Rat Rod/hot/rod Custom 1960 Cadillac 2 Dr Coupe Deville on 2040-cars
Pasco, Washington, United States
I am selling my 1960 Cadillac coupe deville I built. It started off with 39000 original miles on car but had been sitting for yrs, the original 390 eng was froze up so out it came. I was looking for millage and power in one so decided to install a dodge cummins turbo diesel with a auto tranny. the eng has 214,000 miles on it, I built the injection pump with all the goodies and installed new 75 hp injectors, adjusted the valves, installed new valve cover gaskets. I had the tranny rebuilt with all new parts, new converter and new shift kit.I get an average of 30 mpg at 75 and if I stay at 68 I get 33 mpg. I had to modify most everything under the hood to get the cummins in place, I had to cut 3 inches from the oil pan, make solid motor mounts, and tranny mounts as the tollerances were very tight between the starter and power steering box but she fit. installed a new aluminum radiator and black magic fan, runs under 180 on the hottest days. installed new disk brakes, and now for the color. this thing is amazing, it was an experiment and turned out great. the body is not perfect, didn't want it perfect. she looks bad ass and always gets tons of looks. all the electric windows work and the 6 way electric seat works. none of the factory gauges work, I have all aftermarket gauges and they all work. it rides on 20 inch wheels and tires, drives like a dream and rides like a caddy. just needs interior finished I would consider part trades for ? but need mostly cash for my 34 dodge panel build. any questions call 509-520-9713 and I have all the paperwork for the build and a clean clear title for it.

First Cadillac ELR rolls off the line
Thu, 30 May 2013Gearing up for the Belle Isle Grand Prix this weekend, General Motors invited some of the Chevrolet and Cadillac racecar drivers out to its Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant. While there, the racers - including IndyCar Driver and Chevrolet Volt owner, Simona De Silvestro - witnessed the very first 2014 Cadillac ELR to roll off the assembly line.
These vehicles are not destined for customers, however, but instead pre-production units will be used by engineers for testing purposes. Actual production of ELR consumer models is expected to commence closer to the end of this year. As a refresher, this range-extended electric Cadillac shares much of its powertrain with the Volt but will have a sportier coupe design inspired by the Converj Concept. De Silvestro manged to snap a few images of here own, which you can see in the gallery below.
Opel director Sedran to succeed Docherty as Chevy Europe boss
Wed, 26 Jun 2013When longtime General Motors executive Susan Docherty announced she would be stepping down from her post as the head of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe, there was some idle chatter that plans for the creation of a new global overseer position for the Bowtie brand was behind the move. And while US sales chief Alan Batey has indeed assumed control of Chevy worldwide since her departure announcement, Docherty's vacancy is being filled after all, with Opel chief strategist Thomas Sedran taking up the reins.
That's according to Automotive News, who reports that Sedran will be tasked with pulling Chevy out of a sales funk, much of it pegged on Europe's stagnant auto industry, which has sunk to a 20-year low. AN notes that Chevy's EU sales plunged 32 percent to 57,584 units through the first five months of 2013, but the everyday value brand is faring worlds better than Cadillac, which has sold just 167 units in Europe over the same time period.
Sedran, 48, has been in the auto industry for over 20 years. Most recently, at Opel he had been working on long-term plans for the marque, and was appointed to the brand's management board in April of last year. Prior to joining GM, Sedran was employed as a management consultant for AlixPartners, where he worked closely with Opel for six years. Sedran will assume his new duties beginning July 1.
Cadillac exec realizes ELR pricing was stupid high
Thu, May 14 2015At least one Cadillac exec has finally started to come to terms with something we knew all along: the initial $75,000 price for the ELR plug-in hybrid was way too high. The bad decision in part led to the model selling just over 1,000 units last year. Company marketing boss Uwe Ellinghaus recently gave an interview to Bloomberg where he discussed what went wrong. "The MSRP was, indeed, a mouthful," Ellinghaus said to Bloomberg. "We overestimated that customers would realize our competitors were naked at that price." People balked at the ELR's price from the very start, and dealers were receiving $5,000 at one point just for getting customers to test drive the PHEV. Later, some incentives for buyers were as high as $14,000. Cadillac planners saw a conundrum when it came to the ELR's price. Too low of a figure was thought to bring the model close to the Chevrolet Volt, and $75,000 was also believed to signal Caddy's PHEV as something special. "We just wanted to make this a statement for the brand of how progressive we are," Ellinghaus said to Bloomberg. Cadillac is now working to rehabilitate the ELR's reputation with a host of updates for 2016. Buyers get a 25-percent boost in powertrain output, additional standard features, and the whole package comes with a $9,000 drop in price. The tweaks should help the luxurious PHEV make a better second impression. Related Video:
