NO RESERVE NO EXTRA FEES AUCTION! In 2007 my Mother purchased the car from a funeral home with only 67k miles from the original owner. She enjoyed the car and is no longer driving. She sold me the car and over the winter 2014 I spent over 275 hours and $3800 in parts (wholesale) building a super reliable, dependable Fleetwood. I also wanted the sharpest Fleetwood in town! The car was not a wreck. I have a Dealership since early 2000's and full shop so I was able to restore it over the winter this year and it was a long adventure. The list I long but if you truly want a one of a kind deal read on. The 260 HP LT1 Corvette motor with 340 torque is running like a top! New drums, shoes, hoses, hardware, emergency brake cables, brake lines and shocks were installed. I went with air shocks in the rear end with the fill behind the rear license plate. That way the rear height is adjustable if I like it to be. All original air lines and pump are still intact. Then new front rotors, bearings, ceramic pads, brake hoses and brake lines. Then new front shocks, and stabilizer links with polyester bushings. Then I changed the Air conditioning compressor with a factory Delco one, receiver dryer, all seals and had it professionally charged. Opti-spark distributor, spark plug wires and spark plugs are new along with a new water pump, tensioner pulley and belt. The car doesn't leak a drop. The power steering pump was redone then I put in both new lines and a new power steering pressure valve. The starter was redone and the car has remote start and keyless entry. The radiator was flushed and new fluid was installed. I found the larger white wall tires that are speed rated 235/75/15 100s tires so they are tough and will last a long time. They set the car off! The factory chrome wheels were prepared for hours to prevent any leaks once the new tires were installed. Cadillac emblems are seen on the valve stems. I changed every brake line in the car to the copper nickel metal line to ensure they will never have issues again. When the lines were made they were ALL put back into the factory mounts on the body as they were from the factory. The exhaust manifold gaskets were changed (no broken bolts on this car) and the original bolts were upgraded to the harder 8.8 hardness so if these ever need to be done again there will be no broken bolts. I changed the mufflers and all of the clamps and mounts on the exhaust. I sent in the front bumper top to have it professionally redone since it is common to fade as it did. I purchased brand new rear quarter panel chrome spears and they look great! No stinky cigarette or pet smells present. These are a beautiful car with all of the chrome that you just don't see anymore on modern cars. The chrome is stunning on this car. It was a pampered car all of it's life. It is a sleeper that will perform if needed with that Corvette motor. I have enjoyed driving the car and know you will enjoy it as well. The bottom was coated with bed-liner to protect it since from the factory they are not undercoated. The oil, filter, air filter, gas filter, and gear oil and seals are all new. New wiper blades and I even changed all of the bulbs on the car. The radio works and the power antenna work. The power mirrors, locks, trunk release, trunk pull down, seats, heated seats, lumbar are working. Even the cruise control works. The cam positioning sensor is new. I converted the 2:92 rear end to a RPO GU6 3:42 rear end and springs from a 44k mile Fleetwood (tow package) then changed the seals and fluid .The speedometer is off a bit since the new gears are a different ratio and that also triggers the traction control light and the check engine light. The ECM can be re-flashed to accept the new size rear end gears I'm told. I will include the rear axle gears that were original and in great shape if you prefer to have the car back to original. The power is great and the fuel mileage is super. It's the perfect mix of luxury, power, economy, and grace!! The car has never towed but is now ready to. The transmission was serviced and has a new filter , gasket then the pan was freshened up. The transmission shifted like a new car before and after the service. The vinyl top is in new condition. The trim around the bottom of the top is redone and new clips were installed. No leaks in the trunk from this area since I sealed it properly. The paint on the car dazzles! I have 2 door dings. Both are on the rear doors. This one has the solar protection windshield that keeps the sun heat out. I have no cracks on my dash. The seats are comfortable. The carpets are pretty clean. Non smoker and pets car. I am selling some of my personal collection and that is the only reason I would ever consider selling this car. If you paid me $50.00 an hour, the labor for 275 hours is $13,750. Plus $3,800 in parts!! It was done for pride and I realize you will be getting the advantage. I have put 2000 miles on the car since it's restoration and it's GREAT! I always get the nicest comments but best of all it is like new mechanically. No extra fees in my auction so enjoy and I look forward to a fun transaction. Title is clean. The car was filmed on June 17, 2014 and will be parked until so it's exactly as you see it. I can provide pictures of the restoration on a flash drive to the new buyer if you like. Uship is a great place to get a shipping quote from Victor, NY 14564. International buyers welcome but make sure you check the cost to import to make sure it's worth it for you. Please schedule to bid and win! No reserve!! It's only worth what a buyer will pay.

