1978 Seville with an upgraded 350 Olds Diesel engine. The engine is a Goodwrench DX block, a factory recall replacement for the problematic original D blocks. It now has ARP head studs and Victor-Reinz head gaskets on the original pencil injector heads. It also has a newly rebuilt TH350 Transmission, which is an upgrade from the the original TH200s that were stock on this generation.
Other mechanical work and upgrades include:
An all aluminum radiator, with new hoses.
External additional transmission cooler
New Gates water pump.
New Gates water pump.
Rebuilt master cylinder.
Rebuilt Hydroboost unit.
New starter.
New Duralast Gold Batteries.
New belts
New Kumho tires
New Kumho tires
New brake calipers on all four wheels.
Fuel lines have been inspected and replaced as necessary. Fuel tank has been dropped, flushed and reinstalled.
Water separator fuel filter replacing the factory filter
New wiper motor, washer motor, and wiper blades.
Other notes:
A/C unit has been removed (see pics) and I'm running a simple heating system. I have the entire A/C unit still, though the plastic housing is most likely not useable.
Oil cooler has been bypassed, as the new radiator did not have one. I am running a simple loop in the system, with Rotella synthetic oil.
The negatives:
The exhaust is leaky. The stock headers are fine, but the replacement pipe I have put in hasn't ever sealed right. I never attended to it too much because I had dreams of installing a dually system. Still do as a matter of fact.
There is a short in the dome light circuit that I have not yet found, which requires me keeping that circuit un-powered lest I drain the batteries overnight. This means that the dome light inside doesn't work.
The interior is very decent but not mint. The driver's side seat and door are the worst.
The sunroof does not open.
Cruise control does not work
The hood hinges are broken and need repair or replacement
Trip meter does not work but Odometer does
Original paint is peeling. I have sanded and clear-coated these spots to further stop deterioration.
This car has been a several year project for me, and my starting bid is a lot less than what I have into it. I have all my receipts. It sat for 25 years before I found it, in 2010 and thus has seen very little salt. I bought it from CT as a non-runner, with the odometer reading 14K (is now at 26K). The known history of the car supports this being the accurate mileage, as I was able to trace back from the seller to the original owner the few owners in between, none of whom had it running. During my efforts to get the car registered I learned from the CT DMV that it had been last registered in 1985, to the original owner. During my work on the car I also found a stash of business cards from the original owner under the back seat. He was a home heating oil salesman for Whirlpool, and the car even had heating oil in the tank still when I received it back in 2010.
This is a great car, and I use it as a daily driver, as well as take it on long trips. Selling because times are tough, etc., and also because the right buyer might just be out there. If it doesn't sell I will continue to use it. I may be interested in partial trades for a smaller diesel car, truck, or gas compact pickup.
The car is currently registered and inspected in my name in MA.
If you are interested in knowing more details, please contact me, as I'm sure I've left something out.

Cadillac CTS wins 2014 Motor Trend Car of the Year [w/video]
Thu, 07 Nov 2013For the second time, the Cadillac CTS has been named Motor Trend's Car of the Year. After winning the COTY crown for 2008, the new-for-2014 CTS outdid the other two finalists for Car of the Year honors, the Mazda3 and its corporate cousin, the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.
What's notable about the Caddy's victory, though, is how it simply brushed off its competition. Both the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series failed to make the finalist's bracket, leaving the CTS to claim victory. "It had to beat [Mercedes and BMW] on style, on performance, on comfort, and on quality. It has," Motor Trend said in its COTY recap for the CTS.
The team at Motor Trend praised the CTS chassis, calling it "fantastic," and citing weight advantage the Caddy has over the competition. There was also praise heaped on the car's engines, with the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder getting nods of approval from the MT team. The team also raved about the VSport model and its twin-turbocharged V6, magnetic shocks and other performance accoutrements.
Cadillac Elmiraj Concept brings big coupe style to Pebble Beach [w/videos]
Thu, 15 Aug 2013Two years ago, Cadillac absolutely floored us with the debut of its gorgeous Ciel concept at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. And since that droptop four-door's debut, we've seen plenty of its design language worked into the latest Cadillac products. Now, we're seriously hoping that history will repeat itself with this stunning new Elmiraj coupe concept, which makes its first public appearance in Monterey this week.
Cadillac states that the Elmiraj concept simply showcases the next step forward for the brand's Art & Science design DNA, and doesn't necessarily preview an upcoming model. But if you told us the Elmiraj was a conceptual look at the next-generation CTS Coupe, or a smaller, two-door version of a new flagship, we'd believe you. At 207 inches long, 76 inches wide and 55 inches tall, its dimensions are only slightly larger than the current two-door CTS.
Regardless of what the Elmiraj does or does not become, it's certainly a fantastic modern interpretation of the classic GT formula with its short front overhang, long hood, rakish roofline and petite rear deck. The strong character lines running along the sides and exaggerated 22-inch wheels round out the beautiful coupe, and Cadillac's signature vertical LED lighting elements are found at the front and rear. Also take note: the badge on the grille is a crest without a wreath, basically confirming our earlier report.
