1964 Cadillac Convertible Rare Sierra Gold 429 Last Year Of The Fins Low Reserve on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
Hello and Thank You for viewing my auction. I am listing this beautiful vehicle today for a friend who wants to sell this to help with his new business venture. If you are viewing this auction you already know what this vehicle is and how collectible the 1964 is. I have owned a couple of 1964's myself and they are beautiful cars! The 1964 is the last year of the "classic" style with the fins and the first year of the "429" v8 engine making 340 horsepower and making it a unique one year model. Although the 1963 looked similar it carried the older "390" v8 engine instead of the new 429. This car is a very rare color combination as well with the Sierra Gold (code 46) exterior and a contrasting light sandalwood interior. The vehicle is very solid and I have personally driven around in it myself and it is a traffic stopper! It is also a factory a/c car which is all intact and was working about 5 months ago but he can not recall if it still blows cold or not. The top works flawlessly as well. The vehicle is in "driver condition" meaning you can drive it as it is and it is will draw crowds everywhere you go and it is very presentable in its current condition. You could also take it to the next level and give this vehicle the full restoration it deserves. The original carburetor was recently rebuilt by a reputable shop here in Jacksonville Florida. He has priced the reserve at a very low price to sell quickly. International bidders are encouraged to bid and we do have a port here in Jacksonville Florida. I have a friend who I have personally used to ship a few vehicles "RORO" service on a ship whom gives me great rates if you need a rate price please let me know. You can feel free to contact the owner and his name is Leo 904 651 2614 for any further questions. I have included some information from Hagerty collector car values to give you and idea of what a great value this is. This company has been around for along time and does not "over inflate" the prices of vehicles and you can actually go and look at charts they include to show value growths over a period of time. He has priced the reserve in the "number 4" condition price range. There are many qualities on this that are "number 3" condition like newer paint etc. There are things on this vehicle that make it better than a "number 4" like for instance..it does not have a cracked dash and there are no missing pieces. So where most people would describe it as a "number 3" vehicle I like to under promise and over deliver and have a happy new owner! To sum it all up..if you are looking for the $70,000 fully restored convertible, please move on to the next vehicle because this is not it. If you are looking for a nice looking driver that you can tinker with and make perfect one day then BID! The value on these old converible's is climbing quickly and a far better investment than anything out there right now from stocks to bonds because they simply do not make them any longer! Title is clean and will be transferred when the transaction is finalized. I can help load onto transport truck but all transportation fees are the responsibility of the buyer. Don't let this deal pass you by..Good Luck and Happy Bidding!
The average value for this vehicle is:
$25,388*

2014 Cadillac XTS gets 410-hp twin-turbo V6
Tue, 14 May 2013General 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.
Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
Cadillac ATS to go racing in 2015 as CTS.V.R replacement
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Cadillac has been racking up victories with the CTS.V.R in Pirelli World Challenge racing for two model generations now, including recent GT class championships in 2012 and 2013. However, even winning racers eventually have to retire, and it looks like the CTS may be taking a bow at the end of the season. In its place, Caddy is reportedly working on a new racecar based on the ATS Coupe, and it might even get to compete internationally.
According to Racer, Pratt & Miller Engineering is leading the development and is already lapping the ATS racecar in Michigan for testing. It reportedly drops the CTS' V8 in favor of a twin-turbocharged V6 powering the rear wheels. Since this is the same team behind the hugely successful Corvette Racing program and the current CTS.V.R, the latest car appears to be in good hands.
The new model would also adhere to GT3 rules, according to Racer, and that might signal a big change for Cadillac's motorsports program. It means that the ATS could be sold to teams in the numerous series around the world that accept these vehicles. That would broaden the luxury coupe's exposure and put it up against GT3 racecars from premium brands, like Bentley, Porsche and McLaren. If it wins, the change could be a marketing bonanza for the brand.
