Ultra rare, fully restored, nicely customized and hotroded 1956 Cadillac DeVille for sale. This is the car of cars. A CADILLAC! Here you have ultra-rare opportunity to buy a gorgeous restomoded Cadillac with brand new, high output Cad 500ci 8.2L engine matted to a Cadillac-long-shaft Turbo 400 automatic transmission. One-of-One – no other exactly like this for sale.
If there is one thing Cadillac owners wished they had in their cars, it would be more power. And that’s exactly what you are getting with this big block V8 500ci motor. Plenty more! As they say, there’s no replacement for displacement. This power house is a torque monster. It moves this large and heavy car with absolute ease. People are shocked how fast this large car takes off.
Southern California original car = zero rust! I have 2007 title with these license plates which proves it NEVER left the state. it’s been wonderfully preserved and totally unmolested to begin with. All original panels and floors. Plus, it has been fully restored in the last 2 years. Restoration included body and paint, full interior {less door panels in great shape}, full exterior trim, engine swap to ‘70s big block Cad 500ci engine with matching long-shaft Cadillac Turbo 400 transmission. Professionally lowered in front and back, its sits just right and rides smooth, yet precise. Super light power steering. Monster power brakes {stops like my Porsche}. Car was originally white {only remnants of that can be seen inside trunk area}, it’s been professionally repainted to this gorgeous, vibrant blue metallic in 2012. Buffed to smooth, glass-like finish. Not a single scratch and that’s saying something on a large car like this. This car is simply beautiful. It has charisma if you will. It’s a car of cars, a Cadillac. Everybody knows it and everybody knows it’s rare. Most people would say it’s like new. Vast majority of stainless trim has been removed for paint and repolished . Seals on windshield and rear glass are brand new. Door and trunk seal have been replaced as well sometime in recent past and are in perfect shape. All chrome except door handles has been redone just a few months ago. Looks stunning. all in all, 99.5% of all trim , stainless and chrome, has been redone and is like new. And this car has a lot of it. High $$$$ worth and it’s all done. Brand new headliner, brand new carpet, brand new seat covers, bran new package tray, brand new Coker tires in 2014. Steering rebuilt, power brakes rebuilt, suspension rebuilt and lowered. New full length exhaust with turn downs {not through the rear bumper anymore}.
Now the fun part – the engine conversion. The reason there’s only a handful of these out in the world is simple – it’s very costly and very labor intensive. If someone has the courage and funds to do this big upgrade, they usually keep the car until they die. This is very rare opportunity to purchase the car finished, turn key condition. The original 365 V8 was not up to the task of ‘fast and loud’. Donor motor was found locally. It was pulled in good running condition, but has been fully rebuilt in the last 3 months. I have $9000 in this engine alone. Wayne’s engines of Riverside did the short block with brand new, complete rotating assembly WITH crankshaft {super hard to find}. Comes with 12 months/12000 miles warranty on parts and labor. Block alone cost $2500{you can build entire Chevy motor for that!}. Heads redone by Precision Cylinder Heads of Lake Forest. Motor highly upgraded with Cad500 alluminum oil pan, Gold series Special chassis oil pump, Edelbrock aluminum intake, new Edelbrock carburetor, ton of chrome engine accessories. Intake additionally custom polished by New Year Metal of Santa Ana. They also did all the chrome and polishing on this car.. You open the hood and it’s all eye-candy from there. Just gorgeous combination of color, polished aluminum and chrome. Super clean, brand new. Period. Custom aluminum radiator fitted in front of the cross member with custom-made overflow tank and aluminum covers. All polished to perfection and show look. Delta PAG digital brushless fan blade installed – it’s the only fan on the market certified to pull what its rated at. Best warranty in fan business - 3 years. The Cadillac-only long shaft Turbo 400 transmission has been also rebuilt and has a brand new torque convertor. It’s absolutely smooth in every rmp range, in every gear plus it’s very responsive with down shifts. Great performing, bulletproof transmission. It allows for great performance driving if need be while providing excellent cruising capability. Long story short, to find another car like this is nearly impossible. Nothing compares, simply. It’s the car of cars, a Cadillac. Known by everyone as ‘the cut above the rest’. Looks like million bucks. Gets huge attention everywhere. People are getting out of their windows to show thumbs up. To restore one to this condition is enormously expensive and time consuming. And that's assuming you can find a restorable car. Majority of project cars out there should not be consider 'restorable' but rather 'salvageable' at best. SoCal cars are again, cut above the rest in their preserved conditions. Apples and oranges by comparison.
