Greenville, South Carolina, United States
|
this is a little out of my realm but what a fabulous original car it is. the body is ABSOLUTELY SOLID AS A ROCK and it is just oh so arrow straight with amazingly original solid black leather interior. and it is ABSOLUTELY LOADED WITH OPTIONS. ok here goes with the list.
FACTORY DISC BRAKES (see the original factory window sticker) TILT AND TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN. POWER TRUNK RELEASE WITH AUTOMATIC PULL DOWN. 2 SPEED REAR DEFROST. LIMITED SLIP AXLE. DOOR EDGE GUARDS. ORIGINAL CADILLAC FLOOR MATS. POWER VENT WINDOWS IN ALL 4 DOORS. POWER WINDOWS. POWER DOOR LOCKS. SELF SEEKING AM / FM RADIO. POWER ANTENNA. SIX WAY POWER SEAT.

REAR AIR SHOCKS. REMOTE CONTROL DRIVERS DOOR MIRROR. FRONT AND REAR SEAT BELTS. the mileage put on the car by the first owner, mrs. bruton, was 51,324 and the second owner only put 462 miles on the old girl in 5 years! the car has always lived in the wonderful and wealthy city of charlottesville virginia. and this old car really does run GREAT! and she starts up instantly hot or stone cold and idles very smoothly. the vin is P8181765. she was bought new on january the twelve 1968 by mrs. roy v.bruton at peyton cadillac in charlottesville virginia for $9,111.80. i have a copy of the ORIGINAL title and i have CLEAR TITLE FROM THE 2nd OWNER IN HAND. i also have the original keys are with the car in the original selling dealers leather key fob, stamped PEYTON CADILLAC. how cool is that. to see OVER 300 MORE PICTURES OF 'CHARLOTTE' go to the FLICKR photo sharing site and type 1968 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD BROUGHAM CHARLOTTE into the search engine and the 300+ PICTURES will come up. the old car can be driven around the yard and onto a trailer but she has been off the road just long enough that you would want to check everything over before taking her out on the highway and getting up to speed. the FACTORY DISC BRAKES work but i think a good bleed of the entire brake system would be a good idea. the tires are about 80% and the exhaust is quiet and looks to be an original cadillac system. she does not run at all hot even if left idling for long periods and the A/C clutch kicks in fine but the system needs a charge. the power seat works, the door locks works, the radio comes on and hums but does`nt want to pick up a station. i think there is a problem with the antenna connection. the antenna works fine from the radio push / pull button but the mast is broken right at the bottom. the power trunk release and pull down work great. none of the power windows work at all so i`m thinking it must be a fuse which i will check out. i will report what i find here on ebay. there is a pretty bad power steering leak, it comes out as fast as you put it in kind of leak. it is dripping from the middle of the front cross member so it must be a hose. the turn signal switch only stays on in one position, the other way you have to hold it. the tilt and tele steering column works great and the horns are amazing, talk about loud, LOL. all the glass is perfect and the area where the vinyl top meets the upper quarter panel`s is really solid, heavy surface rust but thats it. obviously the old girl needs a new top and paint but the whole body is oh so straight with only one really small ding in the drivers door down low, it was probably opened onto something and it will be a very easy ding to repair. the under side of the hood is excellent but the little trims that come down from the hood lip and meet the chrome lip molding are missing, weird. the lip of the trunk lid where it meets the body is excellent also and the only real area with any corrosion is the little channel that holds the rubber trunk gasket on the drivers side. the gasket is still surprisingly supple and soft. ALL THE 4 FLOOR PANS & TRUNK PAN ARE EXCELLENT! the floors are as solid as the day they were made! the old car still has her original jack, lug wrench, wooden chock and spare tire cover but there is no spare wheel or tire. when we took the fender skirts off we found everything behind them to be as solid as the rest of the car. the skirts themselves are also excellent and all the lower body moldings are in truly great condition. for microcar lovers this has to be what amounts to the holy grail of barn finds, it truly is in unbelievably good condition. any inspection is welcome and encouraged, no disappointments at all with this fantastic little van. once again the VIN # is P8181765 and i have CLEAR TITLE IN HAND. now the nitty gritty. i require full payment in 3 days by cash in person or bank to bank wire transfer no other form of payment will be accepted, end of story. if you cannot abide by these very simple terms then do not bid. my feedback is over 380 and 100% positive, check it out. i will gladly ship anywhere in the world. oversea`s shipping is no problem at all. charleston port is 4 hours east of me and i have sent antique cars over sea`s before and know exactly what is involved. if you need a shipping quote to anywhere in the world just email me. if you would like to see OVER 300 MORE PICTURES go to the FLICKR photo sharing site and type 1968 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD BROUGHAM CHARLOTTE into the search engine and the 300+ PICTURES will come up. you may also call my cell on 864 616 6860 before 10 pm eastern standard time to discuss the car. the shipping service to england and mainland europe drive on / drive off is approximately $850 and if you put her in a 20 foot container its $2250 give or take a little. a 40 foot container is $2850 if you have other things you want shipped in with the car. i can arrange whatever suits your needs and shipping time is 11 to 13 days depending on where its going. obviously prices can vary a little depending on the exchange rate on the day but as of this writing, 10/31/2013 the prices stated are a safe bet. for a quote to Australia or anywhere in Asia please drop me a line. likewise if you want a shipping quote within the United States just give me a call. thank you all and good luck. |

Cadillac ATS failing to command BMW 3 Series-like pricing as hoped
Mon, 05 Aug 2013The 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 Elmiraj sedan RWD flagship finally caught testing
Wed, 22 Jan 2014While we still have no insight as to it being named Elmiraj, STS or some other permutation of the -TS nomenclature ("LTS" has apparently been registered by GM, as well), new spy shots give us proof positive that Cadillac is indeed hard at work on a rear-wheel-drive flagship model. Spied for the very first time in some north country testing, these shots provide a first look at the upcoming range-topper from Cadillac.
Impressively long and large bodywork ride atop new General Motors' corporate Omega rear-drive architecture here. Heavy cladding over camouflage may discourage finding any details, but the overall, sharp-edged and blocky design is clearly reminiscent of what we've seen on the new CTS and the recently debuted ATS coupe. A strong, wheels-at-each-corner stance helps emphasize the length of this stretched Caddy, and everything about the proportions seem spot-on for a new fullsize flagship for the brand.
It's quite possible that Cadillac will ultimately festoon this large sedan with detailing reminiscent of the original Elmiraj coupe, though thus far we've only seen prototypes wearing four-doors.
2015 Cadillac ATS, CTS recalled over brake issue
Tue, Jun 23 2015A problem with the brakes on the 2015 ATS and CTS has prompted Cadillac to issue a recall. According to the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the issue revolves around the bracket that connects the brake pedal assembly and the rod that actuates the brakes. Even under normal operation, that bracket could fracture, impeding the ability to slow or stop the vehicle. That, as you're surely aware, could increase the risk of a crash. The issue affects a reported 2,163 vehicles in the United States. Owners will need to be bring their vehicles in to their local dealership to have those brackets replaced starting on August 1.
