Cadillac Seville Gorgeous Champagne California Car on 2040-cars
Springfield, Missouri, United States
|
Up for bids is my gorgeous 1976 Cadillac Seville. This is a rust free California car that has never seen a winter. I had the car shipped to my storage facility in Springfield Missouri
last year in April 2013. I purchased the vehicle from a gentleman who bought the car from the original owner. The original owner had lost her husband many years ago and she kept the car using it infrequently until she was no longer able to drive. This would account for the very low mileage. The fellow I bought the car from had not owned it very long. He was unable to get the car running properly. The cold start was the primary issue. He had it to several shops trying different things to no avail. I had a pretty good idea what to look for when I made a deal to purchase the car. When I saw the car arrive on the transport truck from California I was just thrilled. We like to never got it running and off the truck but finally it reluctantly started and I was able to get it into my garage. The problem was nothing more than a simple coolant sensor. Finding that coolant sensor took some doing but I finally located one in Oklahoma City. It was a NOS new sensor right in the original GM box. I installed the sensor and the car now starts and runs perfectly. I also removed the entire fuel rail and replaced all the old O-rings. I had one bad fuel injector and just cleaned the other injectors. The car hits the road now like a champ, has lots of power and NO hesitations or stumbles. Finally I did have the entire cooling system and heater core back flushed and the pressure tested. The car is in excellent mechanical condition and could be driven anywhere. To my knowledge the only known defect is that the cruise is not working. The climate control system works properly, heat and defrost as well as cold air. The car is sitting on four new radial tires. The body on this car is super nice and straight. It is an original car with original paint which is slightly faded. The vinyl roof is in very good condition not cracked or torn but slightly faded. In one of my pictures it should show a slight separation of the vinyl away from the lower trim molding for the top. There is one very small minor imperfection in the paint about the size of a silver dollar and it is located on a lower panel. I tried to get a picture of that also. The interior is beautiful on this car. It's one of the nicest original un-restored cars I've seen. My problem is and always has been that I have too many old cars. Last fall a Buick Riviera became available and I bought that car. I only have room in my storage building for four cars. So, I decided to let the Seville go. However, every time I get in that car and drive it I say to myself, "you're crazy to sell this car, where do you find one this nice?" I have been putting off listing this car for two months now simply because I hate to see it go. Well, it's either the Caddy, the Riviera or build another storage building. Someone bidding on this auction is going to get one fine '76' Seville! |

Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites
Sun, Jan 7 2024Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.
Cadillac ATS-V Coupe caught undisguised ahead of LA reveal
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Vsport versions of the CTS and XTS sedans are all well and good, but what Cadillac enthusiasts have really been looking forward to is the arrival of the next full-on V model. And here we have it.
Spied in the nude during an apparent photo shoot ahead of its anticipated debut at the fast-approaching Los Angeles Auto Show, the upcoming new Cadillac ATS-V Coupe is set to pick up where the old CTS-V left off, only in a more compact form. Unlike previous spy shots of heavily disguised prototypes, this final version is showing a chrome-framed mesh grille, along with a deep lower air dam with what looks to be a carbon-fiber front splitter. That bulging hood with heat extractor vents is tipped to be packing a twin-turbo V6 engine, breathing out of quad exhaust tips.
The aggressive aero kit also encompasses side skirts, a reshaped rear bumper and a lip spoiler on the truck, while the upgraded rolling stock wears serious low-profile rubber and the brakes appear to be carbon-ceramic units. Peer through the window and you can even see the sport bucket seats with slots for racing harnesses. All of which suggests a serious American challenger to the BMW M4 and its ilk, and we're looking forward to seeing the vehicle in the metal in LA next month.
