1976 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special Brougham Sedan 4-door 8.2l on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
|
This vehicle was purchased new by my friend In Houston Tx. The car spent most of it's life in Louisana. I am the second owner. The Air Conditioning was converted to R-134a and the VIR was converted to a fixed orfice cycling clutch design. The car was restored in the 1980's with new headliner, vinyl top, re-painted and the paint is beginning to fail. There is some rust under the vinyl top. I put American Classic tires on it with the correct whitewall width and they have less than 1000 miles on them. I was backing in my driveway with the tailgate down on my truck with glaring evening sunlight when I tapped the left turn signal light and broke the lens. The chrome looks good with the exception of the center section of the rear bumper where the chrome is peeling. The dashboard is free of cracks and looks good. The steering wheel cover plastic is peeling which is typical of these Cadillacs. I noticed the seek and scan radio does not seek or scan anymore, but still works good. I am includingf two extra radios. The power antenna doesn't work. The engine starts quickly and easily and runs great. The transmission shifts fine with no issues. Front brake calipers and brake master cylinder was just replaced. Rear bumper fillers have been replaced. I have many extra parts that can go with this car; two extra radios,an extra set of factory floor mats, original sealed beam headlamps(not halogen), and other miscellaneous parts. This is a beautiful car with great lines and I hate to part with it, but 9 cars is too many and I don't have time for this one any more.

11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching
Fri, 26 Sep 2014This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.
GM CEO Akerson calls out Tesla, says Cadillac will compete on EVs
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Cadillac will be taking on Tesla Motors, the underdog EV manufacturer that's seen heaps of critical acclaim and stock market buzz with its most recent sedan, the Model S. "If you want to compete head-to-head with Tesla, and we ultimately will, you want to do it with a Cadillac," Dan Akerson, the chairman and CEO of General Motors, told media in Washington, according to The Detroit News.
Akerson continued, telling The News, "We'll sell more Volts and lose less money on the Volts than they'll lose on the Model S." He also took time to point out that Tesla getting vehicles out to customers isn't a guarantee of success or permanence, using Fisker as an example, saying "Does anybody even remember Fisker? I mean, there were a number of them; they are all gone."
This strong talk from Akerson comes after Doug Parks, another GM exec, let slip that the Detroit-based manufacturer has an EV in the works that will cover 200 miles per charge and only cost about $30,000, a massive upgrade over similarly priced EVs that struggle to top 100 miles per charge. Until that vehicle arrives, though, GM is preparing the Cadillac ELR, a small coupe that, like the Volt with which it shares technology, uses a gas engine as a mobile generator to recharge the batteries. Akerson took aim at Tesla again, saying, "But I do think when the ELR comes out late this year, early next - it's certainly the same postal code as Tesla, but now we're going to move up. It's not going to be a mass-produced car."
