 Hello and Thank You for viewing my auction.  Up for bids is a 1969 Convertible Cadillac.  I purchased this vehicle to restore and when it arrived it was completely misrepresented and I am listing it here as a parts car.   I do however have a title(1 owner).  He filled in my information under the buyer section so if anyone is planning on fixing this car and would like a title there will be a $100.00 additional fee added to tthe highest bid so I can go and pay the taxes and get a title in my name that I could then transfer to you.   Here is some interesting history on the vehicle.  It was purchased new in Michigan and kept in the same family it's entire life.  I have the original "cancelled" title for this vehicle and the current "2007" title for this vehicle.   In 2007 the parents sold the vehicle to their son.   This was a beautiful vehicle...a long time ago!  A rare yellow with white top and white interior and a fully loaded car.   I have the original bill of sale and a bunch of other paperwork for the vehicle that is yours if you want it as well.  Now lets get to the vehicle...   The interior is completely stripped  other than a few wire harnesses and the steering column and some other behind the dash components.   The floor pan was actually in decent condition with exception of underneath the rear seat where the water would puddle from the convertible top leaks.  The front windshield still looks good.  The convertible top frame was working perfectly until this morning when someone came over and purchased the convertible top pump.  The header panel of the frame has some rust.  These frames are worth a fortune especially a complete one like this(only missing the pump).  People shorten,lengthen,widen and customize the frames to use on their custom chop top cars.  Other than the hood and the trunk which are decent...the rest of the body is bad.  Doors and rocker panels and lower front fenders(near doors) are actually not too bad.  The rear quarters are bad.  The frame is junk...has some spots rotting out.   The car still starts and moves and stops and steers(complimentary pair of vice grips for a steering wheel).   I did not want to sell off any of the drivetrain parts because I wanted to keep it running because this is the real value in this vehicle for someone looking for a hotrod,ratrod or custom drivetrain with power!   Under the hood the items that are missing are the wiper motor assembly the horns,cruise control,air cleaner assembly,valve cover breather,coolant overflow bottle.  Underneath the car the only thing gone is the fuel tank.  There are no keys and I have it starting on the steering column or with 2 wires from starter.  There is a small gas can to get it running to get it on a truck or trailer.  The front seat is the spare tire and another tire for the backrest.  The car only had 97,000 original miles and the engine sounds very healthy and was really taken care of.    This pretty much sums it all up.  You get a complete running 472 motor with transmission and rear end and all the brakes and hardware and all the suspension and so forth.  You get a convertible top frame you can sell.  A windshield you can sell.  You get a few other parts you can take off to sell and when your done you can scrap the big heavy beast for a bunch of money!   If you are planning on restoring it...hopefully you have a complete 69 or 70 2 door hard top sitting around that you could build a convertible out of...and you will also need a lot of money and a lot of patience!  If you are looking to have an excuse to get out of the house to get away from your wife....this is the project for you.   If you are looking to get divorced....this project may do this as well:)    If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask.   One question I get all the time is "will this car make it to my house in wherever?"...well we know the answer to that one with this car.....  :)  I guess it could be possible and you would probably become famous or in jail for a long time....  It would be all daylight driving...an umbrella...many gas cans...a lot of bungee cords and duct tape and ???   I will consider BUY IT NOW prices too.  Happy Bidding!!

Tue, 20 May 2014

General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:

2013 Cadillac ATS Premium 2.0T 6MT

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The new Cadillac ATS is an impressive sport sedan, often considered one of the most serious threats to the BMW 3 Series. Unlike GM's previous attempts, this four door brings aggressive styling, commendable chassis dynamics and class-leading handling to the highly competitive battle. And, like its daunting German foe, Cadillac offer several powertrain choices.
I recently spent time with the ATS 2.0T Premium on my home California turf. Fitted with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox with a limited-slip rear differential, my tester was lightly optioned, with only a paint upgrade and a cold weather package. That brought the as-tested price to $46,305, configured the way I imagine most enthusiasts would prefer. This meant I fully expected to enjoy a week with a tossable sport sedan that boasted "fun-to-drive" as its middle name, but all was not well...

Cadillac to augment dealers with 700 'boutique' stores

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Johan de Nysschen is on a mission to revitalize Cadillac. Since taking over as chief executive of the American luxury brand, the former Audi and Infiniti exec has set about moving the brand's headquarters to New York, switched advertising firms, launched a completely new naming scheme for its model line, and has a whole raft of new products planned. And now he's working on changing how its dealer network operates. Speaking at both the Washington Auto Show and the NADA dealers' convention in San Francisco this week, de Nysschen has outlined a new plan for its US dealers. The network presently consists of over 900 stores – some 200 of which are stand-alone Cadillac dealers, with the remaining 700 attached to other GM brand showrooms. Contrary to earlier fears, de Nysschen notes that the dealer network is larger and covers more territory than those of import brands, and has no intention of cutting that number down. But he is asking those 700 mixed-brand dealers to create a new showroom experience for Cadillac customers. In this latest announcement, Cadillac refers to a new model of "boutique" showrooms that will encompass new technologies, higher-trained staff and luxury amenities to give those attached Cadillac showrooms a more unique feel. The plan includes installing "virtual showroom" systems that will allow potential customers to configure a new car using interactive displays and "potentially even holograms." The plan also calls for "new standards for compensation... with more precise alignment of local sales and potential for each dealer" in order to make sure that the requisite investment in the infrastructure and staff training are worthwhile for the dealers. Just what form these new systems will take, we don't know at this point. Nor are we sure why Cadillac isn't including its 200 stand-alone "flagship" dealers in the initiative. But we're sure we'll be finding out more about de Nysschen's plans on the dealer front in due course. Cadillac Discusses U.S. Dealer Network Development 2015-01-22 WASHINGTON, D.C. – As part of Cadillac's overall mission to expand and elevate within the premium automotive sector, the brand today outlined its strategy to upgrade its U.S. dealer network. Speaking at both the Washington, D.C. Auto Show today, and this weekend's annual National Auto Dealers Association convention in San Francisco, Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen will outline how the brand will target enhancements in the customer experience.
