Here is very nice 1975 Cadillac Coupe Deville. This car is in great shape, with low miles. I want to start off by saying that if anyone has any questions, or would like to come see the car, please contact me via ebay, or by telephone. I would like anyone who is interested in this car to feel confident if they decide to purchase it. This is an excellent example of a classic Caddy. This car also has many new parts, and some interesting extras included with it, which we will get into in a bit. Ok, with all that being said, lets get into the specifics about this great car.
- First, if you need more pictures, please go to Flickr.com, and go to caprala23's photo page. I got about 100 more pictures of the car on there, Ebay won't allow the link...
- 3 owner car, 66,000 original miles.
- No accidents, no smoking.
- Car is rot free, underside is immaculate. Interior is in excellent condition.
- BODY: The body is in great shape front to back. The car has seen a re-paint once, about 8 years ago. The paint job is decent, not show quality, but very presentable. There are a couple tiny chips here and there, but its only in the top coat. There is a very small, nickel-sized rust spot from paint peeling above a piece of the rocker trim. That's the only rust on the whole car. All the chrome is shiney, and in great shape, Bumpers, trim, all very nice. This Caddy has the Cabriolet package, which includes a vinyl half-top with special trim, and a see-through chrome hood ornament. Vinyl roof was re-done same time as paint. Floors, roof, trunk floor, frame, doors, and hood are solid as a rock.
- INTERIOR: The interior is above-average, and fantastic. It's tan, and features the very 70's Maharajah fabric pattern. You don't see this kind of pattern on anything anymore, especially cars. Everything is all original, and in great shape. The headliner, steering wheel, rear dash, and seats are perfect. The carpet is a little sun faded in some areas, due to age, and there is a tiny crack in the side of the dashboard. Everything else is near perfect.
- UNDERHOOD: Under the hood is the original 8.2L 500 c.i.d. engine. Runs great, and starts 1st time every time. Everything is still intact. The engine bay has been cleaned, and detailed. Air Conditioning is still intact, but not working. Convert it to R134A, and you'll be good to go.
- OPTIONS: This Cadillac is equipped with many power options, as a Caddy should be. Options include; Power windows, locks, seats and antenna. Also has cruise control, air conditioning, automatic headlights, tilt and telescoping steering column, 3-speed windsheild wipers, and power trunk pull-down.
- EXTRAS: Car comes with some great extras. Included is a COMPLETE REAR BODY FILLER KIT. This includes taillight surroundings, and rubber fillers for both sides. I would like to note that- these are not re-production pieces, they are original GM parts, and anyone who knows about Caddys, knows that these are like $400 for a re-production kit, and that originals are impossible to find. Ones on the car are perfect now, these are to have for spare, or use on your other Deville you got sitting around! ALSO INCLUDED, is all the original Maintenance Schedule, Consumer Information, Owners Manual, and heres the best part, included is a 24-page full-color Cadillac Options and Availability brochure for 1975. This is a very rare piece of literature to have. Would look great in the rear dash at a car show. This booklet includes; Color choices, Interior patterns, Model Availability, Specs, and just about anything you would have needed to know before you purchased your brand new 1975 Cadillac!
- NEW PARTS/WORK: Recent work includes; Complete engine tune-up; plugs, wires, dist.cap, and rotor, and Lucas oil change. Carb clean and adjust, along with a new fuel filter, New valve cover gaskets, Transmission filter, fluid, pan gasket, and tailshaft seal. New heater blower motor, New LH side exhaust manifold, and new manifold gaskets on both sides. All vacuum hoses have been replaced, new master cylinder, new belts, and all underhood wires have been cleaned, and tested. New front brake calipers, and new fuel hoses that go from sending unit to fuel lines. All ground connections have also been checked and cleaned.
- NEEDS: OK, 1st, let me just say, this car doesn't ''need'' anything to make it a great, running and driving dependable classic car. These are just some things that would make it better. Springs and shocks all around. The car doesn't bounce around or anything, but the springs are original, so its probably time to replace them, and why not do the shocks while your at it? As i mentioned before, the A/C needs some attention, basically just a retro-fit.
