 This 1989 Cadillac Allante appears to be in original factory condition and is overall very nice for its age.  Its paint is slightly faded, particularly on the hood and there is some minor rust on the rear quarter panels near the wheel openings.  The Interior is the nicest part of the car, it is extremely clean and shows minimal wear.  The dash, and instrument cluster lights up and appears to be functioning properly.  The car does come with the factory convertible hard top which I have not removed so I do not know the condition of the soft top.  The car runs and drives quite well for its age and seems to be in pretty good mechanical condition. It will need a new battery and some brake work involving the ABS system.  The car seems to be all there and looks to have all of the original buttons, instruments, moldings, etc.  The window glass is also in good condition.

Given the overall condition of the car, the future owner could go in multiple directions.  Keep it Cheap, address the minor mechanical needs, and have some fun as an everyday driver.  Secondly, given that it seems to have all of the major and minor components, it would make a great candidate for a full restoration if you really wanted to create a nice show piece.  Or it may be sad to say, there is significant value in the parts and if you are evaluating this as an investment, there is probably a significant amount of money to be made in parts.

If you are unfamiliar with the Cadillac Allante, this car is a fully loaded luxury convertible originally designed to compete against the Mercedes SL Convertible.  It comes complete with all of the luxury options of its time including power leather seats, digital dash, and convertible top.

This car has a clear title and a clean carfax vehicle history report.

SHIPPING AND PAYMENT:  Buyer is responsible to arrange any shipping at their own expense.  Preferably the buyer will take delivery of the vehicle in person and is responsible to make any travel arrangements to our Dealership at their own expense.  Our methods of payment or CASH or Certified Bank Check.  Naturally any and all applicable taxes and fees will be additional to the final agreed price.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.

Cadillac back on track with 600-hp ATS-V.R racer in FIA GT3 spec [w/video]

Fri, 14 Nov 2014

There was already a rumor brewing that Cadillac might eschew the CTS as its racecar next season in favor of the ATS Coupe. It turns out that is absolutely the case, and now we know just what this 600-horsepower, future racer looks like. The coupe might not be limited to competing in just the US, though, because it's built to FIA GT3-specifications, meaning that this Caddy is also eligible to race in over 30 series worldwide against the likes of Bentley, McLaren, Audi and other premium brands.
The heart of this massively winged Cadillac is an engine dubbed the LF4.R. It's based around the unit in the production ATS-V and CTS Vsport but with larger turbos, bigger intercoolers, side exhausts and other tricks. Cadillac claims it makes a monstrous 600 hp and 520 pound-feet of torque in unrestricted form.
As the photo above shows, the ATS-V.R also wears an aggressive aero kit with a carbon fiber front splitter, and a wing at the back that could probably double as a picnic table in a pinch. The dry weight of the whole package is quoted at about 2,900 pounds, which is around 700 pounds less than the street version.

Cadillac's Butler announces surprise departure

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that Cadillac's vice president of global strategic development, Don Butler, has resigned. Butler has held the position since April, after a term as vice president of US marketing for General Motor's luxury brand.
As the report explains, the timing here is pretty unfortunate for Cadillac. Butler is the third high-profile member of Cadillac's brass to depart in recent months, following the firing of US sales boss Chase Hawkins and the pending departure of Susan Docherty. Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell told the Detroit paper, "Bob [Ferguson]," global boss for Cadillac, "and other leaders asked him to stay on. Don's here in the office today - and told our team that his decision is purely on a personal level. After three years of putting everything into Cadillac, he is stepping away for some personal time, and to consider new avenues in his life."
Butler says his decision is part of a decision to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities." Whatever the reason, it's an unpleasant surprise for Cadillac, which has been on a surge in 2013, with 30-percent jump in sales on the heels of the hot-selling ATS.
