Tim Allen has commissioned a number of modified automobiles for his large automobile assortment, and now there’s an opportunity to personal one among them. Presently a part of the Petersen Automotive Museum assortment, this 2000 Cadillac Seville DTSi is up on the market on Automobiles & Bids.

New for the 2000 mannequin 12 months, the eighth-generation DeVille was no efficiency automobile, even in DeVille Touring Sedan (DTS) type. However this sedan was modified by Cadillac and Michigan-based Wheel to Wheel for the “Instrument Man,” in accordance with the sale itemizing.

The DeVille left the manufacturing unit with Cadillac’s 4.6-liter Northstar V-8, which produced 300 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque in inventory type. Ported and polished cylinder heads, higher-compression pistons, and new consumption and exhaust programs boosted output to a claimed 398 hp, although the itemizing notes {that a} dyno sheet is just not out there to verify that.

The inventory 4-speed automated transmission and front-wheel drive had been retained, which seems like a recipe for torque steer. Cadillac would quickly shift again to rear-wheel drive for many of its sedans, paving the best way for a number of generations of V-Sequence efficiency fashions.

The DTSi rides an inch decrease than a inventory DTS, and has polyurethane bushings, aftermarket entrance and rear springs, a 30-mm entrance antiroll bar, and a entrance strut tower brace. The entrance brakes had been upgraded as effectively, with Brembo 4-piston calipers and 14-inch drilled and vented rotors.

Delicate styling adjustments trace that that is no atypical DeVille. The large sedan rolls on 18-inch Konig wheels and has an aluminum grille, carbon-fiber facet skirts, and a trunk lid insert credited to “Tim Allen Design.” The inside is usually inventory, with some tech options that will have been thought-about innovative on the flip of the century, together with a head-up show and night time imaginative and prescient.

The odometer at the moment reveals simply 13,400 miles, and the automobile seems to be in good condition other than 2013 date-coded tires, a lacking Cadillac grille badge, and a handful of minor beauty flaws.

The DTSi wasn’t the one modified land yacht Allen commissioned. In a 2021 video tour of his automobile assortment, he confirmed off a 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS with the LT5 V-8 from a C4 Corvette ZR-1, able to a claimed 12.9-second quarter-mile time. His assortment additionally contains every thing from a Ford RS200 Group B rally homologation particular to a restomodded 1968 Chevy Camaro.

As of the time of publication, the excessive bid was $32,500 with 4 days to go within the public sale. There isn’t any reserve, so the automobile will promote, prone to a Tim Allen fan who appreciates this oddity.