- NOT WORKING: The things not working are very minimal. There are a few light bulbs out in the speedo cluster in the dash. The power antenna works when it wants to, and the power trunk pull-down works, but not properly. Maybe someone with more knowledge of these can make it work right? The radio works, but there are a few speakers out.
- MY AUCTIONS RULES/GUIDELINES/PAYMENT: PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT PLAN ON PURCHASING AND FOLLOWING THROUGH. BID TO OWN. Contact me with any questions you have before bidding. A $500 non-refundable deposit will be made by winning bidder within 48 hours of auctions end via PAYPAL. The remaining balance will be paid within 10 DAYS, and in CASH. NO CHECKS, NO MONEY ORDERS, OR ANY OTHER FORMS OF PAYMENT. If you insist on paying full amount with paypal, then YOU will be responsible for paying the paypal fees that will occur, NOT ME. If you need to have the car shipped, I will assist in any way I can to make it a easy, smooth transaction.

GM to build $1.3 billion Cadillac plant in China
Wed, 08 May 2013General Motors has gotten approval to build a $1.3 billion manufacturing facility for its Cadillac brand in China. China's National Development and Reform Commission signed off on plans for GM to build the plant in the country's Shanghai's Jinqiao zone; construction is expected to begin in June of this year. According to a Bloomberg report, the plant will have an annual production capacity of 150,000 units.
No surprise here, but Cadillac would like to sell a lot more cars in the plush Chinese luxury market. The brand moved only 30,010 cars in China last year, compared with 400k for Audi, and about 330k for BMW. With Cadillac already telling us that it would be moving production of its XTS sedan to China - a production decision that saves having to pay 25-percent import tariffs - approval of the factory is a critical win for the company.
In fact, according to earlier comments by GM China president Bob Socia, it's at least conceivable that Chinese-built Cadillacs could be shipped back to the US for sale. The brave new world of globalization, getting stranger by the minute.
Saturn Vue ignition switch leads to new group of GM recalls totaling 312k

The largest among them covers 215,243 units of the Saturn Vue from 2002-2004 model years worldwide, 202,115 in the US. It's possible for the for the key to be removed even when the ignition isn't in the OFF position. The company knows of two crashes and one injury caused by this problem. Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.
Next is 72,826 models worldwide (48,059 vehicles in the US) of the 2013 Cadillac ATS four-door sedan, 2013 Buick Encore and 2013 Chevy Trax in Canada. It's possible that the for lap belt pretensioner to retract but not to lock, which could increase occupant movement during a crash. Both front, outboard lap belt pretensioners are being replaced, and a stop-sale is in effect on unsold models until the problem is repaired. There are no known crashes or injuries, though.
Cadillac partners with Saks Fifth Avenue for limited-edition ELR
Fri, 08 Nov 2013There's no softening the blow with this one - this is the limited edition 2014 Cadillac ELR Saks Fifth Avenue Edition, and it costs $89,500, including $995 for destination. The special model, limited to just 100 units, is part of a holiday season collaboration between Cadillac and luxury retailer Saks Fifth Avenue. In addition to the ELR, there will also be a special "Frozen Escalade" window display at the Saks Fifth Avenue flagship store near Rockefeller Center in New York City, which will feature the 2015 Escalade with functioning LED running lamps that, as the automaker says, "appear embedded and breaking through a wall of ice."
But back to that ELR. This Saks edition plug-in hybrid coupe commands a surcharge of $14,500 over the $75,000 base model that over 85-percent of Autoblog readers polled already feel is overpriced. For that extra coin, you get an ELR wearing exclusive (to this car) White Diamond paint matched with either a jet black or light cashmere interior. Buyers will also receive an upgraded 240-volt charging station complete with professional installation, and the cars come with Cadillac's ELR Concierge service - representatives "trained in white-glove customer care" that serve as an additional point of contact beyond the dealership when it comes to topics like like battery care, charging, service scheduling and news updates.
Folks who order the Saks Fifth Avenue ELR are expected to receive their cars in March of next year. Price aside, we're sure it'll look great parked alongside the Neiman Marcus Aston Martin Vanquish Volante in owners' garages. Scroll down for Cadillac's official press blast.
