1970 Cadillac Coupe Deville All Original on 2040-cars
Pittsburg, Texas, United States
|
A friend of ours bought this several months ago intending to restore it but his wife said he had too many projects and wanted "that ugly thing out of their yard" so we brought it to our lot to sell for him. The previous owner was a little old lade who purchased the car in 1973 and only drove it to church on Sundays; well maybe a little more than church but not much. Sometime around 1988, the owner was no longer able to drive and the car was parked under a carport until our friend bought from her heir this year. It only shows 9,603 miles (no there is not a digit missing) because, according to the heir, the car was driven very little until it was parked and she doubted that it was ever driven out of Longview. Although he intended to eventually get around to getting the car restored, nobody has attempted to start the car because it still has 26 year old gas in it. A jump box was hooked to the battery, not to start but only to determine that the lights, power windows, wipers, radio etc. all still work. Despite the fact that the vehicle was stored outside, we could not find any rat nests or chewed wiring anywhere inside or out- we didn't even see any wasp nests. Neither the seats nor the top were not kept conditioned but the seats show only minor age related cracking (not even as much as the seats on my 2006 Acura). Unfortunately the Landau top did not fare as well and has major exposure damage and would need to be completely redone. The carpet has no visible wear and the headliner (board?) is in good condition but looks like the glue is finally giving up the ghost and coming down above the rear passenger side. The weather seals around the doors are also old & crumbling. The pointed lenses in the front do work and are intact but each side has a crack in the lens, none of the other lights appear to have any cracks. The passenger side front fender has a few places where the paint has flaked off and minor dent right behind them- almost like it was rubbed against a post the drivers side also has one similar place. The fender flares and hubcaps are in good condition and are being stored in the trunk to keep them from sprouting legs. The car is located at 506 S. Greer Blvd in Pittsburg TX and you are welcome to come check it out. Please feel free to email or call if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them. Our phone numbers are (office) 903.856.1711 or (cell) 903-237-8215. |

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
GM recalling 117,000 sedans, crossovers, SUVs, pickups and vans
Thu, 02 Oct 2014General Motors has issued a stop-sale to dealers and has notified the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration of its intention to recall 117,000 vehicles in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Of those vehicles, only 4,500 are at dealerships.
The affected vehicles include the Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Impala sedans, fullsize SUVs (Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Tahoe and Suburban and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL), Lambda-platform crossovers (Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia), heavy-duty pickups (Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD) and fullsize vans (Chevy Express and GMC Savana). The sedans and body-on-frame SUVs include model years 2013 and 2014, while the CUVs, heavy-duty pickups and vans are limited to MY2014.
GM confirmed the recall to Autoblog via an emailed statement (which we've included below). According to the statement, the issue at hand in what is the company's 69th recall of 2014 covers the chassis-control module. Automotive News is reporting that a problem in the chassis-control system could cause a short in the module, which could cause the engine to stall or fail to start. The fault could also affect the trailer-brake control, provided it's equipped.
Cadillac developing stretched ATS-L just for China
Sat, 25 Jan 2014To luxury automakers, long-wheelbase sedans are to China that crossovers and SUVs are to the US, so it isn't all that surprising any more when the latest sedan gets an extra couple of inches between the wheels to improve rear-seat comfort. According to Car News China, the next sedan to get the stretch will be the Cadillac ATS, which will increase the wheelbase by 10 centimeters (about four inches) to become the ATS-L.
Designed to go up against rivals like the BMW 335Li and the added-length Mercedes C-Class, the ATS-L will reportedly be built locally in China with an engine list that will grow as well. Currently, only the 2.0-liter turbo engine is offered in the ATS in China, but the ATS-L will get the full spectrum of ATS engines including the base 2.5-liter and the peppier 3.6-liter V6. This isn't the first time Cadillac has offered a China-specific stretched sedan either as the SLS dates back to 2006.
