERED WITH A NOS SEAT COVER, ALL THE LEATHER IS VERY SUPPLE. CUSTOM MADE AND COLOR MATCHED CARPETED FLOOR MATS WITH CADILLAC LOGOS PROTECT THE ORIGINAL CARPETS. I DO HAVE THE ORIGINAL FLOOR MATS AS WELL AS THE ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL, AN ORIGINAL SHOP MANUAL AND ALL RECEIPTS AND DOCUMENTATION FOR THIS CAR.  THE ORIGINAL SOUND DEADENER IN THE TRUNK HAS BEEN REPLACED AS WELL AS THE WEATHERSTRIP SEAL AROUND THE TRUNK, THE TRUNK PANELS AND CARPET ARE ALL ORIGINAL. THE EXTERIOR PAINT HAS BEEN REDONE ON THE REAR QUARTERS AND LOWER DOORS BECAUSE THE PAINT JUST DIDNT LOOK THAT GOOD ANYMORE. I HAVE TRIED TO LEAVE THE ORIGINAL PAINT ALONE, BUT THAT IS MY PREFERENCE. I REPLACED THE ROCKER COVERS AS WELL. THIS IS A GREAT AUTOMOBILE, A REAL CLASSIC. A CAR THAT CAN BE DRIVEN EVERY DAY. I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF DRIVING THIS CAR ACROSS THIS COUNTRY TWICE AND NEVER ONCE HAD A PROBLEM. THIS CAR LOOKS AND DRIVES LIKE A NEW CAR,  COME SEE FOR YOURSELF. PLEASE CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS. 813-340-2222 MIKE

Watch Brad Pitt's Chinese Cadillac XTS commercial

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

Once upon a time, in a land not so far from this one, Brad Pitt was the very face anti-consumerism. You see, when he slipped into the role of the elitist-loathing, food-abusing, violence-embracing Tyler Durden from Fight Club, his visage was inextricably married to images of leveling credit card corporations with nothing more than a little human fat and some determination. Of course, that was before Pitt settled into old age with a passel of children at his feet. Now, it seems, he'll shill for something as long as it doesn't damage his reputation in America.
Need proof? Look no further than this Chinese ad for the Cadillac XTS. In it, Pitt contentedly wafts the big front-wheel drive barge around San Francisco against a mildly euphoric soundtrack. You can check out the scene for yourself below, just make sure you have your last meal squarely situated in your stomach before pressing play. We have to wonder if Pitt wakes up in the middle of the night with Chuck Palahniuk's oddly omniscient words echoing in his ears: "Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you."

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.

Next-gen Cadillac CTS-Vs caught in parking lot

Thu, 10 Jan 2013

A pair of camouflaged Cadillac CTS prototypes were spotted, and thankfully photographed, outside a grocery store in Southern California. From the image above - there are plenty more if you click over to TotalCarScore.com - it appears these could be testers for the 2014 CTS-V, but that is just speculation. We've seen the obvious "V" motif in the grille before, and there's what could be another "V" in the design of the side mirrors.
The hood on the car in the background appears to include two bulges, but the single shot that affords a tiny peek under the hood shows reveals only the airbox. Plenty of rumors, and the sight of an engine cover inscribed with the words "Twin Turbo," have caused people to wonder if a twin-turbo V6 will live under the production car's hood instead of the V8 currently there. In back, instead of the round tailpipes found outboard on all the CTS sedans, there's a pair of integrated tips in a parallelogram shape. A new shifter with contrasting stitching was spied in the cabin.
If predictions hold up it will arrive later this year. When it does, expect the body underneath all that camo to be softer on the eye compared to the current car - less science and more art. For now, hit the link to see more spy shots of what's coming.
