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.

Consumer Reports loves the 2014 Cadillac CTS

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Our first drive of the 2014 Cadillac CTS was just published today... we really liked the Vsport version. And Consumer Reports has some even stronger words of praise for the all-new luxury sedan. We already knew that Cadillac had stepped up its game with the third-gen CTS, but CR bluntly states that the sedan drives better than its German luxury counterparts.
While CR shows plenty of love for the new CTS, the outlet still takes issue with some of the in-car technology including the CUE infotainment system - no surprise there. The testers' offer all manner of positive comments where the impressive handling capabilities of the sedan are concerned, with lots of drifting around CR's private test facility in evidence to bear them out. Scroll down to watch the CTS get put through its paces.

Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
