1962 Cadillac Coupe Deville Convertible on 2040-cars

Year:1962 Mileage:0
Location:

I am selling my 1962 Cadillac Coupe DeVille convertible. This is a beautifully restored classic. It has a brand new Starfire White Pearl paint job with all rechromed parts, including the bumpers and all grille pieces. The dash was and bumpers were completely taken apart and rechromed as well. The grille pieces were all sand blasted and powdercoated for protection and a very clean look. It still has all of the original pieces and emblems that were also rechromed. The convertible top is brand new with all new cylinders, switch, pump and hoses. It has a brand new windshield and all the other glass is there with no cracks. The interior is two tone white and black with new carpet kit throughout, new cushions, and door panels. There are brand new 20 inch rims with new 245-45-20 tires. Brakes are 100% redone including all 4 wheel cylinders, 4 hoses, master cylinder, bearing, shoes and resurfaced drums. Also has 4 new shocks and this classic just got an alignment. I also put in new U-joints which is a three piece. The engine was completely gone through and repaired- New fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor, rear main seal, valve cover gaskets including powder coated black valae cover and air filter housing. All new belts, power steering hose, rebuilt carburetor, rebuilt water pump, all new fluids and new battery. The transmission was 100% rebuilt ORIGINAL! Also has new wiring harness.

Only TOP OF THE LINE work done on this classic!

This car runs and drives great! It needs a couple little things to be 100% finished but nothing major. The wiring harness needs to be ran to the brake lights and headlights. Also the back window switched are new and work great but the chrome on the glass frames in the rear weren't rechromed. The driver side multi switch dosent work but you can still get the windows up an down because they still have power going to them. The pigtail is wired and ready to just plug in the switch for that issue! the other moldings and pieces left to finish the look of the exterior, and the rechromed parts for the steering wheel. You can tell in the pictures the minor things that need to be finished. I have over 40k into this car and hate to sell it but I have no choice.

I have had many classic cars and this is one of my favorites. I am not selling this classic because of any problems with the car, I just don't have the space for it anymore.

HAPPY BIDDING AND GOOD LUCK!!

2014 Cadillac XTS gets 410-hp twin-turbo V6

Tue, 14 May 2013

General Motors told us so back in March, but it is now official: The twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 announced for the 2014 Cadillac CTS will also join the options list for the 2014 Cadillac XTS. The LF3 engine puts out 410 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque in the XTS, however, which is 10 hp and 61 lb-ft down from its application in the CTS. It will be identifiable from the outside by a specific grille treatment and a badge on the decklid. The 3.6-liter V6 with 304 hp and 264 lb-ft holds steady as the standard engine, and both will be yoked to a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
Also new for the front-wheel drive model for 2014 are updates that include electric power steering and optional Automatic Parking Assist that can maneuver the sedan into parallel parking spots. The three trims above standard - Luxury, Premium and Platinum - get Intellibeam headlights that automatically switch between high- and low-beam,
The four current trim levels remain but the list of optional extras for the higher specs grows with a rear-seat entertainment system equipped with DVD screens in the front seatbacks, memory settings for the front passenger seat and an armrest in the back seat fitted with radio and sunshade controls. The press release below has more info on all of the changes.

GM recalling 54k Cadillac SRX, HD pickup models

Thu, 01 May 2014

There are more recalls to report General Motors, but these latest actions pertain to newer examples of the Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD. With so much scrutiny on the company's recall strategy, GM is under increasing pressure to call in defective models more quickly, and it appears to be doing so here.
Here in the US, the automaker is recalling 50,571 Cadillac SRX crossovers from the 2013 model year fitted with the 3.6-liter V6 because the transmission control module programming can cause a three- or four-second lag in acceleration at low speeds. The explanation filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states, "if the following sequence occurs within two seconds: during an upshift from first to second gear (8-10 mph), the driver then brakes the vehicle to less than 5 mph, and then accelerates again," the delay can occur. According to Automotive News, the recall effects 56,400 vehicles worldwide, and the company is not aware of any crashes caused by the problem. The fix consists of a transmission control module (TCM) reflash.
In a separate recall, GM is repairing 51 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD pickups from the 2015 model year in the US. In vehicles with diesel engines and dual fuel tanks, the nuts that connect the fuel pipe to each side of the transfer pump between the tanks may be improperly torqued, which could cause a fuel leak. Obviously, this could be a fire hazard. The remedy is simply tightening the hardware. According to GM spokesperson Alan Adler, there have been no fires actually caused by the potential leak. "Only 21 of the trucks are in customer possession and they can be fixed anytime because there are no parts involved. The others are being fixed at dealerships," Adler said in an email to Autoblog.

Cadillac confirms CT8/CT9 flagship, ELR successor

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

Cadillac has certainly been a hot topic as of late, what with Johan de Nysschen now running the joint, moving its headquarters to New York, and overhauling the company's naming structure (only to later publicly defend all of these drastic decisions). Now, looking ahead, de Nysschen is already revealing some details about what's in store for the future, including a raft of new products that include a large, long-wheelbase Mercedes-Benz S-Class rival positioned above the recently announced CT6, along with a successor to the slow-selling ELR coupe.
In an interview with Reuters, de Nysschen says his company has "just signed off on" a new flagship tipped to be called CT8 or CT9. It will compete with the long-wheelbase versions of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series, and should come to market by the end of this decade.
Among other news, the South African executive said a followup to the ELR plug-in hybrid is in development, though it may not be a two-door coupe like the current car. That's not necessarily a bad thing, since the ELR has garnered nothing but slow sales and poor reviews since its launch.
