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.

2014 Cadillac XTS gets 410-hp twin-turbo V6
Tue, 14 May 2013General Motors told us so back in March, but it is now official: The twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 announced for the 2014 Cadillac CTS will also join the options list for the 2014 Cadillac XTS. The LF3 engine puts out 410 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque in the XTS, however, which is 10 hp and 61 lb-ft down from its application in the CTS. It will be identifiable from the outside by a specific grille treatment and a badge on the decklid. The 3.6-liter V6 with 304 hp and 264 lb-ft holds steady as the standard engine, and both will be yoked to a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
Also new for the front-wheel drive model for 2014 are updates that include electric power steering and optional Automatic Parking Assist that can maneuver the sedan into parallel parking spots. The three trims above standard - Luxury, Premium and Platinum - get Intellibeam headlights that automatically switch between high- and low-beam,
The four current trim levels remain but the list of optional extras for the higher specs grows with a rear-seat entertainment system equipped with DVD screens in the front seatbacks, memory settings for the front passenger seat and an armrest in the back seat fitted with radio and sunshade controls. The press release below has more info on all of the changes.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
Cadillac HQ has a New York address
Sun, 16 Nov 2014The new home of Cadillac will be in the 330 Hudson building in New York City's Hudson Square, putting the luxury marque smack dab in the middle of three of the city's hippest areas, SoHo, Greenwich Village and Tribeca.
The announcement is yet another milestone in the company's controversial decision to relocate administrative and marketing operations away from Detroit and into the Big Apple.
"The addition of a headquarters office in New York is a key step in Cadillac's ongoing global expansion," Cadillac boss Johan de Nysschen said, according to The Detroit Free Press. "There is no better atmosphere in which to better immerse ourselves into luxury consumer and brand expertise."
