1978 Cadillac Seville

 

Breathtaking 1978 Cadillac Seville!  This particular vehicle is an outstanding example of elegance, style and muscle.  Done in stunning silver/gray metallic, it has matching leather interior that is just as remarkable.

 

Driven only 40k original miles, this show car winner has been meticulously maintained and 100% garage kept.  It has been enhanced with brand new 19 inch BBS rims along with brand new Goodyear tires.

 

Everything mechanically works perfectly.  The problematic fuel injection system of the late 70's is not present in this automobile.  That is because it has been replaced with a carbureted system professionally installed by a certified mechanic and Master GM technician.  It has been fully serviced and its New Jersey inspection sticker does not expire until July 2016.

 

It has all the power options available for 1978 including 6-way power seats, power windows, power steering, power door locks, power trunk pull-down, power antenna, etc.  A tilt and telescopic steering wheel along with cruise control are also present on this extraordinary automobile.     

 

What I (especially) like about this car is that it drives like you are floating on a cloud and yet it has this distinctive, throaty rumble as you accelerate away... which is not really loud, but just thunderous enough to give you a feeling of true power and performance.

 

As you know, this model (made only from 1976 thru 1979) has dramatic styling and elegance and, with the addition of 19 inch rims, stands outrageously strong and actually looks statuesque when standing.  I think the best part about this Seville is its rare hardtop.  It just looks so much better than the tattered landau roofs of the 1970's.

 

PURCHASE GUARANTEE: 

Hold your check!  If you click the Buy It Now price or if I accept your Best Offer and you are coming in person to pick up the vehicle, I do not need a deposit.  Look at the car after you purchase it.  Inspect it with your mechanic and take it for a test drive.  If you like what you see, the car is yours!  If you don't like what you see or if you have buyer's remorse, no worries.  Keep your money.  I will simply relist the vehicle. 

I do not want anyone having second thoughts about purchasing this automobile.

 

Feel free to print this page and bring it with you as proof of my guarantee.  However, if you purchase this vehicle and choose not to inspect the vehicle but rather have the car shipped directly to you instead, then (of course) I cannot offer a purchase guarantee.

 

This is indeed a rare find.  Those of you who have been looking for this particular model know just how hard it is to find a '76 thru '79 hardtop in such pristine condition, with such low mileage and finished in such nice matching colors.  Then, to ultimately have it converted to a carbureted system is not only time-consuming, but a costly endeavor if you plan on doing it the right way with a Master GM technician.


Thank you for taking the time to appreciate this true classic. 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

I reserve the right to end this auction early.

Car has 2 sets of keys with remote.

Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 priced at $48,855, AWD at $50,855

Fri, Apr 8 2016

Infiniti's most powerful production model, the new Q50 Red Sport 400, now has a starting price. You'll need at least $48,855 for the rear-drive model or $50,855 for all-wheel drive. (Both figures include the $905 destination charge.) A fully loaded, rear-drive Q50 RS400 with Direct Adaptive Steering, navigation, adaptive cruise control, a heated steering wheel, and Infiniti's entire alphabet soup of safety equipment, tops out at $57,045. (Again, add $2,000 for AWD). When it comes to rear-drive competition, the closest base price to the Q50 is the 320-hp BMW 340i. This German undercuts the Infiniti by two grand, $46,795 to $48,855. But the BMW outprices the Q50 as soon as you start selecting options. A 340i with similar equipment to a loaded Q50 Red Sport 400 costs just under $60,000. All-wheel-drive German competitors also lose out in the price war. Like with the rear-drive models, the BMW 340i xDrive undercuts the Q50 RS400 by around $2,000. Add the options, and the Infiniti becomes a better value. The other two big German rivals, the Audi S4 and Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG start at a higher price and only get more expensive. Technically the S4 starts cheaper than the Q50, but only with the standard manual transmission. Selecting the S-Tronic dual-clutch model kicks the price from $50,125 to $51,125, and going for the top-end Prestige trim will bump potential Audi owners up to $57,025. Throw on must-have S4 options, including adaptive cruise control, adaptive dampers, and a sport differential and you'll be shell out $64,425 for the Audi. The Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG is the priciest choice in this group, starting at $51,725, or roughly $900 more than a base Q50 RS400 with AWD. Options, again, are the downfall here. Building a C450 to match a loaded Infiniti will drive the Mercedes' price up to $64,315. While it occupies something of a weird space relative to these vehicles, it's also worth mentioning the Cadillac CTS VSport. It's the only car in this impromptu pricing comparo that can outgun the Q50, with its 3.6-liter, twin-turbo V6 good for 420 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. It also starts at $60,950, although that includes plenty of standard equipment. All this means that the Q50 Red Sport 400 represents a relative value. It packs more power than the Germans – 80 more than the 340i, 67 more than the S4, and 38 more than the C450 – and a more comprehensive list of options, too.

2016 Cadillac CTS-V prepares to kick ass, take names

Tue, Jan 13 2015

Some stories write themselves. This post on the North American International Auto Show debut of the 2016 Cadillac CTS-V is one of them. This 200-mile-per-hour sedan pilfers the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 from the Chevy Corvette Z06, and puts it to the same tire-devastating effect, offering up 640 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic – please join us in a moment of silence for the dearly departed manual CTS-V – then dispatches the force-induced thrust to a very large, sticky set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. To ensure the CTS-V can tear your face off with lateral Gs as well as accelerative Gs, Cadillac stiffened the car's structure by 25 percent, fitted magnetic ride control and fitted the aforementioned tires. Beyond the mechanicals, a substantial rear spoiler, front splitter and diffuser improve grip through aerodynamics. Keeping drivers pinned during all this tire shredding and face tearing is the task of meaty, two-piece Recaro sport seats, which are found in a luxuriously appointed cabin, complete with 4G LTE connectivity, a Bose stereo and Siri Eyes Free. There's even a Performance Data Recorder, which will be on hand to record your miscues if (or perhaps when) the car's extreme abilities outpace your own talents. Take a look at our array of live images from the CTS-V's official debut at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show.

Cadillac Oscars ad shows none of its cars or trucks

Wed, Feb 18 2015

Can you sell something without actually showing the product in an ad? While this sounds like a question that Don Draper might have, Cadillac apparently thinks it's possible with at least one of the brand's three upcoming Oscars commercial. Days after whiting-out the company's social media presence in preparation for the new campaign, some of the advertising is finally here. Titled Dare Greatly, the first released spot goes for a stripped down, minimalist aesthetic. The entire piece is made up of voiceover and ambient noise set over slow-motion driving shots of New York City. Viewers catch a few out-of-focus glances at a Cadillac interior, but otherwise the only vehicles in the commercial are the ones parked along the street. The speech that is the centerpiece of the ad is all about the glory in just making an attempt, rather than criticizing others. "There is no effort without error and shortcoming," it says at one point. According to The Detroit Free Press, the text comes from a lecture by Teddy Roosevelt in 1910 at the Sorbonne in Paris. Cadillac's commercial never actually attributes the words to the former president, but the company is playing up the connection on social media. The full 1:30 version of the spot is already streaming online, but Cadillac is cutting the commercial into 30-second and 60-second versions to air during the Oscars, according to The Detroit Free Press. Of the brand's two other ads during the awards show, at least one of them shows the company's vehicles.
