1960 Cadillac “California” Coupe

My Intention Is To Sell This Coupe With EVERY Nut And Bolt I Have!

I WILL NOT “Part Out”, So Please Don’t Ask.

Not Interested In Trades

Born In California, Purchased In Hershey, PA in 2007

I have a number of other interests that will prevent me from completing this coupe. Much of it has been completed by a very experience body man and professional welders who know how to produce exceptional customizations.

I completely understand anyone can buy a 60 Cadillac "running" for $20K, but more than likely, will need restored or at least "refreshed". To restore a 60 Caddy Coupe will cost you a minimum $50K for a "fairly nice" driver. $100K for a strong show car. So many steps, so much to accomplish. Tons of cash!

I've done most of the hard work. A good chunk of the body work cost, chrome cost per much done. Yes there is more, but its the "start" that's the hardest part. Now it's just discussions to make?

60 Coupe Body

This 60 coupe was brought in from California where is spent its entire life until 2006. It was titled in MI for a few months until I purchased it. Rust free and in excellent condition. I purchased it in Hershey at the annual Antique Auto Show on October, 2007.

The body was completely soda blasted, sanded and sealed approximately 3 months later. The under carriage was COMPLETELY stripped of all Cosmoline (used in firearm preservative), neutralize, sanded and painted black. The undercarriage is in beautiful, rust free condition.

The body is 80% finished with frenched doors with door poppers. All stainless trim has been removed and mounting holes filled. Left and right inner rockers have been repaired along with other miscellaneous repairs.

The left and right side “rear body” light extensions will need minor repair.

In terms of corrosion, this car was incredibly clean.

I have every original nut, bolt and washer for this car. They have been turned and cleaned.

Engine/Engine Bay:

This is or was to be a “custom, one off” 60 Cadillac. The engine bay frame was designed and EXPERTLY engineered to house a 496 cu.in. BB Chevy, that will includes a polished aluminum motor plate and custom made headers that fit perfectly and they have been power coated. No motor mounts were planned to be used, but ultimately it would be the new owner choice.

This 496 BB should produce approximately 500hp. The motor does not include the carburetor, but the intake is intact. Very nice motor that will push this 4,600 lb. Caddy around nicely. You won’t find finer metal work on an automobile. I do have the center link and driveshaft, but it will need to be cut and shortened.

Chrome Plating – Librandi’s, Middletown, PA.

I don’t have to tell anyone the COST and EXPENSIVE of getting parts rechromed. The list includes every part that has been stripped and beautifully rechromed.

I will apologize beforehand if I have forgotten a few parts, but there is SO MUCH still wrapped and I would prefer not unwrapping them until someone is actually interested in this car.

There are 49 chromed parts at last count at a cost exceeding $14,000.00.

All chrome pieces have been stored inside in a dry environment and coated with WD-40 and ALWAYS recoated from time to time, just to be sure! These chromed parts are in GORGEOUS condition! You get it ALL!

BOTTOM LINE IS: “IF WAS CHROME, IT WAS RE-CHROMED”!

** Shipping this car and all parts would be complex and expensive undertaking. I would prefer local pickup only at this point, but would assist in packing and loading it all up if someone outside the area is interested.

I've never shipped a car oversea's or to Canada, so I prefer local pickup only.

I will accept fair offers, but PLEASE don’t waste with frivolous ones. I don’t have time for them. The FACT is I have over $38K invested in this car.

If you are interesting in discussing this car, please email me your name and phone number and when it is best for me to call you.

I will not communicate thru email. If your serious about this car, you will want to talk!!

Cash, Bank Transfer or Certified Bank Check Only.

HURRY before I change my mind!

I appreciate your time. I know it's alot of reading, but I felt it was necessary for everyone to understand what they can expect.

Cadillac confirms 420-hp twin-turbo V6 for 2014 CTS [w/videos]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

The 2014 CTS will break cover next week at the New York Auto Show, but Cadillac has released a few details of what we can expect to find under the car's hood. As we saw in some spy shots back in January, the biggest news for the midsize Caddy will be a twin-turbocharged V6 producing a whopping 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
This LF3 engine will be paired to a new eight-speed automatic transmission, which will help balance performance and fuel economy. We still don't know how much the 2014 CTS has grown in terms of size and weight, but General Motors says that new sedan will return 17 miles per gallon in the city and 25 mpg highway with the new engine to go with a 0-60 mile per hour time of 4.6 seconds - that means the new CTS will have the fuel economy close to the current base model sedan and acceleration not too far from the current CTS-V. General Motors also confirmed that this twin-turbo V6 will be available in the 2014 XTS this fall.
The next-generation CTS will carry over the 3.6-liter V6 from the current car (likely as a base engine) and also add the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder from the ATS. Check out all the details on this new engine and watch a few videos (including GM's nifty tilt rig) by scrolling below.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

South Dakota dealer filled to brim with classic cars

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

Other than the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Mount Rushmore, South Dakota isn't generally a hot topic, but that just means that cool stuff can hide in the open waiting to be discovered. Case in point: the classic car dealer Frankman Motor Company that operates three locations in Sioux Falls, SD.
Unearthed by the folks at Bring a Trailer, Frankman is a treasure trove of vintage, American iron. Their collection is full of the type of vehicles your irresponsible but cool uncle would show up with when you were a kid. Even better, these cars are priced at a level a working man can afford.
If you are lusting about a cruiser then Frankman has a 1956 Cadillac Deville Hard Top Sedan (pictured right) with 82,896 miles for $12,975. It's painted a color called Cascade Grey, but looks more like a pastel purple in pictures. While it needs some repairs to the accessories, the Caddy runs and drives, which is all you really need.