Cadillac ATS Coupe spy photos show more sedate two-door

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Remember when the Cadillac CTS Coupe debuted, and we were all like, "Oh hello there?" Well, don't expect the same thing to happen when the new ATS Coupe is unveiled - these brand new (overexposed) spy shots show a two-door that's decidedly more sedate than the angular yet curvaceous and all-around good-looking CTS Coupe. This isn't to say that the smaller Caddy Coupe won't be attractive - the four-door version is plenty pretty, to be sure - it just likely won't have that extra somethin'-somethin' to truly set it apart from the sedan.
Fine, then. We don't doubt that the two-door ATS will be just as enjoyable to drive as its sedan sibling, with a lot of the mechanical stuff likely carrying over unchanged. That includes the powertrain options, meaning buyers will be able to choose from the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-four, turbocharged 2.0-liter four, or larger free-breathing 3.6-liter V6.
Look for the 2014 ATS Coupe to enter production in January of next year, meaning a reveal later this year (LA Auto Show, perhaps?) would be in order.

Cadillac confirms new flagship to be built in Detroit next year

Fri, 19 Sep 2014



"The objective for this upcoming model is to lift the Cadillac range by entering the elite class of top-level luxury cars." - Johan de Nysschen
Cadillac confirmed Friday morning it will build its new flagship sedan, expected to be called the LTS, starting in late in 2015 in Detroit.

GM won't really kill off the Chevy Volt and Cadillac CT6, will it?

Fri, Jul 21 2017

General Motors is apparently considering killing off six slow-selling models by 2020, according to Reuters. But is that really likely? The news is mentioned in a story where UAW president Dennis Williams notes that slumping US car sales could threaten jobs at low-volume factories. Still, we're skeptical that GM is really serious about killing those cars. Reuters specifically calls out the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet Sonic, and the Chevrolet Volt. Most of these have been redesigned or refreshed within the past few model years. Four - the LaCrosse, Impala, CT6, and Volt - are built in the Hamtramck factory in Detroit. That plant has made only 35,000 cars this year - down 32 percent from 2016. A typical GM plant builds 200,000-300,000 vehicles a year. Of all the cars Williams listed, killing the XTS, Impala, and Sonic make the most sense. They're older and don't sell particularly well. On the other hand, axing the other three seems like an odd move. It would leave Buick and Cadillac without flagship sedans, at least until the rumored Cadillac CT8 arrives. The CT6 was a big investment for GM and backing out after just a few years would be a huge loss. It also uses GM's latest and best materials and technology, making us even more skeptical. The Volt is a hugely important car for Chevrolet, and supplementing it with a crossover makes more sense than replacing it with one. Offering one model with a range of powertrain variants like the Hyundai Ioniq and Toyota Prius might be another route GM could take. All six of these vehicles are sedans, Yes, crossover sales are booming, but there's still a huge market for cars. Backing away from these would be essentially giving up sales to competitors from around the globe. The UAW might simply be publicly pushing GM to move crossover production to Hamtramck to avoid closing the plant and laying off workers. Sales of passenger cars are down across both GM and the industry. Consolidating production in other plants and closing Hamtramck rather than having a single facility focus on sedans might make more sense from a business perspective. GM is also trying to reduce its unsold inventory, meaning current production may be slowed or halted while current cars move into customer hands. There's a lot of politics that goes into building a car. GM wants to do what makes the most sense from a business perspective, while the UAW doesn't workers to lose their jobs when a factory closes.
