Beautiful 1968 Cadillac Deville Convertible No Reserve!!!! on 2040-cars

Up for auction is a 1968 Cadillac DeVille Convertible.  I have owned this car since 2010 and have done my best to baby it and get her back in the shape she deserves to be in. It has sat with a cover on it in a garage for the past 3 years; I probably only put about 35 miles on it. Unfortunately I have to part ways with it, but that's good luck for you!

The paint is in fantastic shape for the most part; there is minimal chipping and zero bubbling.  This car is 90% rust free.  There are a few tiny spots on the body, a few on the undercarriage, and some in the engine bay.  The right exhaust pipe has a hole in it.  I was planning on running a straight pipe back to replace it but clearly never got around to it.  I have pictures to detail any and all flaws.  

The red carpet is the original carpet and is in great condition.  The interior is custom red and white leather and looks absolutely beautiful.  There is a small slice in the drivers seat, and a piece of trim has come loose on the drivers side door.  Again, reference the pictures to see everything. 

I just replaced the battery a few days ago.  The engine cranks over every time with no hesitation.  

The top has a few small tears in it that could probably be patched no problem. 
The previous owner had speaker wire running throughout the vehicle.  Me not knowing enough about the wiring of a 68' Deville left that in place.  I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to remove.  He also added a new head unit which you can see under the dash.  I kept that because it was nice to plug my iPhone into.

It leaks a bit of oil, and a bit of power steering fluid.  I started it up last weekend after sitting for a year and it fired right up.  The transmission was working perfectly before I stored it, but when I started it up it hesitated a bit.  My mechanic told me this was due to a clogged filter because it was just sitting around not being run.

This spectacular car is 90% done.  I'm leaving the last 10% up to the next owner.  If you're looking for a classic car that barely needs any work, you've found it here.

Also,  I have the original 1968 hubcaps for the DeVille in the trunk of the car.  The original owners manual and extra fuses are in the glove box.  There are also the correct wheel studs I purchased (the previous owner didn't have the right hardware) but did not put on that are in the car as well.

Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions you may have as I would be happy to answer them!!

Thanks for looking and good luck!

GM considering new powertrain options for large SUVs

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

Aside from the new General Motors offerings, there's not a whole lot of action going on in the fullsize SUV segment. That doesn't seem to be stopping GM from pushing the envelope in the market as Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is looking to introduce some new powertrain options into the Chevy Tahoe (and Suburban), GMC Yukon (and Yukon XL) and the Cadillac Escalade - all have been redesigned for the 2015 model year.
Now, we already know that GM and Ford are collaborating on nine- and ten-speed transmissions for a broad range of applications (including the big SUVs), but this new report says that GM is also considering other options as a way to one-up the competition and, of course, to optimize fuel economy. AN quotes Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for GM trucks, as saying that "interesting powertrain technologies" are coming including a return of a hybrid SUV and possibly even a diesel engine. Although it sounds like the latter could come down to how customers respond to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel.

Cadillac's Euro reboot may have implications for US models, sales

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Firmly on the comeback trail in the US, Cadillac is still trying to get out of the starting blocks in Europe. At the Geneva Motor Show in March, Cadillac' senior execs revealed plans to grow the brand's presence in a luxury market dominated by the big three German marques, Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
GM President Dan Ammann says he sees "enormous" potential for Cadillac globally.
Over the past 20 years, the General Motors premium nameplate has tried and failed multiple times to break into the European market. This time around, Cadillac recognizes that progress will be modest at best, and depends on specific changes to models, some of which may impact the brand's US lineup. Planned new sales tactics in Europe may also impact the way Cadillac does business on this side of the pond.
