Description:

You are bidding on a '61 Cadillac Coupe Deville 2 Door Hardtop. CLEAR North Carolina Title in my name, on hand.
Custom fitted with a Chevy 350 with Edelbrock carburetor, 2 speed power glide automatic transmission (which both have been rebuilt) and 12 bolt Chevy rear end!
Custom floor mount auto shifter.

This car has factory power windows, power steering, and power brakes with front disc conversion.
The door handles and locks have been shaved, as well as the trunk lock with trunk release switch wired up near the dash.

The dash was completely disassembled and repainted gloss black by a professional local body shop. The dash pad was stripped, re-padded, and recovered by Helms Auto trim.
New carpet kit installed. The front seat was replaced with a like new oem seat wrapped in black and white vinyl. 

Headlights, brake lights, and tail lights all work. 

This car has a rust free body, and only some rust (Swiss cheese) in the trunk pan outer portions. The floor pans have been replaced with molded fiberglass sections. (will not rust again)

The exterior is primer with some house of kolor blue paint added to give it a flat Carolina blue look.

I do have a hand full of parts in the trunk including a lot of the removed chrome pieces.

Things I do know the car still needs:
A nice set of wheels and tires.
Exhaust is needed manifolds back.
Door panels, headliner, rear dash cover, rear seat recovered to match front seat.
Drivers wheel skirt installed.
Only thing hooked up after installing the new dash is the ignition, speedo, and headlight switch. All else needs to be hooked up. (other gauges, heater controls etc.)
A couple windows are cracked.
New weather stripping.
Wiper arms
Brake booster either isn't getting enough vacuum or is getting weak.
No door poppers installed, to open doors you stick hand in threw the vent window and pull the interior handle.
Transmission dipstick tube seal ($5 less than 30 mins to fix)
Install the seat belts if you want them (included)
Power window switch installed (new one included)

I have over $7k invested in this car. I put a buy it now price because if I don't, people will flood my email asking a price. So there it is....
The Reserve is a fair amount lower than that.

I do not recommend driving this car on busy roads or long distance until good tires are installed and the exhaust is installed. As well as the brakes getting adjusted.

Despite strong profits, GM still fighting flat market share

Fri, Jan 17 2014

Looking at the progress General Motors has made since it entered bankruptcy, it's easy to forget that the company still has a long way to go before it's the juggernaut it once was. A recent report from Reuters points out that, while GM is making money, it isn't making any gains in terms of US market share. Quite the opposite, really. Consider this factoid: In 1963, nearly half of the cars sold in the United States were from Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC or Pontiac. Now, the company's US market share is stagnant at 17.9 percent. That same number is half of just Chevy's 1963 market share. This is all despite GM going on a binge replacing or updating its models. "Market share increases are not instantaneous," Mark Reuss told Reuters at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. "We've got a lot of baggage. Don't underestimate what people though of us, or these brands, through these hardships and 30 years." The reasons for the stagnant market share are numerous. Reuters points out that retooling of factories and a focus on limiting incentives are both good things for profit, but not necessarily for market share. There's also the troubling turnover of the brand's marketing department. These issues don't change the fact that Chevrolet has lost 1.4 percent of its market share in two years, and that Cadillac - arguably GM's most improved brand overall - has lost 1.2 percent in the same period. Part of that can be blamed on GM's avoidance of fleet sales in favor of more profitable customer sales. "Our focus has really been on retail and that's where we've got the growth," said Alan Batey, GM's interim global marketing boss. "We want to grow GM and that means growing market share and profits, but it's not at all costs," Reuss said.

OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.

Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively.
