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 |

11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching
Fri, 26 Sep 2014This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.
GM to idle car production at five factories as Americans continue CUV love affair
Mon, Dec 19 2016In case you needed another reminder that Americans have fallen out of love with sedans, General Motors today announced plans to idle five factories in January in a bid to cut its inventory to 70 days. Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly ( Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Chevrolet Volt and Impala) and Fairfax Assembly in Kansas ( Chevy Malibu) will stop production for three weeks. Lansing Grand River ( Cadillac ATS and CTS, and Chevy Camaro) is going down for two weeks, while Lordstown, OH ( Chevy Cruze) and Bowling Green, KY ( Chevy Corvette) will go idle for a week each, Automotive News reports. GM's shutdown reflects a broader problem with the company's supply – at 847,000 vehicles, the company's supply increased unsteadily from a low of 629,000 units in January of 2016. That's more than a 25 percent increase in the past year. Citing information from Autodata, The Detroit News reports that at the end of November, GM had a 168-day supply of LaCrosses, 177 days' worth of Camaro, 170 days of Corvette, 121 days for Cruze, 119 days for ATS, 132 days for CTS, and 110 days of CT6. Meanwhile, inventory of the company's more popular vehicles is actually below the professionally accepted 60- to 70-day supply, The News reports. The Trax, Colorado pickup, and GM's full-size SUVs are sitting below 50 days and experiencing year-over-year sales increases. GM needs a rethink of its inventory levels, which is something that's apparently coming. "We're going to be responsible in managing our inventory levels," GM spokesman Jim Cain told The News. Another unnamed spokesman told Automotive News the company's day-to-day supplies would "fluctuate before moderating at year-end." But at least one analyst thinks this won't be the last time Detroit needs to stop production to level things out. "Incentives are elevated, residuals are declining, and rates are rising," Brian Johnson, an analyst with Barclays, told The News. "And while GM in particular may benefit in the months ahead from new product launches, it's important to recognize that GM's inventory is elevated at the moment, and it wouldn't surprise us if they need to announce another production cut – which could pressure the stock."

C7 Corvette won't spawn new Cadillac XLR [w/video]
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Between 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.
