This Coupe de Ville was an unrestored Alberta car, never been apart when I bought it. Beautiful glass, original interior. It's been 100% mechanically restored with new engine, transmission, radiator, complete electrical system, brakes, exhaust, tires, etc. Don't waste your cash on a repainted car that still needs everything mechanical...here is a rust free car that will last a lifetime.

It's had every bit of steel work done, replaced with handmade, perfectly fit panels; several body mounts, inner & outer full rockers, quarter bottoms, trunk drops, floors. It is 100% steel, zero bodywork, what you see is epoxied & painted steel only. Even the insides of the rockers were epoxy painted before assembly. POR15 entire bottom side, seam sealed inside and out. What wasn't replaced is still in the only paintjob it ever had in the 1960s, original color which is Chantilly Maroon w/Alpine White roof. 

The motor is brand new rebuilt by Precision Machine in North Vancouver, '57 365, .030 pistons from Egge Machine, 10:1 CR, factory 2x4 Eldorado cam grind, Edelbrock 1406 carb, pertronics elecronic ign, all new internally and externally, alt, starter, battery, carb, all new. Fresh paint on everything. Brand new re-cored radiator by Richardson Rad, all hoses and heater hose new. Bendstens adapter and re-built GM 700R4 OD trans, custom driveshaft, new U-joints. New custom 2" exhaust, shortened Smithys glasspacks, exits through bumper as factory.

All electrical is new, Painless deluxe kit, every bulb holder, wire, all charging system, all of it new, converted to GM 3-wire alternator. All electric windows work great. 
Fuel tank got the POR tank treatment inside and out, all new fuel lines & hoses. 

Blasted, epoxy & painted original rims, new Coker Firestone Deluxe Champion 8.20x15 WWW tires. Front suspension rebuild including trunnion shafts and kingpin kit, all new. 
The rear leafs were disassembled, cleaned, re assembled with poly spring liner, 4" blocks, 1 1/2 coils were cut from each front spring. New sway bar dogbones & bushings. It has a perfect 1/2 drop nose to tail, and not too low.

All new brakes, re-lined shoes, new components throughout, updated to GM 7" booster and GM drum/drum dual circuit master. New lines, flex hoses, wheel cylinders etc. Stops great, drives great, sounds great. Few dings in the side trim, few pits in the chrome. Drivers seat bottom a little shredded, not bad though. New carpet kit not installed, and some extra bits of stainless I've collected will go with it.

I'm forgetting all kinds of stuff, it's been a massive job. Clean papers, passed gov't mechanical inspection, turnkey ready to go. Asking price is only the dollar investment, not including approx 800 hours of labour!!! Email me with any questions, thanks!

    No, Cadillac is not killing its flagship CT6 sedan

    Sat, Jul 22 2017

    Mark Twain never actually said that reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. But if the Cadillac CT6 could talk, those are the exact words it would use. Speaking to Jalopnik, Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen confirmed, emphatically, "There is absolutely no plan, at all, to cancel the CT6." In fact, says de Nysschen, the CT6 will soon be the beneficiary of significant investment. "The [CT6] forms a very important part of our product strategy going forward for the brand. The car also has a very major contribution to make to the shaping of brand perceptions, and the transformational process that Cadillac is undergoing." For instance, expect the CT6 to spearhead General Motors' most advanced forays into self-driving automobile technology. Interestingly, though, the Cadillac ATS and CTS sedans probably won't live past their current generations as the automaker 're-balances its sedan portfolio.' Replacement models are "in development" right now, says de Nysschen, which will "much more clearly separate the market position, both in terms of target customer demographics, in terms of market segments and in terms of price points between these three sedan lineups." So, that's confirmation that the Cadillac CT6 is going to stick around for a while. But what of other models cited by Reuters to potentially be killed, like the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala and Volt? Read our take on that here, but suffice it to say that we don't think they're in danger, either.

    2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, CT4-V Blackwing bring big performance back to the brand

    Tue, Feb 2 2021

    They're finally here, the real successors to the Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V: the 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing and CT4-V Blackwing. And at least on paper, they sure seem like worthy successors to those superb super sedans. They're more powerful, come with standard manual transmissions, and feature the latest and greatest chassis upgrades available. We'll start things off with the most beastly of the Caddies, the CT5-V Blackwing. Like the CTS-V predecessor, the Blackwing gets a supercharged 6.2-liter pushrod V8. But thanks to intake and exhaust improvements, output is up to 668 horsepower and 659 pound-feet of torque, as opposed to the CTS-V's 640 horses and 630 pound-feet. The engine also is handbuilt in Bowling Green, Ky., just like the short-lived turbocharged DOHC Blackwing V8. It's coupled either to a six-speed manual transmission with a twin-disc clutch, rev matching and no-lift shifting, or a 10-speed 10L90 automatic transmission. Power goes to the electronically controlled limited-slip differential at the rear, and rear-wheel drive is the only drive configuration available. The transmission and differential each get their own oil coolers, too. Cadillac says the CT5-V Blackwing should be able to hit 60 mph in 3.7 seconds with the automatic transmission, and the top speed is over 200 mph. 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing View 13 Photos As for the CT4-V Blackwing, it gets a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 built in Canada, and although it is more powerful than the previous car, it's only by a small amount. The CT4-V Blackwing makes 472 horsepower versus the ATS-V's 464, and the 445 pound-feet of torque is the same between each car. Just like the CT5-V Blackwing, the CT4-V gets either the same six-speed manual transmission or a 10-speed 10L80 automatic transmission, the electronically-controlled limited-slip differential, and the oil coolers. Picking the manual transmission has extra perks on the CT4-V Blackwing, though. The engines in manual cars received titanium connecting rods and revised crankshaft counterweights. The manual transmission's no-lift shift functionality is also more helpful on the CT4-V Blackwing since it keeps the car in boost between gears. Still, Cadillac's 0-60 mph time estimate is for the automatic model at 3.8 seconds. Top speed is 189 mph. 2022 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing View 16 Photos Keeping all that power under control are a variety of chassis upgrades.
