I am listing my 1978 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. I am the 4th owner of this beautiful car. This car has been meticulously taken care of its entire life. It only has 70,000 miles all of which have been documented. The paint is the original seamist green paint. The dark green half vinyl top looks brand new. All electrical components (even the dash clock & antenna) work except for passenger side lock. The paint is in excelent condition however there are a few small paint chips from rocks. They are only visible upon very close inspection of the car. I only notice them when I hand wash the vehicle. There are also two small dents one on the hood and one on the trunk, again these are only noticeable when actually looking for them. The largest cosmetic flaw is the right quarter panel bumper filler is broken (see picture). I plan to fix this myself if the car does not sell. It is a very easy fix and nothing short of normal to have to fix on these older cars. The left bumper filler is in excelent condition. I would encourage anyone near to come look at this car. This Cadillac has turned heads since the day I purchased it. In regards to the 425 cubic inch big block V8 engine it runs just like it did the day it left the showroom floor. The car shifts like new. I recently drove this car down to The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa and back. While in school it was my daily driver. I can assure you while driving this beauty you stick out like a sore thumb but in the best way possible.  I would not hesitate to drive this car to  California (if I could afford the gas). 


If seriously interested do not hesitate to call me. I would much perfer to speak on the phone and answer any and all question. 217-820-7859 

Thank You,

Kolton


Addendum: 

I have been asked as to why I am selling this car. I am only selling this car due to the fact that I will no longer be able to garage it. If I could continue to garage the car I would not be selling. This car is one of kind in regards to it's condition and I truly hate to part with it.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.

Gimp Pimp and Aqua Volvo at 24 Hours of LeMons | Car Club USA

Tue, Mar 22 2016

Car Club USA heads to Sonoma, CA where the Gimp Pimp Cadillac and Aqua Volvo will take on all the crazy, sub-$500 competition at the 24 Hours of LeMons endurance race. "Over the last 30 years, car racing has gotten extremely serious and extremely expensive and it just seemed like there was a real need to make it accessible again," said LeMons founder Jay Lamm. The result is a series of endurance races across the US and Australia where all you need to join the fun is a junky car and some basic safety equipment. "It's just fun, compared to pro racing," said Wendy Epstein, driver of a 1979 Volvo 242 in bright "Aqua Volvo" livery. "24 Hours of LeMons is a form of racing that is designed to be cheap and easy, and anybody can do it," said Bill Manfroy, driver of the Gimp Pimp, a 1996 Cadillac SLS with some important modifications. "Part of what makes the Gimp Pimp Cadillac so special is that it does have hand controls, so it gives access to people like me that ordinarily get to race." "Which makes it perfect for LeMons." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures.

Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names

Tue, Mar 17 2015

Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.
