This thing is a BEAST!!

Its 19 feet long! Weighs 5,000 pounds! Its black and covered in chrome! It has a 7 liter engine generating 480 foot-pounds of torque!

IT IS UNREAL!

The vehicle in particular is a 1964 Series 60/Fleetwood Cadillac.

This is a fairly uncommon vehicle, with some really interesting features:
-14,500 were made in the 1964 model year, with a sticker price of $6,366
-It was the final Cadillac year to have fins: The body was transitioning from the spaceship body era of the early 60s to the giant brick body era of the late 60s.
-It was the first year for the 7L/429 cubic inch engine, making ~340 hp w/ ~480 ftlb torque
-It was also among the first vehicles with the then new GM Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. It offers 3 speeds. The TH series is still more-or-less in use TODAY, and is found in humvees!
-A trunk that will fit a half-dozen bodies
-Creature-comforts wise, it included an AM radio with retractable antenna, air conditioning (!!!), and an automatic headlight dimmer that would detect on-coming cars, and power windows, locks, and seats.
-Seat belts!

Now for specifics on this vehicle. I have the title free and clear and in my name. For you out of state shoppers, the windshield wipers, horn, and lights all work.

For the most part, the car is in good shape, especially for an unmolested 51 year old!

It isn't perfect! There is some body rust and poor body repairs that would need to be addressed before winning any car shows. The window weatherstripping is shot, and the paint-job looks as good as you would expect a 20 year old back yard job to look! If you leave her out in the rain she gets a bad mildew smell. Both the transmission and the power steering like to leak ATF. I've never replaced the windshield wiper blades. The starter solenoid cracked in half and was glued back together. Windshield wiper sprayer is broke and GONE! Windshield is a little frosted. Power locks and power seats don't work. While all the big windows work, the power corner windows are hit-or-miss. The odometer says something like 35000, but I have my doubts about when it worked last (shes low miles for sure, but actual miles ?).  AC does not work, and I've never troubleshot it.

That being said, she is totally road worthy and a blast to own! I had her out on the interstate today!

She has had a lot of work done immediately before and during my ownership. A list of repairs follows:
-reupholstered some time around 20 years ago??
-new thermostat and tires (tires probably have less than 1000 miles on them. Effectively new.)
-new horn relay and varied windshield wiper linkage repairs
-converted to a modern Edelbrock carburetor (note* you can generally expect some hp and torque gains with these new carbs. The ~340hp ~480 ftlb torque is from internet sources on original equipment)
-new 'cat-back' equivalent exhaust from GAP automotive
-rebuilt brake master cylinder and vacuum booster, and replacement front slave cylinders
-new battery, alternator, and voltage regulator (no its not built into the alternator!)
-patched floor pan under the drivers feet
-JUST FINISHED replacing all fuel supply lines and fuel pump. Also installed filters before and after the pump

Also some free stuff is included: new-old-stock muffler, replacement OGPI floor pans, original air cleaner, some empty schlitz bottles, and an old bible! Vehicle actually appears to have the original jack and wrenches for spare tires. Also: a roll of replacement trunk weatherstripping.

All told, she is a good machine. Could use some TLC. This beast still has a goddamn frame with no rust/no unibody bs! And she runs like a scalded dog!

Now to answer why I am selling: I bought this thing around 3 years ago, but moved 1.5 years ago. While I have a garage at the new place, access is limited and she is anything but practical for me to work on or get out to drive about town (if you come to see her and we take her out, you'll totally understand me! As such I think its time for her to go. I'll eventually move and have a good space for the next project.

** the headliner is fine/doesn't have weird stains. Those weird lines are bright reflections coming off of the door trim.

****For more pics contact me or find my listing on Louisville's Craigslist

 It is for sale locally, and I do reserve the right to cancel the auction.  

Winning bidders must submit a $1000 deposit within 48 hours via paypal or other agreed means.  Total due on pickup in cash.  This vehicle must be out of my hands within 8 calender days of sale.

2017 Cadillac XT5 will debut in Dubai

Tue, Sep 8 2015

Cadillac 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.

Best luxury SUVs of 2022 and 2023

Mon, Sep 12 2022

Once upon a time, the idea of a luxury SUV meant a Range Rover, and even that was pretty agricultural by modern standards. Then Jeep Grand Cherokees and Ford Explorers started offering fancy, range-topping versions followed soon by Lexus, BMW and Mercedes dipping their toes in the water. And then the floodgates opened. Today, there is a staggering number of luxury SUVs available in every shape, size and price point. There are electric luxury SUVs like the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace, as well as gas-swilling, high-performance SUVs like the BMW X5 M and Cadillac Escalade V. Sports car makers Porsche, Aston Martin and Lamborghini have even dived in.  But of this great many, which are the best luxury SUVs? We sat down, scoured our reviews, took some votes, had some discussions and came up with the luxury SUVs we view as the best. They are listed alphabetically within the six segments listed below.  Best Subcompact Luxury SUV   |   Best Compact Luxury SUV   |   Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Two-Row) Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Three-Row)   |   Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Two-Row)   |   Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Three-Row)  Best subcompact luxury SUVs Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class Why it stands out: Outstanding space and versatility; legit luxury interior; amusing GLB 35 versionCould be better: Overwhelming and confusing tech interface Most subcompact luxury SUVs are a dubious value, with cramped interiors of marginal quality and unrefined driving dynamics. You'd be much better off paying less money for a loaded, non-luxury compact SUV. The Mercedes GLB is different, though. Its boxy design provides space few other subcompact SUV can match (luxury or otherwise), while its cabin design and feature content are in keeping with pricier Mercedes models. The quality's not exactly up to GLC standards, nor is driving refinement, but the difference is appropriate for how much you're saving and still perfectly acceptable. There's nothing dubious about buying a GLB.     Volvo XC40 Why it stands out: More features for the money; spacious and versatile interior; distinctive design; electric versionCould be better: Fuel-efficient base engine only available with FWD Most subcompact luxury models feel a bit like cheap knockoffs of their bigger, pricier brand mates. The XC40, by contrast, is a break from the Volvo norm in a good way.
