Kernersville, North Carolina, United States

Serious buyers only! 

This baby is ready for a make-over!  Put a late model or brand new Cadillac engine, bag the suspension, update the paint, and this baby is ready to stop everyone in their tracks.  Get the thumbs-up, waves, and smiles that I get when I drive it around town. 

 This 1962 Cadillac has tail fins that impress everyone.  Purchased from Ted Vernon at South Beach Classics, this Cadillac made its way from South Beach to Boston before landing in North Carolina.  It can be seen in the following website with Dayton Wheels.

After a few of the spokes rusted through and the tires dry rotted, some replacement rims and tires were mounted and are currently on the Cadillac.  The engine is a  Chevrolet engine with transmission.  The engine is beginning to burn oil so, I'm not sure of the longevity or stability of the engine. 

This baby is ready for a rebuild.

  • Working power seats and windows. 
  • Leather seats. 
  • Chevrolet engine and transmission.  Chevy engine is starting to burn oil, but runs well. 
  • Headlights, horn, fuel gauge work.
  • The paint is cracked and peeling in several places. 
  • A couple of pieces of chrome are missing or damaged and can be seen in the pictures on Flickr.
  • Has speedometer, temperature gauge, A/C, AM radio, wipers / wiper motor, heat, clock and odometer but I'm not sure they work. Paint is not original.  

The title is clear and matches the VIN.

There is a video on Flickr showing it driving down the road.

Good luck and happy bidding!

Shatner's Rivet motorcycle to enter limited production with CTS-V engine [w/video]

Sat, Apr 11 2015

William Shatner has entertained the world for decades, from playing Captain Kirk on Star Trek to covering songs like Rocket Man and Common People. Now in his 80s, Billy Shatz has embarked on one of his weirdest projects yet: helping to design the wild Rivet One trike with motorcycle fabrication company American Wrench. Now, you can order one too with power as crazy as the three-wheeler's design. We last saw the Rivet One's aluminum body with the styling like a menacing, art-deco easy chair a few months ago, but now Shatner has started talking about the trike's powerplant, which is based around the heart of a Cadillac CTS-V. "It's a beast with advanced guts. It's powered by an all-aluminum, computer-controlled, supercharged and intercooled V8 engine – producing over 500 HP," Shatner said to Gizmag. Keep an eye out because Shatner intends to captain the Rivet One from Chicago to Los Angeles later this year. Also, if you want a ride like Captain James T. Kirk, the company is taking requests for the trike, made on a build-to-order basis after completing Shatner's job, according to Gizmag. Prices aren't announced yet but expect the number to be as out of this world as a voyage of the Enterprise. The video below provides a further look at the Rivet One's unconventional design.

Cadillac ATS Coupe headed for Detroit reveal

Mon, 25 Nov 2013

Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without its two-door models. But the XLR has been discontinued for over four years now, the Elmiraj concept may never see production and the future of the CTS Coupe is still up in the air. That leaves just the ELR, which may not be conventional enough for traditional Cadillac coupe buyers. Fortunately a new coupe is coming along to fill the void.
According to Edmunds, Cadillac will reveal the new ATS coupe just a couple of months from now at the Detroit Auto Show. Expected to mechanically mirror the existing ATS sedan, the new coupe will also more conventionally resemble its four-door counterpart than the CTS, whose coupe version was distinguished by a rakishly sloping roofline.
Expect the same choice of engines to carry over, with a 2.5-liter four serving as the base engine, and both a 2.0-liter turbo four and a 3.6-liter V6 offering more power for those looking for that extra bit of oomph. Following the Detroit reveal, sources anticipate the ATS coupe to go on sale next summer.

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
