Here is very nice 1975 Cadillac Coupe Deville. This car is in great shape, with low miles. I want to start off by saying that if anyone has any questions, or would like to come see the car, please contact me via ebay, or by telephone. I would like anyone who is interested in this car to feel confident if they decide to purchase it. This is an excellent example of a classic Caddy. This car also has many new parts, and some interesting extras included with it, which we will get into in a bit. Ok, with all that being said, lets get into the specifics about this great car.
- First, if you need more pictures, please go to Flickr.com, and go to caprala23's photo page. I got about 100 more pictures of the car on there, Ebay won't allow the link...
- 3 owner car, 66,000 original miles.
- No accidents, no smoking.
- Car is rot free, underside is immaculate. Interior is in excellent condition.
- BODY: The body is in great shape front to back. The car has seen a re-paint once, about 8 years ago. The paint job is decent, not show quality, but very presentable. There are a couple tiny chips here and there, but its only in the top coat. There is a very small, nickel-sized rust spot from paint peeling above a piece of the rocker trim. That's the only rust on the whole car. All the chrome is shiney, and in great shape, Bumpers, trim, all very nice. This Caddy has the Cabriolet package, which includes a vinyl half-top with special trim, and a see-through chrome hood ornament. Vinyl roof was re-done same time as paint. Floors, roof, trunk floor, frame, doors, and hood are solid as a rock.
- INTERIOR: The interior is above-average, and fantastic. It's tan, and features the very 70's Maharajah fabric pattern. You don't see this kind of pattern on anything anymore, especially cars. Everything is all original, and in great shape. The headliner, steering wheel, rear dash, and seats are perfect. The carpet is a little sun faded in some areas, due to age, and there is a tiny crack in the side of the dashboard. Everything else is near perfect.
- UNDERHOOD: Under the hood is the original 8.2L 500 c.i.d. engine. Runs great, and starts 1st time every time. Everything is still intact. The engine bay has been cleaned, and detailed. Air Conditioning is still intact, but not working. Convert it to R134A, and you'll be good to go.
- OPTIONS: This Cadillac is equipped with many power options, as a Caddy should be. Options include; Power windows, locks, seats and antenna. Also has cruise control, air conditioning, automatic headlights, tilt and telescoping steering column, 3-speed windsheild wipers, and power trunk pull-down.
- EXTRAS: Car comes with some great extras. Included is a COMPLETE REAR BODY FILLER KIT. This includes taillight surroundings, and rubber fillers for both sides. I would like to note that- these are not re-production pieces, they are original GM parts, and anyone who knows about Caddys, knows that these are like $400 for a re-production kit, and that originals are impossible to find. Ones on the car are perfect now, these are to have for spare, or use on your other Deville you got sitting around! ALSO INCLUDED, is all the original Maintenance Schedule, Consumer Information, Owners Manual, and heres the best part, included is a 24-page full-color Cadillac Options and Availability brochure for 1975. This is a very rare piece of literature to have. Would look great in the rear dash at a car show. This booklet includes; Color choices, Interior patterns, Model Availability, Specs, and just about anything you would have needed to know before you purchased your brand new 1975 Cadillac!
- NEW PARTS/WORK: Recent work includes; Complete engine tune-up; plugs, wires, dist.cap, and rotor, and Lucas oil change. Carb clean and adjust, along with a new fuel filter, New valve cover gaskets, Transmission filter, fluid, pan gasket, and tailshaft seal. New heater blower motor, New LH side exhaust manifold, and new manifold gaskets on both sides. All vacuum hoses have been replaced, new master cylinder, new belts, and all underhood wires have been cleaned, and tested. New front brake calipers, and new fuel hoses that go from sending unit to fuel lines. All ground connections have also been checked and cleaned.
- NEEDS: OK, 1st, let me just say, this car doesn't ''need'' anything to make it a great, running and driving dependable classic car. These are just some things that would make it better. Springs and shocks all around. The car doesn't bounce around or anything, but the springs are original, so its probably time to replace them, and why not do the shocks while your at it? As i mentioned before, the A/C needs some attention, basically just a retro-fit.
- NOT WORKING: The things not working are very minimal. There are a few light bulbs out in the speedo cluster in the dash. The power antenna works when it wants to, and the power trunk pull-down works, but not properly. Maybe someone with more knowledge of these can make it work right? The radio works, but there are a few speakers out.
- MY AUCTIONS RULES/GUIDELINES/PAYMENT: PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT PLAN ON PURCHASING AND FOLLOWING THROUGH. BID TO OWN. Contact me with any questions you have before bidding. A $500 non-refundable deposit will be made by winning bidder within 48 hours of auctions end via PAYPAL. The remaining balance will be paid within 10 DAYS, and in CASH. NO CHECKS, NO MONEY ORDERS, OR ANY OTHER FORMS OF PAYMENT. If you insist on paying full amount with paypal, then YOU will be responsible for paying the paypal fees that will occur, NOT ME. If you need to have the car shipped, I will assist in any way I can to make it a easy, smooth transaction.

Cadillac flagship, possible production Elimiraj, caught testing
Fri, 30 Aug 2013One of the biggest debuts at the Monterey car week, both literally and figuratively, was the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept. The massive coupe made quite a splash with the show's well-heeled guests. Now, we have what might be the very first images of the Elmiraj, or whatever it may be called when it reaches production, out testing.
Don't let that modified Chevrolet Caprice body fool you, this car is about four to six inches longer than Chevy's US-spec cop car, from the A-pillar forward. According to our spy, with the Caprice at 203 inches and the concept at 205, adding a few extra inches here and there fits the bill for the four-door Elmiraj that was hinted at in Jay Leno's Garage.
There are a number of other classic mule signs on this car, including a cover over the fuel door and heavily modified front and rear fascias, each of which serves to hide some significant change from the standard Caprice. Using a Caprice for development also, hopefully, hints at something that big Cadillacs like the XTS have lacked - rear-wheel drive.
GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
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.
