Here is very nice 1975 Cadillac Coupe Deville. This car is in great shape, with low miles. I want to start off by saying that if anyone has any questions, or would like to come see the car, please contact me via ebay, or by telephone. I would like anyone who is interested in this car to feel confident if they decide to purchase it. This is an excellent example of a classic Caddy. This car also has many new parts, and some interesting extras included with it, which we will get into in a bit. Ok, with all that being said, lets get into the specifics about this great car.
- First, if you need more pictures, please go to Flickr.com, and go to caprala23's photo page. I got about 100 more pictures of the car on there, Ebay won't allow the link...
- 3 owner car, 66,000 original miles.
- No accidents, no smoking.
- Car is rot free, underside is immaculate. Interior is in excellent condition.
- BODY: The body is in great shape front to back. The car has seen a re-paint once, about 8 years ago. The paint job is decent, not show quality, but very presentable. There are a couple tiny chips here and there, but its only in the top coat. There is a very small, nickel-sized rust spot from paint peeling above a piece of the rocker trim. That's the only rust on the whole car. All the chrome is shiney, and in great shape, Bumpers, trim, all very nice. This Caddy has the Cabriolet package, which includes a vinyl half-top with special trim, and a see-through chrome hood ornament. Vinyl roof was re-done same time as paint. Floors, roof, trunk floor, frame, doors, and hood are solid as a rock.
- INTERIOR: The interior is above-average, and fantastic. It's tan, and features the very 70's Maharajah fabric pattern. You don't see this kind of pattern on anything anymore, especially cars. Everything is all original, and in great shape. The headliner, steering wheel, rear dash, and seats are perfect. The carpet is a little sun faded in some areas, due to age, and there is a tiny crack in the side of the dashboard. Everything else is near perfect.
- UNDERHOOD: Under the hood is the original 8.2L 500 c.i.d. engine. Runs great, and starts 1st time every time. Everything is still intact. The engine bay has been cleaned, and detailed. Air Conditioning is still intact, but not working. Convert it to R134A, and you'll be good to go.
- OPTIONS: This Cadillac is equipped with many power options, as a Caddy should be. Options include; Power windows, locks, seats and antenna. Also has cruise control, air conditioning, automatic headlights, tilt and telescoping steering column, 3-speed windsheild wipers, and power trunk pull-down.
- EXTRAS: Car comes with some great extras. Included is a COMPLETE REAR BODY FILLER KIT. This includes taillight surroundings, and rubber fillers for both sides. I would like to note that- these are not re-production pieces, they are original GM parts, and anyone who knows about Caddys, knows that these are like $400 for a re-production kit, and that originals are impossible to find. Ones on the car are perfect now, these are to have for spare, or use on your other Deville you got sitting around! ALSO INCLUDED, is all the original Maintenance Schedule, Consumer Information, Owners Manual, and heres the best part, included is a 24-page full-color Cadillac Options and Availability brochure for 1975. This is a very rare piece of literature to have. Would look great in the rear dash at a car show. This booklet includes; Color choices, Interior patterns, Model Availability, Specs, and just about anything you would have needed to know before you purchased your brand new 1975 Cadillac!
- NEW PARTS/WORK: Recent work includes; Complete engine tune-up; plugs, wires, dist.cap, and rotor, and Lucas oil change. Carb clean and adjust, along with a new fuel filter, New valve cover gaskets, Transmission filter, fluid, pan gasket, and tailshaft seal. New heater blower motor, New LH side exhaust manifold, and new manifold gaskets on both sides. All vacuum hoses have been replaced, new master cylinder, new belts, and all underhood wires have been cleaned, and tested. New front brake calipers, and new fuel hoses that go from sending unit to fuel lines. All ground connections have also been checked and cleaned.
- NEEDS: OK, 1st, let me just say, this car doesn't ''need'' anything to make it a great, running and driving dependable classic car. These are just some things that would make it better. Springs and shocks all around. The car doesn't bounce around or anything, but the springs are original, so its probably time to replace them, and why not do the shocks while your at it? As i mentioned before, the A/C needs some attention, basically just a retro-fit.
- NOT WORKING: The things not working are very minimal. There are a few light bulbs out in the speedo cluster in the dash. The power antenna works when it wants to, and the power trunk pull-down works, but not properly. Maybe someone with more knowledge of these can make it work right? The radio works, but there are a few speakers out.
