I am re-listing this vehicle because the first winner (from overseas) didn't finish paying for the car and apparently had problems with transporting the car.

Up for auction is a 1981 Fleetwood Brougham Cadillac.

I AM NOT SELLING INDIVIDUAL PARTS OFF OF THIS CAR….IF YOU ARE THE WINNING BIDDER, YOU WILL HAVE 7 DAYS TO GET THE CAR ONCE THE AUCTION IS OVER. IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT PICKED UP WITHIN THE 7 DAYS FOLLOWING THE AUCTION, YOUR DEPOSIT WILL BE FORFEITED. I WILL NOT REFUND THE DEPOSIT. I have a bill of sale for this car and the registration from when it was last driven on the road.

The story behind why I’m selling this car is simple: I left to go to Afghanistan to put in work with the USMC in 2009. At that time the car was in great condition for the most part. Everything on the car worked. I left the car with my uncle. In late 2010, my uncle ran over a speed breaker too fast and broke the oil sending unit off. The oil leaked out of the engine and the engine eventually began to knock. The car has been sitting where you see it in the pics since that time. The engine is a 6.0 Liter (4-6-8 Motor…368cid….see pic) with 146,460 miles. I returned to the USA September 22^nd, 2013. Unfortunately I do not have the time or money to restore the car. The price I listed is what the junkyard offered me for the car based on metal weight. I hate to just give the car to the junkyard because of all the new parts I put on the car before I was deployed. I think this car would be a great project car for someone. I have listed below all the things I can remember I had done to the car before I left for Afghanistan. Please email me if you have any questions before bidding and I will be more than happy to let you know everything I can about this car. Surprisingly enough, when I put a battery in the car (….just because I was curious to see if it would turn over) and sprayed some quick-start in it, ….it started up! I’m sure the gas is bad as it has been in the car sitting for four years, but I did get it to start. There is rust on the bottom of the doors and trunk lid and the vinyl top was ruined I guess from the heat and winter cold and sitting under a tree over the last four years. I do know a guy that has all four used replacement doors and trunk lid for that car for $475.00 and the motor for $700.00 I will give this info to whoever gets the car in case you want to get the parts from them. I figure even if someone got the car just to use the new parts that I put on it and the hard to get parts and then brought the car to the junkyard and got the metal weight, it would be a great deal. I just don’t have the money or time to deal with it.

Here are the parts that I had installed on the car (…and what I paid for them) before I left in 2009.
New rear bumper fillers (the ones that always rot out) (cost me $185.00 from Euro-Imports ….the same place that painted the car)
New tires (have less than 50 miles on them)…..but they have dry-rot now. They look good…LOL! …but I would just use them for moving the car around while fixing it, but not for driving on the main road or highway. (cost me $525.00 from Pep-Boys)
New rear coil springs from Henessy Cadillac dealership. (cost me $351.00)
New Exhaust system from Midas Muffler ($215.00)
New Headliner from Gary’s upholstery (cost me $195.00) I saw stains on the headliner. My son says the stains are from moisture getting in the car and evaporating over the years.
Tail Light Lenses and reverse lights from a private seller on ebay (cost me $180.00)
Matching OEM Cadillac hub caps with lock
Rear Bumper ($275.00 from a private seller on ebay)
Air Conditioning system converted over to R134a installed by Georgia Air for (cost me $635.00)
Driver’s side front window and seat control switch on the door. (cost me $75.00 for the part and installation at Euro Imports)
Front and rear brakes from Euro Imports ($355.00)….this was done I think in 2007 or 2008

Other details:
The spare tire has never been used. (see pic)
The jack is complete and in the trunk. I have never used the jack.
The car has the original Cadillac rubber trunk floor mat
The car has the original gray trunk carpet from the factory
The car came with what I believe is a “GM - Body by Fisher” fender-cover. I guess if you are working on the car. I never used it, because I wasn’t sure of what it was really for. (see pics)
The dash has a custom matching cover with the Cadillac emblem on it. (see pic)
The windshield wasn’t cracked when I left, but it is now.
The only part of the seats and door panels that I remember having tears is the driver’s side and the door panel on the passenger’s side (see pics).
The car has ALL the chrome trim that came with it from the factory

Here are things that I remember working (that usually don’t on most Cadillacs of this year):
The Radio worked
The power Antennae worked
All the fiber-optics worked These are the little lights on the top of the fenders (it has a white light to let you know the headlights are on, a blue to let you know the high beams are on and an orange light to let you know if the signal light is on) and the one inside on the rear center located on the headliner (it has two red lights ….right and left……for signal lights and they get brighter when you step on the brakes.
The cruise control worked
All windows power locks and power seats worked
Power trunk lid pull down works
The Sentinel Light System worked
The MPG Sentinel worked
The Factory Symphonic Sound System worked

2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

Cadillac has become a very, very different company since the dawn of the new millenium. Its turn-of-the-century lineup, consisting of staid offerings like the Seville, DeVille and Eldorado, represented the Old Cadillac. These cars were plagued with Old GM quality issues and catered to a more elderly audience. Since the company's Art and Science design language arrived, though, we've seen Cadillac flesh out its lineup in a big way, introducing notable and (so far) enduring products, like the the CTS, SRX and most recently, the ATS.
With the CTS tackling the 5 Series segment and the SRX duking it out with the Lexus RX and its classmates, the ATS has been left with the tough task of battling the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, among others. Critically, at least, it has excelled in this role, but it's still working on finding its feet sales-wise. On paper, broadening the model range by adding a two-door personal luxury coupe could help.
After a week with the ATS Coupe, though, we've found a car that, while retaining the standard model's excellent driving character, doesn't quite offer enough visual excitement to stand up to other cars in its segment.

First-edition Detroit muscle raises millions for charity at Barrett-Jackson

Mon, Jan 19 2015

Amidst all the classic metal crossing the auction block each year in Scottsdale, AZ, Detroit automakers have a tradition of donating the first examples of their most enticing new muscle cars, with the proceeds of their sales going towards worthwhile charities. This year, Barrett-Jackson handled three noteworthy examples. The highest price among them was the first Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang with the VIN #001, which raised $1 million for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. General Motors donated the first new Chevy Corvette Z06 Convertible, the first retail example of the droptop supercar garnering $800,000 for the United Way. Along with the Z06, GM also donated the first new 2016 Cadillac CTS-V sedan, which brought in $170,000 for Detroit's College for Creative Studies. Although these were the headline Motown muscle machines furnished by the automakers themselves, they weren't the only vehicles auctioned off for worthy causes. A 1950 GM Futurliner bus donated by collector Ron Pratte led the charge when it brought in $4.65 million for the Armed Forces Foundation. Other lots included a custom Jeep Wrangler donated by SEMA ($85k), a new M5 donated by BMW ($800k), a '79 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst ($140k), '39 Cadillac LaSalle C-Hawk ($410k), Jeff Gordon's 1999 NASCAR-spec Chevy Monte Carlo ($500k) and a Victory Cross Country 8-Ball motorcycle ($180k). All told, the charity lots raised over $8.7 million for local and national charities.

Cadillac sales chief fired over policy violation

Sun, 21 Jul 2013

Amidst a good year for Cadillac, which is experiencing higher sales gains than any other US brand this year, the US sales chief has been fired over a policy violation, Automotive News reports.
The sales chief, Chase Hawkins, "has left effective immediately," GM spokesman David Caldwell told Automotive News. Caldwell went on to say that Hawkins' replacement would be chosen soon.
Hawkins became the US sales chief in June 2012, and before that was the regional sales director for Cadillac in the Northeast US, overseeing 168 dealerships.
