Description:

You are bidding on a '61 Cadillac Coupe Deville 2 Door Hardtop. CLEAR North Carolina Title in my name, on hand.
Custom fitted with a Chevy 350 with Edelbrock carburetor, 2 speed power glide automatic transmission (which both have been rebuilt) and 12 bolt Chevy rear end!
Custom floor mount auto shifter.

This car has factory power windows, power steering, and power brakes with front disc conversion.
The door handles and locks have been shaved, as well as the trunk lock with trunk release switch wired up near the dash.

The dash was completely disassembled and repainted gloss black by a professional local body shop. The dash pad was stripped, re-padded, and recovered by Helms Auto trim.
New carpet kit installed. The front seat was replaced with a like new oem seat wrapped in black and white vinyl. 

Headlights, brake lights, and tail lights all work. 

This car has a rust free body, and only some rust (Swiss cheese) in the trunk pan outer portions. The floor pans have been replaced with molded fiberglass sections. (will not rust again)

The exterior is primer with some house of kolor blue paint added to give it a flat Carolina blue look.

I do have a hand full of parts in the trunk including a lot of the removed chrome pieces.

Things I do know the car still needs:
A nice set of wheels and tires.
Exhaust is needed manifolds back.
Door panels, headliner, rear dash cover, rear seat recovered to match front seat.
Drivers wheel skirt installed.
Only thing hooked up after installing the new dash is the ignition, speedo, and headlight switch. All else needs to be hooked up. (other gauges, heater controls etc.)
A couple windows are cracked.
New weather stripping.
Wiper arms
Brake booster either isn't getting enough vacuum or is getting weak.
No door poppers installed, to open doors you stick hand in threw the vent window and pull the interior handle.
Transmission dipstick tube seal ($5 less than 30 mins to fix)
Install the seat belts if you want them (included)
Power window switch installed (new one included)

I have over $7k invested in this car. I put a buy it now price because if I don't, people will flood my email asking a price. So there it is....
The Reserve is a fair amount lower than that.

I do not recommend driving this car on busy roads or long distance until good tires are installed and the exhaust is installed. As well as the brakes getting adjusted.

Playboy reveals its 2013 Cars of the Year

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Vaunted men's magazine Playboy knows that its readers are nearly as interested in cars as they are in the female anatomy... sorry, we thought we could write that with a straight face. Anyway, the buff-book does occasionally fill some of its spreads with sexy metal, to accent all the rest of the sexiness.
To wit, the magazine has unveiled its feature on the 2013 Cars of the Year. Without giving us much in the way of criteria for the awards, nor a clear framing of the categories ("Responsible Ride" is a particularly challenging concept, especially when you consider that the Mazdaspeed3 was the winner), Playboy has nevertheless highlighted what we assume to be it's favorite 12 or 13 (depending on how you count) cars from the 2013 model year.
Headlining the class is the Porsche 911, which Playboy writers single out for having "remarkable electronic voodoo." BMW M5 is named "Slickest Sports Sedan" though the Cadillac ATS then follows on because "we couldn't resist giving the new Caddy a shout-out." The rest of the picks are pretty conventional (save, perhaps, the Honda Fit EV as "Ace Electric"), even if the categories and methodology are fairly wonky. Cruise through or gallery for a taste or check out the full list, here. The site is safe for work, and you can legitimately (this time) say that you were reading it for the articles.

Cadillac V-Series Academy comes to Las Vegas [w/video]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

General Motors has added another high-speed education course to the curriculum at the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. The desert track already hosts the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School with Chevrolet Corvettes, including the ZR1, and they've just added the Cadillac V-Series Academy.
Open now, the one- and two-day performance driving school teaches "the finer points of high performance driving" using the 556-horspower instructional aids known as the CTS-V sedan, coupe and wagon. This is different than than using the CTS-V at the Monticello Motor Club on the east coast - that's part of a sponsorship deal that Cadillac has with the track. The driving course at the Motorsports Ranch is its own program that was developed by Fellows, and we have no reason to think the Cadillac edition won't be just as thorough and enjoyable as the one with Corvettes.
Unlike the 'Vette edition, however, it doesn't appear that you get an invitation to the program if you buy a CTS-V model. Classes are capped at 12 participants and run $1,295 for a single day, $2,295 for two days. There are a video and a press release below with more info.
