Please e-mail me with questions or to set up an inspection to see the car in person. AUCTION MAY BE STOPPED AT ANY TIME.
Vehicle came out of Nebraska. Previous owner had done an older body-on restoration on the vehicle sometime in the early to mid 1990s. Recently it has received a NEW convertible top, pads, cables etc. as well as a recent set of big whitewall tires. This is a nearly RUST-FREE CAR that is turn-key and ready to drive anywhere.
OPTIONS:
Power steering
Power brakes
Air Conditioning
Power convertible top
Power adjustable bench seat
390ci V8 motor
Automatic transmission on column
Whitewall tires
Under the hood lies a virtually all stock and unmodified 390ci motor. Meticulously serviced throughout its life. Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great along with the nice and throaty stock exhaust system. Transmission is solid and shifts good without any noises or grinding. I drive the car about once every other week for short trips around down or every once in a while I'll take it to a cruise night on the highway. It has never let me down and always performs great.
Interior is basically all stock and was COMPLETELY REDONE during the older restoration. Door panels in excellent shape. Dash is very clean. Seats in excellent shape throughout with only minor wear and a couple of small "pinch" rips by bottom of driver's side. Carpet is presentable but a little loose and could use replacing. Convertible top is in nearly new condition with brand new rear window. Overall beautifully presentable for a high end driver.
Underside has a SOLID frame with NO rot or major rust anywhere that I was able to see. Floors appear very nice as well, and may have had a couple of small patches in the past. Trunk pan looks very good with NO holes or rot.
The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is in VERY GOOD shape throughout, and although it looks fairly good with plenty of shine, it has various small imperfections here and there as you would expect from a car being driven. Hood could use minor alignment adjustment as it sits a bit high in the back. Not working: radio, horn, a/c (all there and hooked up, just needs servicing), may need a bulb or two replaced here and there where needed. Missing: spare/jack, top boot, front hood crest, glove box lock & key, may be missing a couple of small trim pieces here and there. Convertible top works up and down fine, but slow (most likely needs hydraulic fluid fill-up). Brakes work fine, but car may need a wheel cylinder or two replaced as it leans to the right when braking hard. Small exhaust leak. Driver's side window switch works on/off (needs contacts cleaned, I was able to make the windows work from driver's side after cleaning contacts). Bumpers have a couple of dents here and there.
So overall she is not perfect and will need some form of very minor TLC and/or tinkering depending on how nice you want it to be and what you plan to do with the car. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 50 years old so keep that in mind.
If you just want a GREAT LOOKING TURN-KEY DRIVER then this is the car for you. If you want a show car, it will need some work to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

Cadillac could 'flourish' in Australia, says marketing chief
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Cadillac might have its best product mix in recent history, and GM's luxury brand is looking to expand. In fact, it might even be making a trip Down Under, at least according to the company's global marketing chief.
Uwe Ellinghaus spoke with Australian site Car Advice at the Geneva Motor Show and said the brand could be quite successful there. "[The] goodwill that the Cadillac brand has is such a good starting base that once we get proper volume commitment and a dealer network behind it we can easily flourish," he said, though he warned that the plans are still in their earliest stages and years away. First, Cadillac will expand in markets with the highest possible sales, like China and Russia.
Ellinghaus said that the most likely models for Oz would be the SRX, Escalade and CTS; the latter would probably act as a replacement for the Holden Commodore. GM's Australian arm is ending local production in 2017, and there have been many rumors about what is happening to the big sedan. However, Ellinghaus admits exporting cars from the US to Australia is going to mean higher prices. In addition to the expense, Cadillac doesn't currently build any right-hand-drive models. It would likely take until the end of the decade before the Aussie models could be ready.
Opel director Sedran to succeed Docherty as Chevy Europe boss
Wed, 26 Jun 2013When longtime General Motors executive Susan Docherty announced she would be stepping down from her post as the head of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe, there was some idle chatter that plans for the creation of a new global overseer position for the Bowtie brand was behind the move. And while US sales chief Alan Batey has indeed assumed control of Chevy worldwide since her departure announcement, Docherty's vacancy is being filled after all, with Opel chief strategist Thomas Sedran taking up the reins.
That's according to Automotive News, who reports that Sedran will be tasked with pulling Chevy out of a sales funk, much of it pegged on Europe's stagnant auto industry, which has sunk to a 20-year low. AN notes that Chevy's EU sales plunged 32 percent to 57,584 units through the first five months of 2013, but the everyday value brand is faring worlds better than Cadillac, which has sold just 167 units in Europe over the same time period.
Sedran, 48, has been in the auto industry for over 20 years. Most recently, at Opel he had been working on long-term plans for the marque, and was appointed to the brand's management board in April of last year. Prior to joining GM, Sedran was employed as a management consultant for AlixPartners, where he worked closely with Opel for six years. Sedran will assume his new duties beginning July 1.
Cadillac to vie for Secret Service armored car contract, new Beast?
Wed, 03 Jul 2013President Obama has used the same armored limo since his inauguration in 2008. Known by many as The Beast, the Presidential Limo was provided by Cadillac and earned its nickname in large part because of its massive size, which isn't surprising considering that its Caddy-shaped bodywork is said to sit atop a heavy-duty truck chassis.
It seems the Secret Service may be in the market for a Beast replacement, having issued a request for proposals for a new armored limo. According to Motor Trend, Obama's backup limo is a leftover from the Bush Administration, so it will be interesting to see if this new machine will serve as a replacement for The Beast or for its backup. The contract is to be awarded by September 29, 2013.
The boys from MT contacted Cadillac, Lincoln and Chrysler, and Chrysler is the only one that would confirm that it is not pursuing the contract. Cadillac may have the inside track, as it has provided Presidential limos since 1993, but Lincoln also has a long and storied history of chauffeuring the President.
