1965 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special Hardtop 4-door 7.0l on 2040-cars
Scottsdale, Arizona, United States
This auction is for a true survivor car! This in the wrapper Caddy is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. I purchased this piece of American Prestige form an 86 years young gentleman who owned it for several years but barley took it out of the garage as the original A box mileage of 53k will support.It was originally purchased by a funeral parlor and used for processions throughout the 70s.the original black leather interior looks to be barely sat on,the black vinyl top is absolutely like showroom condition. The paint on the car is nice ,I would rate it an 8 on a 1-10, mainly due to a small ding on the trunk lid,said to be caused by a small step ladder falling against it while in storage. Barley a dent but paint is missing about 2 square inches or less.i had it towed to my mechanic where he pulled the entire fuel system and boiled the tank,rebuilt the carb ,blew out all of the lines. I also had it completely tuned up and all the fluids changed. I had the brakes gone through and fluid flushed.
It seemed to run and drive perfectly but I felt the front end was a bit loose so I had the front end rebuilt and aligned .I have been driving this car daily to make sure she is perfect and now hate to part with it. I get compliments everywhere I go. People that aren't even car people recognize true style. I would take this car across country today with no reservations what so ever. I have all original documentation including owners manual,service records,& original bill of sale.My original intent for this car was to build a restmod including air ride,big disc brake conversion,and big custom wheels,however I can't bring myself to ruin it.I know there is someone out there who will truly appreciate my decision to pass it on. I am available for any questions you may have if I missed something @602-329-4488 Hopefully my pics speak for themselves but I can send additional if necessary.Thanks for looking and good luck! |

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Opel director Sedran to succeed Docherty as Chevy Europe boss
Wed, 26 Jun 2013When longtime General Motors executive Susan Docherty announced she would be stepping down from her post as the head of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe, there was some idle chatter that plans for the creation of a new global overseer position for the Bowtie brand was behind the move. And while US sales chief Alan Batey has indeed assumed control of Chevy worldwide since her departure announcement, Docherty's vacancy is being filled after all, with Opel chief strategist Thomas Sedran taking up the reins.
That's according to Automotive News, who reports that Sedran will be tasked with pulling Chevy out of a sales funk, much of it pegged on Europe's stagnant auto industry, which has sunk to a 20-year low. AN notes that Chevy's EU sales plunged 32 percent to 57,584 units through the first five months of 2013, but the everyday value brand is faring worlds better than Cadillac, which has sold just 167 units in Europe over the same time period.
Sedran, 48, has been in the auto industry for over 20 years. Most recently, at Opel he had been working on long-term plans for the marque, and was appointed to the brand's management board in April of last year. Prior to joining GM, Sedran was employed as a management consultant for AlixPartners, where he worked closely with Opel for six years. Sedran will assume his new duties beginning July 1.
GM recalling 524k vehicles over hood latches and toe link nuts
Fri, 03 Oct 2014Just hours after confirming to Autoblog its intention to recall 97,540 vehicles in the US (117,651 in North America) for a possible manufacturing defect in the chassis control module of several models, General Motors is issuing two more campaigns that affect another 379,401 units in the US (524,384 in North America).
One campaign covers 290,107 US examples of the 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX and the 2011-2012 Saab 9-4X because the "rear toe link adjuster lock nuts" may be improperly torqued. If not up to spec, the toe adjuster link could separate and allow the wheel to shift while driving, making the handling unstable. GM says that it knows of three crashes and two injuries as a result of this problem. Dealers are inspecting the nuts and installing a new link assembly, if necessary. Autoblog first reported about this potential issue when it showed up on a list of recalls from Transport Canada.
The second recall is for 89,294 examples of the 2013-2015 Chevrolet Spark in the US manufactured from January 17, 2012, through July 29, 2014. According to GM, "corrosion can cause the secondary hood latch striker to stick in the open position." If this happens, and the primary latch also isn't engaged for some reason, the hood could fly open while driving. About 13,000 of these affected Sparks are at dealers and are being held until repaired. The fix requires replacing the hood striker. GM isn't aware of crashes, injuries or fatalities caused by this problem.
