Cool 1960 Hot Rod Caddy Deville Hardtop Up For Auction With NO RESERVE

74k original miles, 390 V8. It's a car I've put much love and money into and it's time to find her a new home. I have way too many cars (Cadillacs in particular) and I really don't take her out much. She's a great old runner that can be driven as is (you'll get many thumbs up and horns honking) or a perfect candidate for restoration. I've put under 3000 miles on the Caddy since I've had it, about three years. 

Mechanical: when I got the Caddy I had to do a few things to get her to being a daily driver. She ran but had been sitting for awhile and needed to be gone through. I did the entire brake system; a new brake booster, master cylinder as well as all new brake lines, new brake hoses and cylinders at each wheel. Doing the brake system alone was almost $1300, the booster had to be sent out for a rebuild. She also got a new gas tank (NOT cheap!) and fuel lines as well as new fuel pump. She's got new dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers with pipes exiting out of the side as seen in the pix. She's also got new shocks all around (Monroe adjustable air shocks in the rear) as well as most of the front end done, tie rods, bushings, ball joints, etc, she handles incredibly well for such a long car. She's got all new belts, new hoses and a full tuneup. The previous owner had the radiator and water pump replaced in 2005 and told me the engine had been rebuilt in the early 90's but I have no paperwork on that. The wheels are aftermarket 18's with decent tires, I paid over $1500 for the set including the wheel bolt pattern adapters, I will leave them on for an extra $800. Otherwise I have the original Cadillac wheels and hubcaps in nice condition with good whitewall tires if you prefer the original look. The driver's power window and passenger rear window work, the other two can be put up and down by hand. The driver's and passenger windows are cracked but solid, all the other glass is in great shape, no scratches on the windshield. The engine is nice and quiet, no noises from the power steering pump, water pump, generator, etc, even when starting her on cold mornings. 

Cosmetic: the Caddy is in nice "driver" condition. The interior got zebra print felt material on the dash and rear deck, it's just spray glued down. The dash had some cracks in it so I figured I'd give it some style. It can easily go back to stock appearance with a hard plastic dash cap sold on Ebay for $125. I put in new fitted carpet ordered off Ebay and reupholstered the bottoms of the door panels as well. I added matching blue Cadillac seat belts ordered off Ebay, they're 60's era Caddy seat belts. The seats are in overall good condition, just a couple of small seams opening in spots. The power seat works intermittently, the switch could use cleaning or replacing. It has that "glitter cloth" look popular in 1960. The paint is dull, it's a good "ten-footer", she looks better in the pix than in person. Some small patches have been done behind the front wheels by the previous owner and I put strips of heavy diamond plate down at the bottom each side to add to the custom look, it really looks tough. The front bumper is in good shape, dull but no rust, the rear bumper ends around the taillights will need attention, they're starting to peel. The underside of the car is strong, floors are good, one small area in the driver's footwell has had new metal put in and the frame is solid. The original AM radio still works as well as the power antenna. There's a modern CD stereo mounted in a housing under the dash. Overall she presents well as seen in the pix; she's not a showcar by any means but a really cool Kustom. It's funny, at car shows people will walk right by $50k restored cars to take pix with my Caddy!

All the directional/brake/turn signal/headlights work as well as heater, defroster, wipers and horn. Engine always starts easily, even after sitting for a month or two. Cruises nicely on the highway, holds the road perfectly. Runs very strong, 304 HP 390 V8 moves this big girl with LOTS of power, idles perfectly, shifts smoothly, stops easily and the suspension is luxurious. No leaks, garage floor always dry when I take her out. For what it's worth, I've got a LOT of cash into the Caddy, I never planned on selling her. Whoever buys this car will immediately see the love and attention that went into it.

I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Caddy is for sale locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of shipping to paid by buyer. If you need it I can recommend a door to door auto shipper I've used many times in the past; they're professional, reliable and have great rates. This is a NO RESERVE auction, top bidder gets her!

