Up for NO RESERVE auction is my 1970 Cadillac Coupe DeVille.  Please read the description carefully as it contains a lot of information that will help you determine the condition of the car. 


BODY - The body is 95% original factory paint in very good condition.  There is some fading on the lids.  The only parts that appear to be painted are the left front fender (with some minor rust on the bottom -see linked photos) and the bottom part of the right front fender starting from halfway between the spear and the bottom.  That repainted part seems to have some cracking as also evidenced in the pictures (see linked photos).  There is a minor dent on the right hood toward the passenger window (see linked photos).  The trunk compartment is rust free and in excellent condition.  The trunk rubber is excellent and original as evidenced by the factory watermark (see linked photos).

CHROME - The chrome is in good condition with some peppering on the bumpers (see linked photos), a small dent on the lower left front bumper (see linked photos), some pitting on the side marker bezels (see linked photos).  Headlamp bezels, brightwork and grille are very good to excellent.  

INTERIOR - The front seat was reupholstered in correct and matching flat-grain white leather.  The 6-way seat operates, but slowly.  The driver's and passenger's door panels have been re-dyed and are in excellent condition.  The stereo radio works well although the small front speakers sound a bit fuzzy.  Door locks work well.  The steering wheel is intact with slight lines visible under the clear laminate (see linked photos).  

ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN - The engine runs well and smooth with no noises and no leaks.  The exhaust is after market and is ever so slightly noisier than stock.  The transmission shifts well and the ATF is red.  AC compressor is disconnected due to worn bearings.  The climate control unit works in all modes.  The tires have excellent tread but have flat spots from sitting (see linked photos).  

DOCUMENTATION - The car has 45k original miles and documentation is included in the sale.  Original Bill of Sale is included in photos.

This is a NO RESERVE auction and this car will go to the highest bidder.  I will not remove this car from the eBay auction.  The highest bidder will own this car.  If you have less than 95% positive feedback or fewer than 15 feedbacks, you must contact me before bidding otherwise your bid may be removed.  Please check my feedback.  If you have any questions about this car, please contact me through eBay.  I am usually quite prompt on my replies.  Shipment of the car is the responsibility of the buyer.  I urge you to make an appointment to see this car in person or have a third party view it for you if you are able before you bid.  Although I believe my description and photos are very accurate, your rating of this car and mine might differ.
Good luck.

Gimp Pimp and Aqua Volvo at 24 Hours of LeMons | Car Club USA

Tue, Mar 22 2016

Car Club USA heads to Sonoma, CA where the Gimp Pimp Cadillac and Aqua Volvo will take on all the crazy, sub-$500 competition at the 24 Hours of LeMons endurance race. "Over the last 30 years, car racing has gotten extremely serious and extremely expensive and it just seemed like there was a real need to make it accessible again," said LeMons founder Jay Lamm. The result is a series of endurance races across the US and Australia where all you need to join the fun is a junky car and some basic safety equipment. "It's just fun, compared to pro racing," said Wendy Epstein, driver of a 1979 Volvo 242 in bright "Aqua Volvo" livery. "24 Hours of LeMons is a form of racing that is designed to be cheap and easy, and anybody can do it," said Bill Manfroy, driver of the Gimp Pimp, a 1996 Cadillac SLS with some important modifications. "Part of what makes the Gimp Pimp Cadillac so special is that it does have hand controls, so it gives access to people like me that ordinarily get to race." "Which makes it perfect for LeMons." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures.

Cadillac sales chief fired over policy violation

Sun, 21 Jul 2013

Amidst a good year for Cadillac, which is experiencing higher sales gains than any other US brand this year, the US sales chief has been fired over a policy violation, Automotive News reports.
The sales chief, Chase Hawkins, "has left effective immediately," GM spokesman David Caldwell told Automotive News. Caldwell went on to say that Hawkins' replacement would be chosen soon.
Hawkins became the US sales chief in June 2012, and before that was the regional sales director for Cadillac in the Northeast US, overseeing 168 dealerships.

Why an independent rear suspension for GM's new, full-sized SUVs wasn't easy

Mon, Dec 23 2019

A Motor Trend report last month laid out how Cadillac's 4.2-lier twin-turbo Blackwing V8 could be an orphan due to cost concerns in the GM empire. Last-minute chassis changes to Cadillac's new sedans and XT6 crossover led to engine bays that couldn't fit the Blackwing. On the SUV side, according to the report, the new independent rear suspension for big people haulers cost so much to implement that GM ruled out reworking the Escalade to accept the Blackwing. At least one commenter rightly asked how could a suspension swallow that much money. A new piece in Motor Trend has the answer. The excellent Alissa Priddle spoke to Tim Herrick, GM's executive chief engineer for full-size trucks, about why the clean-sheet IRS cost "multimillions of dollars."  First, GM would need to build a new body shop at the Arlington, Texas plant that assembles the automaker's big SUVs to stamp the numerous wholly new parts and panels accommodating an IRS. Then GM would need to design and pay for a new assembly process. On top of those up-front costs, there was the incremental cost of the four-link IRS components being more expensive than those in the trucks' former leaf-sprung solid axles. Herrick endured so many rejections for so long that he remembers the date and time when he got approval for the new unit. He said it came down to a meeting where he told a higher-up, "I'll make you a deal: If we get to the reveal, or if we launch this and you think this was a dumb idea, I'll hand you my badge and let you walk me out." Head to Motor Trend to read the full story. Based on Herrick being on stage to help present the new SUVs to the press, and on our First Ride in the new Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban at GM's Milford Proving Grounds, it appears this will have a happy ending for all involved. Furthermore, since Herrick worked on the T1 platform that supports the big SUVs as well as the light- and heavy-duty pickups, he understood the demands on the commercial side, too. That could be why when Roadshow asked Tim Asoklis, chief engineer of the Tahoe and Suburban, if the new IRS could endure life in the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, Asoklis answered, "Oh, absolutely."
