1967 Cadillac Coupe DeVille
This vehicle is driven periodically, registered and PA state inspected good until December 2013 (not antique tag). I have put a little over 1000 miles on it in the last year or so. When I purchased it, the transmission was slipping. I had the automatic transmission completely rebuilt by Werner Transmission in East Bangor, PA. Ralph Werner has over 30 years experience with automatic transmissions. He informed me that someone had replaced the valve body with an incorrect unit for this year. Werner converted this to a stock TH-400 and it shifts perfectly smooth and firm. I bought 4 new whitewall tires for the car which also have less than 1500 miles on them. The trunk lining was soaked from a leak somewhere in the rear so I removed the lining as it was all rotten. There were two holes in the pan which I have sealed with metal plates. The engine starts and runs fine when warm but the carburetor could use a rebuild. I disconnected the choke plate since the linkage was loose and it was in the way. I have the choke plate in a box which just screws back onto the choke shaft. In cold starts you just have to pump the carb a few times to get it to start. There is an exhaust noise which I believe is coming from the left (driver) side, possibly in the manifold area. The A/C compressor is not connected (belt removed) and may be seized. The heat/defrost blower works ok as well as the climate control. The radio lights up but there is no sound from it. The power windows work, although the driver's side window is a little slow. This car has passed PA State Safety inspection twice and is good to drive in PA until the end of this year. You can drive this as is and as you work on it. The paint is an older re-paint job that appears to have been oxidized while the car was left to sit outside by a previous owner. There are some bubbles in the usual places. The interior is mildewed in spots, and the front bench seat is ripped on the driver's side. I have kept the car in a dry garage and not driven it outdoors because of the leaks to the interior. They may just be sealing around the windows, I am not sure. The trim strips around the right side and rear that are seen missing in the photos I have kept on the side - some new plastic clips are needed to secure the trim pieces back in place.
Between the transmission rebuild, the new tires, and various ignition components (plugs/wires/cap/rotor) and belts, I have invested about $2000 into the vehicle, in addition to the original purchase price I paid for it. It runs and drives fine and can be uses as-is although I never drive it very far from home, it has never given me a problem on the road.
If interested, please contact me through eBay to arrange an inspection/test drive. If you wish to have the car trailered, you must make all the arrangements. I will not sign over, transfer or send title until all payments are cleared.
Thanks!

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
Cadillac CT6 ushers in new naming convention
Wed, 24 Sep 2014Johan de Nysschen has been at his new post as president of Cadillac for not even three months , but he's already seen two of his most notable accomplishments from his two-year tenure as president of Infiniti matched by Cadillac. The brand has announced that it is relocating its headquarters, and is now officially changing its nomenclature.
The brand's new flagship model will abandon the familiar three-letter designation enjoyed by every other model in the range (aside from the Escalade), and adopt an alpha-numeric title. So, rather than the expected title of LTS, Cadillac's top-end car will be called the CT6.
Of course, this won't be limited to just one model. According to Cadillac's press release, "familiar lettering like 'CT' would be used for car models, with the number indicating the relative size and position of the cars in the hierarchy of Cadillac models." And yes, that means what you think it means - Cadillac will use the exact same naming formula, albeit with different letters, as Infiniti.
Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 priced at $48,855, AWD at $50,855
Fri, Apr 8 2016Infiniti's most powerful production model, the new Q50 Red Sport 400, now has a starting price. You'll need at least $48,855 for the rear-drive model or $50,855 for all-wheel drive. (Both figures include the $905 destination charge.) A fully loaded, rear-drive Q50 RS400 with Direct Adaptive Steering, navigation, adaptive cruise control, a heated steering wheel, and Infiniti's entire alphabet soup of safety equipment, tops out at $57,045. (Again, add $2,000 for AWD). When it comes to rear-drive competition, the closest base price to the Q50 is the 320-hp BMW 340i. This German undercuts the Infiniti by two grand, $46,795 to $48,855. But the BMW outprices the Q50 as soon as you start selecting options. A 340i with similar equipment to a loaded Q50 Red Sport 400 costs just under $60,000. All-wheel-drive German competitors also lose out in the price war. Like with the rear-drive models, the BMW 340i xDrive undercuts the Q50 RS400 by around $2,000. Add the options, and the Infiniti becomes a better value. The other two big German rivals, the Audi S4 and Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG start at a higher price and only get more expensive. Technically the S4 starts cheaper than the Q50, but only with the standard manual transmission. Selecting the S-Tronic dual-clutch model kicks the price from $50,125 to $51,125, and going for the top-end Prestige trim will bump potential Audi owners up to $57,025. Throw on must-have S4 options, including adaptive cruise control, adaptive dampers, and a sport differential and you'll be shell out $64,425 for the Audi. The Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG is the priciest choice in this group, starting at $51,725, or roughly $900 more than a base Q50 RS400 with AWD. Options, again, are the downfall here. Building a C450 to match a loaded Infiniti will drive the Mercedes' price up to $64,315. While it occupies something of a weird space relative to these vehicles, it's also worth mentioning the Cadillac CTS VSport. It's the only car in this impromptu pricing comparo that can outgun the Q50, with its 3.6-liter, twin-turbo V6 good for 420 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. It also starts at $60,950, although that includes plenty of standard equipment. All this means that the Q50 Red Sport 400 represents a relative value. It packs more power than the Germans – 80 more than the 340i, 67 more than the S4, and 38 more than the C450 – and a more comprehensive list of options, too.
