Men want to talk to you, women take your picture, kids are in awe. Seriously! This car is the BOMB! First, it's beautiful. The color is mesmerizing. Far superior to any other standard GM color I've seen on this vehicle. Second, it purrs like a kitten. About $40k has has gone into this restoration. It is reliable as hell. I've never had a problem with the engine or drive train. Engine and tranny was completely rebuilt at 87,791 miles. Currently there is 105, 212 on the ODO. I always keep my eye on what's selling in this category and this car, this quality, is right at the top. I drove it to NY and back last summer. Didn't skip a beat! Nothing like gliding down the highway in this. Talk about attention! Make me an offer!"

You'll see alot of 60's vintage Cadys out there and and believe me, they are NOT all equal - even though they may be in the same zone pricing wise. This car is the top of the heap in the driver class of classic cars. $40,000 has gone into this restoration. It runs great and is very solid. There are no uneven motor sounds or anything coming from the engine that would lead you to have pause. It's simply a great car. Here is a list of the major improvements, for which I have all the receipts. 

Engine rebuilt
Transmission rebuilt
Engine rewired
Carburator rebuilt
Premium radial tires
New Top, rear window
New motor, lines and hydrolic pistons for top
New nylon interior. In 1964, there were 143 different interior combinations
Genuine GM After market AC that blows nice and cold. Compressor designed specifically for this add on. 
New brakes
New floors
New paint. Bumpers, chrome, doorhandles, everything was removed, body sanded down to bare metal, any surface rust was removed, then primed and painted with original GM color specs.
New front and back speakers
The list goes on. 
The car, as nice as it is, is not perfect, of course, otherwise I'd be asking $80,000 instead of $19,500. There is a very slow leak in the power steering gearbox, around one of the seals. I add about 1 ounce of fluid about once a month. At some point you may want to replace this, but if you don't, just keep some power steering fluid in the trunk, hell, the old gal's 50, and wants to make you happy for under 20 grand! You should be in such good shape at that age!  Also, the radio recently stopped working and there are the "to be expected" blemishes here and there.

C7 Corvette won't spawn new Cadillac XLR [w/video]

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

Between the new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray and the even newer Cadillac Elmiraj Concept shown off at Pebble Beach, we were already expecting some sort of chatter of a Cadillac XLR redux. During an in-depth C7 Corvette discussion with Tadge Juechter, the car's chief engineer, Fox News asked if a Corvette-based, Bowling Green-built Cadillac will be built off the C7. Non-spoiler alert: the answer is no.
Juechter says that General Motors has "no intent" on transforming this car into a Cadillac product since the C7 has been optimized for the Corvette buyer, a consumer that's generally a different sort of person than a Cadillac intender who might also be cross-shopping a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class or BMW 6 Series.
While we're not ready to write off a future XLR altogether, we assume that the Corvette Cadillac experiment is most likely never going to happen again. The interview with Juechter is posted below, but the XLR discussion comes in at the 9:00 mark.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.

2013 Cadillac ATS 3.6 AWD

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

All-Wheel, All Right
There is no escaping the luxury all-wheel drive empire Audi has built for itself over the past 15 years. While nearly every high-end marque has at least one offering with power at all four corners, the hardware can't help but play second fiddle to Ingolstadt's Quattro kingdom. Leather-lined all-wheel drive is simply Audi the way minimum wage is an English degree. But General Motors seems hell-bent on raiding as many established fiefdoms as possible with the 2013 Cadillac ATS. Engineers and designers made no secret of the fact that the baby Cadillac was penned specifically to take on the BMW 3 Series, but Audi should be no less concerned about the newest luxury prince from Detroit.
GM has been stuffing all-wheel drive systems under their vehicles for years, but the effort hasn't come without nasty side effects. Unfortunate understeer, extra ride height, smallish wheels and porky curb weight meant opting for all-wheel drive was like signing your driving pleasure's death warrant. Would you like polished brass or brushed nickel hardware for your right foot's coffin, sir?
