Yahoo Autos Tim Allen's one-off 2000 Cadillac DeVille DTSi is for sale on Cars & Bids
Launched for the 2000 model year, the eighth-generation Cadillac DeVille was offered in two basic configurations: High Luxury Sedan (DHS) and Touring Sedan (DTS). The latter was marketed as the sportier of the two options, but actor Tim Allen seemingly found its performance credentials unconvincing. He commissioned a quicker one-off model named DTSi, and his dream Cadillac is up for sale on Cars & Bids.
Owned and listed by the Petersen Automotive Museum, the one-of-a-kind DTSi started life as a standard DTS built during the first year of eighth-generation DeVille production. Allen worked closely with Cadillac and a Michigan-based company called Wheel to Wheel to design the car — keep in mind that this was over 20 years ago, well before the recent wave of customer-commissioned one- and few-off models. The sedan's 4.6-liter Northstar V8 gained higher-compression pistons, ported and polished cylinder heads, a larger intake system, and stainless-steel headers, and it exhales through a Corsa Performance exhaust system. These changes had a big impact on performance.
