This is a NO RESERVE listing.

This is my 1973 Cadillac Sedan DeVille with only 65,291 original miles.

This car was purchased new at Clairmont Cadillac Corporation in Montclair, NJ on August 31, 1973 by Mr. Jack C. Tancrel, aged 55.  Soon after, Mr. Tancrel retired to Florida and took the car with him.  He kept the car garaged and perfectly maintained for the rest of his life.  The original purchase price in 1973 was $6495.00 and I have all of the original dealer sales paperwork, warranty papers and even letters written back and forth to Cadillac for warranty work.  I also have a stack of service records, paperwork and receipts dating back to new plus the original books and manuals. The list of paperwork and documentation is extensive; it documents the car from brand new. 

In 2007 the car was sold by his surviving spouse to their next-door neighbors in Florida.  These folks are retired and keep a collection of classic American cars.  They spend their winters in Florida and their summers here in Northeast Ohio.  The car has not been exposed road salt or snow; it has either spent its winters in Florida or in a dry garage up north.  

This Cadillac has been outstandingly well-preserved.  For a 40-year old car, it looks, runs and drives superbly well. This car has ALWAYS been perfectly maintained and well cared-for.  

Rarely will you find a 40-year old car like this with a fully documented history since new.  This car has the original sales paperwork from new, and a huge stack of service records that are as recent as last year. The service records and maintenance history are beyond compare.  

The car was repainted once in 1985 and a superb job was done.  This paint job looks excellent- the finish carries an excellent gloss and the car looks beautiful.  There is no exterior body panel rust- this car is about 98% rust-free.  It is completely solid in every way, including underneath.  This is a superbly well-preserved car in gorgeous clean condition.

The interior of the car is original, and it is in excellent condition.  The seat upholstery, carpets and dash are clean and in very good condition.  The interior has held up exceptionally well over 40 years.

This car runs and drives outstandingly well.  The engine starts and runs smoothly and it makes excellent power.  The engine does not smoke or hesitate, nor does it show any undue fluid leaks. This is a quiet, comfortable and smooth vehicle.  The brakes are powerful and stop well.  The suspension is comfortable and tight, with no clunks.  The steering is smooth and precise.  This car drives and rides exceptionally well.   

This car has no known mechanical or electrical problems and it is ready to drive anywhere.  I would not hesitate to drive this car across the country. 

They don't make cars like this anymore- big, heavy, body-on-frame, high-quality RWD American cars are part of our history. 

This car has the following equipment and options:
  • 472 cid 7.7L V8 engine
  • automatic transmission
  • auto climate control with A/C (blows cold)
  • power locks and windows
  • power seat
  • power steering and brakes
  • original AM/FM radio
  • rear air shocks with on-board compressor
This car is a 1973 and as such it is not brand new. Please expect normal issues of wear and tear consistent with the age of the car. Here is a list of all known defects: The plastic front bumper fillers below the headlights are missing. There is some wear and rips in the carpet in the driver's footwell. There are a few small dings, plus other small nicks and defects in the paint and body. There are a few tiny bubbles in the paint, maybe a few below the window trim and inside the door jambs, etc. There is a nick at the front edge of the right rear door. The door trim on the right front door is slightly bent at the edge. The rubber bumper guards are somewhat shrunken, uneven and cracked. 

You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home. Alternatively you can have this car shipped- please call Angels Moving Autos at 530-245-0481 for a shipping quote.

Cadillac to recall 20,000 SRX models over wheels that could fall off

Thu, 23 May 2013

A potential issue with the lug nuts on 19,871 units of the 2013 Cadillac SRX in the US and Canada has lead to a recall of the luxury crossover. Those lug nuts that have a Teflon topcoat, identified by their bluish tint, could loosen and cause "creaking, rattling or grinding noises or steering vibrations." In the worst case scenario, a wheel could fall off, but there have been no reports of that happening, nor any reports of accidents or injuries due to the issue.
This is the second recall action on the SRX over the last few months. In March, Cadillac recalled 27,000 SRX models over a transmission programming issue. General Motors will begin notifying customers with the potentially faulty parts on June 3, at which time they can take their vehicles to dealers to have the tires rotated and new nuts installed. A further 7,397 SRXs exported from North America also face the recall action.

Corvette's Performance Data Recorder headed to other cars, will Cadillac ATS-V be first?

Fri, 14 Nov 2014

For 2015, the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray gained a novel piece of high-performance technology: The Performance Data Recorder. This trick system combines video from a front-mounted camera with in-car data and GPS information to help drivers record and study their lap times, complete with data overlays. While it's a clever tool for track days, it's also finding popularity as a built-in dash cam of sorts. To this point, the technology has been a Corvette exclusive, but General Motors' executive vice president of global product development, Mark Reuss, has confirmed to Autoblog that it will soon be available in other vehicles.
At a media luncheon on Thursday, we asked whether GM was keen to expand usage of the technology to other models, and if we could expect to see something soon. Reuss coyly replied, "What's soon?" When we suggested the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V (which is scheduled to debut at next week's LA Auto Show), he replied, "There will be other uses, and it won't be that far away. How's that?"
Certainly not an outright confirmation, but we wouldn't be at all surprised to see the next high-po Cadillac roll under the klieg lights at the Los Angeles Convention Center next Wednesday brandishing more than just 450 horsepower.
