1961 Cadillac Convertible
**** NO RESERVE ****
 

Cars History:  About 25 years ago the owner at the time parked the car in his garage because the water pump was leaking. He removed the water pump and bought a replacement that was wrong and never finished the job. The car sat there over the years until it was purchased by a neighbor and then shortly after by myself.

Description: This "barn find" is a very restorable project car and in above average condition for its age in my opinion. The car will be sold on a bill of sale, if you are a US buyer I can help with the documentation for importation as I am familiar with the process.

Body: The body has the usual rust and dents but I consider it decent. I have not had it on a hoist but the rear floor on the drivers side has been patched needs work, a replacement panel is about 70.00 on ebay. The car is blue from factory, it has been repainted and touched up. There is some rust in the rockers one fender skirt is missing the other has rust. Look at the pictures carefully and decide for yourself and feel free to call me for a description of any area you are particularly concerned with.

Mechanical: I hooked a gas can to the fuel line and car started and ran. The transmission went into drive and reverse and the brakes held it while it was in gear. I was not able to run it long without a water pump or drive it, but the engine sounded good and the exhaust was not loud. The car has been parked for a long time and will need to be put through the normal process of fluid changes servicing that would be expected before a proper mechanical assessment can be made.

Interior: The interior is blue leather and in poor condition. I removed the carpet as it was musty and stained, there are no splits in the dash, the drivers door window switches and power seat switch is missing other wise it appears to be complete and original. The leather will need to be completely redone. The top holds out the elements but the stitching is coming loose and will need to be replaced.

Reason for selling: I have several cars and not enough time to complete all the projects I have taken on, as a result some are being sold.

Location: The car is located near Salmon Arm British Columbia. I can help load the vehicle and in many cases I can help arrange shipping. If your looking for a shipping quote I will only do this for the winning bidder as it is very time consuming for me.

The Seller: Although I have 0 feed back, this is a second Ebay account for me, my main account is Maracars with over 700 feed back and 100% positive rating. I've started a new account just for the cars I'm selling for book keeping reasons.

Overall: These cars are rare and desirable, I know this one is a little rough and needs work but this is your chance to buy a Cadillac Convertible for less than you paid for your house and drive while you restore it. The car is 98% complete so you won't have to spend time and money on hard to get parts and I don't think it is far from being a drivable car.

If you have less than 10 feedback call me before you bid or your bid may be canceled.

SCAMMERS: I've heard it all before, don't waste your time or mine.

This car is for sale locally as well so I reserve the right to cancell the auction. If you want to view the car in person or by agent, or if you have any questions give me a call at (250) 515-1110 or send me an email through Ebay.

Thanks for looking.

Wed, 17 Sep 2014

If you are in the market for a luxury coupe but would prefer it to be American, then you are in luck because the configurator for the 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe is now online.
Prices for the Cadillac start at $38,990 (including the $995 destination fee) for the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 272 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, or $46,145 for the 321-hp, 275-lb-ft 3.6-liter V6. Gearbox options include a six-speed manual on some 2.0 models or a six-speed automatic on both of them, and they can be ordered with all-wheel drive for $2,450 to the four-cylinder or $2,600 to the 3.6.
One thing that Cadillac does especially well here is giving customers a plethora of models and options to choose from. Trim level choices include standard, luxury, performance and premium for the four-cylinder or luxury, performance and premium for the V6. There are also 10 colors available, five of which carry an extra premium of $495 or $995. Upgraded interior packages for $1,295 add improved trim and leather, as well.

2020 Cadillac CT4 spy shots reveal sedan-heavy approach in age of SUVs

Thu, Aug 16 2018

You're looking at some pictures of the 2020 Cadillac CT4, which will be smaller than the upcoming CT5. And since they're both smothered in similar-looking camouflage, which is specifically intended to confuse, you might think they look pretty similar. In isolated photos, it's sometimes hard to tell which sedan you're looking at. In fact, when we first saw this car recently, we also thought it was a CT5. Here's how we know they're actually two different cars. Some background: The CT5 is slated to replace the CTS, and to try and find the balance that the old car couldn't achieve in the lineup. Cadillac's former CEO previously stated that this car would also fill in for the ATS, which is on its way out. Whatever it ends up being, it'll have to make a clear case for itself against the CT6 — it can't be too close in size and opulence, or they'll hurt each other in sales. And the CT5 can't be too small, or it will struggle against traditional midsize luxury cars. The CT4 could further complicate matters for the exact same reasons, just in a smaller package. How small can Cadillac make it? It seems poised to replace the wonderful-to-drive ATS, which was as allergic to sales as the XTS. This will give Cadillac a three-sedan lineup: CT4, CT5, and CT6. Let's hope there's enough differentiation between them to prevent consumer confusion and sales cannibalization — and that consumers understand the CT6's promotion via attrition to top dog in the sedan lineup. With all that out of the way, let's look more closely at the CT4 (above left) and CT5 (right). The CT4's greenhouse stops closer to the centerline of the rear wheels than the CT5's. That gives the CT5 a visually longer, leaner look, more of a semi-fastback arrangement. The CT5's rear vanity window should resemble the CT6's, with a glass element behind the door opening. The CT4 will have a more conventional vanity window in the door, like the ATS. Perhaps the quickest "tell" is the size of the side-view mirrors, which are rounder in the CT4 and leaner in the CT5. Out back, the CT4 has a lower cutout for the license plate than the CT5. The exhaust outlets are also different, although that may change for production. Remember, the big full-width rear lights are probably misdirection on the part of the GM camo team. The entire rear decklid of the CT4 has more roundedness to it, while the CT5's extra width gives it more room up top to spread the decklid out a little flatter.

eBay Find of the Day: Ryan Gosling Eldorado from Lost River

Thu, Apr 9 2015

What's better than a car connected to Ryan Gosling? A car connected to Ryan Gosling and Matt Smith (the eleventh Doctor Who for our less nerdy readers). This 1966 Cadillac Eldorado convertible is driven by Smith in Lost River, Gosling's directorial debut. The movie was filmed in Detroit, with plenty of footage at the Packard factory, and the car is located in the nearby enclave of Hamtramck. Truth be told, this car has questionable star appeal and it needs a lot of work. Lost River currently holds a 20% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I've never seen an episode of any Doctor Who – a fact that amazes Seyth Miersma. And while I agree with Kroll Show character Wendell Shawn that Gosling is a "beautiful idiot," that's not enough for me to buy a car with an exhaust leak. The body on this Eldorado looks clean, but there is plenty of restoration work for the next owner. The listing states that most of the exterior and trim needs to be installed, and the front seats are in rough shape. Other details are vague – the carburetor "might need to be rebuilt" and the radiator and fan "may need to be replaced" but neither statements explain why. On the upside, the 340 horsepower (gross rating), 429 cubic inch V8 runs well. Reserve is not met at the current price of $4,000, but this could be a chance to get a classic '60's convertible for cheap.
