Hello and thank you for your interest!!
This car has been in Sunny San Diego its entire life!
The body is extremely straight with original cardboard and jack .Ive owned this car for about 6 years and its time for a new home.The motor is currently out of the car and has been setting in a box from the machine shop.Every single piece of the motor has been blasted painted with the correct Cadillac blue and wet sanded and polished.Each piece is in a bag with the number of bolts labeled on a zip lock bag.The frame has been painted the hood hinges are the correct cadmium gold This started out as a 100 percent OEM restoration.Most all of the under carriage has been painted and detailed in a stock restoration fashion.All new front end rebuild,ball joints upper and lower,idler arm etc.The transmission has been dissembled and ready for rebuild.I have $2500 in the motor alone!All the glass is good except the drivers side window.A 30 dollar ebay item.The radio works,the electric antenna works the power seats work wonderfully.I all of the stainless is in excellent condition and has been polished at one time.The car has surface rust which comes off with steel wool but will need a paint job.I personally like the original patina.My price may seem a bit high but this is a solid car threw and threw.There is alot of junk out there and you can pick up a beater for around 4k and put another 3 into the body work to get as straight as this one is.390 motors generally run minimum 2k to have rebuilt.The motor specs are below.I would insist on speaking with you about this car before you bid.
block~30 over
pistons~brand new
rings~brand new
crank turned~10
cam reground by Schneider racing cam here in san diego with very mild RV grind
bearings made in usa brand new
heads!ported and polished/new leaded valves both intake and exhaust/decked
new gasket kit
By the way all the parts i have bought for this motor were either american made or new old stock.Most rebuild kits sold for the 390 are from Korea or china.Look into it!
The 61 cadillac are getting very rare and most from what ive seen get shipped over to our friends in Australia and over seas.
comes with extra back glass~worth 450.
all of the stainless inside the car has been cleaned and polished.
Obviously this is a builder but the best bones out there and your half way there.
This is a true american classic and i will be posting many more pictures in the next few days.
Call me at 619-602-6622 would love to speak with you.

Petrolicious eats up Rita Hayworth's 1953 Cadillac Ghia
Wed, Feb 11 2015The automotive industry has seem some wonderful transoceanic collaborations between America and Italy, from the Ford-powered De Tomasos of the 1960s to the alliance between Fiat and Chrysler today. Of course it's also seen unfortunate experiments in between like the Chrysler TC by Maserati and the Pininfarina-bodied Cadillac Allante. But before any of those, there was a beautiful tradition of rebodying American steel at the hands of Italian carrozzerie. And this could easily be among the most gorgeous of them all. It's a Cadillac Series 62 from 1953 with bodywork by Ghia. It's one of only two made, and has a star-studded history. The car was purchased by Aly Khan, prince of the Nizari Ismaili muslims and Pakistan's ambassador to the United Nations, for his wife... who just so happened to be the inimitable Rita Hayworth. They split up, but she held on to the car. Today it's part of the permanent collection at the Petersen Automotive Museum in LA, so the videographical artisans at Petrolicious went by to check it out. You'll want to as well in the five-minute short above.
Consumer Reports loves the 2014 Cadillac CTS
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Our first drive of the 2014 Cadillac CTS was just published today... we really liked the Vsport version. And Consumer Reports has some even stronger words of praise for the all-new luxury sedan. We already knew that Cadillac had stepped up its game with the third-gen CTS, but CR bluntly states that the sedan drives better than its German luxury counterparts.
While CR shows plenty of love for the new CTS, the outlet still takes issue with some of the in-car technology including the CUE infotainment system - no surprise there. The testers' offer all manner of positive comments where the impressive handling capabilities of the sedan are concerned, with lots of drifting around CR's private test facility in evidence to bear them out. Scroll down to watch the CTS get put through its paces.
Cadillac shows dealers convertible rendering
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Cadillac is getting serious about revitalizing and expanding its lineup, and to that end, a new report claims that brand boss Johan de Nysschen has been showing plans for several new models to the marque's dealer body - among them, a new convertible.
The droptop which Cadillac reportedly showed its dealers in sketch form, would be based on the same platform as the ATS and CTS, those it's unclear to which (if either) of those model lines the new convertible would be added, or whether the design features a canvas or folding hardtop roof. One way or another, it would be the first time Cadillac would offer a convertible since the Corvette-based XLR roadster was discontinued more than five years ago.
Quoting an unnamed brand spokesperson, Cadillac would "like to introduce an open car to the portfolio at some point," however, "it's not likely to be one of the near-term portfolio additions."
