The SEVENTH picture you see is what the car looked like when I purchased it over a year ago. I bought the car to experiment with giving a car a natural patina look and using my art skills I accomplished a bad-ass look on the hood, top, and trunk lid, the remainder of the car I was more subtle and had to be because the front left and right fenders are abs plastic and I painted them to look rusted, but on Saturday June 8, 2013, I painted the sides matte blue (see photos). I bought this car from the second owner who was a Union 76 service station owner in my town. The title is clear and in my name, this is NOT a flip or story about the car is a friend's and I'm selling it for them... This is my car! With that out of the way, at 142,466 miles the car was given a new set of Michelin Harmony 95T tires all the way around. P205/70R15, a full lube job, windshield wipers, smog inspection( and yes it did pass, California is real particular about that). At the same time, the serpentine belt was replaced, the cooling system was serviced, and the car was made road ready. It's fun to drive and you definitely get the looks, more on that in a minute. Yes, the wheels are orange, they are NOT painted, they were professionally powder-coated by Armando at PERMACOLOR in my town. Center caps were purchased new on ebay and installed. On December 3, 2012 a new First Interstate battery was installed, along with BG pad protectors. The car was professionally lowered by the award-winning team at Scott's Hotrods N Customs in Oxnard, Ca. Cadillacs have an automatic load lifter so when people sit in the back seat the car will raise up, this was disconnected, but not removed and if desired it can be reconnected. The factory radio does not work, but the clock in it lights up, so it may be a fuse on the back of the radio, but I'm too old to crawl under the dash and look, but I will include a nos Kenwood KDC stereo radio and CD player in the box in the purchase... ya gotta have tunes. There is a crusty bubble at the side rear of the drivers side, just up and left of the gas filler door. (see photos) and the trunk will close, but it's a little tricky and does take some finesse. Dependable, YES... I had the car gone through so that it is always road-ready, starts right up  and when you put your foot down, the car knows what you want to do., Headlamps, turn signals, brake lights, dome light, door lights, back up lights, license plate lights all work, gauges work fine and the mileage is true. Brakes are fine and the tranny and engine perform as they should. Lots of room in this car. The interior is white with the expection of the center armrest which is tan and I recently replaced and in great condition, although the seats could use a good scrubbing, personally, I would have them dyed white, it's faster and they would look new if you did. The carpet and dash are blue, vinyl top is in good condition. I added a Stroh's Beer Tap to the selector, it's old, since it has Detroit 26, Michigan rather than a zip code on it. (see photo) I yellowed the front turn signals and blacked out the grille center see photo and compare to the original shot of the car. 

The oil was changed on January 2, 2013 with Castrol Syntec, and of course the filter was changed, fittings lubricated and all the usual belts, brakes, lights, tire pressure, etc. were checked and are fine. When the car was lowered it was pointed out to me that the left ilnner tie rod end should be replaced and it was on January 21, 2013, On that same day the transmission cooler hoses and clamps were repaired and a new transmission filter kit and fluid were installed.  There's a small leak with the oil pan gasket, but it is not spotting my driveway, I'm just telling you, because I know what it is like to purchase a vehicle online. It's not worth the cost to change it, but if you're a wrencher, go ahead. I had the valve cover gaskets changed on Friday June 7, 2013, a small crack in the windshield repaired by Safelite, and a front-end alignment done... all last weee. I had the engine and under-chasis professionally degreased... In California, this is something that you have to go to a pro; You can't just do it in your driveway... big fine if you get caught.. and it was only a hundred bucks. Put the key in, start it up and go. NOW, about the pictures: The hood, top, and trunk were originally painted to look rusty... but I wanted a great patina, so I ground, used a little magic liquid, and then clear coated to bring out that brown patina we all love. The front fenders I've described. I had a sign painter paint the doors with advertising from an a place that use to exist in Detroit (which is where I use to live, but moved to Ca. in 1978). That's why the rear license plate, which is abs plastic is painted to look rusty and says Detroit, there's a tiger in the back window (as in Detroit Tiger), there's a Stroh's beer tap on the selector... and, by the way, that's a 1955 Chevrolet hood ornament I used to replace the standard Cadillac emblem on the hood. The signs painted on the front doors has been sanded and is barely visible now, to make it look like it has weathered over the years.  I've popped off the side plastic... ugly... the trim over the rear wheels and the mirror casings are plastic but painted to look rusty (see photos), and the rear tail light surrounds and between the trunk lid and bumper are a kind of rubber/plastic, but painted to look like they are rusting.... This was something I wanted to try on a car to get the effect... I painted the sides of the car on Saturday, June 8, 2013 a matte blue (SEE PHOTOS). If you're not building and customizing your car, you're probably wasting time in front of the TV. Thank you for looking at this auction and I hope you enjoy the car as much as I have. There's a low reserve and please take a look at the photos to get a better idea of the "LQQK" of the car. Of course, this vehicle is sold as-is, where-is and it is the buyers responsibility to arrange transportation or pick-up of vehicle within 5 days of close of sale. i DRIVE THE CAR REGULARLY, 'CAUSE IT'S COOL! so, that being said, the mileage when you get the car will be somewhere between 144,500 and 145,099 miles. HAPPY BIDDING!
If you have a rating of less than 25 on ebay, or less than 99 percent, your bid will be rejected. "0" rookie bidders are asked to move along.

