This auction is for a 1966 Cadillac Deville Convertible. Prior owner owned the car for the past 23 years. Just came out of 9 year storage. It has the 429 V-8, Automatic Trans, PS, PB, Power Seat, Power Top, AC (compressor missing), Power Windows, Factory AM/FM Radio and Deluxe Leather Interior. There is a split on the drivers side seat bottom. Otherwise the interior is in very nice shape. Door panels, dash pad and rear seat are very nice. All glass is good. Everything on the car works except for the clock. Car has a lot of plastics on the interior and there are no broken plastics. Carpets should be shampooed. The convertible top does have a tear on the back drivers side and a couple of small spots drivers side upfront. This was due to a tree limb falling. I did put some tape to hold it together.Also there is a dent on the trunk lid caused by the same limb.It looks worse then it is . A unispotter (stud gun)) can be used to pull the dent and then repair it. The body on the car is in above average condition. Very solid and straight. There is some minor bubbling on the passenger side down low in a few spots and one spot in front of the skirt area on the drivers side. Very easy repair. Nice and clean body area when skirts are removed. The underside is original and solid, frame is good and solid also. Trunk pan looks good but I did remove the carpet material as it was soiled. Both front and rear bumpers are in good shape. There is some minor surface rust on the drivers side front bumper pod from peeling chrome. As far as the mechanicals I cleaned the points, replaced the plug wires, did an oil change and the car fired right up. The motor runs great but it does have a noisey water pump which will need replacing and what seems to sound like a couple of lifters that are not pumping up to full potential. When you start it cold you hear nothing but as it warms up those couple of lifters seem to sound off. Its kind of tough to describe but thats what I believe it is. Car drives down the road fine but didnt want to go too far because of the water pump. Car has a fairly new set of radial tires. Exhaust is in great shape, all the brakes are good. With a little TLC over the winter this can be ready for the upcoming spring. A good sound investment piece for short money. We have a Maine registration and proper dealer paperwork for a smooth transaction. We have the car listed locally so we reserve the right to end the auction early. If car meets the reserve we will let the auction run to the end to be fair to all bidders.

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic

Mon, Oct 24 2016

Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Despite De Nysschen saying it won't, Cadillac cuts struggling CTS prices

Wed, Jan 7 2015

Ah, well that didn't last long. Not even two years after elevating the price of the then-new third-generation Cadillac CTS by $7,000, the company is now stepping back, telling dealers it will be slashing the price of the 2015 model by anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000. It seems that there are two reasons behind Cadillac's move. First, and most obviously, are its slumping sales, down seven percent last year. That figure is made worse, Automotive News reports, by the seven-percent gain made by the greater luxury market, not to mention gains from fellow American luxury brand Lincoln. Cadillac, meanwhile, also likely faced pressure from its dealer body, which AN reports hasn't been so keen on the price increases. The price reduction is something of a surprise following statements made by Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen shortly after he took office. In September of last year, the 54-year-old exec, who took charge of Cadillac in July of 2014, defended the company's decision to raise prices, telling Automotive News a price cut was "not going to happen." It seems current conditions contradict de Nysschen's statements, though. "We're taking what we've seen are the more desirable optional features for customers and making them more readily available," Cadillac's Dave Caldwell said of the price cut. "Once a car has been on the market for a while, it's not unusual to look at the customer behavior and try to optimize for it." In what's sure to be a pleasant surprise for anyone in the market for a CTS, the most expensive models are getting the biggest price cut, with the price on the Premium and Performance Collection sedans dropping $3,000, AN reports. The 2.0T will get a $2,000 drop, while certain optional extras will now be standard on the Luxury trim, including a panoramic sunroof, navigation and Bose stereo.

Cadillac prices 410-hp XTS Vsport from $63,020*

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

Cadillac has officially released pricing for the 2014 XTS Vsport. Buyers can expect to pay $63,020 for the fleet four-door, including destination and handling fees. That kind of coin will snag you a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 good for 410 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. As you likely already know, engineers have done a lot more than simply bolt a pair of turbos onto the company's tried and true naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6. The engine uses an all-new block, strengthened connecting rods and domed aluminum pistons and is fed through a revised direct-injection fuel system. Combined, the tweaks allow the V6 to suck down 12 psi of boost.
The price tag puts the 2014 Cadillac XTS Vsport well under potential (if ambitious) competitors like the Audi S6 at $71,900, plus destination fees. A base BMW 550i will set you back $62,700, excluding destination charges, but throwing options at the German sedan will quickly see that number climb higher. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
