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.

Cadillac confirms 420-hp twin-turbo V6 for 2014 CTS [w/videos]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

The 2014 CTS will break cover next week at the New York Auto Show, but Cadillac has released a few details of what we can expect to find under the car's hood. As we saw in some spy shots back in January, the biggest news for the midsize Caddy will be a twin-turbocharged V6 producing a whopping 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
This LF3 engine will be paired to a new eight-speed automatic transmission, which will help balance performance and fuel economy. We still don't know how much the 2014 CTS has grown in terms of size and weight, but General Motors says that new sedan will return 17 miles per gallon in the city and 25 mpg highway with the new engine to go with a 0-60 mile per hour time of 4.6 seconds - that means the new CTS will have the fuel economy close to the current base model sedan and acceleration not too far from the current CTS-V. General Motors also confirmed that this twin-turbo V6 will be available in the 2014 XTS this fall.
The next-generation CTS will carry over the 3.6-liter V6 from the current car (likely as a base engine) and also add the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder from the ATS. Check out all the details on this new engine and watch a few videos (including GM's nifty tilt rig) by scrolling below.

Cadillac launching crossover-heavy product offensive

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

Utilizing information provided by Cadillac suppliers, Reuters says that Cadillac is preparing two more crossovers that will bow after its current product initiative is complete. According to the report, a year after the next SRX arrives in 2016, a pair of CUVs will be unveiled that will bracket it in size, and they'll be headed for the US and Chinese markets.
That is years away, though. For now, the company's attentions are on the nearly here CTS and ELR range-extended coupe, the next Escalade SUV (shown above), an ATS coupe, and the range-topper that will sit above the XTS. That, and possibly an even more impressive range-topper that promises to be the mean and majestic super-luxe unicorn Cadillac we've been dreaming about for more than a decade now.
In response to the issue of how German crossovers might be having an impact on Cadillac's future plans, a company source said - rightly, we think - "we don't need to duplicate the Germans." That doesn't mean, however, that it can't wade deeper into a market segment that the Germans are making a ton of money in. In fact, and since everyone is doing it, we'd be surprised if Cadillac didn't, even if it won't happen for another four years.

Cadillac releases updated 2015 CTS

Sun, 10 Aug 2014

Cadillac is in the process of applying the new wreathless emblem across its range one model at a time, but rather than simply slap the new logo on the existing models, it's taking the opportunity to roll out some revisions as well. First came the ATS coupe, followed by the updated ATS sedan, and now the flagship brand in the General Motors portfolio has quietly announced some revisions for the CTS sedan as well.
For the 2015 model year, the CTS - which was just introduced last year - gets a revised front end with that wreathless crest but also a new chrome grille with active aero elements on standard models and a black-chrome grille on the Vsport. The revised grille is flanked by new headlights, but behind them the engine lineup carries over: a 2.0-liter turbo four with 272 horsepower, a 3.6-liter V6 with 321 hp or - in the Vsport performance model - a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 with 420 hp that's still the most powerful V6 GM has ever made. All engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission (ditching the six-speed auto on previous versions) and (apart from the RWD Vsport) can be had in rear- or all-wheel-drive flavors.
Cadillac has also given the updated CTS some new electronics (including inductive smartphone charging, onboard wifi, and more advanced parking and lane assist systems) as well as new wheels, trims and color options, details on which you can read in the press release below.