2015 Cadillac ATS sedan gets early reveal in making-of video

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Cadillac is apparently preparing to roll out a minor facelift for the ATS sedan - which we know not because General Motors has already revealed it or because we're looking at it in a fresh batch of spy shots (though we've seen that too), but because a behind-the-scenes video from the filming of its commercial has leaked out online. Which may be bad news for Cadillac, and even worse news for the film production company, but good news for us, because we get to see it ahead of schedule.
The revised sports sedan seems to be sporting a new front bumper and less egg-cratey grille with Caddy's new wreath-less badge at its center, all apparently put in place to bring the sedan more in line with the new ATS coupe.
We're sure Cadillac will be revealing the updated 2015 ATS sedan shortly, but you can scope it out right now in the video below. By way of comparison, we've included an image gallery of the current ATS, released back in 2013, as well.

Cadillac to launch Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology in two years [w/video]

Sun, 07 Sep 2014

We all know that self-driving cars are coming. It's not so much a question of If so much as When. And when it comes to General Motors products, we now have something of a date to work with, as Cadillac has announced plans to roll out what it is calling Super Cruise technology in an unnamed new model within the next two years. As you would expect, this new tech can speed the car up, slow it down and keep it in its intended lane, but GM isn't expected to release a fully self-driving car, saying that it will still require "an attentive driver."
We're not quite sure what new model Cadillac will use to launch this new technology, but our best guess would be its upcoming LTS sedan. Other possibilities may include a new crossover - we've heard rumors of CUVS coming from Caddy both above and below the current SRX - or entry-level sedan, but those seem less likely than a high-dollar flagship like the LTS.
The next techy bit of kit currently being shown off by Cadillac engineers includes vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, technology which would seemingly allow cars to travel in close proximity to one another, with less danger of collisions. According to our friends at Engadget, GM is working with the University of Michigan to outfit some 120 miles of roads in and around Detroit, MI, with the requisite sensors to make all this technology possible.

2015 Cadillac ATS-V gunning for the BMW M3

Mon, 03 Jun 2013

Spy photographers have spotted something interesting. Cadillac engineers have taken to public streets with the upcoming ATS-V and a playmate: the current BMW M3 Sedan. The prototype seen here wears a more aggressive front fascia, flared fenders and beefy brakes. Quad exhaust tips and what looks to be a small lip spoiler on the trunk deck sum up the most obvious visual changes over the standard ATS outside. Word has it the ATS-V will bow with the same twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 available in the nose of the XTS. In that application, the engine is good for a stout 410 horsepower, which should be more than enough to hustle the sedan around a track.
Other details are still murky, however. First and foremost: will GM offer the ATS-V with an honest manual transmission, like it does with its big brother, the CTS-V? Something tells us we won't have long to wait to find out - the machine will likely bow next year as a 2015 model. Until then, dig in on our newest bevy of spy photos.
