Vehicle Description
Looking to make an impact behind the wheel of a truly singular
ride? This 1964 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe LS Restomod has you
covered and then some! A merger of careful planning and skilled
workmanship have transformed this Caddy into an absolute attention
magnet that also happens to be equipped with a great array of
well-chosen aftermarket components to bring its drivability to a
whole new level.
By the time this '64 came out, the coveted Cadillac coupes were
starting to slow down their big-fin ways, but one look at the
profile and rear end of this long beauty and you can see that
Cadillac wasn't quite finished with bold designs. When you look at
this classic from the side, you'll immediately notice the amount of
space separating the front and rear wheels, amplified by its
distinctively low stance. The customization that's been applied
here is equal parts creative and tasteful - this car looks like no
other in the best possible way and yet still retains plenty of its
original identity, which is a tough balance to strike. The Ebony
Black paint draped over the exterior was applied not long ago and
the job was done very well - it's got a consistently smooth, slick
finish and a nice shine that follows you as you circle the long
flanks of the car. There's tons of bright chrome too, including the
gigantic front and rear bumpers, ornate front grille, and the long
trim piece that splits the profile and breaks up the black paint
just right, so the curb appeal of this '64 is at its absolute
zenith. We have to admit, we can't stop gawking at this car.
The restored black-and-white leather interior has been kept largely
in its original configuration and, while you can see signs of minor
use inside, both the front and rear bench seats still offer their
customary sofa-like comfort and the door panels to each side offer
ornate designs and are in wonderful condition. Just beyond the
original 2-spoke steering wheel, the dash area is also looking very
good, with the speedometer sitting behind the original lens, a
brushed steel accent piece and a very clean looking dash pad
running across the top, and a triple set of auxiliary gauges
underneath that help monitor the engine's vitals. You'll also find
a boomin' upgraded stereo, headlined by a Pioneer double din head
unit that powers upgraded speakers and tweeters in the cabin, along
with the big Kicker subwoofer in the trunk. Options include power
windows, a power bench seat up front, and factory A/C that has been
converted to take R134a refrigerant, although it does need a
service. Out back, the cavernous trunk is in good order as well,
and despite the large ported box that houses the subwoofer, there's
still plenty of room to accommodate most travel plans.
Plenty of modern, dependable power comes in the form of the fuel
injected 5.3L LS V8 Vortec standing by under the hood. The LS was
swapped in just 500 miles ago, and it only has 18k miles on the
block in total, so it's very fresh and ready to power this beauty
for many years to come. Augmented with a Comp Cams Mutha Thumpr cam
and a Stage 1 fuel injection kit, it sparks to life with ease and
hammers down plenty of horsepower, spinning the 4L60E automatic
transmission with overdrive behind it. The presentation of the
engine is very clean and modern, with a slick aluminum intake,
bright valve covers, a tidy induction system, and an aluminum
radiator with an electric fan that keeps the whole show nice and
cool. It's very solid underneath, although not dressed for show,
and the Flowmaster dual exhaust system provides a great soundtrack
to this already sinister black Caddy. A beefy suspension, power
steering, and power front disc brakes ensure that the ride is a
blast, and the stance sits perfectly on a set of 22-inch Boyd
Coddington wheels wrapped in 265/35/22 performance radials.
Well-crafted customization over a vintage foundation combines with
a strong, dependable modern drivetrain to make this 1964 Caddy
Series 62 Restomod a ride like no other. Call today!