If you wish to purchase this car, make sure you watch the video and see all of the pictures before contacting me. I made the listing self-explanatory to deal with serious buyers ONLY. If you know anything about cars, you should know what you’re looking at. If you do have more questions, contact me at 949-491-433O. I’ll gladly talk to you about the car. It’s to be considered fully restored with only minor stuff left to play with, such as sticking window switch on driver front window {all windows go up and down great}, horn {which had to be eliminated to allow space for the huge aluminum radiator), radio {which has received two new power antennas and is wired but not operational), front seat electric motor not connected properly after the upholstery {worked prior to that}, correct speedo cable. As restored as it is, there's always room for more. If you assume to buy a classic car and not do anything to it for 10 years, I suggest you stay away from classic cars, because there's always something that needs attention here and there. But the big, expensive stuff is done. I have a ton of additional video from building the motor and all the footage is included in the sale as necessary part of this car's history. Offers are welcome but nothing ridiculous - anything bellow a certain number gets automatically declined before it gets to me for consideration. If you can't pay what it's worth then you are welcome to do it yourself :) Standard with most classic vehicles, the car is sold as-is with no warranty. Title in hand. Listed with brokers outside of eBay - I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Volvo and GM team with Amazon for in-car deliveries
Tue, Apr 24 2018Volvo and GM are the first automakers to pair their vehicles with a new service from Amazon that lets owners have their packages delivered inside their cars, without them having to be there. The service will initially be rolled out in 37 U.S. cities at no extra charge to Amazon Prime members with a Volvo On Call or OnStar account, and it works with same-day, two-day and standard shipping. It's intended as an alternative for people who don't want to risk having their package stolen from their front porch or receive deliveries at their workplace, and both automakers say it's an example of how they're embracing innovation as a way to make their customers' lives easier. Volvo released a video (above) showing how the service works. Users download the Amazon Key App (or " Ama-zin," as the narrator pronounces it) and link their Amazon Prime account with their Volvo On Call account — or OnStar, in the case of GM-branded vehicles. Once they register their delivery location in a publicly accessible location, users can select the "In-Car" option at checkout. They get a notification when the delivery is en route and once it's completed and the car is relocked. Volvo has been offering in-car delivery in certain European countries since 2015 through its Volvo On Call platform, which enables services like the ability to send calendar-based navigation destinations directly to the vehicle, find nearby gas stations and help locate the vehicle when you forget where you parked it. Volvo says the platform is now available in roughly 50 countries and covers more than 90 percent of its global sales. The service is compatible with 2015 or newer Volvo, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. Volvo says it's available to the majority of Volvo owners, while GM says more than 7 million vehicle owners can qualify. The service is expected to roll out to more cities later. You can check eligibility at amazon.com/keyincar. Related Video: Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Volvo Technology Infotainment Amazon connected car volvo on call e-commerce
2016 Cadillac CT6 has arrived
Wed, Apr 1 2015We have known for a while that the 2015 New York Auto Show would mark the debut of Cadillac's latest flagship model. But after months of waiting as Caddy slowly revealed details, the 2016 Cadillac CT6 has finally arrived. The sedan is a technological tour de force for the brand and inaugurates a long list of new technologies. The CT6 will begin production at the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly plant in late 2015 and will go on sale with three engine options. Caddy won't release final figures yet, but based on preliminary numbers, we know the base 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder will make 265 horsepower. Stepping up to the newly revised 3.6-liter V6 will net buyers an estimated 335 hp, and finally there will be the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with an output of around 400 hp. All of these engines will be mated to eight-speed automatic transmissions, and six-cylinder models will get standard all-wheel drive that will be able to constantly vary the power sent to the front wheels. Carrying those powertrains is the new, aluminum-intensive Omega architecture. In addition to the lightweight metal making up the platform, the entire exterior also uses it to provide an estimated curb weight of less than 3,700 pounds. The decision to shed mass makes the CT6 a featherweight in its class – for comparison, the lightest, six-cylinder Audi A8 weighs 4,365 pounds. The sedan rides on a 122.4-inch wheelbase and is 204 inches long. That makes the Cadillac about 1.3 inches shorter than the smallest BMW 7 Series, but the Caddy is projected to tip the scales at less than both the big Bimmer and even the 5 Series, too. Cadillac wants the CT6 to be a luxury sedan that drivers can enjoy. In addition to the low weight, there's an available Active Chassis System throughout the range with rear-wheel steering and Magnetic Ride Control. When combined with the all-wheel-drive system, it means every corner of the car is both driving and steering the vehicle. Inside, the CT6 offers a ton of tech and luxury. Drivers are held in massaging, leather seats, and rear passengers also get adjustable chairs that are heated and cooled. Quad-zone climate controls keep everyone comfortable. Plus, in addition to the 34-speaker Bose audio system and streaming rearview mirror, there are features like a 10.2-inch CUE infotainment system with a capacitive touchscreen and console-mounted touchpad. The display also shows a 360-degree view outside and can even record video when the security system is activated.
GM's redesigned full-size 2021 SUVs face delay over coronavirus
Tue, Mar 31 2020As General Motors works to conserve cash for the coronavirus pandemic, the automaker reportedly told suppliers that it is postponing development of several future vehicles. The situation may cause GM to delay the launch of the 2021 Cadillac Escalade, GMC Yukon, Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevrolet Suburban SUVs, which had been planned to roll out in April. The original launch plan for the redesigned full-size SUVs, which are some of the most profitable vehicles produced by GM, had called for production of the current models to end at its plant in Arlington, Texas, this week. After a retooling process, the redesigned SUVs were slated to begin production late in the month of April. In an email to suppliers viewed by Reuters and confirmed as authentic by GM, the automaker also said it was suspending development work on six future vehicle programs, including updates of the Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain, Cadillac XT4, Bolt EV, Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM said preproduction work on those programs would be pushed back to calendar year 2021, with most of the updated vehicles scheduled to be launched as 2022 models. According to the Detroit News, work has also been paused on the Chevy Camaro and a future version of the Corvette that has yet to be unveiled and wasn't planned for production during the 2020 calendar year. Last week, the automaker told employees and suppliers it was delaying work on some future vehicles while pushing ahead with near-term models such as its redesigned full-size SUVs and the GMC Hummer EV, Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Bolt EUV and Cruise Origin, as well as its new Ultium battery system. A GM spokesman who spoke with Reuters reiterated on Monday what the automaker had said last week — that the situation with its U.S. plants was "fluid" and that the automaker would "continue to evaluate" whether and when to reopen those plants on a week-by-week basis, with "employee safety" guiding that decision. GM said previously that it was closing most of its U.S. plants indefinitely. In its Monday email, GM asked suppliers to stop work on all pre-production tooling and pre-production parts manufacturing, but also not to dispose of any tooling or materials. GM told Reuters it had solicited volunteers from its workforce to finish the build-out of the current SUVs on a single shift in Arlington.
