1961 Cadillac Convertible **** NO RESERVE **** Cars History: About 25 years ago the owner at the time parked the car in his garage because the water pump was leaking. He removed the water pump and bought a replacement that was wrong and never finished the job. The car sat there over the years until it was purchased by a neighbor and then shortly after by myself. Description: This "barn find" is a very restorable project car and in above average condition for its age in my opinion. The car will be sold on a bill of sale, if you are a US buyer I can help with the documentation for importation as I am familiar with the process. Body: The body has the usual rust and dents but I consider it decent. I have not had it on a hoist but the rear floor on the drivers side has been patched needs work, a replacement panel is about 70.00 on ebay. The car is blue from factory, it has been repainted and touched up. There is some rust in the rockers one fender skirt is missing the other has rust. Look at the pictures carefully and decide for yourself and feel free to call me for a description of any area you are particularly concerned with. Mechanical: I hooked a gas can to the fuel line and car started and ran. The transmission went into drive and reverse and the brakes held it while it was in gear. I was not able to run it long without a water pump or drive it, but the engine sounded good and the exhaust was not loud. The car has been parked for a long time and will need to be put through the normal process of fluid changes servicing that would be expected before a proper mechanical assessment can be made. Interior: The interior is blue leather and in poor condition. I removed the carpet as it was musty and stained, there are no splits in the dash, the drivers door window switches and power seat switch is missing other wise it appears to be complete and original. The leather will need to be completely redone. The top holds out the elements but the stitching is coming loose and will need to be replaced. Reason for selling: I have several cars and not enough time to complete all the projects I have taken on, as a result some are being sold. Location: The car is located near Salmon Arm British Columbia. I can help load the vehicle and in many cases I can help arrange shipping. If your looking for a shipping quote I will only do this for the winning bidder as it is very time consuming for me. The Seller: Although I have 0 feed back, this is a second Ebay account for me, my main account is Maracars with over 700 feed back and 100% positive rating. I've started a new account just for the cars I'm selling for book keeping reasons. Overall: These cars are rare and desirable, I know this one is a little rough and needs work but this is your chance to buy a Cadillac Convertible for less than you paid for your house and drive while you restore it. The car is 98% complete so you won't have to spend time and money on hard to get parts and I don't think it is far from being a drivable car. If you have less than 10 feedback call me before you bid or your bid may be canceled. SCAMMERS: I've heard it all before, don't waste your time or mine. This car is for sale locally as well so I reserve the right to cancell the auction. If you want to view the car in person or by agent, or if you have any questions give me a call at (250) 515-1110 or send me an email through Ebay. Thanks for looking. |

Cadillac welcomes back Entourage favorite Ari Gold
Mon, May 18 2015With publicity for the long-awaited Entourage movie ramping up, we're finding that one of the stars of the film happens to be the handsome Cadillac Ciel Concept convertible. It makes a number of appearances in the trailers with Vince, E, Turtle, and Johnny Drama cruising about, despite the fact that it isn't actually a production vehicle. We guess it pays to be Aquaman and Enzo Ferrari. Supporting its tie-in with the flim, Cadillac has enlisted Jeremy Piven, famed for his roll as outrageous, obnoxious, abrasive, and amusing talent agent Ari Gold, to star alongside its droptop sedan. The pair are the focus of a four-minute featurette welcoming the actor's character back while expounding on the series-ending cliffhanger that basically made the movie a sure thing. Take a look at the spot, which was directed and written by Entourage creator Doug Ellin. And be sure to check out the brotastic HBO series when it makes the jump to the big screen on June 3.
Cadillac ELR update delayed over autonomous drive systems issues
Fri, Nov 28 2014Rumors had been circulating that the 2016 Cadillac ELR would bow in Los Angeles recently, featuring, in Cadillac's own words, "engineering enhancements." The rumors and that quote are as far as it got – the updated ELR pulled a no-show in LA, and no one outside of the brand appears to know when it will appear. GM Inside News says its sources at Cadillac pinned the ELR's absence on some autonomous driving features not being ready to reveal. According to GMI, Cadillac insiders say the upgraded ELR will be a "highly autonomous vehicle," and the company needs more time to gets its systems polished. The site says "it's not unreasonable to assume that ELR will be [the] vehicle" that gets Cadillac's Super Cruise technology, but that seems a lot more involved than "engineering enhancements," and in September Cadillac said we'd see it sometime in the next two years. It's possible the wait for the 2016 ELR and its secrets might only be a couple of months: the next-generation Chevrolet Volt, which shares a platform with the ELR and whose engineering updates we know quite a bit about, is scheduled to appear at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show in January.
2018 Cadillac XTS does its best CT6 impression
Mon, Jun 19 2017Although the Cadillac sedan lineup almost exclusively consists of rear-drive sedans, one last bastion of the old front-drive Caddy exists in the XTS. And it looks like the old-school XTS isn't going anywhere, since it just got a refresh that makes it look more like the CT6 and the CTS. This of course is a bit ironic considering the fact that the CT6 will look different in the near future. Until then, though, this update does make the XTS look more up-to-date. The main part of the headlights end higher up on the front fascia, while a strip of LED accent lights waterfall down the front bumper. The grille has slightly more sculpted slats, and the front badge has been scaled down a bit. There are no longer creases that unify the main grille and the lower one in the bumper, which help the car appear lower and wider than the outgoing model. At the back, the license plate position has been moved down to the bumper, and the trunk lid has more lines and creases. The taillights now have horizontal elements that extend toward the middle of the car. The exhaust finishers and the reverse light also look larger and more prominent now. The refreshed XTS also brings a couple of new trim options. There are new wheel designs both in 19- and 20-inch sizes. Inside, XTS buyers will be able to choose from three new color and upholstery combinations. Two of them, however, are exclusive to the Platinum trim level and come with semi-aniline leather seats. There's not really anything new mechanically with the 2018 XTS. The only major change seems to be a new tire design that is quieter and provides a smoother ride. Otherwise, the XTS will remain available with either the standard 3.6-liter V6 making 304 horsepower, or the optional 410-horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 in the V-Sport model. The standard engine comes with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and the V-Sport is only available with all-wheel drive. Pricing has yet to be released for the 2018 model year.
