I bought this car 5 years ago off ebay and got screwed. It was supposed to be a daily driver that ran and looked ok. IT WAS FAR FROM IT!!!!! I was left no choice but to fix it, im an autobody tech and the last thing I wanted to do was to work on my car during my time off. So here is a list of what Ive done. Engine and Trans were rebuilt, And I installed the following brand new, Master cylinder and brake booster, Steering box,carburetor,fuel lines on motor, complete engine wire harness from firewall to engine including all the lights and horns etc. calipers, rotors, pads, AC compressor, Power steering pump, motor mounts, belts, Y pipe coming off exhaust manifolds, battery, condensor, heater core, all coolant hoses, all rubber brake lines, Every single component of the front suspension....EVERYTHING! All new rubber for the windows, trunk and doors, 4 brand new tires, while engine was out I painted the engine bay including the engine and front section of frame. Its basically brand new from the winsheild forward. 

I have a used dashboard, rear springs, engine decals, lock cylinders for trunk and driver door. This car runs really good but needs some TLC to be a perfect daily driver. All the hard work is done now it just needs some minor body work and paint to be beautiful again. I have twin boys coming next month and Im assuming I wont have much time to finish this car and plus Im going to need the room for strollers now. I have over $25,000.00 invested in this car NOT including my labor. Feel free to email me with any questions.

Just to answer some of the emails I received I wanted to add this to the page. When I say "20 footer" I mean it looks amazing from 20ft away. There are other things that do not work and may be missing on this vehicle such as trunk lock cylinder but I have one for the buyer in the vehicle so it can be installed. Also the turn signals do not work, needs a turn signal cam. The engine runs pretty good but due to the choke and fast idle cam and possible vacuum hoses not being adjusted correctly can be the cause. Like I said Everything was relpaced new and now its just a matter of adjusting things and getting the vacuum correct. If your expecting a perfectly running car DONT BID!!! Before bidding please email me to go over any specifics that may not be listed. This is a great car to restore, The hard greasy miserable part is done. Dont pass up this oppertunity! I spent $1400.00 alone just on rubber seals, $600.00 for a engine wire harness, $1000.00 for the transmission. I spent $6000.00 on rockauto.com on parts! $1000.00 on tires, $50.00 for a original 1968 fuel filter. If you are unsure of anything please email me before bidding and ill get back to you as soon as I can. I don't want to screw anyone like I got screwed years ago. ASK QUESTIONS!!!!

Having said all of that keep in mind I drive this vehicle on the highway at speeds over 65mph.

I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime.

2014 Cadillac ELR whirs into Jay Leno's Garage

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

While Jerry Seinfeld was gallivanting around LA with Sarah Silverman in a Jaguar XKE, our favorite car-loving comedian, Jay Leno, was checking out the all-new 2014 Cadillac ELR. Set to go on sale later this year, Cadillac brought its ELR to Jay Leno's Garage to show off some of its styling and technology as well as give Leno some seat time in the range-extended EV. Leno owns both a Volt and a CTS-V, and the ELR is a kind combination of the two (sort of).
In this episode, Leno spends some time talking to Frank Saucedo, GM director of advanced design, and ELR chief engineer Chris Thomason before logging a few miles on the sleek coupe. Interestingly, it seems that GM has definitely changed its tune a little since the introduction of the Volt a couple years ago; Saucedo and Leno both refer to the ELR as a hybrid, and Thomason says that it gets the "bulk of its propulsion" from the electric motors. Whatever you want to call it, scroll down to watch the latest episode of JLG with some great information and driving shots of the plug-in Cadillac.

First Cadillac ELR rolls off the line

Thu, 30 May 2013

Gearing up for the Belle Isle Grand Prix this weekend, General Motors invited some of the Chevrolet and Cadillac racecar drivers out to its Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant. While there, the racers - including IndyCar Driver and Chevrolet Volt owner, Simona De Silvestro - witnessed the very first 2014 Cadillac ELR to roll off the assembly line.
These vehicles are not destined for customers, however, but instead pre-production units will be used by engineers for testing purposes. Actual production of ELR consumer models is expected to commence closer to the end of this year. As a refresher, this range-extended electric Cadillac shares much of its powertrain with the Volt but will have a sportier coupe design inspired by the Converj Concept. De Silvestro manged to snap a few images of here own, which you can see in the gallery below.

Cadillac Ciel concept features in Entourage trailer

Wed, Dec 24 2014

Some of us may miss HBO's Entourage more than others, but one way or another, it sure had some cool cars. The characters on the show were constantly trading between Astons, Maseratis and Ferraris – not to mention a smattering of Benzes and Escalades – but one of our favorite sets of wheels from the show's entire eight-year run was the 1965 Lincoln Continental featured in the opening credits. The vintage parade car undoubtedly provided the studio with a great way to showcase the camaraderie between the four members of the title crew, but also made us pine for a time when you could actually get your hands on a four-door convertible. Unfortunately they just don't make 'em like that anymore – not the car and not the TV show in which it featured – but fans of both will be pleased to watch this latest trailer for the upcoming Entourage movie. Not only does it include all the members of the original cast, but it also features Detroit's latest (and arguably most stylish) attempt at reviving the four-door cabriolet: the commandingly elegant and achingly desirable but sadly unobtainable Cadillac Ciel concept of 2011.
