Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

I had originally bought the car to be used as a weekend driver, and to take it to e few local car shows. I just have too many other projects going on right now, and do not have the time to work on it anymore. The car to the best of my knowledge is all original from the ground up, other then any repairs I have made. This is the Biaritz Eldorado, so it was the top of the line Eldorado at the time.

Condition of interior: All of the power lock, windows, and seats work. The radio and power antenna work good, as well as all the speakers. I put a new head liner in, but would need to be finished. The rear side panels over the back seat were damage and could not be save. I found two replacements, but are white, and would have to be died red to match. The leather seats are in great shape, and show no real signs of wear. Everything else in the interior is in great shape with little to no signs of wear.

Condition of exterior: I was told the car was stored all winter long, and was inside when not being driven. So there is just some minor rust in a couple areas, but you need to be up close to find. All the chrome is in great shape, with little to no pitting. The stainless roof is in great shape, and the vinyl part of the roof is in great shape as well. The automatic trunk latch works well also.

Drivability: Just before I put the car into storage, the computer would only allow it to run in limp mode. According to the Cadillac manual I have for the car the computer is not communicating with the distributor. So it may either be the ignition module, or a signal failure on the signal wire. I have just not had the time to make the repair. Before this failure the car ran like a top, and went down the road just as well. I went through and replace every gasket I could on the motor, and put a new timing set in as well. I had the gas tank cleaned and lined, with a new fuel pump installed. I also started to put in a gauge cluster, to show temp, voltage, and oil pressure. As the car only came with indicator lights in the dash.

Things you would have to do: The gauge cluster has to finish being installed. .The bottom of the dash is removed, so I could access the computer to troubleshoot the ignition issue. Other then that you shouldn't have to do anything else with the car.

List of things to go with the car, Cadillac factory repair manual and electrical diagram, 2nd Engine computer. I also have a radiator core support, head light and grill assembly with the grill and headlights to go with the car.

Next-gen Cadillac CTS-Vs caught in parking lot

Thu, 10 Jan 2013

A pair of camouflaged Cadillac CTS prototypes were spotted, and thankfully photographed, outside a grocery store in Southern California. From the image above - there are plenty more if you click over to TotalCarScore.com - it appears these could be testers for the 2014 CTS-V, but that is just speculation. We've seen the obvious "V" motif in the grille before, and there's what could be another "V" in the design of the side mirrors.
The hood on the car in the background appears to include two bulges, but the single shot that affords a tiny peek under the hood shows reveals only the airbox. Plenty of rumors, and the sight of an engine cover inscribed with the words "Twin Turbo," have caused people to wonder if a twin-turbo V6 will live under the production car's hood instead of the V8 currently there. In back, instead of the round tailpipes found outboard on all the CTS sedans, there's a pair of integrated tips in a parallelogram shape. A new shifter with contrasting stitching was spied in the cabin.
If predictions hold up it will arrive later this year. When it does, expect the body underneath all that camo to be softer on the eye compared to the current car - less science and more art. For now, hit the link to see more spy shots of what's coming.

Cadillac tops Tesla in Consumer Reports semi-automated driving test

Thu, Oct 4 2018

General Motors' Cadillac outscored Tesla in a new ranking of partially automated driving systems tested by Consumer Reports and released on Thursday. The highly influential nonprofit organization, which tests and rates a variety of consumer products from appliances to vehicles, said it compared Cadillac's Super Cruise and Tesla's Autopilot with similar systems from Nissan and Volvo. Nissan's ProPilot Assist was ranked third and Volvo's Pilot Assist fourth. Consumer Reports said it has been testing partially automated driving systems for several years but elected to conduct a formal study intended for publication, because "we are at a tipping point where they are now going mainstream," according to Jake Fisher, director of auto testing. The organization said its tests, conducted on a private track and on public roads in Connecticut, were designed to measure the systems' ability to automatically control steering and speed in certain situations, while helping drivers pay attention and regain manual control of the vehicle when required. CR noted that any of these systems can increase driving risk if used in inappropriate situations, or if drivers become inattentive or over-reliant on them. While they can help relieve driver stress and fatigue, Consumer Reports said, the partially automated systems are "not intended to be self-driving features." The systems typically use cameras, radar and other sensors, as well as mapping data, to monitor location and traffic conditions and help keep a vehicle centered in the lane at a safe distance behind other cars. Each system has limitations. Cadillac's Super Cruise, for instance, only functions on divided highways that have been mapped by GM. In contrast, Tesla's Autopilot can be used even on small, curvy roads with poor lane markings, but "operates erratically in those situations," Consumer Reports said.The organization tested Super Cruise on the Cadillac CT6; Autopilot on the Tesla Model 3, Model X and Model S; ProPilot Assist on the Nissan Leaf and Infiniti QX50; and Pilot Assist on the Volvo XC40 and XC60. Consumer Reports said Cadillac's Super Cruise did "the best job of balancing high-tech capabilities with ensuring the car is operated safely and the driver is paying attention." Tesla's Autopilot was cited for its capability and ease of use, while Nissan's ProPilot Assist did a better job than Autopilot or Volvo's Pilot Assist in keeping drivers engaged.
