Calls only! Text will not be returned! This no reserve action is for a 1979 Cadillac Seville that i have owned since 1985.It is fashioned after the micfearson Chevrolet one built in the early 1980s. It was a deciel car when i bought it from the original owner who sold real estate and hardly any one had sat in the back seat. Always garaged by him. The engine quit at 137000.00 so i put a 1973 454 and turbo 400 out of a station wagon. I dove it for years as my real estate car. Then i pulled the engine last year to do it up. Bored .030 over new forged pop up pistons,ported and polished heads 049 119 cc chamber for a today's gas friendly 9.25 to 1.Polished rods,balanced, clay smith 280/560 hyd cam, high volume oil pump, Cleavland 77 bearings,roller rockers shorty headers for nova,2/12 inch exhaust out the back with cross over pipe. Has 400 turbo trans that was also rebuilt at the time. It has near new disk brakes on all 4 corners. The front end has also been rebuilt a few years ago. It rumps nicely and you can tell it has a stall 2300-2600 in the turbo 400. The bad! It needs some paint work because of bubles by the vinal top edge,front fender, hood etc. When we painted it it got striped of all door gaurd edging and emblems before we base coat clear coated and cut and buffed it. It is real strait. The moon roof needs a new switch and doesn't move properly and may just need lube or taken apart and the tracks cleaned. The air conditioning doesn't work and is missing some parts. The cruse also doesn't work but is there. The rear bumper rubbers need replaced. They make new ones for about $200.00. The trunk lock works some times and some times not. I have closed in the key hole but it can be access and manually over ridden. The heater control box needs some adjustment. It runs and drives very nice with lots of horse power about 425 in my estimate. It rides on B F Goodrich TA tires and Chevrolet truck 7x15 and 8x15 rally wheels with 5 on 5 bolt pattern. It runs on pump fuel and if you took off the afb and ran a Holley i am sure it would like it. I left the card that is on it for gas mileage. DARE TO BE DIFFERENT! This is a pick up only item and as i said runs and drives nice to have your shipper load. For you who text. My final price could be the opening price maybe more. But you have to bid to buy it that is why they call this a action. Your text will not be returned! As i said CALLS ONLY! Garry 360-921-0446

Cadillac still planning for big things in China
Sat, 20 Apr 2013Despite some hiccups, China remains the auto industry's great hope for new vehicle sales, with significant sales gains and a huge upside. Nowhere is that hope more fervent than at General Motors, which offers eight different marques in the Asian nation. China has been GM's single biggest market the last three years running, and is unlikely to give up that title anytime soon. Yet its premiere brand, Cadillac, has remained essentially stagnant, selling just 30,000 units in China last year. That's in a segment where sales of luxury vehicles has outpaced that of the larger Chinese market. So what gives?
According to Cadillac officials Autoblog spoke with in China this week at the Shanghai Motor Show, it's been a problem of product - they haven't had the right ones. Displacement taxation issues, import tariffs and currency fluctuations have all conspired to make the brand's products less appealing than they might otherwise have been. But GM is stepping on the gas with Cadillac, and executives are eyeballing 100,000 sales by 2016 - more than triple the Wreath and Crest's current volume. And the expectations for the brand only get more ambitious from there - they're shooting for 10 percent of the luxury market by 2020. Bob Socia, President of GM China, promises that there will be a new Caddy launched in the market each year from now through 2016 and most will be built in China. Characterizing the company's efforts to revive the brand's fortunes as a "relaunch" of sorts, Cadillac also figures to gain dealers as GM expands its sales outlet footprint westward.
New products like a made-in-China XTS sedan (with a market-specific 2.0-liter four-cylinder to avoid heavy displacement taxes) will help, and Socia hinted that the ATS sport sedan could be next in line for in-country production. The SRX crossover - currently the brand's best-selling model in China - will also likely get a long look for future local production when the next-generation model is introduced. In the meantime, Cadillac unveiled the Escalade ESV Hybrid (shown above) as its latest model addition to capitalize on the market's white-hot luxury SUV segment.
Despite strong profits, GM still fighting flat market share
Fri, Jan 17 2014Looking at the progress General Motors has made since it entered bankruptcy, it's easy to forget that the company still has a long way to go before it's the juggernaut it once was. A recent report from Reuters points out that, while GM is making money, it isn't making any gains in terms of US market share. Quite the opposite, really. Consider this factoid: In 1963, nearly half of the cars sold in the United States were from Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC or Pontiac. Now, the company's US market share is stagnant at 17.9 percent. That same number is half of just Chevy's 1963 market share. This is all despite GM going on a binge replacing or updating its models. "Market share increases are not instantaneous," Mark Reuss told Reuters at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. "We've got a lot of baggage. Don't underestimate what people though of us, or these brands, through these hardships and 30 years." The reasons for the stagnant market share are numerous. Reuters points out that retooling of factories and a focus on limiting incentives are both good things for profit, but not necessarily for market share. There's also the troubling turnover of the brand's marketing department. These issues don't change the fact that Chevrolet has lost 1.4 percent of its market share in two years, and that Cadillac - arguably GM's most improved brand overall - has lost 1.2 percent in the same period. Part of that can be blamed on GM's avoidance of fleet sales in favor of more profitable customer sales. "Our focus has really been on retail and that's where we've got the growth," said Alan Batey, GM's interim global marketing boss. "We want to grow GM and that means growing market share and profits, but it's not at all costs," Reuss said.

Seinfeld and Don Rickles stretch out in classic Caddy for latest CiCGC
Thu, 04 Jul 2013It's no surprise that for the newest episode of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, airing for the first time on the 4th of July, that a couple of American classics are involved. You'll Never Play the Copa unites Seinfeld with legendary curmudgeon Don Rickles, driving around in a stunner of a 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Seville in Gleneagles Green (upholstery wrapped in Grandma-spec plastic, of course).
Mr. Rickles really steals the show in this one - maybe our favorite CiCGC to date - though the Eldorado plays a strong-jawed costarring role, for sure. Stories about Ronald Regan, Frank Sinatra, Billy Graham and, of course, Herkie Styles are more than worth the price of admission. Check it out below.
