up for auction is a 1985 cadillac eldorado convertible for restoration.I am selling for a friend who recently faced a disability and can no longer pursue the project.The car does start and runs but seems to leak anti freeze from somewhere(was told it was the head gasket)and also has the coolant temp light on the dash there is no antifreeze present in the oil, the body is solid with very little rusting,all electrical does work including the convertible top,the passenger side window will not go up but seems to be the only issue with the car,no other warning lights are present besides the coolant temp.

The odometer reads 31k which I as told from previous seller are all original, the title and owners manual are available, the overall body is solid,the exterior has fading and will need a paint job,the trunk is dented(white replacement trunk included) the asc convertible top needs replacement,the original interior of the car was white with red accents but in very rough condition(pics included),I have began swapping interior from a 1982 coupe purchased  for parts to give the car a complete red interior(door panels ad front seats are in will need rear seat the seats from the coupe are wider), the convertible is not finished but all parts are there to complete it.

the car has only been in possession for a month before the injury occurred and not too much is known about the car.I ask that all potential buyers ask any and all questions before bidding.again this is a restoration/project vehicle and is being sold as is where is.buyer is responsible for their own shipping of vehicle.the car is for sale locally I reserve the right to cancel the auction at anytime.

Relisting due to non paying bidder Please do not bid if you do not have intentions to buy

Reuss says GM diesel plans are still on pace

Fri, Oct 16 2015

General Motors is not going to let Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal ruin its plans for a new line of efficient, torquey oil-burners, the company's Executive Vice President Mark Reuss said at a recent press event. "No way," Reuss responded when asked about cancelling the upcoming diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze and other vehicles. "The Cruze Diesel is too good not to do it." Slated for 2017, the compact is just the latest member of a diesel offensive that initially kicked off with the first Cruze Diesel and most recently saw the introduction of the oil-burning Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. Reuss also reassured those in attendance that there was "no delay" in development of Cadillac's diesel lineup. Cadillac is working on a line of four- and six-cylinder turbodiesels for Europe. They'd make their way into the US market, too, eventually. "It's a question of timing," Reuss said, according to Car and Driver. Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has caused automakers across the globe to at least reanalyze their diesel strategy. Jaguar Land Rover, which is preparing several diesel-powered models for the US market, went on record late last month to reaffirm its commitment to diesel.

Cadillac ATS to go racing in 2015 as CTS.V.R replacement

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

Cadillac has been racking up victories with the CTS.V.R in Pirelli World Challenge racing for two model generations now, including recent GT class championships in 2012 and 2013. However, even winning racers eventually have to retire, and it looks like the CTS may be taking a bow at the end of the season. In its place, Caddy is reportedly working on a new racecar based on the ATS Coupe, and it might even get to compete internationally.
According to Racer, Pratt & Miller Engineering is leading the development and is already lapping the ATS racecar in Michigan for testing. It reportedly drops the CTS' V8 in favor of a twin-turbocharged V6 powering the rear wheels. Since this is the same team behind the hugely successful Corvette Racing program and the current CTS.V.R, the latest car appears to be in good hands.
The new model would also adhere to GT3 rules, according to Racer, and that might signal a big change for Cadillac's motorsports program. It means that the ATS could be sold to teams in the numerous series around the world that accept these vehicles. That would broaden the luxury coupe's exposure and put it up against GT3 racecars from premium brands, like Bentley, Porsche and McLaren. If it wins, the change could be a marketing bonanza for the brand.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation

Sat, 09 Aug 2014



The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
