This car is a great driving and handling car for it's size. I have owned it since 1999 and taken very good care of it with the following work done.

- New Radiator 2001

- Heads rebuilt and planed. 2005

- New exhaust manifolds. 2005

- New exhaust system, original equipment from manifolds and "y" pipe, custom dual exhaust on back. 2009

- Painted to original color by professional. NO BONDO. 2004

- Front steering and brakes rebuilt. 2009

- Top replaced 1999

- 4" infinity speakers installed under dash pad. 2005

- New carpet 2003

- New Battery 2013

Mechanically speaking this car starts and runs great. Engine is very strong and transmission is responsive and tight. I would not hesitate to drive this car across country if I needed to. The 500 cubic inch engine is 9.5:1 compression so I have always run 94 octane in it since I've owned it. Car was not rusty before it was painted, just faded, that was the reason for repaint. This car is old and as you can see from the pictures the interior is original and would need to be replaced in order for the car to be at "the next level" of restoration. Here is a list of some of the things that are non-working/wore/etc....

- Interior is orignal, door panels cracked at armrest, small hole in passenger side seat. Dash is in excellent shape, no fading or cracks, no cracks on steering wheel either.

- Small pits in chrome on exterior door handles, one small nickel size blemish in rear bumper near left tail light, barely visible. All other chrome is in great shape.

- Glass rear window broke on me when folding the top with something on it, bad move on my part, I have a new replacement window with defroster to go back in it.

- Top is in great shape other than it could use a scrubbing to make really white. Mechanism for top operates fine.

- Original radio does not work, I mounted a cd player under the dash and put new infinity speakers in the dash not to ruin the original appearance. Cd player quit working so there is nothing there now.

- A/C not working

- Cruise Control not working.

I do have some the soft parade top, extra trim parts, shop manual, pinstriping manual, retractable top manual, owners manual, sales brochure and a car cover that I will include in the auction.

I have tried to represent this car to the best of my abilities, please contact me if you have any other questions or would like specific pictures emailed or posted. Thanks for looking, Matt

GM outlines strategy for new products, growth in China

"Our strategic plan is a pathway to earn customers for life and create significant shareholder value in the process." - Mary Barra
General Motors laid out ambitious plans on Wednesday to become the world's "most valued automotive company," a goal it says it can reach by strengthening its business in China, rebuilding the Cadillac luxury brand and fixing the foundering GM Europe operations.

Is Cadillac working on an ELR-V? [w/video]

Mon, 12 May 2014

Could it be? Could Cadillac be working on an even higher-end version of its ELR plug-in hybrid? Well, General Motors' Executive Vice President Mark Reuss has gone on record as... well, not saying much. The exec was more than a bit coy on video (which you can view below) when asked about the idea of an ELR-V, although he did say that Cadillac was looking at "expanding the tuning envelope" for its plug-in coupe. What that means could be hinted at in these spy photos.
Cadillac is certainly up to something with this little red ELR. As is often the case, it's the car's enhanced brakes that give it away. Bigger binders are a telltale sign of sportier aspirations, and it's safe to say that rule applies with the ELR. The larger rotors and four-piston Brembo calipers are sourced from the Buick Regal GS, which we imagine would be plenty to bring the high-priced hybrid to a halt.
Obscuring those rotors and calipers are larger, double-armed five-spoke wheels. And, according to our spies, hiding behind that camouflage is a new grille. Outside of those two items, though, there's not much aesthetic change.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation

Sat, 09 Aug 2014

The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
