While it was never a sales monster, the Corvette-based Cadillac XLR has started to catch the eye of collectors and enthusiasts everywhere. The low-slung, wedge shape has stood the test of time, continuing to emit a sophisticated sportiness like nothing else we've ever seen, thanks in part to its two-seat retractable hardtop configuration. This particular 2005 Cadillac XLR, decked out in striking Shale Metallic, has just 30,495 miles on its odometer and is ready for a new owner to jump behind the wheel and enjoy the thrill of luxurious open-air driving.
Step inside, and you'll find an original Beige-colored leather interior offset by contrasting woodgrain trim on the center console, door armrests, and steering wheel. Imbued with the epitome of luxury of its day, this XLR gets heated power bucket seats, power locks, power windows, power mirrors, cruise control, air conditioning, a trick heads-up display, and an upgraded Pioneer AM/FM/AUX/Bluetooth double DIN touchscreen. An analog tach and speedometer sit just ahead of the three-spoke steering wheel featuring thumb controls and its Cadillac crest emblem.
Under that steeply raked hood, we find Cadillac's unique 4.6-liter dual overhead cam, 32-valve Northstar V-8 engine. This engine features variable valve timing and produces 320 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque in stock form. That impressive power is routed through a five-speed automatic transmission before being sent to the 2.93-rear-end gear ratio, which allows for comfortable cruising at any speed.

This 2005 Cadillac XLR rides on a factory front- and rear-independent suspension that makes light work of uneven pavement. Eighteen-inch, seven-spoke wheels shod in low-profile rubber work in conjunction with a set of four-wheel power disc brakes to allow you to carve up canyon roads or lazily make your way down the interstate in style. So, while GM may not have sold as many of these future classics as it had hoped, that rarity, combined with a unique package of high-end luxury and performance capabilities, makes this XLR the perfect car to add to your collection.