- MY AUCTIONS RULES/GUIDELINES/PAYMENT: PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT PLAN ON PURCHASING AND FOLLOWING THROUGH. BID TO OWN. Contact me with any questions you have before bidding. A $500 non-refundable deposit will be made by winning bidder within 48 hours of auctions end via PAYPAL. The remaining balance will be paid within 10 DAYS, and in CASH. NO CHECKS, NO MONEY ORDERS, OR ANY OTHER FORMS OF PAYMENT. If you insist on paying full amount with paypal, then YOU will be responsible for paying the paypal fees that will occur, NOT ME. If you need to have the car shipped, I will assist in any way I can to make it a easy, smooth transaction.

General Motors Recall List
Wed, Oct 22 2014It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.
2016 Hennessey CTS-V is properly ridiculous with 1,000 horsepower
Thu, Apr 9 2015We truly live in a halcyon era of automotive performance with models like the latest Shelby GT350 Mustang and 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat. And now Hennessey Performance Engineering is bringing something with absolutely obscene power to the world with its tuned 2016 Cadillac CTS-V that packs a ludicrous 1,000 horsepower. The latest CTS-V isn't even on sale yet but should be a powerhouse straight from the factory. Under its carbon fiber hood is a 6.2-liter supercharged LT4 V8 with 640 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque that makes the sedan capable of a 200-mile-per-hour top speed. Hennessey's take ditches the blower in favor of two turbos to feed air to the engine. To cope with the extra power, the mill gets upgrades like forged aluminum pistons and forged steel parts for the rods and crankshaft, and transmission upgrades are also necessary to make it all work. Buyers can even spec things like carbon-ceramic brakes and a widebody kit to allow for bigger tires. The crazy numbers are leading to some big performance claims from company founder John Hennessey. "I believe that our 2016 Twin Turbo CTS-V will have a top speed approaching 240 mph," he said in the Caddy's announcement. Hennessey is building just 24 of these 1,000-horsepower sedans for the 2016 model year. However, for those that want to keep the supercharger under the hood, the company is also offering upgrades with 750 hp and 800 hp for the CTS-V too. All of them sound absolutely ridiculous in an utterly fantastic way. 2016 HPE1000 Twin Turbo Cadillac CTS-V Texas Tuner Plans to Build World's Fastest 4-Door Sedan Sealy, Texas-When the next generation Cadillac CTS-V hits the streets later this year, it will have 640+ hp and a top speed of nearly 200 mph. To the team at Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE), this is a good starting point. The company plans to pick-up where they left off with the last gen CTS-V by producing the world's fastest 4-door sedan: The Hennessey HPE1000 Twin Turbo CTS-V. "A couple of years ago, the State of Texas gave us the opportunity to test one of our specially tuned CTS-Vs – our VR1200 Twin Turbo coupe. It ran 221 mph (356 km/h) on State Highway 130, near the Circuit of the Americas", said company founder, John Hennessey. "It was still pulling on when we ran out of road. I believe that our 2016 Twin Turbo CTS-V will have a top speed approaching 240 mph (386 km/h)". Hennessey plans to offer a limited run of only 24 units for the 2016 model year.
Cadillac XT5 caught uncovered during photo shoot
Fri, Jun 26 2015It's only been a few weeks since Cadillac announced that its replacement for the SRX, the new XT5, is on its way. Now, we have images of it out in the open and completely free of camouflage. Obtained by a reader at Jalopnik's Opposite Lock forum, the Caddy was spotted during what user Saw930 believes was a photo shoot in New York's trendy SoHo neighborhood. There's only a pair of images, from the front and rear three-quarters, but it's enough to give us a very thorough overview of the exterior styling on the new CUV. In short, the design language that has been seen on Escalade, CTS, and upcoming CT6 has indeed made its way to the SRX replacement. The broad, egg-crate grille is perhaps the cleanest iteration of Caddy's latest styling, while the CT6-inspired headlights look sharp, as well. Expect a similar headlight pattern to the CTS, with strong LED character accents on the outside of the headlights that integrate seamlessly with the lower DRLs. In back, the taillights curve over the rear haunches and blend into an extremely strong shoulder line. It's a dynamic and aggressive piece of design that we'll need to see in person before signing off on. The rear bumper, meanwhile, is a nicely styled piece, complete with twin, integrated, rectangular tailpipes that flank a piece of (probably faux) skid plating. There's a similar off-road treatment in the front bumper, as well. While we wait for scour for more news on the XT5, have a look at the two images Saw930 captured and posted at Oppo and let us know what you think in Comments.
