Hello to all ebayers,..... ******ATTENTION!!!!******For an EXTENSIVE COLLECTION of CURRENT PICTURES ((132+/-))!!!!!, PLEASE CLICK on the link directly below this sentence****** http://my.tidewater.net/~kitti/CadillacConvertible
.....up for your consideration and/ or bid is yet another old classic out of my 30 year+ collection. This one being a 1968 Cadillac DeVille 472 Big Block Convertible!!! Like everything in my collection, the Cadillac is currently not a "turn-key-driver" and will need some work. I purchased the Cadillac 15 years ago in 1999 and it has been used little since,...it has spent most of the time in storage. For the Cadillac to be a "turn-key-&-go-driver",...it needs the following regards to the front of the Cadillac,...brake shoes need replacing ((both sides)) and 1 brake drum replaced (D/S/ it is missing completely). The rest of the shoes seem fine, but the other 3 drums will need to be turned down a little and cleaned up ((some surface rust that needs to be removed)) due to sitting all those years. The master cylinder needs to be filled with fluid and bled out, ((brake lines are good)), needs canvas convertible top, battery, lastly a tune up probably.....((good running, but last started 1+ year ago)), burns no oil, trans works great and clean transmission fluid. The engine turns over smoothly and rapidly when using a good battery with some high amperage,...a low amperage battery is just simply inadequate for an engine of this size and compression,...being a 472 Big Block. The sheet metal threw-out the Cadillac is pretty decent all and all,.....there are some rust issues "here and there" due to the age of the Cadillac being 46 years in the Northeast,......please LOOK at ALL the DETAILED PICTURES because "good", "bad" or "indifferent" varies widely according to the viewer. The convertible top bows and frame-work are all complete with NO RUST, NO BENDS and NO BREAKS. The convertible top motor along with the hydraulic arms and hydraulic lines are all original, in place, excellent condition and worked perfectly fine when last tried/ operated 5 years ago in 2009. The tires all-the-way-around are excellent and hold air fine with no problems,...the spare is the only exception and a little "tired",...but holds air for 3 hours (+/-). *****NOTE*****The Cadillac free-rolls 100% and NO brakes are seized,...therefore will load with ease. I've stated all that I know about the Cadillac as factual as possible. Due to the age and amount of sitting for years, this Cadillac does not come with any guarantees or warranties expressed or implied and is sold as is where is. For the winning bidder I offer FREE delivery BUT only if you are local and/or up to only 20 miles away. If you are 21-100 miles from the Cadillac I offer delivery for a fee of $1.00 per mile. I do not offer any delivery options over 100 miles and I certainly do not offer any long haul options from state to state either. Any winning bidder that is in the "over 100 mile category" it is up to you to make shipping arrangements and of course all transportation and shipping costs are the expense of you...(the winning high bidder). At my discretion, I may extend the free delivery from 21-100 miles if the Impala reaches a dollar amount I deem acceptable. Should you use your own trailer/equipment to pickup the Cadillac,...I offer FREE loading assistance to you with my Rollback and equipment,...or I'll assist the carrier of your choice (should you hire one),...also FREE of charge. PLEASE NOTE;...the state of Maine does not/ will not issue a title for ANY automobile/ vehicle of 1995 and prior. I do not have a title and the Cadillac comes with a bill-of-sale as ownership. ADDITIONAL NOTE;...some states will not accept a bill-of-sale as ownership of a vehicle,...please check with your individual state. FOR THOSE PERSPECTIVE BIDDERS THAT FIT INTO THIS LAST CATEGORY,...please let me know, as I can easily obtain a legal document from the state of Maine called (("Letter of Verification" @ 1 (207) 624-9000 extension 52149)) so that you can take this paperwork to YOUR state DMV you reside in and YOUR STATE will issue you a new title in your state. I've done this may of times before and to my knowledge this is the only perfectly legal way for bidders from title-demanding states to get a title for a vehicle from a non-title issuing state. I
believe the pictures speak for them self, and what doesn't I've
included in the description,........if you feel I have missed anything
or you have any questions what so ever, please feel free to send me an
email and I'll answer the question(s) asap. Upon the completion of the
auction I ask that the winning bidder to commit to the transaction with
payment in the form of a $200.00 deposit within 48 hours. I also ask
that the high bidder follow-up with full payment in 7 days, or contact me for additional time if needed. If
you have no intent of following threw with the complete payment of the
auction item, please just don't bid and waste everyone's time playing
games,...any non paying bidders will be reported to both ebay and all 3
