1976 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special Brougham Sedan 4-door 8.2l on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
|
This vehicle was purchased new by my friend In Houston Tx. The car spent most of it's life in Louisana. I am the second owner. The Air Conditioning was converted to R-134a and the VIR was converted to a fixed orfice cycling clutch design. The car was restored in the 1980's with new headliner, vinyl top, re-painted and the paint is beginning to fail. There is some rust under the vinyl top. I put American Classic tires on it with the correct whitewall width and they have less than 1000 miles on them. I was backing in my driveway with the tailgate down on my truck with glaring evening sunlight when I tapped the left turn signal light and broke the lens. The chrome looks good with the exception of the center section of the rear bumper where the chrome is peeling. The dashboard is free of cracks and looks good. The steering wheel cover plastic is peeling which is typical of these Cadillacs. I noticed the seek and scan radio does not seek or scan anymore, but still works good. I am includingf two extra radios. The power antenna doesn't work. The engine starts quickly and easily and runs great. The transmission shifts fine with no issues. Front brake calipers and brake master cylinder was just replaced. Rear bumper fillers have been replaced. I have many extra parts that can go with this car; two extra radios,an extra set of factory floor mats, original sealed beam headlamps(not halogen), and other miscellaneous parts. This is a beautiful car with great lines and I hate to part with it, but 9 cars is too many and I don't have time for this one any more.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.

Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable
Sun, 10 Aug 2014A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.
