up for auction is a 1985 cadillac eldorado convertible for restoration.I am selling for a friend who recently faced a disability and can no longer pursue the project.The car does start and runs but seems to leak anti freeze from somewhere(was told it was the head gasket)and also has the coolant temp light on the dash there is no antifreeze present in the oil, the body is solid with very little rusting,all electrical does work including the convertible top,the passenger side window will not go up but seems to be the only issue with the car,no other warning lights are present besides the coolant temp.

The odometer reads 31k which I as told from previous seller are all original, the title and owners manual are available, the overall body is solid,the exterior has fading and will need a paint job,the trunk is dented(white replacement trunk included) the asc convertible top needs replacement,the original interior of the car was white with red accents but in very rough condition(pics included),I have began swapping interior from a 1982 coupe purchased  for parts to give the car a complete red interior(door panels ad front seats are in will need rear seat the seats from the coupe are wider), the convertible is not finished but all parts are there to complete it.

the car has only been in possession for a month before the injury occurred and not too much is known about the car.I ask that all potential buyers ask any and all questions before bidding.again this is a restoration/project vehicle and is being sold as is where is.buyer is responsible for their own shipping of vehicle.the car is for sale locally I reserve the right to cancel the auction at anytime.

Relisting due to non paying bidder Please do not bid if you do not have intentions to buy

Cadillac finds a few more horsepower for ATS-V

Wed, Mar 25 2015

We've rarely found cause to complain about a car getting more power, and guess what? That's not going to change here. After initially announcing that the new ATS-V would come to market with a Corvette-matching 455 horsepower, Cadillac has come back with an SAE-certified 464 horsepower. That, as Automobile points out, puts the high-performance ATS in spitting distance of the base Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and its 469 hp. Anyone else feeling bad for owners of the 425-hp BMW M3? While the ATS-V is getting a bit more grunt, somehow, we doubt Cadillac will adjust its previously published performance figures. Expect 60 miles per hour to arrive in 3.9 seconds, with a top speed of 185 mph. As of this writing, a lucky Autoblog staffer is lapping the ATS-V around Circuit of the Americas in Austin as part of the sedan's big launch. So while we can't fill you in on its real-world performance just yet, expect a big update soon. Related Video:

Cadillac still planning for big things in China

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

Despite some hiccups, China remains the auto industry's great hope for new vehicle sales, with significant sales gains and a huge upside. Nowhere is that hope more fervent than at General Motors, which offers eight different marques in the Asian nation. China has been GM's single biggest market the last three years running, and is unlikely to give up that title anytime soon. Yet its premiere brand, Cadillac, has remained essentially stagnant, selling just 30,000 units in China last year. That's in a segment where sales of luxury vehicles has outpaced that of the larger Chinese market. So what gives?
According to Cadillac officials Autoblog spoke with in China this week at the Shanghai Motor Show, it's been a problem of product - they haven't had the right ones. Displacement taxation issues, import tariffs and currency fluctuations have all conspired to make the brand's products less appealing than they might otherwise have been. But GM is stepping on the gas with Cadillac, and executives are eyeballing 100,000 sales by 2016 - more than triple the Wreath and Crest's current volume. And the expectations for the brand only get more ambitious from there - they're shooting for 10 percent of the luxury market by 2020. Bob Socia, President of GM China, promises that there will be a new Caddy launched in the market each year from now through 2016 and most will be built in China. Characterizing the company's efforts to revive the brand's fortunes as a "relaunch" of sorts, Cadillac also figures to gain dealers as GM expands its sales outlet footprint westward.
New products like a made-in-China XTS sedan (with a market-specific 2.0-liter four-cylinder to avoid heavy displacement taxes) will help, and Socia hinted that the ATS sport sedan could be next in line for in-country production. The SRX crossover - currently the brand's best-selling model in China - will also likely get a long look for future local production when the next-generation model is introduced. In the meantime, Cadillac unveiled the Escalade ESV Hybrid (shown above) as its latest model addition to capitalize on the market's white-hot luxury SUV segment.
