This auction is for a 1960 Cadillac 4 Door Deville Pillarless Hard Top. It has its original 390 V-8 (56,000 actual miles), Automatic Trans, Power Steering, Power Brakes (master brake cylinder not building pressure so brakes are not working), Power Windows and Power Seat. It basically was an all original car that the prior owner was driving on special occasions until he parked it 12 years ago. He told me prior to that he had purchased it from the original owner in Mass. It needed some body work down low so he had that repaired and a paint job done back then. Due to poor storage the old repair shows. There is a lot of paint peelage that has been brushed touched. The main floor section is all intact but there are spots here and there that are starting to show through. Drivers side inner rocker is rusted out and one of the floor braces between the 2 doors on the drivers side is rusted out also. I cleaned out the original matting in the trunk. The floor is intact but is getting thin. Im sure all this can be saved if you want to take the time. Depends on how nice you want to make it. The overall outside of the body is decent. Some old repair on the bottom of front fenders and lower rear quarters showing. Roof has a small dent on drivers side. The hood on the car is rusty and needs replaced. It does open and close fine but is rough. I installed a boat tank as an optional fuel source just in case the tank had dirt, cleaned the points and the car fired right up. Motor runs real nice! I did notice the water pump is a little noisy but is not leaking. Power steering works beautiful. Transmission goes in all the gears. I did take the master brake cylinder off, cleaned it out, got it working but only for a few tries. It is not building pressure so it needs replacement. If this is a concern for shipping we can get a new master cylinder and get the brakes working at an additional cost. The interior in the car is all intact and not too bad of shape. Two cracks in the dash pad, head liner is good and the carpets need to be thrown out. They are hardend and have a musty smell. I tried the lights, windows and seat etc and everything worked. The radio is in the trunk and I do have the front parking light housing trims. They are in nice shape. Five good wide white wall tires. Would be a great project 60's era car to fix up or an excellent parts car. We have prior New Hampshire registration and proper dealer transfer forms for a smooth transaction. Selling at NO RESERVE. Please be serious in your bids. We require a $500 non refundable deposit within 24 hours of auctions end. Take a look at my other auctions we have listed.

2013 Cadillac XTS [w/video]
Wed, 30 Jan 2013The Cadillac Of Stopgaps
As confusing as most alphanumeric car names have gotten in recent years, at least one constant has been that the letter "X" is generally indicative of a crossover. Then why did General Motors use this letter on its new 2013 Cadillac XTS luxury sedan? Well, for that, we'll have to look to the world of mathematics where "X" stands for an unknown variable or a placeholder. Now we're talking. The XTS is just an interim product sitting at the top of Cadillac's four-door food chain until the brand gets a true flagship in place. That sounds like a lot of resources to spend on what will likely be a one-and-done model, but the automaker needed to get something - anything - to replace the DTS.
So here you have the 2013 XTS. A big luxury sedan that was created to bridge the gap between Cadillac's recent past and its pending future. Going into our week with this XTS knowing that it was a stopgap measure proved to be both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, we know (or hope) that this car will act as a baseline for future high-end Cadillac models, but at the same time, we couldn't help but be mindful of past stopgap models, albeit in more entry-level segments, like the Cimarron and Catera.
Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information.
How GM's grueling 24-hour test gets the kinks out of its performance cars
Tue, 27 Aug 2013One of the biggest challenges automakers face when designing a high-performance car is making sure that it is both fast and reliable. For General Motors, any car that might be taken to the track by its owner - like the Corvette, Camaro Z/28 (shown above) and the Cadillac CTS-V, for example - undergoes a rigorous and strenuous 24-hour test by engineers at the Milford Proving Grounds, as pointed out by Car and Driver.
We've posted on this topic in the past - on a video showing the Camaro ZL1 being brutalized, for instance - but this article gives a more in-depth look at what actually happens behind the scenes... including what that poor ZL1 went through. Though the test isn't for 24 hours straight, the cars are pushed as hard as possible by some of GM's best drivers with only the brakes and tires replaced frequently.
We don't want to ruin the fun for you, but it is an interesting article that tells just some of what GM does to develop its sports cars. Check out the full article over at Car and Driver for the rest of the story.
