I had originally bought the car to be used as a weekend driver, and to take it to e few local car shows.  I just have too many other projects going on right now, and do not have the time to work on it anymore.  The car to the best of my knowledge is all original from the ground up, other then any repairs I have made.  This is the Biaritz Eldorado, so it was the top of the line Eldorado at the time.

Condition of interior:  All of the power lock, windows, and seats work.  The radio and power antenna work good, as well as all the speakers.  I put a new head liner in, but would need to be finished.  The rear side panels over the back seat were damage and could not be save.  I found two replacements, but are white, and would have to be died red to match.  The leather seats are in great shape, and show no real signs of wear. Everything else in the interior is in great shape with little to no signs of wear.

Condition of exterior: I was told the car was stored all winter long, and was inside when not being driven.  So there is just some minor rust in a couple areas, but you need to be up close to find.  All the chrome is in great shape, with little to no pitting.  The stainless roof is in great shape, and the vinyl part of the roof is in great shape as well.  The automatic trunk latch works well also.

Drivability:  Just before I put the car into storage, the computer would only allow it to run in limp mode.  According to the Cadillac manual I have for the car the computer is not communicating with the distributor.  So it may either be the ignition module, or a signal failure on the signal wire.  I have just not had the time to make the repair.  Before this failure the car ran like a top, and went down the road just as well.  I went through and replace every gasket I could on the motor, and put a new timing set in as well.  I had the gas tank cleaned and lined, with a new fuel pump installed.  I also started to put in a gauge cluster, to show temp, voltage, and oil pressure.  As the car only came with indicator lights in the dash.

Things you would have to do:  The gauge cluster has to finish being installed.  .The bottom of the dash is removed, so I could access the computer to troubleshoot the ignition issue.  Other then that you shouldn't have to do anything else with the car. 

List of things to go with the car, Cadillac factory repair manual and electrical diagram, 2nd Engine computer.  I also have a radiator core support, head light and grill assembly with the grill and headlights to go with the car.

Cadillac ATS failing to command BMW 3 Series-like pricing as hoped

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

The BMW 3 Series has long been the benchmark for small and sporty luxury vehicles, but the Cadillac ATS has come on strong in its short time on the market as a true rival in this segment. As impressive as Cadillac's new compact sedan is, however, Automotive News is reporting that the car is still lagging behind the 3 Series when it comes to actual transaction pricing.
According to the article, the average transaction price for the ATS is $39,459 while the 3 Series is at a much larger $44,764, but, just as importantly, Cadillac has about $500 more in incentives on the ATS compared to BMW. Transaction prices are much closer to cars like the Mercedes C-Class and Audi A4. Of course, this is all with the ATS trying to take on its small,sport sedan rivals with a single bodystyle and limited powertrain options compared to the numerous options available from the German automakers in this class.
This uneven battle won't last long, though, as recent spy shots have revealed that Cadillac is hard at work on a high-performance ATS-V and an ATS Coupe. No official word as to when either of these models will be unveiled, but with auto show season set to kick off, we're expecting sooner rather than later. The best news for the ATS is that the Automotive News says sales of the ATS are on target and that 74 percent of ATS buyers are new to Cadillac - two important factors for the brand as it tries to break into this tough segment.

Cadillac ATS Crimson Sport Edition is here for a limited run

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

The Cadillac ATS has been a well-received entry into the small sport sedan segment for General Motors' premium brand, but keeping the model fresh is an understandably high priority. A two-door coupe variant is on the way and should help keep interest up, but the line's volume leader is still expected to be the sedan. In order to keep awareness high and sales going, GM will need to lavish a little attention on its four-door, as well. That's where the Crimson Sport Edition comes in.
Crimson Red Metallic paint is the exterior highlight for this special-edition Cadillac, while the interior is complemented with a number of microsuede touchpoints, including the heated steering wheel and shifter. To this point, the car's rich burgundy finish has only been offered on CTS-V Coupe and Sport Wagon models, and brand spokesperson Donny Nordlicht tells Autoblog that this is the first time that the company has offered a microsuede wheel with heat. Four interior trims are also available, although all have been seen previously.
The Crimson Sport will be limited to production this spring, and the trimmings can be added to either the 2.0T Performance or the V6 Premium specifications. Both rear- and all-wheel drive will be available, as well. Prices start at $46,010 for the turbocharged model and $51,010 for the V6 including destination fees, which represents a premium of $2,990 for the extra equipment.

Cadillac upgrades ATS sedan to match new coupe

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

The big news when it comes to the Cadillac ATS for 2015 is surely the addition of the new coupe model, but that doesn't mean that Cadillac has forgotten about the sedan as well. In fact GM's luxury brand has rolled out a few choice enhancements for the four-door to bring it more in line with the new coupe.
Among those changes that we spotted a couple of weeks ago is a new front fascia that incorporates the brand's new wreath-less emblem, and a sleeker front bumper. The interior has been upgraded as well with new trim options as well as some new tech including Siri Eyes Free functionality, dictated text messaging and optional inductive smartphone charging.
Though the ATS Coupe does away with the base engine, sedan buyers can still opt for the 2.0-liter four with 202 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque. The 3.6-liter V6 carries over unchanged at 321 hp and 275 lb-ft, but the 2.0-liter turbo four gets the upgraded torque rating of 295 lb-ft (the highest in the range) to go with its 272 hp. Some new color choices are also among the upgrades you can read more about in the press release below.
