New to me '13 Coupe

Hi everyone! Picked this up in Moncton, NB at the end of July with just over 13K kms. First Cadillac I've ever owned and it's awesome. Took it on a road trip to NL and it ran great. Averaged about 10.5l/100 kms or 25 mpg at 100 kph. These cars aren't very plentiful in Halifax and the coupes even less so. It might just be a keeper!

My, how time flies by! I guess it wasn't a keeper after all. But here's a little story. Traded it in July '18 at a local used car dealer for a 2014 Accord EX-L coupe with a V6 and 6-speed manual plus a fistfull of cash. Well a few months ago I wished I had never traded her i.e. belayed seller's remorse. This past weekend, a '13 white automatic coupe with 49K kms shows up on the same dealer's lot. Luckily, My wife is a car gal and gave the nod to buying her. So I trade the same '14 Accord back to the dealer but this time he gets a fistfull of cash! No buyer's remorse for us. My real keeper is my '76 vette I've owned since 1988. Here are a few pics.

How would I be able to tell if it's a wide body?

 

[tinman]

Are there fender flairs? Or is the exterior stock?

It is a stock body.

I must be getting old and blind, lol.

I could be wrong about the body...i am going to confirm several details later today. The gentleman I purchased the car from is coming by to answer some questions for me. I believe the car was run on E85 and was switched back to pump gas and a meth/distilled water mix.

I will also have the complete parts/mod list today. A couple details I do remember:
*BTR stage 3 cam
*Tim King built transmission

Great list of parts. I’d guess around 700whp and a blast to drive.

I'm loving it. I was told 791 HP to the wheels but I cannot confirm that.

Your guess is as good as mine lol. Mine has a built 427 LSX with 1600 injectors and a triple pump fire system and it makes mid 800s on a conservative tube. It’s all about how aggressive the tunes are.

Met him at the truck stop last night. Finally scored a v-wagon even if it's not a three pedal.
