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!

** 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, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad

Fri, 05 Jul 2013

European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.

C7 Corvette won't spawn new Cadillac XLR [w/video]

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

Between the new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray and the even newer Cadillac Elmiraj Concept shown off at Pebble Beach, we were already expecting some sort of chatter of a Cadillac XLR redux. During an in-depth C7 Corvette discussion with Tadge Juechter, the car's chief engineer, Fox News asked if a Corvette-based, Bowling Green-built Cadillac will be built off the C7. Non-spoiler alert: the answer is no.
Juechter says that General Motors has "no intent" on transforming this car into a Cadillac product since the C7 has been optimized for the Corvette buyer, a consumer that's generally a different sort of person than a Cadillac intender who might also be cross-shopping a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class or BMW 6 Series.
While we're not ready to write off a future XLR altogether, we assume that the Corvette Cadillac experiment is most likely never going to happen again. The interview with Juechter is posted below, but the XLR discussion comes in at the 9:00 mark.