Nice classic Caddy which will only appreciate in value! Any questions feel free to call or email. 914-224-3230

Cadillac CT6 PHEV battery shape a big departure for GM's plug-in hybrid tech

Thu, Apr 23 2015

Anyone with any familiarity with the electric powertrain details for the two General Motors plug-in hybrids will have noticed that the information we have about the newly announced Cadillac CT6 plug-in hybrid has a lot of numbers in common with the Chevy Volt and the Cadillac ELR, like the 18.4-kWh lithium-ion battery pack and an expected all-electric range of 37 miles. We also noticed that the announcement calls the plug-in CT6 hybrid an actual plug-in hybrid and not an "extended range electric vehicle (EREV)," which is what GM calls the Volt and the ELR. This, of course, means we needed to ask GM some questions. Donny Nordlicht from Cadillac communications told AutoblogGreen that while the Volt and CT6 batteries are both 18.4-kWh, the shape is completely different. In the Volt/ELR, the battery is T-shaped (see it here). The CT6 has four seats, with a tunnel running between the two in the rear, as you can see here, but the battery in the CT6 PHEV is "a cube-shaped pack, which is between rear seats and the trunk," Nordlicht said. "There is no pass through." GM has not yet released any technical schematics about this pack, but Nordlicht said that, "The CT6's advanced mixed-material platform was designed to accommodate the PHEV system by design so that it minimally intrudes on the cabin space." It also means that the CT6 can be ordered as an optional PHEV, while the Volt and ELR were purpose-built plug-ins. GM is also distinguishing between the EREV and PHEV powertrains in its vehicles from this point forward. "We are not discarding the EREV language," Nordlicht said. "The CT6 utilizes a two-motor system mated to a 2.0T 4-cylinder engine, which is an all-new system to Cadillac." We assume that the PHEV packs will use li-ion cells from LG Chem, just like the EREVs do, but Nordlicht did not answer our question on that point. As for other details about the CT6 PHEV – like production, full dimension, and pricing – we will just have to wait until closer to when the vehicle launches for those. Related Video:

Cadillac to bolster CT sedans with XT crossovers

Wed, 01 Oct 2014

Cadillac is moving swiftly to change up its naming scheme. Barely over a week ago we received our first indication that it was considering a different name its the upcoming flagship sedan previously known as LTS. Then Cadillac not only revealed the model would be called CT6, but announced that it would set the stage with a massive overhaul of its model nomenclature. And now we have another piece of the puzzle.
According to Forbes, Cadillac will not only rename its sedans with the letters CT, but will realign its utility vehicles under the banner of XT - both to be followed by a number indicating its place in the lineup. The one exception will be the Escalade, whose nameplate has such a strong following that it would be foolish for Cadillac to cast it aside. That leaves only the SRX (pictured above), but makes room for a new crop of crossovers said to be in the works.
It's a similar approach which Cadillac's new boss Johan de Nysschen took in revising the naming scheme at Infiniti. While it's bound to ruffle some feathers and scratch some heads in the beginning - especially since the company's current flagship sedan is called XTS - it's equally sure to make sense of it all in the long run. All we need to know now is what Nysschen and his marketing chief Uwe Ellinghaus plan to call the coupes.

Brock Lesnar does M. Bison impression on Cadillac CTS

Fri, Jul 10 2015

There's no doubt that a huge amount of physicality is required to survive night after night in the ring as a professional wrestler. Conversely, the storylines that tie all the action together are as staged as any soap opera. However, there's nothing fake about watching two axes being embedded in a Cadillac CTS by WWE wrestler Brock Lesnar. Lesnar's prodigious brawn was really putting this luxury sedan out of its misery, though. With matte black stripes on the hood, fake fender vents, camouflage along the side, and a decal proclaiming "Redneck" on the windshield, this particular Cadillac was far from the standard of the world. In favor of the CTS' build quality, Lesnar's hatchets didn't immediately do quite as much damage as you might expect, and he had to take several swings to achieve the destruction here. If you think that destroying a sedan one piece at a time sounds like something from a video game, you aren't alone. Someone else noticed a definite similarity to the bonus round from Street Fighter 2 where you get points for beating up a car at the dockside until it falls apart. Appropriate sound effects were even added, but having Lesnar throw a few pixelated fireballs would have been a nice inclusion, too. For the significantly longer, original version, check out the one embedded below. After Lesnar crushes the CTS, the actual wrestling does eventually ensue. The Caddy even briefly acts as a prop for some of the action.
