You are viewing my 1968 Cadillac Eldorado with a 472 cu in engine rated at 375 horsepower and automatic transmission. This car also comes with disc brakes that became standard in 1968. I purchased this car in August of 2011 from a nice gentleman in Erie, PA who had owned it for about ten years and sold it simply because he didn't feel he drove it enough. As he told it, he only took this fine Cadillac out once or twice a summer to "keep it limbered up" as he put it. Having bought it sight unseen, I was extremely pleased with its condition when it finally did arrive along with nine other cars a couple friends and I had arranged to have shipped in on two trucks all at the same time. I remember that day quite clearly, as the event was a subject of some anticipation for everyone involved, and remember even more distinctly that to my taste this '68 Eldorado was the finest car that came off the trucks that day.

I set to making improvements right away. One of my favorite parts of the classic car hobby is taking a car like this one that is rust-free and pampered and extremely well-preserved, garage-kept and generally taken care of with the degree of stewardship we all like to see, and doing those little things that would enable the next owner of the car to drive it daily in comfort and ease if they so desired. This one had a bit of a rough idle, so I added the following:

rebuilt carburetor from Autoline (I kept the original)
electronic ignition upgrade
new distributor and any ignition parts not in the EI kit
full professional tune-up

All the items/installations listed above were done by a professional mechanic with more than 30 years experience. And what a difference it made! You could store this car all winter, go in to your garage, press the pedal a few times, turn the key, and she starts almost immediately and settles in a wonderful idle as if you'd driven it to work that morning.

This car was in such great shape that it needed nothing more. The brakes are fantastic, the power windows all work great, the power antenna and radio are perfect, the seats move like new. Cigarette lighter does its job, the temperature and fuel gauges function beautifully. The only item I didn't tend to is the A/C, because its not something I worry too much about, but the new owner can certainly make that his or her contribution to the preservation of this piece of history.

I have always run a generous fuel mixture being that these engines were made to run on leaded, high-octane fuel back when gas was untainted by ethanol. So the mix she typically gets is three parts 91 no-eth and one part 110 octane racing fuel. My guess is this bumps the octane up right about where it needs to be and the way it purrs tends to support my intuition.

Of those ten cars that came off the truck two years ago this is the last car standing. Of all those it will be the hardest to sell by far. I can completely understand why this was THE car to have we it was unveiled in 1967, and why guys like Dean Martin and Elvis Presley owned one. Bill Mitchell did one heck of a job on this design. The crisp lines are as timeless and elegant as any American car ever produced. If anyone would like to see her in person, please let me know and we can arrange a time to do so. In fact, I would really prefer to meet the new owner in person just for the assurance that this car is going to a good home.

2016 Hennessey CTS-V is properly ridiculous with 1,000 horsepower

Thu, Apr 9 2015

We truly live in a halcyon era of automotive performance with models like the latest Shelby GT350 Mustang and 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat. And now Hennessey Performance Engineering is bringing something with absolutely obscene power to the world with its tuned 2016 Cadillac CTS-V that packs a ludicrous 1,000 horsepower. The latest CTS-V isn't even on sale yet but should be a powerhouse straight from the factory. Under its carbon fiber hood is a 6.2-liter supercharged LT4 V8 with 640 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque that makes the sedan capable of a 200-mile-per-hour top speed. Hennessey's take ditches the blower in favor of two turbos to feed air to the engine. To cope with the extra power, the mill gets upgrades like forged aluminum pistons and forged steel parts for the rods and crankshaft, and transmission upgrades are also necessary to make it all work. Buyers can even spec things like carbon-ceramic brakes and a widebody kit to allow for bigger tires. The crazy numbers are leading to some big performance claims from company founder John Hennessey. "I believe that our 2016 Twin Turbo CTS-V will have a top speed approaching 240 mph," he said in the Caddy's announcement. Hennessey is building just 24 of these 1,000-horsepower sedans for the 2016 model year. However, for those that want to keep the supercharger under the hood, the company is also offering upgrades with 750 hp and 800 hp for the CTS-V too. All of them sound absolutely ridiculous in an utterly fantastic way. 2016 HPE1000 Twin Turbo Cadillac CTS-V Texas Tuner Plans to Build World's Fastest 4-Door Sedan Sealy, Texas-When the next generation Cadillac CTS-V hits the streets later this year, it will have 640+ hp and a top speed of nearly 200 mph. To the team at Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE), this is a good starting point. The company plans to pick-up where they left off with the last gen CTS-V by producing the world's fastest 4-door sedan: The Hennessey HPE1000 Twin Turbo CTS-V. "A couple of years ago, the State of Texas gave us the opportunity to test one of our specially tuned CTS-Vs – our VR1200 Twin Turbo coupe. It ran 221 mph (356 km/h) on State Highway 130, near the Circuit of the Americas", said company founder, John Hennessey. "It was still pulling on when we ran out of road. I believe that our 2016 Twin Turbo CTS-V will have a top speed approaching 240 mph (386 km/h)". Hennessey plans to offer a limited run of only 24 units for the 2016 model year.

2014 Cadillac CTS images leak from somewhere

Sun, 24 Mar 2013

The redesigned 2014 Cadillac CTS will be unveiled this Tuesday on the eve of the New York Auto Show, but as often happens, some images of the car have leaked onto the web a few days early. Previously, the only information we had on the 2014 CTS concerned the all-new twin-turbo V6 engine that will be found underhood, rated at 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
While none show the new car in its entirety, the images do show much of the front end, particularly the headlights that feature vertical bars of LEDs that start down low as foglights and continue up to the top of the front fenders. They're similar to the lighting design first shown on the XTS and ATS, except the lower portions are much taller.
There are also views of the rear end and one of the taillights, as well as an interior shot of the front passenger door. The latter image has us most intrigued, as it shows some very high end materials being used in the new CTS interior. The low-gloss wood trim, in particular, looks very premium.

Cadillac cancels sponsorship of Trump's PGA event

Thu, Jun 2 2016

Cadillac has ended its sponsorship of the PGA's World Golf Championship, which has incited a response from Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Without the automaker's money to run the event at a property owned by Trump in Miami, the PGA announced it will move the WGC to Mexico City. Trump responded by saying, "Cadillac's been a great sponsor, but they're moving it to Mexico. They're moving it to Mexico City which, by the way, I hope they have kidnapping insurance. They're moving it to Mexico City. And I'm saying, you know, what's going on here? It is so sad when you look at what's going on with our country." In 2010, the PGA announced a multi-year deal with Cadillac to sponsor the WGC, starting in 2011. Since 2007, the event has been held at what is now known as the Trump National Doral Miami location. Trump took ownership of the property in 2012. Cadillac issued a statement to Autoblog that says: "We are proud to have been the title sponsor of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship since 2011. We have made the decision, however, not to extend our sponsorship beyond this year. We thank the PGA TOUR for a great six years with the Cadillac Championship."
