1966 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 Sedan
Indeed, this rare car has seen better days but time has not completely taken this car out of the game. This model is one of 2 types of factory stretched limo, this one being the 9 passenger family sedan type. This car has no divider window and the interior scheme is same from front compartment to rear as opposed to the chauffer compartment up front being basic black leather trim. These were low production cars (only 989 of these made) that cost $10k+ when brand new (equal to that of a new Rolls Royce of the time).
This car left the factory with a Silver exterior and a gray silk cloth interior. Factory stardard options were power windows, automatic front and rear climate control, load leveling rear air shocks, 2-way power front bench seat, solid walnut wood paneling and fold out rear jump seats. This car was originally delivered to California and had (I repeat HAD) emissions controls. I aquired this car a few years ago with the intent of parting it out but upon examination of it, found it was too solid of a car to tear apart. I was going to restore it but time has been too scarce for me to devote to it.
THE GOOD The body and frame are super solid with the only rust hole being one in the passenger fender near the bottom where nearly all Cadillacs of the time rotted out. The driver side is solid. Even the trunk mount brackets are intact as is the floor pans and trunk pan. Any other rust on the car is surface rust. All the glass is in perfect condition. The motor runs currently (just needs a good tune up). Newer carb and radiator. The car is 90% complete and the only Fleetwood 75 specific parts that are missing are the center body side trim. Anything else is common to 1966 models and can be acquired from the thousands of parts cars available (as opposed to the 2000 or so total Fleetwood 75s). Tires are newer and look to have 80% thread life left. Power Seat and all 4 power windows work Wipers work. Ignition, doors and trunk lock all keyed to the same key which I have (trunk lock cylinder is in the glove box as the trunk emblem assembly was broken and removed). Fleetwood 75 specific chrome like the rear quarter window surrounds are in great condition with just age fade and little to no pitting (one year only parts). The rear a/c unit in the trunk is 95% complete (just missing a vacuum master switch, which is a common part found on all 65-68 Cadillacs with a/c). I have a CLEAN, New York State Transferrable Registration in my name for the car (1973 and earlier cars had no title in NYS, the registration is the title and can be signed over to the next owner, hence transferrable. After 1973, titles were issued and the registrations were marked NON-Transferrable).
The BAD The brakes are very soft and need work. The body at one point was painted sky blue and then when it started flaking, was painted over in places with house paint and a roller. On a lighter note, whoever roller painted the car ended up painting over the chrome trim in a few spots which actually helped protect it. Although the body is solid and primarily rust free, the rear doors and quarters have bondo work covering over wavy sheetmetal (prior owners must have rubbed the back side of the car against quite a few garage posts in it's life). The front grille and bumper center are cracked up in quite a few spots and are trash. The bumper corners are solid though and can be straightened out. A replacement center bumper is included and in the trunk as well as a straight lower passenger front bumper corner (just not pictured). The rear bumper was total trash beyond repair and removed. So, there is no rear bumper at all. The lower valance panel under the bumper is included and in the trunk. I also have a good used rear center bumper I will include (not pictured). Exhaust piping was rotted and was removed, so no exhaust system beyond the manifolds. The HVAC piping from the front to rear was missing. I purchased a full set of the a/c hoses (specific to 75s) for the front and rear as well as the pipe ends for all pipes. Just braze the pipe end with fittings to some new straight copper tubing for all the hot water and a/c lines to be back together. All the a/c lines and copper pipes are in the trunk. The interior seats are dried up and need to be fully reupholestered. The foam is turning to dust and the silk cloth is shredded. The worst door panel is the driver side front needing some cardboard panel work and the armrest redone. The rest are pretty nice and one I cleaned up and restored in dark blue (rear driver side shown in pics) Lots of the chrome trim in and round the car just has dirt and baked on dust but is very bright and clean once cleaned! Little pitting. Known missing parts : Antenna, rear bumper corners, master window switch and relay, inside rearview mirror, 1 front fender extension, a/c condenser, level ride compressor, a/c compressor, side body trim. There are other missing bits but are common and not 75 specific. Dashpad is missing in the interior pics as the original was shattered beyond restoration BUT I am including one with minimal cracking and a good dashpad sensor grille on it. I can add a pic if requested.
