 NO RESERVE AUCTION      Barn Find:  Up for bid is a  "Commemorative Edition" 1985 Cadillac Touring Coupe. One of only 585 touring coupes produced  in 1985 and one of  only a few that were ordered with the gold commemorative package. How many still are around, if any, I am not sure.  Yes, the mileage is right as this old girl still has her original set of Uniroyal "Gold Seals" on  her after all these years and they still show about 70% - 80% tread.  She was a Sunday driver and came from the estate of a local businessman who passed away several years back.  This vintage Caddy starts and runs well but the brakes are a little spongy from sitting and the "Brake Warning" light stays on when driving.  It has climate control  and still blows cool but not cold when turned on.  She needs a new owner to restore her back to her original elegance that she had when she left the Linden NJ plant in 1985.  This car is a great investment considering its truly "One of a Kind" factory order and modification makeup ranging from the Hood Mascot and Chrome Wings, Rolls Front Valence Piece, Fender Side Pipes and Step Boards, Scripted Glass/Taillights, Continental Spare Tire Kit, the ASC conversion Sunroof,  Phaetom Style Rear Roof with Gold Accents...  Bodywise this car is straight and complete although there is some rust mostly on the passenger side as the pictures show.  Terms of sale are a $500 deposit from high bidder via PayPal within 24 hours of auction close and remaining balance by Bank Draft within 5 days of auction close.  Pickup location is Pembina ND zip code 58271 and car will need to be picked up within 2 weeks of auction close unless other arrangements are made. I can help arrangement shipment to your location if needed but the cost is the responsibility of the new owner.  Thanks for looking...

Cadillac Blackwing models will finally be revealed in February

Thu, Jan 7 2021

It's been a little over a year and a half since Cadillac reworked the V line of performance sedans and teased something above its regular V cars. In that time, we've seen camouflaged prototypes and a teaser for a manual shifter with a 3D-printed topper, but hardly anything about specifications. That should all change next month. The company released a teaser announcing the reveal of the Cadillac Blackwing variants of the CT4-V and CT5-V on Feb. 1. The teaser hardly shows anything of the cars except a brief shot of someone shifting, and what sounds like a fairly ferocious V8 exhaust note. Based on prototypes and rumors, we're expecting the CT5-V to use a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, rather than the unique DOHC turbocharged V8 from the CT6-V, and the CT4-V will likely have a turbocharged V6. The CT5-V has also been spied with quite a bit of tire, 305-mm in the rear and 275-mm in the front. Based on these car's similarly powered predecessors, the ATS-V and CTS-V, they should be extremely entertaining. Related Video:

GM cars and SUVs recalled for leaking transmission fluid

Thu, Nov 5 2020

General Motors is recalling more than 194,000 vehicles from 2018 to 2020 due to transmission fluid leaks. The leaks stem from an auto stop-start component that may have been installed with loose or missing bolts. The leaking fluid can affect the transmission's performance, and if it leaks onto a hot exhaust component, could potentially cause a fire. GM says that to date, it knows of no accidents or injuries related to the defect. The issue affects models from all four GM divisions. From Chevrolet, the affected vehicles are: 2018 Malibu, 2018–2019 Cruze, 2018–2020 Equinox, 2018–2020 Traverse, 2019–2020 Blazer At Buick, the following models are included: 2018–2019 LaCrosse, 2019–2020 Encore, 2019–2020 Enclave, At GMC, the recall includes: 2018–2020 Terrain, 2019–2020 Acadia Cadillac has two affected vehicles: 2019–2020 XT4 and 2020 XT6 The recall is scheduled to begin in mid-December. Owners of the affected vehicles will be contacted. Dealers will inspect the transmission accumulator, and replace those with loose or missing bolts.
