The car itself is in excellent condition.Motor runs great.Trans shift smoothly.Great gas mileage.Blue leather interior is in good shape however the driver seat has a separation in a seam, and some foam is hanging out.Stainless steel roof is perfect.Padded vinyl quarter roof is in excellent condition.Rubber bumper extensions are all cracked and broken, however, car comes with replacements.Needs paint job, Hood has surface rust and rear quarters are primered, ready to go.Rear disc brakes need a little work."

I bought this car thinking I was going to pull the engine out of it and use it in a different car.  My plans have changed,  and now I just need the money from selling it. 

This is a very cool car.  1981  was the only model year to come equipped with the V8-6-4  motor.  This motor got bad reputation from people who did not understand it.  It has the ability to shut off 2 or 4 cylinders while cruising down the road.  Do can feel it when this happens,  and because of that, many people felt it was a bad engine.  On the contrary,  these engines are solid as a rock,  and if you happen to find one that still has the ability to shutdown cylinders (like this one)  you will find an amazing savings in gasoline. The dashboard computer which displays MPG,  jumps up by 10 to 12 MPG when the cylinders shutdown.  When you need additional power again,  you simply press the gas pedal down,  and all 8 cylinders  come back to life quicker than any automatic car could downshift. 

Don't miss out on this opportunity to own an amazing piece of Cadillac history!!

Super Cruise will make 2018 Cadillac CT6 semi-autonomous

Mon, Apr 10 2017

General Motors has been working on its semi-autonomous driving system for years. Called Super Cruise, it had initially been slated for a fall 2016 debut. Of course, something as critical to safety as a self-driving system should ideally have the bugs worked out before putting it in the hands of customers, and the launch date had to be pushed back. It appears that Super Cruise is road-ready now, as Cadillac has announced the system will be available in the 2018 CT6 sedan when it goes on sale this fall. Super Cruise offers hands-free driving on the highway, taking control of steering and speed under the supervision of the driver. An attention detection system – a camera and infrared lights that track head position – ensures that the driver is paying attention and is available to take over driving responsibilities. If needed, Super Cruise will initiate a series of nags, including a flashing light bar on the steering wheel, to regain the driver's attention. If the driver is unresponsive, the system can bring the car to a safe stop and use OnStar to call first responders. The system employs a suite of sensors, cameras, and GPS, as well as precision lidar-scanned map database, to place the car where it needs to be on the road and in the center of its lane. It only works if the sensors detect appropriate road conditions, and is limited to the more predictable terrain of divided highways with on- and off-ramps. Yes, it's limited, but safety is paramount, and drivers who spend a lot of time on the highway will appreciate the convenience nonetheless. Related Video:

2014 Cadillac CTS images leak out yet again

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

It seems the 2014 Cadillac CTS just doesn't want to stay under wraps. For the second time in as many days, Caddy's next sedan is showing a bit more sheetmetal than the automaker would like before it is officially debuted tomorrow at the New York Auto Show.
This time, the leak comes from USA Today, and we've gone ahead and added them to our gallery of 2014 CTS images. As you may know, Cadillac will bestow the next CTS with an all-new twin-turbo V6 engine that will offer up an impressive 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
USA Today also mentions a new Vsport model but doesn't give any more details other than the fact that it will boast the twin-turbo engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Of course, all you have to do is come back to these pages for the official unveiling tomorrow afternoon for all the sordid details. In the meantime, check out the images above.
