This thing is a BEAST!!
Its 19 feet long! Weighs 5,000 pounds! Its black and covered in chrome! It has a 7 liter engine generating 480 foot-pounds of torque! IT IS UNREAL! The vehicle in particular is a 1964 Series 60/Fleetwood Cadillac. This is a fairly uncommon vehicle, with some really interesting features: -14,500 were made in the 1964 model year, with a sticker price of $6,366 -It was the final Cadillac year to have fins: The body was transitioning from the spaceship body era of the early 60s to the giant brick body era of the late 60s. -It was the first year for the 7L/429 cubic inch engine, making ~340 hp w/ ~480 ftlb torque -It was also among the first vehicles with the then new GM Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. It offers 3 speeds. The TH series is still more-or-less in use TODAY, and is found in humvees! -A trunk that will fit a half-dozen bodies -Creature-comforts wise, it included an AM radio with retractable antenna, air conditioning (!!!), and an automatic headlight dimmer that would detect on-coming cars, and power windows, locks, and seats. -Seat belts! Now for specifics on this vehicle. I have the title free and clear and in my name. For you out of state shoppers, the windshield wipers, horn, and lights all work. For the most part, the car is in good shape, especially for an unmolested 51 year old! It isn't perfect! There is some body rust and poor body repairs that would need to be addressed before winning any car shows. The window weatherstripping is shot, and the paint-job looks as good as you would expect a 20 year old back yard job to look! If you leave her out in the rain she gets a bad mildew smell. Both the transmission and the power steering like to leak ATF. I've never replaced the windshield wiper blades. The starter solenoid cracked in half and was glued back together. Windshield wiper sprayer is broke and GONE! Windshield is a little frosted. Power locks and power seats don't work. While all the big windows work, the power corner windows are hit-or-miss. The odometer says something like 35000, but I have my doubts about when it worked last (shes low miles for sure, but actual miles ?). AC does not work, and I've never troubleshot it. That being said, she is totally road worthy and a blast to own! I had her out on the interstate today! She has had a lot of work done immediately before and during my ownership. A list of repairs follows: -reupholstered some time around 20 years ago?? -new thermostat and tires (tires probably have less than 1000 miles on them. Effectively new.) -new horn relay and varied windshield wiper linkage repairs -converted to a modern Edelbrock carburetor (note* you can generally expect some hp and torque gains with these new carbs. The ~340hp ~480 ftlb torque is from internet sources on original equipment) -new 'cat-back' equivalent exhaust from GAP automotive -rebuilt brake master cylinder and vacuum booster, and replacement front slave cylinders -new battery, alternator, and voltage regulator (no its not built into the alternator!) -patched floor pan under the drivers feet -JUST FINISHED replacing all fuel supply lines and fuel pump. Also installed filters before and after the pump Also some free stuff is included: new-old-stock muffler, replacement OGPI floor pans, original air cleaner, some empty schlitz bottles, and an old bible! Vehicle actually appears to have the original jack and wrenches for spare tires. Also: a roll of replacement trunk weatherstripping. All told, she is a good machine. Could use some TLC. This beast still has a goddamn frame with no rust/no unibody bs! And she runs like a scalded dog! Now to answer why I am selling: I bought this thing around 3 years ago, but moved 1.5 years ago. While I have a garage at the new place, access is limited and she is anything but practical for me to work on or get out to drive about town (if you come to see her and we take her out, you'll totally understand me! As such I think its time for her to go. I'll eventually move and have a good space for the next project. ** the headliner is fine/doesn't have weird stains. Those weird lines are bright reflections coming off of the door trim. ****For more pics contact me or find my listing on Louisville's Craigslist It is for sale locally, and I do reserve the right to cancel the auction. Winning bidders must submit a $1000 deposit within 48 hours via paypal or other agreed means. Total due on pickup in cash. This vehicle must be out of my hands within 8 calender days of sale. |

Playboy reveals its 2013 Cars of the Year
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Vaunted 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.
J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience
Thu, 29 Nov 2012JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
GM design boss Welburn says Lincoln isn't a Cadillac rival [w/poll]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013General Motors Vice President of Global Design, Ed Welburn, had some dismissive words for a certain cross-town luxury brand during an interview with Car and Driver. When asked about his thoughts on Lincoln, Welburn deflected, before saying, "I don't consider Lincoln to be a competitor for Cadillac."
"They're not a global luxury brand. I don't consider them a competitor. Are they a competitor for Buick? Quite possibly. But not for Cadillac," GM's head designer explained. Welburn, who's been at the helm of GM Design North America since 2003 and is the first to hold the position of VP of Global Design, has been instrumental in the styling renaissance at GM, so predictably, Car and Driver's interview with him focused on the design aspect of cars.
During the interview, Welburn explicitly denied plans for a reborn Cadillac XLR, even as a new Chevrolet Corvette is hitting the market and strides are being made with Cadillac's V-Series performance arm saying, "We have a lot of cars that we're working on for the Cadillac brand. The XLR is not one of them right now."
