1969 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Sedan 4-door 7.7l on 2040-cars
Maryville, Tennessee, United States
RARE 1969 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD BROUHAM, REAL CLASSIC VINTAGE RIDE, 44,000 UNMOLESTED MILES.
Low Reserve for Fast Sale........... If you're looking for a great running older car, and an easy restoration, this is it. 472ci V8 engine. Two owner car with previous owner for over 43 years. They had several cars and trucks, this was the weekend ride. All in original condition, nothing changed up or molested. This was a recent buy for me. After pick up, drove home over 100 miles with no issues what so ever. Transmission smooth, no leaks or over heating. I got the car with plans on easy interior restoration, then drive daily and work on the rest as I went along. However, things changed quickly (financial) and need to recoup costs and regroup. So, off she goes. Hopefully to someone who can easily restore and bring back as she should be. Who knows, add a rockin' sound system and a chandelier and it can be just like Snoop Dogs 69 "Brown Sugar". Ha..... Over all, for a car that's 45 years, she's in great shape. Before I drove home, I installed new battery, (850cca), updated alternator with regulator and brake booster with new master brake cylinder. Outside of an oil change and gas, that's all I've had to do to start driving. (-note, I bench bled the master, but could not bleed complete system, and probably should be done before putting into daily service). This is a southern car and shows well. No rust on body panels, doors or hood. All solid floors and trunk. No welding of floor pans to replace. Interior doors and jams rust free. Good solid car. The only area I've scene any rust at all is an area on trunk lid. Small strip that should be spotted in pics and easily fixed. Interior door panels will need restore or replaced, all due to summer sun and heat. Door handles there and working. Tires have good tread and look like a recent add, however, are still older. I've tried to give the best description on the pros and cons of the car, but if I've forgot any, I'll try to add later. If you'd like to see the car before bidding, call for directions. Located in Maryville, TN. About 15 minutes south of Knoxville Airport. (McGee Tyson). Also listed locally, so may end early. But if bidding is ongoing, I'll leave auction going. You can reach me between 10 AM and 10 PM at 865-640-6543, on road a lot, so if no answer, leave message and call Will be returned. Good luck bidding, you'll enjoy this car, easy restore. Take care, Will. |

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
Next-gen Cadillac CTS-Vs caught in parking lot
Thu, 10 Jan 2013A pair of camouflaged Cadillac CTS prototypes were spotted, and thankfully photographed, outside a grocery store in Southern California. From the image above - there are plenty more if you click over to TotalCarScore.com - it appears these could be testers for the 2014 CTS-V, but that is just speculation. We've seen the obvious "V" motif in the grille before, and there's what could be another "V" in the design of the side mirrors.
The hood on the car in the background appears to include two bulges, but the single shot that affords a tiny peek under the hood shows reveals only the airbox. Plenty of rumors, and the sight of an engine cover inscribed with the words "Twin Turbo," have caused people to wonder if a twin-turbo V6 will live under the production car's hood instead of the V8 currently there. In back, instead of the round tailpipes found outboard on all the CTS sedans, there's a pair of integrated tips in a parallelogram shape. A new shifter with contrasting stitching was spied in the cabin.
If predictions hold up it will arrive later this year. When it does, expect the body underneath all that camo to be softer on the eye compared to the current car - less science and more art. For now, hit the link to see more spy shots of what's coming.
Cadillac to augment dealers with 700 'boutique' stores
Thu, Jan 22 2015Johan de Nysschen is on a mission to revitalize Cadillac. Since taking over as chief executive of the American luxury brand, the former Audi and Infiniti exec has set about moving the brand's headquarters to New York, switched advertising firms, launched a completely new naming scheme for its model line, and has a whole raft of new products planned. And now he's working on changing how its dealer network operates. Speaking at both the Washington Auto Show and the NADA dealers' convention in San Francisco this week, de Nysschen has outlined a new plan for its US dealers. The network presently consists of over 900 stores – some 200 of which are stand-alone Cadillac dealers, with the remaining 700 attached to other GM brand showrooms. Contrary to earlier fears, de Nysschen notes that the dealer network is larger and covers more territory than those of import brands, and has no intention of cutting that number down. But he is asking those 700 mixed-brand dealers to create a new showroom experience for Cadillac customers. In this latest announcement, Cadillac refers to a new model of "boutique" showrooms that will encompass new technologies, higher-trained staff and luxury amenities to give those attached Cadillac showrooms a more unique feel. The plan includes installing "virtual showroom" systems that will allow potential customers to configure a new car using interactive displays and "potentially even holograms." The plan also calls for "new standards for compensation... with more precise alignment of local sales and potential for each dealer" in order to make sure that the requisite investment in the infrastructure and staff training are worthwhile for the dealers. Just what form these new systems will take, we don't know at this point. Nor are we sure why Cadillac isn't including its 200 stand-alone "flagship" dealers in the initiative. But we're sure we'll be finding out more about de Nysschen's plans on the dealer front in due course. Cadillac Discusses U.S. Dealer Network Development 2015-01-22 WASHINGTON, D.C. – As part of Cadillac's overall mission to expand and elevate within the premium automotive sector, the brand today outlined its strategy to upgrade its U.S. dealer network. Speaking at both the Washington, D.C. Auto Show today, and this weekend's annual National Auto Dealers Association convention in San Francisco, Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen will outline how the brand will target enhancements in the customer experience.