Overall, the car is definately worth saving. It WILL require a good amount of work but it's a very solid base to work with and a rare and beautiful one year only body style. Otherwise, it's an excellent parts car with tons of unique, rare parts. I could easily part it out for triple the starting bid. Hell, the running 429 engine is worth the opening bid alone. I sell Cadillac parts here on eBay and have been for many years. If you're the winning bidder and want to purchase other parts for this car or any other Cadillac you have, you can contact me and we can put together a package deal so that I can just load the additional parts in the car rather than having them shipped separately. Now for the terms... The car is in used condition, accurately described and is sold for PARTS or RESTORATION ONLY. It is not new, restored or in currently driveable condition! It is sold in AS IS condition and the sale is FINAL. Ask any and all questions BEFORE placing a bid! $500 deposit via Paypal is due immediately upon winning the bid. The remainder can be paid in cash on pickup or via Paypal in 7 days. Deposit is NOT refundable! You will lose the deposit if you don't pay in full for the car within 7 days of auction close! I don't care if you changed your mind, your wife is giving you the stink eye, you can't figure out how to get it shipped Denmark, you realize it won't fit into your 10x16 garage etc. The car must be picked up in North Massapequa, NY within 7 days of the auction's end. All arrangements to pick up the car must be made by the BUYER. That includes towing/flatbedding the car and transportation to it's final destination (home, business, shipping terminal etc). Be advised, the car is 21 feet long and will need a long flatbed. It can NOT be driven by any means from this location so don't expect to bring gas/battery and a tool box, start it up and roll. For all intentions and purposes, the brakes are NOT functioning. If you need a little more time to arrange a pickup, you must let me know in advance! As long as the car is fully paid for, I can keep it here a little while longer (by little while, I mean maybe another few days to a week, not months).

Chinese-made Cadillac CT6 Plug-In starts US sales
Thu, Apr 13 2017General Motors has started US sales of the Cadillac CT6 Plug-In after taking its first domestic deliveries of the China-produced sedan last month. The model is GM's first new plug-in hybrid in the US since the automaker discontinued sales of the ELR extended-range plug-in last year. The arrival and sales, first reported by InsideEVs, were confirmed by Cadillac spokesman Andrew Lipman. Not surprisingly, the sedan isn't cheap, as the CT6 Plug-In is priced at $75,095, or almost $12,000 more than the gas-powered variant, though that figure doesn't include federal and state tax credits for electric vehicles. For that tab, buyers get a 335-horsepower luxury car that can go 31 miles on electricity alone, and 0-60 miles per hour in a little over 5 seconds. The model gives GM three plug-in vehicles to sell to the American public, or the same number US competitor Ford offers. InsideEVs estimates that about 100 of the sedans have been delivered to US dealers, so the car remains a relatively low-volume affair. By comparison, GM's Chevrolet division has sold 5,563 Volt extended-range plug-ins and 3,092 Bolt electric vehicles through March. Cadillac sold 534 units of the ELR in 2016 after moving 1,024 the previous year. GM opted to produce the plug-in hybrid in China because of that country's receptiveness to new models that feature alternative and environmentally friendlier powertrains. Additionally, such production shortens the distance to the CT6's battery maker LG Chem, which is producing the car's battery packs in South Korea. On that note, GM has previously estimated that the Cadillac CT6 Plug-In will move more units in China than in the US. Related Video:
2018 Cadillac CT6 Drivers' Notes | Super Cruiser
Fri, Dec 1 2017The 2018 Cadillac CT6 showcases General Motors' impressive Super Cruise feature. It's the next milestone on the way to an autonomous future, though GM is being conservative about promoting Super Cruise's considerable prowess. It helps the driver, GM says. Does it work? Our editors have been testing one this week as the calendar turns and the temperatures drop in Michigan. Also, the CT6 is a really nice car. Here's what we think. Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder: Super Cruise, man. On Wednesday night, I rode home in a 2018 Cadillac CT6 with Super Cruise. I say "rode," but I was sitting in the driver's seat. I spent more time with my hands off the steering wheel than on it. It was super relaxing. Once I got on the highway, I set the cruise control, waited for the steering wheel icon to show up on the instrument cluster, and hit the button on the steering wheel that looked like a steering wheel (pretty meta, to be honest). The top section of the wheel illuminated in a green arc, and I felt the weight of the steering lift as the car began driving itself. I put my feet flat on the floor, rested my hands on my knees, and just watched the road while listening to a podcast ("The Dollop," if you were wondering). To be honest, I had trouble concentrating on the audio, as my thoughts were captivated by the way the car managed the road and traffic around me. Sure, I had to change lanes on my own and take over steering on interchanges and surface streets, but when the AI took the reins, it had my complete confidence. Perhaps just as surprising, the CT6 was also a blast to drive manually. It felt super smooth, with plenty of power and poise. I enjoyed bending it through 50-mph curves almost as much as I enjoyed being driven. Almost. Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore: Super Cruise just works. I was blown away how easy it was to use and how well it just did what it was supposed to do. Merging into the teeth of rush hour traffic in metro Detroit, I braced for the worst. I figured I'd be stuck in bumper-to-bumper gridlock and Super Cruise would never get deployed. Frankly, I was cynical Super Cruise would work. But then I was able to hit the 70-mph speed limit and figured, well, let's just see about this thing. Like John, I did the two-steps to set up SC, and boom, it worked. It trailed the cars in front of me at a proper distance. It braked naturally to a stop and then resumed speed. It slowed down when a Jeep Grand Cherokee cut me off.
