I bought this car 5 years ago off ebay and got screwed. It was supposed to be a daily driver that ran and looked ok. IT WAS FAR FROM IT!!!!! I was left no choice but to fix it, im an autobody tech and the last thing I wanted to do was to work on my car during my time off. So here is a list of what Ive done. Engine and Trans were rebuilt, And I installed the following brand new, Master cylinder and brake booster, Steering box,carburetor,fuel lines on motor, complete engine wire harness from firewall to engine including all the lights and horns etc. calipers, rotors, pads, AC compressor, Power steering pump, motor mounts, belts, Y pipe coming off exhaust manifolds, battery, condensor, heater core, all coolant hoses, all rubber brake lines, Every single component of the front suspension....EVERYTHING! All new rubber for the windows, trunk and doors, 4 brand new tires, while engine was out I painted the engine bay including the engine and front section of frame. Its basically brand new from the winsheild forward. 

I have a used dashboard, rear springs, engine decals, lock cylinders for trunk and driver door. This car runs really good but needs some TLC to be a perfect daily driver. All the hard work is done now it just needs some minor body work and paint to be beautiful again. I have twin boys coming next month and Im assuming I wont have much time to finish this car and plus Im going to need the room for strollers now. I have over $25,000.00 invested in this car NOT including my labor. Feel free to email me with any questions.

Just to answer some of the emails I received I wanted to add this to the page. When I say "20 footer" I mean it looks amazing from 20ft away. There are other things that do not work and may be missing on this vehicle such as trunk lock cylinder but I have one for the buyer in the vehicle so it can be installed. Also the turn signals do not work, needs a turn signal cam. The engine runs pretty good but due to the choke and fast idle cam and possible vacuum hoses not being adjusted correctly can be the cause. Like I said Everything was relpaced new and now its just a matter of adjusting things and getting the vacuum correct. If your expecting a perfectly running car DONT BID!!! Before bidding please email me to go over any specifics that may not be listed. This is a great car to restore, The hard greasy miserable part is done. Dont pass up this oppertunity! I spent $1400.00 alone just on rubber seals, $600.00 for a engine wire harness, $1000.00 for the transmission. I spent $6000.00 on rockauto.com on parts! $1000.00 on tires, $50.00 for a original 1968 fuel filter. If you are unsure of anything please email me before bidding and ill get back to you as soon as I can. I don't want to screw anyone like I got screwed years ago. ASK QUESTIONS!!!!

Having said all of that keep in mind I drive this vehicle on the highway at speeds over 65mph.

I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime.

A few signs that Cadillac's revival is taking hold

Mon, 08 Apr 2013

Only a flatworm would not have predicted the Cadillac ATS would help increase sales for America's erstwhile luxury brand of record; however, even the best automotive oracles didn't realize by how much: The ATS fueled a 49-percent increase of the brand's year-on-year sales in March, the sixth straight month of growth for Cadillac. The momentum helped push General Motors to post a 6.4-increase in sales in March versus 2012, leading its domestic competitors.
Dealership salesmen are among the first to register the shift occurring at Cadillac. A Texas dealer related an incident in which he helped a mother affix a baby seat in a car for a test drive, explaining that as opposed to the older buyers that are still a Cadillac mainstay he's getting "a pretty diverse group that's coming through the door now" who are "younger and better educated." Aided by incentives on the ATS, Cadillac's sales are up 38 percent so far this year, overtaking Acura as the fourth best selling luxury brand, and GM stock is benefiting with incremental gains because of it. Based on early response, the new 2014 Cadillac CTS should keep things going in the same direction.
The trend at the Wreath and Crest is part of a larger sales trend happening among domestics - with other models like the Dodge Dart and Ford Fusion doing well - and overall US car sales. Head over to Bloomberg for the big picture and role the ATS plays in it.

Cadillac's Butler announces surprise departure

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that Cadillac's vice president of global strategic development, Don Butler, has resigned. Butler has held the position since April, after a term as vice president of US marketing for General Motor's luxury brand.
As the report explains, the timing here is pretty unfortunate for Cadillac. Butler is the third high-profile member of Cadillac's brass to depart in recent months, following the firing of US sales boss Chase Hawkins and the pending departure of Susan Docherty. Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell told the Detroit paper, "Bob [Ferguson]," global boss for Cadillac, "and other leaders asked him to stay on. Don's here in the office today - and told our team that his decision is purely on a personal level. After three years of putting everything into Cadillac, he is stepping away for some personal time, and to consider new avenues in his life."
Butler says his decision is part of a decision to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities." Whatever the reason, it's an unpleasant surprise for Cadillac, which has been on a surge in 2013, with 30-percent jump in sales on the heels of the hot-selling ATS.