major credit reporting agency's. ********KEEP WATCH,...a lot of interesting older ANTIQUE/CLASSIC AUTOS (1950-1985) coming in the next several weeks/months,...ALL of which will start with a modest starting price with NO HIDDEN RESERVE!!!******** .....thanks for looking, Bob.. |

Such Sweet Sorrow: Cadillac's CTS-V gets an Irish wake
Wed, Nov 26 2014As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. The honkin', stonkin' second-generation CTS-V, powered by Cadillac's brawny supercharged 6.2-liter V8 has been a very good thing. And now that the 500 final coupes – the only CTS-Vs designated 2015 models – have been built (just five remain unsold as of this writing), it is indeed a good thing that's come to an end. But Cadillac is not letting 2009–2015 CTS-V go gently into that good night, even as its replacement is poised to debut in just in just two months at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Instead, Cadillac invited us to Austin's Circuit of the Americas racetrack for what it called an "Irish wake" for the model that has proven to be one of the quickest and most charismatic models in General Motors' history. If you don't know what an Irish wake is, if you envision storytelling, songs, debauchery and more than a little liquor, you'll be in the ballpark. In this case, though, adrenaline substituted in for the booze, with squealing tires and shrieking V8s providing the singing. The debauchery took the form of an all-you-can-drive lapping of COTA in all three bodystyles – coupe, sedan and wagon – and the stories were told by the grins plastered on our faces all day. First and foremost, we'll miss the CTS-V's perfect balance of luxury and sportiness. Even after six years with no major changes, the CTS-V is surprisingly spry. Certainly, you never forget that it's a heavy thing, weighing in anywhere between 4217 pounds for the manual-equipped coupe to 4424 for an automatic wagon, but with 0-60 times of about four seconds and the ability to hit about 150 mph on COTA's back straight, the Vs remain an absolute hoot on the track. Sure, some of its details – the blocky front fascia shapes and the spoiler on the sedan and coupe models, for example – look a bit dated, but the overall design still looks sufficiently badass. The interior design has worn pretty well, too, and however Cadillac may feel about center stack buttons being so last decade, we favor them over the capacitive-touch madness of today's CUE system. We're not going to bother doing another full review of the car here, but suffice it to say, there is plenty we will miss. First and foremost, will be the CTS-V's perfect balance of luxury and sportiness. Rumor has it that Cadillac will offer the 6.2-liter LT4 V8 in the next generation (we predict about 600 hp), but we hear that the new car will skew more toward luxury than balls-out performance.
2016 Cadillac CT6 shows crisp sense of style in leaked images
Tue, Mar 31 2015You're looking at the 2016 Cadillac CT6, aided by the almost inevitable internet-aided leak, ahead of its debut at the New York Auto Show this week. As you can see, the overall shape is straight-edged and aggressive, and overall in keeping with what we've seen from Cadillac over the last several years. High-tech lighting clusters extend from the fender peaks all the way down in what appear to be LED strips toward the lower fascia and its rectangular fog lights. A suitably massive grille encrusted in chrome boasts one of the larger Wreath and Crest badges we've ever witnessed on a car. Under that sharply creased hood will sit a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine with 400 horsepower at its disposal, according to Cadillac, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. A naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6 will also be available, we're told. We may wish for an edgier range-topping sedan from Cadillac, but it's not really fair to draw any real conclusions from just one leaked image. In other words, stay tuned, 'cause the rest of the story won't be far behind.
C7 Corvette won't spawn new Cadillac XLR [w/video]
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Between the new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray and the even newer Cadillac Elmiraj Concept shown off at Pebble Beach, we were already expecting some sort of chatter of a Cadillac XLR redux. During an in-depth C7 Corvette discussion with Tadge Juechter, the car's chief engineer, Fox News asked if a Corvette-based, Bowling Green-built Cadillac will be built off the C7. Non-spoiler alert: the answer is no.
Juechter says that General Motors has "no intent" on transforming this car into a Cadillac product since the C7 has been optimized for the Corvette buyer, a consumer that's generally a different sort of person than a Cadillac intender who might also be cross-shopping a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class or BMW 6 Series.
While we're not ready to write off a future XLR altogether, we assume that the Corvette Cadillac experiment is most likely never going to happen again. The interview with Juechter is posted below, but the XLR discussion comes in at the 9:00 mark.
