Estate Sale Meticulous Records 27 Year Af General Owner Runs Great All Original on 2040-cars
St. George, Utah, United States
|
Beautiful, meticulously maintained, freeway driven, totally stock and original, rust-free (other than light surface), great running and driving 1977 Cadillac Seville that was owned by a retired 2 Star General in the Air Force (check out the Nellis AFB sticker on the front bumper - 2 Stars) and has spent the last 27 years in the dry, desert climate of inland Southern California and Southern Utah. This is an estate sale (title is clear and transferable) that I'm conducting on behalf of a friend of a friend whose husband passed in December. And when I say meticulous, I'm not kidding. I have a 2 inch thick file of receipts and detailed notes written by the owner regarding upkeep and repairs. The depth of record keeping is incredible. When they purchased it in 1987, it had been owned by a little old lady and only had 27,723 miles on the odometer.
Mechanically, it's in excellent, original condition. Based on the receipt history (see below for an excerpt), there is a possibility the odometer has turned over twice. If that is correct, you would never know based on interior/exterior condition and how it drives. Overwhelmingly diligent maintenance and almost all freeway miles (virtually wear-free) are clearly in evidence here. The only flaw I can find is a minor exhaust leak. These Cadillac's came from the factory with fuel injection which gives them a civility rivaling today's cars. It starts, runs, accelerates, turns, brakes and stops extremely well. And it drives very tightly/solidly with no rattles or squeaks. Talk about an awesome, classy, practical, low-maintenance, vintage daily driver. The body is in extremely good condition with no accident history and original paint. The vinyl top has aged well but has some light sun cracking (barely visible). The trunk is pristine and still has the original space-saver spare tire (see pics). The undercarriage still looks great. It's only flaws are some easily replaceable, brittle plastic molding (the downside to a dry, desert climate) pieces that have broken away between the bumper and body in the rear and surface rust in several places where the paint has simply deteriorated after 37 years (see pics). There is no rust-through anywhere. Notwithstanding paint wear, the body itself has aged exceptionally well. And all the hard-to-find trim is still there and in great shape. Other than a few dash cracks and sun-baked fabric trim around door frames, the interior is in wonderful, original condition. It's so good it makes me very skeptical of the miles. Doors open and close solidly. Electric windows roll up and down smoothly. Seats, carpet, headliner, door panels, etc., are in great condition (see pics). Everything seems to work well other than the antenna (won't go up/down) and digital clock. The AC compressor works properly but does not blow cold. I suspect it only needs a recharge. And the original radio was long-ago swapped out for a Pioneer cassette deck. My name is Chris and I am happy to answer your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have tons of pictures that show every nook and cranny in great detail. Send me your email address and I'll get them to you. And you may want to consider flying in and driving it home. That would be a blast and I'd be happy to help facilitate it. This sweet 1977 Cadillac Seville is located in the dry, desert community of St. George, Utah (a little over 100 miles north of Las Vegas). Good luck and good bidding. Just an addendum. Below is an incomplete summary of some of the maintenance records in the 2 inch thick history file. Thought you may find it valuable... * New Battery * AC Compressor * AC Evaporator * Fuel Pressure Regulator * Electric Fuel Pump * Fuel Filter * Ignition Module * Exhaust System * Alternator * Tires (6000 Miles Ago But Light Cracking From Sitting) * Heater Core * Smog Pump * Brake Pads & Rotors * Windshield Washer Pump * Fan Belts * Shocks All Around (Rear Air Shocks) * Pitman Arm Seal Because of the excellent maintenance (and the above info just scratches the surface) and type of miles driven (mostly freeway), in my opinion this Seville runs and drives as if it has low miles. |

2017 Cadillac XT5 will debut in Dubai
Tue, Sep 8 2015Cadillac confirmed the 2017 XT5 crossover – the replacement for the SRX – will officially debut at the Dubai Motor Show in November. The XT5 will then make its first North American appearance at the Los Angeles Auto Show later that month. The current SRX is a hugely important vehicle for Cadillac – it's still the company's best-selling product worldwide. But it's pretty old now, having launched in 2009 as a 2010 model. The XT5 will bolster all of the good things about the SRX while finally bringing that product up to date. Above, you can see a spy shot of what looks to be the new XT5, caught during a photo shoot. "The XT5 will be the cornerstone of a series of crossovers bearing the 'XT' designation," Cadillac said in a statement. We've long known that Cadillac wants to add a CUV between the XT5 and its flagship Escalade. But we think there's also room for something smaller – a proper fighter to the expanding entry-level luxury crossover segment that includes the Mercedes-Benz GLA, BMW X1, upcoming Infiniti QX30, and more. We'll have more information on the 2017 XT5 this week. In addition to the auto show news, Cadillac confirmed it will have a few photos and details to share in the coming days. Stay tuned.
Cadillac Live virtual showroom is open for business in the U.S.
Sun, Dec 15 2019Cadillac launched the streaming showroom known as Cadillac Live in Canada earlier this year. The program places a Cadillac product specialist in an open studio laid out similar to a dealership. Equipped with an iPhone X on an Osmo Mobile gimbal and a Bluetooth headset, the specialist conducts one-way video chats with car buyers shopping for Cadillacs and owners who have questions about their cars. Now Cadillac Live has arrived in the United States. Described as "part personal shopper and part interactive digital showroom," it's aimed at converting luxury shoppers into Wreath and Crest buyers by making the research experience simpler. The automaker says it has data showing that "71% of customers report switching to a competitor’s product after finding their selection process easier." As well as being able to show and demonstrate 10 physical vehicles and their features, product specialists will be able to use a tablet app interface to run through color and accessory options. Shoppers and buyers with questions can reach a Cadillac Live agent from 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. ET Monday to Thursday, 9 a.m.-9 p.m. ET on Friday, and 11 a.m.-7 p.m. ET Saturday and Sunday. Calls can be taken on demand or scheduled at the Cadillac Live site, call appointments can be made for times outside of the traditional opening hours, and multiple callers can participate. U.S. customers in California, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York who like what they discover can automatically be connected to a local dealer to move on to the next phase. And video calls are one-way, so work-from-home types need not worry about broadcasting their coffee-stained "Beast Mode" workwear.Â
Cadillac teases production ELR ahead of Detroit Auto Show
Tue, 18 Dec 2012General Motors has just confirmed that the 2014 Cadillac ELR will make its official debut next month at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. We've already seen the ELR testing earlier this year using the same range-extended electric drive system as the Chevrolet Volt, and based on the shadowy image above, we're happy to see that the coupe's styling has stayed pretty true to 2009 Converj Concept.
The two-door ELR will be built alongside the Volt at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck plant starting later next year. Aside from this info, Cadillac has remained tight-lipped on the specific details of the car. But all that will all change on January 15.
Until then, all we have to offer you is the press release posted after the jump.
