Elgin, Illinois, United States
|
Selling my 1976 cadillac convertible,I bought this car from an older gentleman which had it sitting in his garage for the last 15 years,it is originally from Arizona so there is no rust at all,however it has been re-painted in its original color about 20 years ago,I consider it a nice driver quality paint and it gets a lot of thumbs up from everybody that sees it. I invested a lot of money into getting this car back on the road,complete new braking system,pads,rotors,calipers,hoses,stainless steel brake lines,master cylinder,new front and rear shocks,new rear springs,new radiator,new Coker Classic white wall tires,new front wheel bearings,new pitman arm and I also had the sun damaged dashboard removed and re-upholstert,at this point I also had a CD player installed to replace the cassette radio which was installed sometime in the 80s,the transmission was re-built by the previous owner and has less then 1200 miles on it,I do have the receipt for this.the only thing that is not working on this car as of right now is the cruise control and the A/C.i was really looking forward to cruising this beauty this summer but after spending all this money on it some scumbag cut the top on it while I had it parked outside my house,the top itself is working fine but the fabric needs to be replaced.i spent all the money I could on this car and I am broke now,so I am selling it and hopefully it will find a good home and somebody who has the resources to replace the top on it and enjoy this great ride. The car runs an drives like a dream! If you have any questions feel free to call/text me at 630 946 7502. Sold as is,where is! Shipping is the buyers responsibility, I will gladly assist with loading it on to a trailer or truck. I forgot to mention, it also comes with the hard shell parade boot and a custom car cover

Carpool Deville aims to be the world's fastest hot tub
Wed, 16 Jul 2014The world needs crazy inventors with wild dreams. While we might not long for the things that they create, their contraptions certainly make the day a little more enjoyable. Take the Carpool Deville as an example. Nobody (well, almost nobody) is asking for a hot tub fashioned from a 1969 Cadillac that is still drivable. But now that you know that such a beast exists, don't try to tell us you aren't at least intrigued.
The team behind the six-year-long project has a pretty ingenious setup worked out. The Caddy's original 472-cubic-inch (7.7-liter) V8 both provides propulsion and heats the water. The interior is entirely replaced with a watertight, fiberglass tub that includes working jets, and the controls are all done by hand.
As if just building a mobile hot tub isn't enough, the team behind the Carpool Deville plans to take it racing too. Specifically, they intend to go to the Bonneville Salt Flats later this year to make a top speed run while immersed in water at over 100 degrees. They even have a roll cage all set to install to meet the safety requirements there.
Seinfeld and Don Rickles stretch out in classic Caddy for latest CiCGC
Thu, 04 Jul 2013It's no surprise that for the newest episode of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, airing for the first time on the 4th of July, that a couple of American classics are involved. You'll Never Play the Copa unites Seinfeld with legendary curmudgeon Don Rickles, driving around in a stunner of a 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Seville in Gleneagles Green (upholstery wrapped in Grandma-spec plastic, of course).
Mr. Rickles really steals the show in this one - maybe our favorite CiCGC to date - though the Eldorado plays a strong-jawed costarring role, for sure. Stories about Ronald Regan, Frank Sinatra, Billy Graham and, of course, Herkie Styles are more than worth the price of admission. Check it out below.
Playboy reveals its 2013 Cars of the Year
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Vaunted men's magazine Playboy knows that its readers are nearly as interested in cars as they are in the female anatomy... sorry, we thought we could write that with a straight face. Anyway, the buff-book does occasionally fill some of its spreads with sexy metal, to accent all the rest of the sexiness.
To wit, the magazine has unveiled its feature on the 2013 Cars of the Year. Without giving us much in the way of criteria for the awards, nor a clear framing of the categories ("Responsible Ride" is a particularly challenging concept, especially when you consider that the Mazdaspeed3 was the winner), Playboy has nevertheless highlighted what we assume to be it's favorite 12 or 13 (depending on how you count) cars from the 2013 model year.
Headlining the class is the Porsche 911, which Playboy writers single out for having "remarkable electronic voodoo." BMW M5 is named "Slickest Sports Sedan" though the Cadillac ATS then follows on because "we couldn't resist giving the new Caddy a shout-out." The rest of the picks are pretty conventional (save, perhaps, the Honda Fit EV as "Ace Electric"), even if the categories and methodology are fairly wonky. Cruise through or gallery for a taste or check out the full list, here. The site is safe for work, and you can legitimately (this time) say that you were reading it for the articles.
