Up for bid is a 1979 Cadillac Le Cabriolet with 89k miles showing and I'm sure that's first time around based on history and driveability. This is a two owner car - first in Florida from new until '91, second until now. As you probably know, these cut Coupe de Ville rear wheel drive RWD cars were sold new at Cadillac dealers and built by Hess and Eisenhardt, the famous coachbuilder that also built the downsized 80's ElDorado and Riviera FWD convertibles. Depending on what you read on the internet, only 50-100 were built.
This is totally NOT a restored car. It's a daily driver with good paint, great body, solid underside, nice driving car that turns heads. It will not pass any Concours scrutiny, but will attract more attention at a stoplight than the 911 next to you. Body and undercarriage are solid as seen in pics. 425 Cadillac 4bbl V8 engine runs GREAT. TH400 transmission shifts great, too. Well equipped with power everything, most of which works, and cold a/c. Car was not driven regularly since 91 and has lots of new parts in getting her back on the road noted below. Was garage kept, so no water damage inside car.
NO RESERVE.

Condition Report
ENGINE: Runs on all eight cylinders without smoking, missing or knocking. Engine runs at proper temperature. Newer battery & starter & alternator & radiator & hoses & gas tank & fuel pump & fuel filter & oil & oil filter. Starts easy and runs strong; idles smoothly at warmup. Has a very slight lifter tick that I'm confident will go away completely with regular driving.
TRANSMISSION: Performs beautifully. Engages gears quickly and shifts through all forward gears and reverse with good downshift and torque converter performance. Clean fluid with no burn odors. Shift indicator does not move with gear selector.
EXTERIOR: Body: Body is in good shape with no major dents or dings. Has one repaint done decently but not perfect - see pics for minor imperfections pointed out. There is NO BONDO on the body except a few spots on the hood - no quarter or fender rot. Some minor bubbles under door lips as pictured. Other: Convertible top in good shape with one small patch as pictured (about 1/2 inch.) Aftermarket top with plastic back window, but I have the original glass back window with defroster if you want to install in heat sealed in a new curtain. Undercarriage is very nice - see the pics - no rot and only minor surface rust in a few spots. Factory undercoating mostly intact. Underhood sheet metal, trunk lip and door jambs have no rust as seen in pics. Bumpers are nice and shiny with no pitting or rust. Trunk floor is nice - no rust under mat. Sports later model aluminum Brougham wheels that look right on the car.
INTERIOR: Interior of the car is very nice. Front seats are not correct, rear seat covers not correct but seat frames/foam underneath ARE correct. Front seats are Coupe de Ville seats anyway, so if you really have to have correct seats, you can find from a CDV. Driver's armrest has a tear, right rear armrest has a crack but other interior components are in nice shape. Carpet nice but gathers/wrinkles near hump. No cracks on dash, no headliner on convertible top.
ELECTRICAL STUFF: All inspection items work (lights, horn, wipers, etc.) Power windows work correctly from all switches but occasionally need to tug on main switch to make all work. Heat works, a/c works, fan works! Has an aftermarket CD/radio that works great. Power antenna and cruise do not work. Power seats both work but slower than I'd like. Power locks click but only passenger side moves. Trunk release works fine.
DRIVEABILITY: Drives out nicely and steering is remarkably tight for one of these behemoths. Alignment is good, suspension is good, shocks are not bouncy. Brakes work well with good linings. Tires have about 50% tread remaining on a matched set of whitewall radials. Solid, quiet exhaust with no leaks. Drives out beautifully - I would not be afraid to drive it a long distance, but as with any old car, I'd bring a tool set.
Short version terms: Small non-refundable deposit as listed (but fast) by Paypal within 24 hours. Balance due in 5 days by cash in person, wire transfer, or Wells Fargo cashier's check. Will meet you or your transporter at my location by appointment after 6 pm weekdays or anytime weekends. No administrative fee on this auction. Any other costs - tax, emissions inspection, registration, shipping, etc. are buyer's responsibility - see full terms. 30 days to pick up. Temporary tags available at local license bureau on weekdays. WILL PICK YOU UP AT THE CHARLESTON, SC INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT weekday evenings or any time weekends. Inspections are strongly encouraged, but by appointment only - please email or call. By bidding, you agree you are satisfied with the item description. Note that pickup times are by appointment only also - just call! Prepaid vehicles scheduled for transport can be picked up any time with at least 24 business hours' notice - have your driver call me. I'm happy to drive the car to a nearby large parking lot for easier truck loading. See my about me page for full terms.

General Motors has issued a stop-sale order on the Cadillac CTS and SRX, both of which were recalled late last month. Why the stop-sale after all this time? Well, um, GM apparently doesn't know how to fix them.
The stop-sale covers all used Cadillac CTS sedans, coupes and wagons from model years 2003 to 2013, as well as new 2014 coupes and wagons. The SRX crossover stop-sale, meanwhile, only covers used vehicles from model years 2004 to 2006.
Automotive News reached out to GM spokesperson Alan Adler, who told the news pub that the company's engineers were "looking at one common solution" for the affected vehicles, although "they don't have it yet."

Cadillac will unveil the next Escalade in October, at an event in New York City. It will be the sole member of GM's large SUV family to not get a debut at the Texas State Fair, which we don't think is all that surprising, considering the kind of clientele attracted by the big Caddy.
The new truck, from the few teaser images and spy shots we've seen, has evolved with the rest of the Cadillac range. We've got a glimpse of its tall, thin headlights, which look like an evolution of what's on the current truck. Expect some kind of egg-crate grille, reminiscent of the new CTS and ATS, while Cadillac's CUE system should feature heavily in what we hope is a thoroughly revised cabin.
The event takes place on October 7, so check back then for more info on the all-new Escalade.

Following the introduction of the redesigned Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, we're expecting General Motors won't wait too much longer to show off the next-generation fullsize SUVs that share this platform - including the Cadillac Escalade. It's still not clear if the next Escalade will debut for the 2014 or 2015 model years, but Carscoops has what it claims to an exclusive first look of the new Cadillac, revealing a portion of the headlight, front fascia and wheel.
Judging from this small picture, it looks like the Escalade could incorporate styling cues that we've seen on new Cadillac models like the ELR and the 2014 CTS, but that article says that other design details could include tall, vertical taillights similar to the CTS Wagon, staggered-width wheels and a narrower daylight opening for the side windows. The last time we saw the fourth-generation 'Slade back in October in spy shots, the heavy camouflage prevented us from getting an idea of the luxury SUV's appearance, but this image and description gives us something to look forward to. Head on over to Carscoops for more potential information as well as a full rendering from back in January.
