Have you ever dreamed of discovering a car that was tucked away in a garage and forgotten? That happened to me when I found this beautiful 1979 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. This was my elderly neighbor’s car that she purchased new at a local dealership. She drove it only during the warmer months, and then parked it inside her garage while she drove her AWD Mercedes in the winter. In 1994 she moved to Florida to live with her son and the car remained parked in a climate controlled garage, covered up until her son sold it to me last year. I moved into my house in 1998 so I  did not know the car was sitting there until the day her son had the garage door open and I stumbled across it. Now anyone who knows anything about cars knows that you just can’t get in it and drive it after it has sat for 18 years. I spent almost $4,000.00 to get this Cadillac roadworthy, but now it runs and drives quite nicely. Tires and brakes are great, engine and transmission are smooth, and all electrical components work including the automatic ride leveler and cruise control. The next owner should not have to put very much money into the vehicle, if any. You should be able to drive it any distance with confidence. The interior is almost flawless with no rips, tears, or even any wear areas. To my knowledge the car has never been smoked in, eaten or drank in. The dash is excellent with the dash pad not faded or cracked anywhere. There is very little pitting on the chrome. The headliner was replaced by me. The outside is clean, straight, and rust free with a couple of small areas with a little surface rust. There is a boo boo on the passenger’s side behind the front bumper (pictured).Also,the son told me the front fenders were repainted. Seems his Mother had trouble navigating the narrow garage door and scraped booth front fenders. No body was required,just a respray. I have no reason to believe the mileage of 43,590 is not original. I didn’t do any major detailing to the car, just washed it and vacuumed the interior. Trunk and engine compartment are the way they looked when I pulled it out of the garage.

 

I can go on and on about the superior condition of the Cadillac, but I’m running out of text space. It is offered at no reserve; however I express the right to sell it locally, so it is subject to availability. Inspections are welcomed and recommended but I would be astonished if an inspector found anything of consequence. If you require more information, please reply to the ad with your phone number and I will reply as soon as possible. Thank you for considering my vehicle.

Cadillac bids farewell to CTS-V Coupe with special edition

Mon, 12 May 2014

With the introduction of the latest Cadillac CTS, we knew it would only be a matter of time before a new CTS-V would come along. Now General Motors has revealed that the next CTS-V will arrive sometime next year, but before it does, the company is sending off the outgoing coupe with a special edition.
For 2015, the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe will come in a limited edition of 500 units decked out with a dark grille treatment, satin-finish wheels, red brake calipers and an upgraded cabin. The interior is decked out Recaro seats trimmed in black with red stitching, Midnight Sapele wood trim, metal pedals and a microsuede-trimmed steering wheel and shifter.
Buyers will be able to opt for white, gray or optional black exterior paint, an available sunroof and a six-speed transmission in either manual or automatic configuration. Of course, the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 comes standard with 556 horsepower, as does Magnetic Ride Control and brakes by Brembo. Pricing will be announced closer to launch, but in the mean time, you can read all there is to know by checking out the official release below.

Cadillac confirms 420-hp twin-turbo V6 for 2014 CTS [w/videos]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

The 2014 CTS will break cover next week at the New York Auto Show, but Cadillac has released a few details of what we can expect to find under the car's hood. As we saw in some spy shots back in January, the biggest news for the midsize Caddy will be a twin-turbocharged V6 producing a whopping 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
This LF3 engine will be paired to a new eight-speed automatic transmission, which will help balance performance and fuel economy. We still don't know how much the 2014 CTS has grown in terms of size and weight, but General Motors says that new sedan will return 17 miles per gallon in the city and 25 mpg highway with the new engine to go with a 0-60 mile per hour time of 4.6 seconds - that means the new CTS will have the fuel economy close to the current base model sedan and acceleration not too far from the current CTS-V. General Motors also confirmed that this twin-turbo V6 will be available in the 2014 XTS this fall.
The next-generation CTS will carry over the 3.6-liter V6 from the current car (likely as a base engine) and also add the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder from the ATS. Check out all the details on this new engine and watch a few videos (including GM's nifty tilt rig) by scrolling below.
