Bloomfield, New Jersey, United States
Up For Auction; Very nice and very rare 1983 Cadillac Eldorado Touring Coupe. 62,000 original miles. The Touring Coupe (TC) was introduced in 1982 as a "drivers" Eldorado, with a firmer suspension, bucket seats and console, special aluminum wheels, body color trim, and no vinyl top. Only 1197 were built in 1983 out of 67,416 total Eldorado production. Only 4300 TC's were built in the 4 year run, out of nearly 275,000 Eldorado's. This TC is in very nice condition for it's age. Very little restoration work is needed to bring this one back to showroom condition. The body is very nice and straight, with only some minor rust bubbles along the cornering lamps, see pics. The rest of the body and paint is nice with the usual nicks and chips from use, but no rust. Glass is all nice, no cracks and just a minor scratch on the windshield near the bottom left corner, not in the field of view. The frame, floorboards, and trunk floor are rust free. The chrome on the bumpers is faded, but most of the other trim is body color. The car is very presentable as is. The interior needs a little attention. The front drivers bucket seat is worn, and needs to be recovered. The passenger seat has wear, but is otherwise intact. The rear seats are in very good condition. The door panels are nice, with the driver's side showing a small crack in the armrest area, difficult to photograph. The dash pad has no cracks and is in excellent condition. The rare center console is very nice, with no cracks. The headliner is sagging just a little in the rear. Overall, a very nice driver quality Touring Coupe that you can enjoy as is and then attend to the issues over the winter. It's loaded too. Full power, windows , door locks, both seats, power moonroof, and electric mirrors. Cruise control, tilt & telescopic wheel, twilight sentinel, trip computer, digital dash, power trunk, and aluminum wheels w/ four wheel disc brakes.

Next-gen Cadillac CTS-Vs caught in parking lot
Thu, 10 Jan 2013A pair of camouflaged Cadillac CTS prototypes were spotted, and thankfully photographed, outside a grocery store in Southern California. From the image above - there are plenty more if you click over to TotalCarScore.com - it appears these could be testers for the 2014 CTS-V, but that is just speculation. We've seen the obvious "V" motif in the grille before, and there's what could be another "V" in the design of the side mirrors.
The hood on the car in the background appears to include two bulges, but the single shot that affords a tiny peek under the hood shows reveals only the airbox. Plenty of rumors, and the sight of an engine cover inscribed with the words "Twin Turbo," have caused people to wonder if a twin-turbo V6 will live under the production car's hood instead of the V8 currently there. In back, instead of the round tailpipes found outboard on all the CTS sedans, there's a pair of integrated tips in a parallelogram shape. A new shifter with contrasting stitching was spied in the cabin.
If predictions hold up it will arrive later this year. When it does, expect the body underneath all that camo to be softer on the eye compared to the current car - less science and more art. For now, hit the link to see more spy shots of what's coming.
Online Find Of The Day: 2008 Cadillac XLR picks up where Excalibur left off
Thu, 23 May 2013We try very, very hard to keep snark away from creations like the one you see here. After all, someone poured plenty of enthusiasm, time and money into turning a 2008 Cadillac XLR into a modern interpretation of the new-old cars typically done by cottage builders like Excalibur and Clénet. Even so, it's hard not to wince when you set an eye on this machine. With its wheelbase stretched to accommodate the extra bodywork, goofy sidewalls and upkicked nose (examine it in profile, it looks slightly bent in the middle), this "neoclassic" takes whatever was loveable about the Cadillac underneath and buries it in a tacky grave.
Miraculously, the engine bay has been left unmolested, which means the retractable hardtop convertible still features a 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engine good for 320 horsepower. If only that were enough to outrun its shame. If, for some reason, you feel like taking this thing home, Harry Kaufmann Motorcars of Milwaukee says it can be yours for a paltry $74,998. We wish were joking. Check it out here.
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.
