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.

Hotter Cadillac ATS-V+ could use LS7 power

Tue, May 26 2015

Rumor has it Cadillac is working on an even hotter version of the ATS-V, possibly called ATS-V+. And the latest intel from Motor Trend suggests this new model might have a great, big V8 under the hood. The V8 in question is the high-revving, naturally aspirated 7.0-liter LS7 from the Camaro Z/28. The hand-built engine makes 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque in the Z/28 – a nice increase over the 464 hp and 445 lb-ft in the standard ATS-V, which uses a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6. Motor Trend says the ATS-V+ will come to market with an eight-speed automatic transmission, as well as the seven-speed manual 'box from the Corvette. A dual-clutch transmission will come to market later. Of course, we'll believe it when we see it. But an LS7-powered ATS-V sure sounds like a great package to us. Here's hoping.

Cadillac's de Nysschen won't budge on raised pricing

Thu, 18 Sep 2014

According to new Cadillac boss Johan de Nysschen, it will take between 10 and 15 years to elevate GM's top brand, which was once hailed as "The Standard Of The World," back to prominence in the minds of American customers. And to hear the executive talk of it, the brand is going to have to be willing to see sales falter in the near-term before they recover:
"Either you have to bring your volume aspirations into alignment with reality and accept that you will sell fewer cars... Or you have to drop the price and continue to transact at the prices where you were historically... I think the logical conclusion is that it's better to build off a very solid base in terms of [product] credibility, charge a fair price for the car and realize you have to wait until the volume comes."
In other words, sales will fall before they rise, and the brand has to be okay with that. Notice, too, that de Nysschen speaks of "a fair price" for Cadillac cars and utility vehicles. In this case, "fair" means more than many of the brand's traditional buyers are accustomed to, and roughly in line with the brands and machines Cadillac believes it is competing against. For instance, the newly enlarged 2014 CTS carries a suggested retail price that is over $6,000 higher than it was in 2013, and some trim levels boast an even higher price premium over the models they replace.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation

Sat, 09 Aug 2014



The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
