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.

Questions, please email or call/text John at 440-339-4341.

2016 Cadillac ATS-V First Drive [w/video]

Sun, Apr 26 2015

If you get hot and bothered for hot-rodded sedans and coupes, you probably know that Germans have long dominated that cutthroat scene. For years, the Audi RS/BMW M/Mercedes-AMG triumvirate has ruled the microcosm of grunty, mid-level luxury cars. But a funny thing happened when Cadillac's first V car hit the market in 2004. Since the CTS-V crashed the high horsepower party, German tuning houses started thinking less about the "Daddy's Caddy" stereotypes and more about the next imminent threat – in this case, the inevitable high-horsepower spinoff of the smaller, nimbler Cadillac ATS. The standard ATS' defense against the German triad hasn't been triumphant so far (GM's Michigan plant was idled for three weeks in 2014 due to excess inventory), but the souped-up 2016 Cadillac ATS-V presents a fresh bid to put the Teutonic competition on alert. The ATS-V's flared bodywork and quad exhaust pipes offer bits of visual shock and awe, but significant hardware upgrades back up the go-fast looks. Front and center is a twin-turbocharged, 3.6-liter V6 with reworked internals including a charge-air cooler, titanium connecting rods, and titanium-aluminide turbines. The new engine produces 464 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque, up a staggering 262 hp and 173 lb-ft compared to a base, four-cylinder ATS. Those output figures eclipse the BMW M3/M4 (425 hp, 406 lb-ft) and Audi RS5 (450 hp, 317 lb-ft), but lag slightly behind the V8-powered Mercedes-AMG C63 (476 hp, 479 lb-ft), and more so the C63 S (503 hp, 516 lb-ft). The chassis benefits from several structural braces, most notably a shear panel intended to boost front-end stiffness. Extra poundage from the add-ons are minimized through lighter-weight materials – in the case of the shear panel, stamped aluminum. Cadillac says though it intended to make the ATS the quickest car in its segment (stated 0-60 mph times between 3.8 and 3.9 second virtually match the BMW M4 and Mercedes-AMG C63 S' 3.9 figure), the development team says they also focused on subjective qualities like turn-in quickness and steering response. As such, toe links have been replaced with ball joints, mounts have been retuned, and reworked magnetic damping offer greater responsiveness. Six suspension bushings have been stiffened and ten have been completely redesigned, and the Performance Traction Management system that tames beasts like the Corvette Z06 and Camaro ZL1 also helps lay down power in the ATS-V.

7 major automakers to build open EV charging network

Wed, Jul 26 2023

A new joint venture established by BMW, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz and Stellantis will build a new North American electric vehicle charging network on a scale designed to compete with Tesla's industry-benchmark Supercharger network. The 30,000-plus planned new chargers will accommodate both Tesla's almost-standard North American Charging System (NACS) and existing automakers' Combined Charging System (CCS) options, effectively guaranteeing compatibility with the vast majority of current and upcoming electric models — whether they're from one of the involved automakers or not.  "With the generational investments in public charging being implemented on the Federal and State level, the joint venture will leverage public and private funds to accelerate the installation of high-powered charging for customers. The new charging stations will be accessible to all battery-powered electric vehicles from any automaker using Combined Charging System (CCS) or North American Charging Standard (NACS) and are expected to meet or exceed the spirit and requirements of the U.S. National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program." Critically, the automakers involved will have a say in how the charging tech is implemented, guaranteeing that the hardware will play nicely with each automaker's in-house charging systems. Hyundai and Kia, for example, were hesitant to jump on board the Tesla NACS bandwagon earlier this year over concerns that the Supercharger network is insufficient for powering the two automakers' 800-volt charging systems; similar tech is used by Volkswagen and Porsche.  In addition to providing much-needed capacity and high-output charging for America's growing fleet of electric cars and trucks, the new network will integrate seamlessly with each automaker's in-app and in-vehicle features, rather than forcing customers to use third-party tools and payment systems, as is the case with some existing public charging infrastructure.  "The functions and services of the network will allow for seamless integration with participating automakersÂ’ in-vehicle and in-app experiences, including reservations, intelligent route planning and navigation, payment applications, transparent energy management and more. In addition, the network will leverage Plug & Charge technology to further enhance the customer experience," the announcement said.

Ghostbusters trailer stars Ecto1 and a quartet of actresses

Thu, Mar 3 2016

"Um... you didn't disclose that the vehicle was going to be a hearse," says funnywoman Melissa McCarthy in the brand-spankin'-new trailer for the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot. Traditionalist fans may be similarly angered by the vehicle's basis, since the original Ecto1 was an ambulance, not a vehicle for the dead. Leslie Jones' response to McCarthy wasn't meant to answer those critics, but it does a good job of it anyway: "It's a Cadillac!" Naturally, there's a lot more to look at in the new trailer than just the Ecto1. There are, obviously, ghosts. Lots of 'em, in fact. There's also an opening piano sequence that's pretty darn great, but we ought to warn you that if you watch the video up above, you're going to be humming the theme from Ghostbusters for the rest of the day. We're sorry, but it simply cannot be avoided. You've been warned. Related Video:
