For 2010, it seems we&#8217;ve run out of new muscle cars to auction off, but Cadillac decided to take advantage of a captive and wealthy audience to unload the very first production 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe. We&#8217;d probably be more interested if it was a CTS-V Coupe, as we don&#8217;t see a run-of-the-mill two-door CTS becoming a collectible, regardless of when it was produced. <\/p>\n<p>Still, we can&#8217;t fault Cadillac <em>too <\/em>much for bringing the first CTS Coupe to Barrett-Jackson, since all of the winning bid minus the cost of the car will be donated to the College for Creative Studies. The top bidder doesn&#8217;t get this exact car, but instead gets to special-order his or her own CTS Coupe with the choice of color, engine, transmission, trim, and any options. So what&#8217;s it worth? The car sold yesterday for a respectable price of $95,700 including buyers commission. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-production-2011-cadillac-cts-coupe\/low\/\">First Production 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-production-2011-cadillac-cts-coupe\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/4f774_firstctscoupebj01_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-production-2011-cadillac-cts-coupe\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/c2a8d_firstctscoupebj02_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-production-2011-cadillac-cts-coupe\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/c2a8d_firstctscoupebj03_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-production-2011-cadillac-cts-coupe\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/9173f_firstctscoupebj04_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-production-2011-cadillac-cts-coupe\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/9173f_firstctscoupebj05_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n<em><strong>Photos by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drewphillipsphotography.com\/\">Drew Phillips<\/a><\/strong><\/em><em><strong> \/ <\/strong><\/em><em><strong>Copyright (C)2010 Weblogs, Inc.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/23\/first-production-cts-coupe-goes-to-highest-bidder-at-barrett-jac\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>First production 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe goes to highest bidder at Barrett-Jackson<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/23\/first-production-cts-coupe-goes-to-highest-bidder-at-barrett-jac\/\">First production 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe goes to highest bidder at Barrett-Jackson<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Sat, 23 Jan 2010 16:29:00 EST.
