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 ATS-V and Mercedes-AMG C63 S pitted Head to Head

Fri, Sep 4 2015

Our favorite (and only) Autoblog-alum-turned-Motor Trend staffer is back with another Head to Head video, this time pitting the Cadillac ATS-V with the Mercedes-AMG C63 S. This performance machine shootout is ostensibly a way to figure out which of these new super sedans will earn the right to go toe-to-toe with the undisputed champion of its segment, the BMW M3. In reality, it's just a really good excuse to put three of the hottest sedans on the market on video at the same time... and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Jonny Lieberman spends time in each of the two new challengers on the road, picking apart their powertrains, chassis and driving dynamics on the kinds of twisty roads drivers of these cars will relish. Then, he hands the keys off to Randy Pobst, who sort of acts as an unmasked version of a certain tame racing driver, except that he talks and has a personality. 0-60 and quarter-mile times are equated, braking performance is measured and scores are tallied before the two sport sedans end up at Willow Springs raceway. Interestingly enough, the car that proves (just slightly) faster at the race track isn't the car that wins the comparison. Curious? We're not going to spoil it for you. Check out the video, above. Then, for more action of these two machines, check out the videos just below.

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.
