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.

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.

Super Bowl LVII car commercial roundup: Watch them all here

Mon, Feb 13 2023

Fewer automakers than usual spent money advertising during Super Bowl LVII. In total, there were only five traditional ad spots from three big OEMs. A number of car-adjacent ads aired during the Big Game, too, and we’ll bring you those ads in this roundup alongside the more obvious ones. WeÂ’ve compiled all of the automotive-related commercials for you here in this post so you donÂ’t have to go searching for them elsewhere. Read on below to see what aired as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles. Ram's Super Bowl spot offers a cure for 'Premature Electrification' This commercial revealed the new electric Ram Rev pickup, and itÂ’s themed like a prescription ad for an antidote to "Premature Electrification.” A concerned narrator in the Ram spot asks if you're afraid that going electric too soon will mean "you might not be able to last as long as you like," and there's a guy on a pier who's going to need some new equipment if he wants to catch fish. We're also told there are "options being designed to extend range in satisfying ways," so if this truck isn't right for you, you have choices. All the commercial's missing is a silly medical marketing name and six seconds of speed-reading gibberish about side effects like intestinal bleeding and death. Which are two more good things. Jeep 4xe Super Bowl commercial highlights modern version of 'Electric Boogie' JeepÂ’s “Electric Boogie” commercial follows the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe in a variety of simulated off-road situations. Though fun, the soundtrack is the real star of the show. The songÂ’s original artist, Marcia Griffiths, was joined by Grammy winner Shaggy, Jamila Falak, Amber Lee, and Moyann on the track. The modernized re-recording celebrates 40 years since GriffithsÂ’ original track, and Jeep says the track is available for streaming now. Kia returns to the Super Bowl with the tale of 'Binky Dad' This year, Kia follows the adventure of "Binky Dad" in his quest to fetch his daughter's lost pacifier, which naturally takes him over just about every bit of terrain you might encounter upon leaving the civilized confines of Southern California for the not-so-civilized mountains of ... probably also California. It features the refreshed 2023 Kia Telluride, which probably doesnÂ’t need much advertising to see these days, but Kia went for it with the strong three-row SUV anyway.

Cadillac launching crossover-heavy product offensive

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

Utilizing information provided by Cadillac suppliers, Reuters says that Cadillac is preparing two more crossovers that will bow after its current product initiative is complete. According to the report, a year after the next SRX arrives in 2016, a pair of CUVs will be unveiled that will bracket it in size, and they'll be headed for the US and Chinese markets.
That is years away, though. For now, the company's attentions are on the nearly here CTS and ELR range-extended coupe, the next Escalade SUV (shown above), an ATS coupe, and the range-topper that will sit above the XTS. That, and possibly an even more impressive range-topper that promises to be the mean and majestic super-luxe unicorn Cadillac we've been dreaming about for more than a decade now.
In response to the issue of how German crossovers might be having an impact on Cadillac's future plans, a company source said - rightly, we think - "we don't need to duplicate the Germans." That doesn't mean, however, that it can't wade deeper into a market segment that the Germans are making a ton of money in. In fact, and since everyone is doing it, we'd be surprised if Cadillac didn't, even if it won't happen for another four years.
