1970 Cadillac Coupe Deville All Original on 2040-cars
Pittsburg, Texas, United States
|
A friend of ours bought this several months ago intending to restore it but his wife said he had too many projects and wanted "that ugly thing out of their yard" so we brought it to our lot to sell for him. The previous owner was a little old lade who purchased the car in 1973 and only drove it to church on Sundays; well maybe a little more than church but not much. Sometime around 1988, the owner was no longer able to drive and the car was parked under a carport until our friend bought from her heir this year. It only shows 9,603 miles (no there is not a digit missing) because, according to the heir, the car was driven very little until it was parked and she doubted that it was ever driven out of Longview. Although he intended to eventually get around to getting the car restored, nobody has attempted to start the car because it still has 26 year old gas in it. A jump box was hooked to the battery, not to start but only to determine that the lights, power windows, wipers, radio etc. all still work. Despite the fact that the vehicle was stored outside, we could not find any rat nests or chewed wiring anywhere inside or out- we didn't even see any wasp nests. Neither the seats nor the top were not kept conditioned but the seats show only minor age related cracking (not even as much as the seats on my 2006 Acura). Unfortunately the Landau top did not fare as well and has major exposure damage and would need to be completely redone. The carpet has no visible wear and the headliner (board?) is in good condition but looks like the glue is finally giving up the ghost and coming down above the rear passenger side. The weather seals around the doors are also old & crumbling. The pointed lenses in the front do work and are intact but each side has a crack in the lens, none of the other lights appear to have any cracks. The passenger side front fender has a few places where the paint has flaked off and minor dent right behind them- almost like it was rubbed against a post the drivers side also has one similar place. The fender flares and hubcaps are in good condition and are being stored in the trunk to keep them from sprouting legs. The car is located at 506 S. Greer Blvd in Pittsburg TX and you are welcome to come check it out. Please feel free to email or call if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them. Our phone numbers are (office) 903.856.1711 or (cell) 903-237-8215. |

Cadillac planning more Vsport models
Wed, 28 Aug 2013There's a new intermediate class of luxury performance cars emerging. Audi has been doing it for years with its S-line bridging the gap, in many cases, between the standard fare and the full-on RS performance range. BMW's getting in on it with the M Sport line slotting in below the full M models. And now Cadillac is joining the fun with its Vsport offerings.
Models like the CTS Vsport and XTS Vsport are packing a new 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 with 410 or more horsepower (along with bigger wheels and brakes) to slot in between the standard model and any impending V variant. Well, it appears Cadillac isn't about to stop there.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Cadillac product chief Hampden Tener revealed that, based on the response to the XTS Vsport, the brand is planning more Vsport models. He did not, however, indicate which would be the next to get the slightly sportier treatment. With the full ATS-V expected to pack a version of the same engine powering the aforementioned XTS and CTS Vsport models, an ATS Vsport would have to pack a smaller engine to fit in below. That only leaves the SRX crossover, Escalade SUV and the upcoming ELR hybrid. Food for thought.
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.
GM winding down Chevrolet brand in Europe
Thu, 05 Dec 2013If you've taken even a cursory look at GM's European strategy and wondered how it can target the market there with both Chevrolet and Opel/Vauxhall, you're not alone. In fact General Motors itself has found it difficult to justify the two-pronged approach. That's why it's essentially pulling Chevy from the European marketplace.
Instead of trying to ply European buyers with what are mostly former Daewoo products rebadged as Chevys, GM will now let Opel (or Vauxhall in the UK) represent its mass-market aspirations. Chevrolet will keep its presence in Russia and other former Soviet markets, and will continue selling certain niche products in Eastern and Western Europe. The Corvette, for example, has long been sold in Europe through Cadillac dealerships, which for its part is currently "finalizing plans for expanding in the European market".
While the shift in strategy is expected to help GM get a stronger foothold in the European market in the long run, in the short term the restructuring will cost it dearly: between $700 million and $1 billion, according to its own estimates, split between the last quarter of this year and the first half of the next.
