You are bidding on one: 1976 Cadillac Seville. - needs tow. 

This is a one-family car, garaged in North Carolina for 30 years. My grandmother's car, refurbished for my daughter, registered and insured until recently, clean title, this has been well-kept and a daily driver since 2011. (I cancelled the insurance and returned the plates in April)

I started it up a few times during the winter, always on the first turn. Super car with lots recently fixed; fuel pump, battery, tires, brakes and $4k in work since 2010.  Last week I made a deal to sell it for $3500 and got in, started it right up... it chugged a little so I added gas and drove around the neighborhood. All is well. It seemed there was no fuel so I added more and got ready to drive over... but it stopped. I cranked the started until it might have seized until I saw the holes.. rusted gas tank.. seized starter.. I don't want to deal with it. I have an offer for $750 if I tow it 4 miles so this is a chance to get it before I hire a flatbed.

Feel free to ask any questions you might have.

Body is excellent.
83K original miles.
Blue cloth interior, no damage.
8-track with cassettes

Here are the issues I know
rust where back window meets side panel, trim strip see photos
A/C not working, never cared.
Driver door interior panel is loose.
Driver seat power adjuster is disconnected... but works.
Stereo is 100% working but not connected due to aftermarket bluetooth unit override. Easily reconnected for stock.
Hole in gas tank
Battery drained but should still be good - warranty by NAPA
Some things that weren't needed 'emissions' have been disconnected, but I don't know engines.
..and a few other things.

Runs and starts fast. Fun car to drive.
I was with my father when he bought this one for his mother and it's been handed down in clean condition.

2016 Cadillac CT6 First Drive [w/video]

Tue, Jan 26 2016

Cadillac moved to New York, renamed its cars and crossovers, and made cutting-edge technology one of its pillars. It's fighting hard to attract new customers and kill its outdated reputation as an old-man car brand in the United States. Change happens slowly, and then sometimes, all at once. Enter the 2016 Cadillac CT6. This is Cadillac's range-topping sedan. It's almost as long as the Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7 Series, yet in some configurations, it's lighter than their smaller siblings, the E-Class and 5 Series. The CT6 is a rolling showcase of General Motors' latest and best technologies, with potential breakthrough features like Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving waiting in the wings. It comes in a wide variety of flavors. The CT6 starts as low as $54,490 with a four-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive, which is the car that Cadillac hopes will be cross-shopped with the mid-tier Germans. The top-end CT6 Platinum with all-wheel drive and the 404-horsepower V6 begins at $84,460, and it could make S-Class and 7 Series buyers rethink American luxury. Put simply, the CT6 means everything to Cadillac, but it will mean different things to its customers. It can be the executive chauffeur with all the backseat accouterments. Or it can be the massive yet somehow kinda sporty and nimble rear-wheel-drive sedan that weighs only 3,657 pounds. We tried both versions and came away impressed with both the strategy and the execution. It's a little strange to think that Cadillac doesn't offer a V8 in its biggest sedan. Taking the wheel on a sunny, cool day in rural San Diego County, we wonder if a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine has what it takes to really move this giant. Our concerns quickly dissipate – this engine is also under the hood of the Chevy Camaro, and its 265 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque are more than up for the task. The big sedan handles curvy mountain roads adeptly. There's not a lot of roll for a car this size, even when we're aggressively whipping through tight turns. This poise comes from the CT6's rigid, lightweight aluminum and steel structure called Omega. We switch through the driving modes but settle on sport for the dash to the lunch spot. The steering is surprisingly tight and the brakes have strong response with little pedal travel. After a quick bite in an old mining town called Julian, we take off in the spotlight CT6, the Platinum trim, powered by the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. It's an enjoyable car to stretch out on the highway.
